A. E. SCOT HINGE Filed June 1, 1923 Patented May 12, 1925.
UNITED STA ALBERT E. soon, or HOUSTON, Texas.
HINGE.
Application filed June 1,
that it will hold said door or gate in open or in closed position.
The hinge is also specially adapted for use in mounting built-in furniture, such as ironing boards, cots, and the like, in that, when said articles are folded up into a vertical position, into or against the wall they will not fall down by gravity but will be held in said position.
Another object of the invention vide a hinge of the character is to prodescribed I, which is of comparatively simple construction and may be cheaply and easily manufactured and which is very efiective in use.
With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation, and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a plan view of the hinge.
Figure 2 shows a fragn'ientary View of a door in elevation mounted on my improved type of hinge.
Figure 3 shows a transverse sectional view of the door and hinge taken on the line 3-3 of the Figure 2.
Figures 4 and 5 show edge views of the door plates employed and,
Figures 6 and 7 show end views of said respective plates.
In the drawings numeral 1 designates the wall or door facing, or other support for the door or shutter 2. The hinge proper is formed of the hinge plates 3 and 4 which are joined together in the usual manner. The hinge is formed with .a transverse slot 5 out through the joint as illustrated in Figure 1, and the plate 3 is formed with an anchor bar 6 which spans said slot, and forms an anchor for one end of the pull spring 7. The plate 3 is pref- 1923. Serial No. 642,736.
erably fastened to the wall 1 Or other support 111 the usual way, and the door or gate, or other article to be swung is sustained by the other hinge plate 4, it being understood thattwo or more hinges are to be used for each door, gate, or the like. The ad acent edge of the door has a deep slot 8 n whlch the spring 7 works, and this slot is covered on one side by means of the plate 9 which is attached to the door and whose inner side carries a U-shaped anchor 10 to which the other end of said spring is attached, said spring also working through the slot 5. Attached to the door opposite the plate 9 there is a plate 11, which, in CI'OSS'SBCUOD 1s concavo-convex, so as to give sufficient room for the play of the spring 7 as the door is swung open and shut. In swinging the door open the spring 7 will be placed under tension until its end, anchored to the door, had passed center and 1f the door is released, before center is passed, the tension of the spring will pull the door into a closed position and hold 1t in said position. After center has been passed, the tension of the spring will tend to swing the door. on its open position and will there hold it until it is again swung into closed position.
The action of the hinge in the case of built-in furniture, ironing boards, and the like, Will be substantially the same as when applied to a door or a gate.
What I claim is:
l. The combination with a door or other swinging object, and a support therefor, of a hinge for supporting said door from said support, said hinge and the adjacent part of the door being slotted, a yieldable member adapted to swing through said slots, one end of the said member being connected to the door and the other end being anchored to said support at a point eccentric with respect to the joint of the hinge, plates secured to the opposite sides of the door and enclosing the slots thereof.
2 The combination with a door or other swing object, and a support therefor, of a hinge for supporting said door from said support, said hinge and the adjacent part of the door being slotted, a yieldable member adapted to swing through said slots, one end of the said member being connected to the door and the other end being anchored to said support at a point eccentric with respect to the joint of the hinge, plates secured to the opposite sides of the door and enclosing the slots thereof, one of said plates having its inner side concaved.
3. A hinge including two members joined together and having a slot cut through the joint transversely With respect to the axis-- thereof, a fixed support to which one of the hinge members is anchored, a swinging member supported by the other hinge member, and having a slotaligned-With the hinge slot, a yield-able member pivoted at one end'to the support and at its other end to said swinging member, said yieldable 7 member being disposed to swing"through the joint of the hinge.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to: t111S.Sp8ClfiC2Lt101'l 1n the presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.
