This invention relates to improvements in pressed metal hinge members and the method of forming the same.
The objects of this invention are to provide .5 a hinge construction of pressed metal and to devise an improved method of forming the same.
Other objects of this invention will appear frornthe following description and claims 10 when considered together with the accom- Pe r n re ne- Fig. 1 shows the form ofblank'metal from which the hinge members are pressed up; Fig. 2 is an inverted plan View of the same 1.) -metal blank after being pressed; Fig. 3 shows the same pressed metal blank in elevation; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the lower hinge member formed from the blank; and Fig. 5 is a perspective View of the upper hinge mem- 2o ber formed from a similar blank.
7 The metal blank shown in Fig. 1 comprises the end portions 1 and 2, the knuckle port-ion 3 which has the extension 1, and the intermediate portions 5 and 6 j oining the end and knuckle portions. The extension 4: is spaced. from the end portions as indicated at 7 and the intermediate portions are curved as indicated at 8. The edges of the intermediate portions on the other side of the blank are also curved as indicated at 9 and join the knuckle portion in the curved edge 10. The screw holes 11 are provided in the end portions.
Starting with this flat metal blank, the end portions are pressed up into the flanges 12 and 13 to form brackets for engaging the door post. The edges of the intermediate or neck portions 5 and 6 are also pressed into flanges 14 and 15. The shoulder 16 is pressed into the blank to form the extension 4 of reduced diameter, and the knuckle portion of the blank is also pressed so as to lie in a plane between that of the flanges 12 and the neck portions, the knuckle and intermediate neck portions joining each other in the curved portion 17. I
The next step consists in closing the two halves of the blank upon each other so as to form the complete hinge member indicated in Fig. 4. The flanges 13 are thus brought into alignment with each other while the curved portions 14 and 15 abut each other, thereby forming a hollow neck ortio-n. The hinge member is then ready to e applied to the door post by means of screws through the 1921 Serial No. 475,211,
other side of the blank, that is, With the I curved edges 9 and '10. In other words, the blank used to form this particular hinge member is symmetrical not only with respect to the transverse axis but also with respect to the longitudinal axis therethrough. This blank is then pressed up sons t ifO Eln the flanges as already described in connection 7 with the first form except as to the reduced portion 4. The hinge member is then completed by closing thetwo halves of the blank upon each other, thereby abutting the flanges 1 1 and .15 against each other at the two ends of the neck portion. This hinge member is then ready to be applied to the upper portion of the door post.
From the above it will be seen that I have not only provided hinge members pressed up from blank metal, which means a decrease in the cost of manufacture, but have also devised a method of pressing up such hinge members from metal blanks which lends to the facility with which such hinge members can be manufactured. A further advantage resides in the fact that the blanks after they have been pressed into the form illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, can be shipped and then completed by closing the two halves of the blanks upon themselves. This means a decided saving in the space required for shipping of such hinge members.
Other advantages resulting from this invention will suggest themselves to those who are familiar with the art towhich it relates.
What I claim is:
l. A blank for a hinge member, comprising a knuckle portion, each end portion of said knuckle portion being curved and continuing into a neck portion, said neck portions extending substantially parallel to said knuckle portion and each of said neck portions continuing into an arm-of an angular bracket portion, each bracket portion comprising two arms, the second arm thereof constituting the end portion of the blank and the two halves of the blank being suhstan tially symmetrical.
2. A blank for a hinge member, comprismg a knuckle portion, each end portion of sald knuckle portion being curved and contin- "uing into a neck portion, said neck portions 5 transverse axis thereof.
3. The method of forn'iing a hinge member from a sheet metal blank havin a knuckle portion, end angular bracket portions and 'intermedlate neck portions, consisting 1n pressing said blank to completely form the angular brackets and partially form the knuckle, and then cOn'lpleting the hinge mem her by pressing the knuckle to substantially cylindrical shape and thereby bringing the I neck portions into substantially parallel re-' lation. Y
4. Theinethod of forming a hinge member from a sheet metal blank havlng a knuckle port on, end angular bracket portions and intermediate neck port-ions, consisting in pressing said blank to completely form the angular brackets and simultaneously partially form the knuckle, and then completing the hingemember by pressing the knuckle to substantially cylindrical shape and thereby bringing the neck port-ionsinto substantially .parallel relation.
5. The method of forming a hinge member from a sheet metal blank having a knuckle portion, end bracketportions and interme-r diate neck portions, consisting in pressing said blank to completely form brackets, to provide the neck portions with inwardly extendingstrengthening flanges, and to partially form the knuckle, and then completing the hinge member by pressing the knuckle into substantially cylindrical shape and thereby bring the neck portions into substantially parallel relation.
