HINGE.

Appnnun mea :une 1, 193s. smal Na. 11am.

This invention relates to hinges of the invisible type and particularly to hinges constructed for use in the mounting of the doors of motor vehicles or which may be -used for any purpose; and the object of the invention is to rovide one of the butts of a hinge o the c ass specified with means for reinforcing and strengthening a predetermined portion thereof and further to provide a stop for limiting the outward movement of the door; a further object being to provide a hinge, one of the butts of which is fashioned from sheet metal and consists of two substantiall L-shaped parts coupled together by t e pintle pin employed -and further coupled together by a reinforcing sheet metal member of yoke-shaped form in cross section positioned on said parts of the butt adjacent the outer end portion thereof and in spaced relation with reference-thereto and which may also extend onto the pintle pin portion of said parts and partially form the bearing for said pin by the passage of lwith and with the pin therethrough; and with these and other objects in view, the inventlon consists in a device of the class and for-the purpose specified, which is sim le in construction,-

eiiicient in use, and which is constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention isfully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in 'which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by' suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in Whichz y Fig. 1 is a sectional view through a part of a door and door frame showing my improved hinge mounted in connection thereart of the construction broken away and 1n section.

Fig. 2 is a partial section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the construction as seen in Fig. 1 of the drawing but showing the door in anopen position. Fig. 4 is a view similar-to Fig. lbut showlng only part of a hinge and showing `of the arrow 5 in Fig. 4, with part of the hinge broken away, and in sectlon; and,

Fig 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5, but showin parts in full section, and showing a modi cation.

In the drawing, I have indicated at 10 .a part of a door frame and at 11 a part of a f door, and mounted in connection with one side face of the door 11 is a hin e member 12 in the form of a hook-shape arm having an attaching plate portion 13 adapted to be secured to the door, and the hook end 14 of the arm extending outwardly with reference to the outer swinging of the door and being arranged within the boundaries of the side edge ofthe door in connection with which it is mounted or within the boundaries of the door frame as seen. The outer end' 14 of the butt 12 is provided with an aperture 15 in which the pintle p in 16 secured to the other butt 17 of the hinge is mounted.

The butt 17 in the construction shown is composed of two

similar butt parts

18 and 19, L-shaped in cross sectional form and comprising attaching

plate portions

18, and 19 and pmtle bearing ortions 18" and 19", which in the constructlon of the butt are directed'inwardly into the door frame and are in parallel relation with each other and coupled together by the intle in 16 which is secured thereto or to ateral

y projecting ears

18c and 19 onl the parts 18" and 19".

In practice, I provide the parts 18" and 19" adjacent the ears 1819 and also adjacent the attaching plate parts 18"-19 with notches 2O to receive the crosshead portion 21 of a yoke-shaped reinforcing member 22, the ends 23 of said member extending in parallel relation and overlying the pintle bearing parts 18" and 19" of t e inge utt 17 as clearl seen in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, an being riveted or otherwise secured as seen at 24 to said parts 18" and 19". By providing the notches 20, the outer face of the crosshead 21 of the member 22 will lie flush with the corres of the separateparts of the utt as clearly seen in Fig. 1 of the drawing, but this strucvture is not absolutely necessary as the feaf nding edges 19 thereof adjacent the attaching plate por-` tions18a and 19a and also to provide a stop member for limiting the outward swlnging movement of the door 11 as seen 1n Flg. 3

Vof the drawing, it being understood that the shown a slight modification, whereln I have substituted for the member 22 a reinforcing member 25 also of -yoke-shaped cross the sectional form, and the crosshead 26 of this member is wider than the crosshead 21 of the member 22 as clearly seen in Fig. 4 of the drawing. The end portions 27 are of such form as to correspond with the contour of the pintle bearing portions 18b and 19b of a hinge butt. It is also preferred that rojecting ears 28 formed on the end portions 27 to correspond with the

ears

18 and 19 will have apertures 29 to receive the pintle pin 16 whereby said pin will be provided With a greater bearing surface and will also serve to secure the reinforcing member to the hinge butt. However, other means may also be employed if desired, to aid in securing the parts together as by welding as indicated at 30 in Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawing.

The crosshead 26 of the member 25 also functions as a stop and further provides a. substantial side wall for the hinge butt 17 or the pintle bearing portions 18b and 19b thereof.

A hinge constructed in the manner described may be made strong and durable in a simple, economical and effective manner, and in addltlon to the relnforcement of the 'hinge butt, the reinforcing member emstood that I am not necessarily limited to vthe structure herein shown and described, and various changes therein and modifications thereof may be made within the scope of the appended claims Without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages. l

In Fig. 6 of the drawing, I have shown another modification wherein a yoke-shaped butt bod 31 similar in general contour to the mem er 26, seen in Figs. 4 and 5, is

rovided as the main member of the hinge Butt. Secured to the outer faces of the side members 32 of the butt body 31 are L- shaped butt parts 33 comprising attaching plate portions 34 and pintle bearing portions 35. The p/intle bearing portions 35 are similar to the side portions 32 of the body 31, the latter also forming pintle bearing portions as will be apparent, it being understood that the

portions

32 and 35 are of the general contour, in plane, as the pintle bearing portions of the parts 18-19 and 2 6 in Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawing. The parts 33 are secured to the body 31 by riveting or otherwise as seen at 36.
