y `Application April 6, 1945,`Serial No. 586,948
2 Claims. (Cl. 16-135) Our invention relates to an improvement in semi-concealed combination adjustable hinge and cabinet supports.
An object of our invention is to provide a cabinet door hinge which will serve not only to hinge a door on a cabinet, but also to securely support the corner of the cabinet.
A further object is to provide a hinge secured to a corner of a cabinet, supporting the cabinet members securely in their adjusted position, and hinging thereto one corner of a door.
A still further object is to provide a cabinet hinge which may be secured to a corner of a cabinet, and which may support a cabinet door so that the door may be adjusted laterally of the cabinet without actually removing the door therefrom.
A still further object is to provide a cabinet door hinge which may be secured to the cabinet, and which may be utilized to secure the adjacent sides of Ytwo cabinets together.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is'aperspective View of a hinge to sup- -port the upper left hand corner of a cabinet door;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same hinge;
Fig. 3 is a front elevation;v
Fig. 4 is a side elevation;
Fig. 5 is a plan View of the portion of the hinge adapted to be secured to the door;
Fig. 6 is a plan View of the portion of the hinge adapted to be secured to the cabinet; and
Fig. 7 is a front elevation showing four of our hinges secured to four cabinet corners.
For ease of understanding, attention will be directed first to Fig. 7, wherein four adjacent cabinet corners are shown, and to which four hinges have been properly attached so that their respective doors may be properly hung on the hinges to serve as closures for the individual cabinets. Such door closures may be hung on our hinges in such manner that the edges of the doors may be practically contiguous with the next adjacent doors. In the upper right-hand corner of Fig. '7, we have disclosed a cabinet having a vertical side wall or jamb 2, and a horizontal portion or base 4, which in accordance with conventional construction are joined together at right-angles. In the upper left corner of Fig. 7, a vertical side or jamb 6 is shown at approximate right-angles to the base or horizontal section 8 of a cabinet corner positioned contiguous to the iirst cabinet corner described above. Directly beneath the cabinet corner in the upper right-hand corner of Fig. 7, the vertical wall or jamb I0 is shown with its top or horizontal frame member I2 positioned at 2 right-angles to one another. In the lower left hand corner, the same structure obtains, there being a vertical side wall or jamb I4 positioned at right-angles to the horizonta1 frame member or top I6.
It will be obvious that the hinges disclosed in Fig. '7, and about tobe described, on the upper right-hand side and the lower left hand side, as well as hinges on the upper left hand side and the lower right hand side, are identical.
Preferably, we make our hinges of pressed metal or the like, which have beenl made and proven satisfactory in sixteen gauge, although it will be understood that either a heavier or a lighter gauge can be used in the event that heavier or lighter doors are to be attached to cabinets. The main body portion 20 of the hinge is adapted to be secured to a door jamb, such as the door jambs 2, 6, I0 and I4, by suitable screws 22 being driven through the body portion 2U and into the door jamb members. The main body portion 20 of the hinge also is preferably provided with an outstanding ear 24, which is provided with avsuitable hole through which a conventional screw 26 may be driven into the horizontal member 4, 8, I2, or I6 of the cabinet which is adapted to be positioned at right-angles to the vertical sections or jambs of the cabinet. In this manner, the main body portion 20 of the hinge forms in eiTect an angle-iron securely to maintain the rightangle sides of acabinet.
The main body portion of the hinge is also provided with an extended portion, which is bent over at right-angles to the main body portion to form a plate 28, through which a suitable hole is drilled, so that a screw 30 may be driven into the side member of door jamb 2, 6, I0 or I4. Screw 30 will obviously be at right-angles to the screws 22, and will position the main body 20 of the hinge securely on the cabinet frame or door jamb. The plate '28 is also preferably provided with an aperture 32 so that a suitable bolt 34 may be utilized to additionally secure two hinge body portions together on their respective vertical side portions or j-ambs (for example 2 and B) and at the same time serve to hold the two contiguous cabinets securely together.
One end of the main body portion 20 of the hinge is bent over at an approximate right-angle to form the support or wing 36, which is to be pivotally secured to the portion of the hinge fasened to the door to be hung. The iiat portion 40 of the hinge which is adapted to be secured to a door to be hung is preferably made of pressed metal or the like, and this fiat portion 4&0 of th@ 3 hinge :nay lalso be made of any suitable gauge, depending upon the size and weight of the door which must be hung,
The flat portion 40 of the hinge is adapted to be pivotally secured to the support or wing 36 by means of a suitable rivet 42 which will be upset at its ends so that it will not become disengaged from the holes provided in the support 36 and the door portion 40 of the hinge. These two portions of the hinge preferably do not directly contact one another but are separated by the insertion of a suitable washer 114 positioned therebetween.
The iiat portion 40 of the hinge, which is adapted to be secured to the door to be hung, has'a portion thereof bent over at right-angles to the main portion. The portion 40, as clearly shown in iig-A ures, may be provided with one or more oblong apertures 46, through which suitable screws may be driven into a door which is to be hung. The portion 50,f which is bent at right-angles -to the main at portion-4U ofthe hingeis likewise-provided with'anoblong aperture 52, through which a--suitable screw may-be driven into the door.
It will be understood that screws driven through the oblong apertures i6 and `52will be approximately lat right-angles to one another, andv consequently will securely hold the door on the door portions 40 and 5G `of the hinge. These apertures are preferably made in an elongated form, so 'that adoor which-has been hung maybe -conviently moved either toward or away from the axis-of pivoting the'hinge by merely loosening the screws and subsequently tightening them vafter the-door 'has been placed in its re-adjusted vposition.
It will 'be understood that by the use of our hinge, four separate'anddistinct corners of four separater cabinet -spaces may be securely positioned contiguously, as shownv in-Fig. 7, and to these corners proper doors may be conveniently hung and maybe adjusted so that their adjacent edges may be made `to be practically contiguous. Also, while we have shown in the draw- ;ings only four contiguous and-adjacent corners,
.it will-be vunderstoodthat hinges identical with -those-shown in Fig. '7 will be utilized in hinging the conventional cabinetfdoors. IFor example,
:as-"is customary, one hinge will tbe securedtoa .bottom corner of a given cabinet dooigand one 'hinge will also be secured to the top corner ofthe ,same door-on the samedoor edge.
By this construction of hinge it will be seen that cabinet doors, or the like, may be hung so that doors mounted on the same horizontal tier may be positioned to have their pivoted edges practically contiguous, and doors of the tier below (or above) may lbe positioned to be very closely adjacent.
We claim:
1. In a hinge comprising a leaf member having an outwardly extending horizontal flat wing portion, a vertically disposed iiange extending at right-angles to the said wing portion, a second flange extending inwardly and upwardly from the lower portion of the said rst mentioned ange and terminating at a point intermediate its ends,
anda projection disposed between the upper ends of the said rst and second flanges, the said projection and the said second ange being disposed onthe'same side of the rst flange.
2. A hinge comprising a leaf member having an outwardly extending horizontal at wing portion, a vertically disposed flange extending Y at right-angles to the said wing portion, a ysecond ange extending inwardly and upwardly from theA lower portion of the said first mentioned flange and terminating at a point intermediate its ends, a projection disposed between the upper ends of the lsaid first `and second flanges, the said projection and said second flange being disposed onthe same side of the said first flange, and a door leaf comprising a horizontally disposed flat portion, a vertical iiangeY extending from thev -inner side of said horizontal flat portion, and a pivotconnecting the outer ends of the said wing and said horizontal flat portion.
