Description

L. THARP AUTOMOBILE noon SPRING June 2. 19.25-
Filed June 11, 1924 iwf/765565 61H01 En,
18 of the spring are placed on the outer surface of one leaf, Whilethe intermediate U shaped arm 19 of the spring is placed .in engagement with the outer .surface df .the other leaf. The hinge pintle 8 is now` placed in the openings 2() and back into the hinge barrels 7. a
NOW it can be seen that Whenithe ydoor G of an automobile is opened, that the leaves and 6 will swing on the-hinge pintle 8in the usual manner and that the arms 18 andgtliearm 19 will be forced apart in opposite direct-ions increasing lthe tension `of the spring 17 and thus as soon as the door is released,.the arms of thef-spring AWill. automatically returnthe .door to its closed position. `It is Vobvious .thatthis will effectively prevent the automobile ldoor from being injured by being leftlopen and coming in contact with extraneous. objects suchas the garage door and the like Whentheyearis being placedin the garage.
The arms 18- 18 ofV the spring 17 are rigidly connected togetherby a Vsuitable strip 25 `in order that spreading of the armsaelative to one another and slipping thereof ofi ot the hinge leaf will be prevented.
Changes in detail may be made without departing from the spirit or the scopeof this invention. Y
That I claim. asnew is, Y :1. The combination with a-conventional hinge of the butttype including a pair of hinge leaves, barrels yformed on the hinge leaves, a hinge pintle received in saidbarrels, of a spring attachment, for the-'hinge embodying a case,a spring mounted Within the case, means connectingtheeaseto the hinge pin, and arms "formed on the spring arranged to engage the outer faces of the leaves.
`2. The combination .with a conventional hinge of the bnttltype including a pair of hinge leaves, hinge barrels formed on the leaves, a hinge Vpin fitted in said barrels, of`
an `attachment for the leaves for normally urging the ,leaves tovvard each other embodying a case including upper and lower WallS'aI'i-'anged 'to receive the hinge barrels and having openings formed therein registering with the hinge barrels, the openmgs beingedapbedto receive the `hinge pin for connecting the case with :the hinge,4 a coil springtted -withinand Secured to the case, and varms formed on .the `spring mormallyyv tending to move towardlone another .engaging theiouter faces .of the leaves of thehinge.
Attachments for hinges "of the nonspring type eomprisinga, case including an arcuate outer wall, forwardly extending upper `and lower `Walls [formed 0n thegouter Wall, and iside Walls connecting :the outer
