HINGE Filed April 27, 1932 ff, /X e f6 l INVENTOR Patented May 23, 1933 i UNITED STATES WILLIAM I. GODFREY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK HINGE Application led April 27,

An object of the invention is to provide a hinge having a bolt movable longitudinally of the hinge pintle for disposal in an opening or guideway.

Another object of the invention is to provide a hinge having a hollow pintle in which the bolt is movably disposed. Resilient means are provided for holding the boltA yieldingly extending relatively to the hollow pintle, and means are also provided for limiting the movement of the bolt and forsecuring the bolt within the hollow pintle.

A further object of the invention is to limit the withdrawal of the bolt into the hollow pintle and to hold the bolt in its withdrawn position.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification in which the preferred form of the invention is described.

In the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts in the several views, of which Figure 1 is a fragmentary view of a window frame having sashes which are c o1inected by the hinges which are the subject matter of this application.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the hinge which is the subject matter of this applica tion.

Figure 3 is a sectional View on the line 3*-3 of Figure 2, and Y Figure 4 is an end view, the leaves being omitted. t

The hinge which is the subject matter of this application may be used for various purposes, but is particularly well adapted for the window which is the subject matter of the Patent No. 1,858,149, issued May 10, 1932.

The hinge has two leaves, one of which is shown at 5 in Figure 3 of the drawing, a knuckle or knuckles being secured to each of the leaves of the hinge. In the drawing three knuckles 6 are shown secured to the 1932. Serial No. 607,820.

leaf 5, there beingtwo knuckles 7 secured to i the other leaf of the hinge. The leaf 5 is preferably secured to the sash 9, while the companion leaf is preferably secured to the sash 8. Therefore, it will be seenthat the knuckles 6 will be secured relatively to the sash 9.

Disposed in the

knuckles

6 and 7 there is a cylindrical pintle 10 which is securedto a knuckle 6 at one end of the hinge by means 55 of turning over the end of the cylindrical pintle 10 at 11 for gripping the said knuckle 6. At the other end of the hinge is a flange 12 ,is turned over and is disposed in a recess 13 in the other end knuckle 6. With this 60 construction it will be understood that the cylindrical pintle l0 is prevented from rotating relatively to the knuckles 6 and is also prevented from longitudinal movement relatively to the said knuckles. The end 6 5 14 of the cylindrical pintle 10 extends beyond the knuckles, as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. This end 14. of the cylindrical pintle 10 has a slot or `guideway V15, there being a bolt 16 disposed in the cylindrical 7(7)VA pintle 10, the bolt 16 having a projection 17 disposed for movement in the slot or guideway '15.

Disposed on the outer end 14l of the cylindrical pintle 10, there is a collar 18 which 75 has a head 19 with arcuate guideways 2O through which ianges 21 extend from the cylindrical pintle 10, the flanges 21 being bent over the vouter side of the head 19 to prevent the outward movementof the cols l lar 18 relatively to the cylindrical pintle 10 and'also to limit the rotary movement of the collar relatively to the cylindrical pintle 10. The inner end of collar 18 is spaced from the adjacent knuckle 6 so lthat the pro- 85 jection 17 on the bolt 16 may travel in the slot or guideway 15 in the cylindrical pin# tle l0 before reaching a slot or guideway 22 in the vcollar 18. Writh this construction the .collar 18 may be rotated to move its slot or 90 guideway 22 out of alinement with the slot or guideway 15, and thereby limit the withdrawal of the bolt 16. It will also be seen that the collar 18 has a lateral recess 23 extending from its slot or guideway 22 so that when the bolt 16 has been fully withdrawn the collar 18 may be rotated to receive the projection 17 in its recess 23 and thereby hold the bolt in this withdrawn position. rlhe bolt 16 has a shoulder 24 and between this shoulder and the head 19 there is a spring for holding the bolt yieldingly extended.

When the hinges, which have been described, are used in connection with the sashes 8 and 9, two hinges will be employed, one at each side of the sashes, the leaves ot the hinges being secured to the sashes to connect them together in the. well known manner. With this construct-ion, the bolts 16 may be held extended by the vsprings 25 in the guideways 26 in the window frame 27 and in engagement with teeth 28 of racks which are secured in the guideways 26, it

Vbeing possible to withdraw the bolts 16 by pulling on a cord 29 which has its ends secured to the inner ends of the bolts 16. When the collars 18 are positioned as shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawing, the bolts 16 may be withdrawn from the teeth 28 and also from the guideways 26, and the bolts 16 may be held in this withdrawn position by rotating the collars 18 so that the projections 17 will be disposed in the recesses 23. When it is desired to withdraw the bolts 16 from the teeth 28 but not from the guideways 26 the collars 18 will be rotated to move their slots or guideways 22 out ot e alinement with the slots or guideways 15 tle disposed in the knuckles,

and the withdrawal of the bolts 16 will be limited .by the engagement of the projections 17 with the inner ends of the collars 18.
