HINGE.
To nalli/whom it muy eomem:
Be it known that I, FRANK BURNS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Westfield, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented. new and useful Improvement in Hinges, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to hinges for doors, lids, or the like, and more particularly to hinges ,of this kind which are made of stamped or pressed metal. p
The objects of the invention are to produce a hinge of this kind which consists only of the two relatively movable hinge 16 parts vor leaves and in which the usual .hinge or pivot pin connecting the hinge leaves is eliminated; also to form a hinge in which the Vtwo hinge leaves are provided with portions which are so formed as to constitute bearings or pivotal connections for the two'leaves; also to provide a collar or turned over part on one of the hinge leaves which is adapted to bear against the other hinge leaf to increase the strength of the hinge; also to so construct hinges of this kind that the ends of the' bearing lips .or portions can be riveted or otherwise secured to the hinge leaf; also to improve the construction of-hinges of this kind in other respects hereinafter specified.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar. 14, 1922. 'Application mea Merch so, 191s. serial No. 225,679. l
Fig. 10 is a side elevation thereof.
Fig. 11 is a fragmentary sectional elevation thereof on line 11-11, Fig. 10.
Fig. 12 is a plan view of a hinge embodying still another slightly modified form of the invention.
Fig. 13 'is a fragmentary side elevation thereof.
Fig. 14 is a fragmentar side elevation of one of the hinge leaves efore the hinge is completed. f
Briefly stated, the hinge embodying the invention comprises two hinge leaves, one of which has a pivot portion or member formed integral therewith, and the other of which has a bearing portion or portions into which the pivot portion or member is adapted to enter and which are so formed that the two hinge leaves can be assembled or separated when the same occupy a certain definite position with regard to each other.
Referring first to the construction sho-wn in Figs. 1-6, A and B represent the two leaves ofthe hinge, which may be of any desired shape or form and which are preferably made of sheet metal. The leaf A is provided ,with a pivot portion or member a which is formed integral with the hinge A and is connected therewith by a relatively1 centrally disposed neck or reduced portion a the widthof which is preferably less than the length of the pivot portion. The pivot portion a is made b bending apart of the hinge leaf into su stanti-ally cylindrical shape by dies or other suitable means and is adapted to take the place of the pivot pin which is usually employed for connecting the two leaves of the hinge. The leaf B is provided with a plurality of bearing portions or members b', two bearing members being shown which are adapted to receive the cylindrical or pivot portion a of the hinge A. The bearing portions b b are spaced apart so as to permit the neck por-` tion a on the leaf A to pass between the two bearing portions of the leaf B. The bearing portions b b are formed integral with the leaf B and are bent or pressed into the desired shape, the bearing portion b being bent to form a substantially closed loop. The other bearing 'portion b does not form an entirely closed loop, leaving an opening or slot b2 through which the neck portion a of the leaf A may pass when the leaves are assembled or separated. In order to assemble the parts of the hinge shown in Figs. 1-6, one end of the cylindrical or pivot portion a of thev leaf A is inserted into the bearing portion b of theleaf B, and the leaves are swung relatively to each other into a position to cause the neck a of the leaf A to pass through the slot b2 of the other leaf. The two leaves may be slid relatively to each other until the edge of the neck a engages the closed bearing portion b and the two leaves are then free to swing with regard to each other and can only be separated when again brought into a position in which the neck portion a may pass through the slot b2. In the construction shown in Figs. 1-6, the leaf B has a portion b3 arranged between the two bearing portions b lb and adapted to form a stop against which the neck portion a of the other hinge leaf may engage, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, to limit the swinging ofA they hinge leaves relatively to each other. This stop portion b3 being formed integral with the leaf B also strengthens somewhat the two bearing portions b b.
The hinge shown in Figs. 7 and 8 is substantially similar to that shown in Figs. 1-6, except that the to portion b3 is omitted. In this construction, represents one of the leaves of the hinge which is provided with bearing portions 0 c and the metal of the leaf C between these two bearing portions is cut out as shown at c2 in such a manner that the two hinge leaves can swing almost through a complete revolution, as shofwn in Fig. 8.
In the construction shown in Figs. 9-11, D represents one of the hinge members which is provided with a cylindrical pivot portion d formed integral therewith, and 'E represents the other leaf which is provided with bearing portions e e. The cylindrical or pivot portion d and the bearing portions e e are formed in such a manner that the body portions of the hinge leaves extend substantially tangential with regard to these portions, thus forming an offset hinge as shown in Fig. `10. The cylindrical or pivot portion and the bearing portions of the two hinge leaves may be arranged in any other desired relation to the hinge leaves. The cylindrical or pivot member d may be provided with a turned over or annular offset portion d which is adapted to bear against the outer edge of the bearing portlon e, thereby forming an additional bearing surface for the leaf D on-the leaf E. By means of this construction the weight supported on two bearing portions e e. In other respects the hinge shown in these gures is similar to those shown in Figs. 1-8.
The hinge shown in Figs. 12-14' is substantially similar to the one shown in Figs. 9-11 except that the free ends of the bearing portions or loops are secured to the leaf in any desired manner so as to 'afford additional strength. In'these figures a hinge leaf F is provided with bearing portions or loops f f', which are provided wlth extensions or` parts f2 which, before the hinge is completely assembled, are arranged at a distance from the body portion ofthe leaf F,'as shown in Fig. y14, forming slots f3 through which the neck portion g of the hinge leaf G may pass when the c lindrical or pivot portion g of ythe leaf is placed into itsoperative position in the bearing portions f f. After the hinge is assembled the ends f2 of the bearing portions are secured to the body portion of the leaf F byy any suitable means, rivets f3 being used in the construction illustrated. By means of this construction, greater strength is obtained, since both ends of the bearing loops f f are secured to the body portion of the hinge leaf F. The cylindrical or pivot member gof the leaf G is also provided with a collar or annular offset portion g2 to increase the strength of the hinge.
The hinge described has the advantage of eliminating the .usual pivot pin connecting the two hinge leaves. The hinge can therefore be completely made from pressed or stamped metal and is inexpensive to produce and of strong and durable construction.
I claim as my invention:
1. A hinge comprising two leaves, one of said leaves having a side shaped to provide a substantially cylindrical pivot portion and a reduced neck portion connecting said pivot portion to the body of the leaf, and the other of said leaves having a side shaped to provide end bearing portions adapted to surround opposite ends of said pivot portion, one of said bearing portions having a slot in its side through which the neck ofthe other of said leaves is adapted to pass when the hinge is bein assembled, a collar surroundin one of t e ends of said pivot portion an adapted to bear against the outer edge of one of said bearings to `limit lengthwise movement of said pivot portion through the bearings. 2. A hinge comprising two leaves, one of said leaves having a substantially cylindrical pivot (portion extending along one side thereof an a neck portion of lesser width than said pivot portion connecting said pivot portion and the body of the leaf,the other of said leaves having one side shaped to provide bearing portions at opposite ends of said side adapted to receive the ends of said 65 the hinge may be distributed between thecylindrical pivot portion, one of said bear- 130 the side of said leaf between said bearing 1918. portions providing a stop to engage the neck portion of said other leaf and limit swinging ing portions having a slot through which 'ment of said pivot port-ion in one direction 10' a said neck portionl is adapted to pass when through said bearings. l the' hinge is being assembled, a portion of Witness my hand, this 28th day of March,
