7 My invention relates to holders for doors, casement windows or the like and-more particularly to holders which are so arranged issubstantiallyhidden from view and which is simple and cheap both to manufacturefand to install. i 7 ,My invention is fully shown'in the accompanying drawings whereinzsimilar characters-are used to designate similar parts Fig. 1 shows one form of holderembodying my invention installed on acasement window; Figs. 2 and 3 show in section the holder. in different positions;-Figs. 4 and 5 show de-- tails of construction of thedevice of the first three figures; Figs-.6 and 7 show one modified form of the holder and Figs. 8 and 9 and 10,11 and 12 show other-modified forms of holders including embodiments of -my' in- 'vention. j 1

' In the embodiment of my invention shown in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive, the holderis comprised ina hinge of the general type shown and described in-United States Letters Patent No 1,683,814'heretofore issued to me on September 11, 1928. The hinge has a leaf 1 carried by the window 2 and a leaf 3 carried by the jamb 4. A pin 5 extends through theknuckle 6 of the hinge and, preferably, has its lower end threaded in the knob 7, forthe reasons more fully outlined below. The up-' per tubular portion of the knuckle 6 carried by the leaf. 3 of the hinge'has the notches 8 "adapted to receive the lugs 9 which project downwardly from the-head of the pin 5 or under certain conditions outlined more fully below to receive the'ba-se of the'stop member 10=which extends outwardly fromthe-pin The object of my invention is to provide a" holder for doors or casementwindowswhich door or window is opened and as the leaf 1 is and then downwardly between the leaves 1 and 3 of the hinge. When the lugs 9 on the head of the'pin 5 and the base of'the stop member 10 are seated in the notches 8 the stop member 10 will be maintained in fixed relation to the :leaf 3 of the hinge which leaf, as

described above, carries the upper tubular portion'of theknuckle 6 of the hinge. When the door or window upon 'whichfthe hinge is used is opened the stop member will engage the other leaf 1 of the hinge, as shown in Fig. 2 to stop the opening movement of the hinge and, in turn, to stop the opening movement of the door or window. I prefer that the stop member 10 is disposed tangentially of the head of the pin 5, as shown in Figs. 3

and 5, so that the entire face of the stop mem- 7 her will: engage the leaf as shown in Fig. 2.: p The holder also includes automatic means 2 for maintaining the hinge and, of course, the 7 ,door or wi'ndowin this open position and in this form of my invention the means consists of a spring lock arranged in a casing 11 fixed tothe leaf 1. The bolt 12 ofthelockis held in normal extendedposition by the spring 13 and has a shoulder'l l which bears against the inside of. the end of the vcasing 11 to keep the bolt 12 from beingextended too farby the spring 13. The outer'face of the bolt 12 is beveled in the usual manner so that when the moved into engagement with the stop member 10 the stop member will first engage the beveled face of? the bolt and as the opening movement is continued the bolt will be moved inwardly in the casing 11 against'the' action ofthe spring13. When the leaflcomes into engagementwith the stop member 10 the stopmembr will' have moved past the bolt 12 and the spring 13 will ihove-thebolt to hold the leaf 1 andfstop member 10 in engagement 7 and thereby lock the'hinge in open position.

When it is desired toclose the door or window the bolt 1 12 may be withdrawn by manually movingthe plunger 15. In the form of my'invention shown in F gs. 1 .to 5,", inclusive; the hinge maybe used on doors or windows which open to the rightas j {well asthose which open to the left; as shown in the. figures; When the hinge is so used it is installed upside downand the knob 7 threaded on the lower end of the pin 5 will .the leaf 3 the is moved longitudinally to bring the lugs 9 and the base ofthe stop member 10; into the notches 8 and the knob 7 is tightened.v Y

In the embodiment of my invention shown in Figs. 6and 7 the stop member-l6 is fixed to the leaf 3 and therefore cannot. be moved in relati-onythereto to adjust the opening movement of the door or window to which it .is 'applied. However, if it is desired tovopen the door or window to a degree .less than the degree allowed by the stop member 16 the door or window will be held by the spring 17 carried by the leaf landwhich contacts with and follows the contour of a serrated-drum l8 fixedto the leaf 3 above thestop member 16. Preferably, the spring ismaintained in bet- .ter contact with the drum 18 by a roller 1-9 positioned as showninFigfi. 4

Also inithisembodiment of my invention the bolt 1280f the locking means has both sides beveled so that a pressureupon the door or window either in opening ,or closing the window will move the stop member 16 to exert a pressure against thebeveled face of the bolt to move theboltinwardly.

.In the enibodimentshown in Figs. 8 and 9 the p arts of the holder are similar to the parts in the embodiment shownin Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive, but the holder is not included v inclusive, .theholder does in a hinge. The locking means is vcarriedby a plate 20 which, when the door or window is moved to open position-engages a plate '21 carried on the jamb. i I i In theembodiment shownin Figs. 10 to 12, V notcomprise a stop member of the type shownand described herein inother embodiments, but has a portion of the knuckle'ofthe hinge carried by theleaf 3 serrated and the'JQoltlQ of the .locking means is arranged tofengag the serrations when the door or windowupon which thehinge is used is opened or, closed and to therebyhold the door-in predetermined open pos tion. 'vlhis embodiment also includes a means ifor adpistingthe tension of, the spring 13 which consists ofdisk 22against which the spring bears and a set screw 23 by which the distance of the disk 22-from the end of the Easing of the locking'means may be reguate . Although :theembodiments shown idetails of eonstructionin each of them there is a member carried by the door or window and a member carried by the jamb and these members are moved relative to each other about the axis of the door or window when" the door or window is opened. Also, each embodiment includes a means'for ma1nta1n ing the members ,infixed relatlon when the door or window is in open position whereby the door or window will be maintained in such open position. Other embodiments of arechanged in sizeor arrangement without my invention may bemade in which the parts deviating from thespirit-o-f my invention as included in the claims below.
