HINGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,247, dated July 2, 1889. Application filed April 8, 1889. Serial No. 306,383. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE B. \VEBB, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inllinges, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to hinges, and is designed particularly for use in type-writer cabinets, the object of the invention being to produce a hinge that shall not project up above the top or lid to which it is applied.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional View showing the lid or cover closed; Fig. 2, a similar view showing the parts in a different position; Fig. 3, a perspective view of one of the hinges; Figs. 4 and 5, views illustrating a modification in the manner of applying the hinge; and Figs. 6, 7, 8, and 9, views illustrating a slight modification in the construction of the hinge itself.
Now while the hinge is designed particularly for use in connection with the divided lid of a type-writer cabinet, I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to such use, as it is obvious that the hinge which constitutes the invention is susceptible of application to various other articles.
A and B indicate in the present instance the two parts of a divided lid or cover used in a type-writer cabinet, the part A being designed to be lifted and folded back upon the top of part B, which latter I shall term, forconvenience, the fixed part of the lid. In the front edge of part B is formed a socket or recess 0, in which the greater part of the hinge is seated, the top wall of the socket or recesshiding the hinge from view.
The hinge comprises three leaves D, E, and and F, the middle leaf E being pivotally connected, as at a and Z), to the leaves D and F, which are screwed or otherwise rigidly secured, respectively, to the parts A and B. Leaf E comprises two arms 0 and (Z, arranged at an angle to each other, as shown in all the figures, so that when the lid or cover A is lifted the leaf may rise or swing upward from pivot 12 relatively to the leaf F, which it could not do were it not so bent, as it would strike (in the construction shown in Fig. 1) against the top wall of the recess. Leaf D is secured to the edge of the lid A, with the barrel of the hinge just on a level with or slightly. below the top of the parts A B, while the leaf F is secured, in the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, to the inner rear wall of the recess 0.
A spring G, either flat or coiled, is placed beneath the leaf E, so that as the outer end of the lid A is lifted the spring throws the outer end of leaf E upward, carrying the barrel of the leaf D up above the top of the fixed part B. The movable part Aof the lid, in thus being raised, swings not only from the pivot a, but also from the pivot b, so that after a slight elevation of thelid the pivot a will be elevated far enough above the top of B as to render any rubbing of the parts A and B along their meeting edges impossible, and
permit the part A to fold back upon the part B.
Instead of securing the leaf F to the back wall of the recess, it may form, in effect, the top wall of the latter, as represented in Figs.
4 and 5, the intermediate leaf E in this arrangement being narrower than the leaves D and F. The leaf F will be set flush with the top of the fixed part B, and will be secured in place by screws countersunk into the leaf.
It is found that there is a tendency of the spring to keep the end of the leaf E up above the top of the lid, and to overcome this objeetion I provide the leaf D with an arm H, which is adapted to engage with the top wall of the recess, or with the leaf F when the latter is applied to the top of the part B. As shown in Figs. 6, '7, and 8, it will be necessary to cut an opening in the leaf E to receive this arm, which, being secured to the leaf D,
works back and forth through the opening as the part A is swung upon the pivot a. When closing the part A, as represented in Fig. 7, the end of the arm engages with the under side of leaf F, and prevents the part A from further swinging upon pivot Ct, except as the 5 depression of the leaf E, as indicated by dotted lines, allows the arm II to slide along the under side of the leaf F. Of course, if the leaf E were rigid, the part A could not be swung down into position at all, as thearm, IOO
striking against the under side of plate or leaf F, would limit. its movement. The length and form of the arm II are such that when the parts A and B are in their normal position, Fig. 6, the arm will bear against the under side of the leaf F and prevent the spring from lifting the leaf E until the part A is swung upward, so as to carry the arm from out of contact with the leaf or plate F.
It is obvious that the spring and one of the leaves may be omitted, as represented in Fig. 9. Upon reference to this figure, it will be seen that the leaf F and the spring are dispensed with, and the leaf E attached at its inner end to the part B, the leaf E being itself made elastic, so that its outer end may rise up above the top of the part B.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a hinge, the combination, with the leaves D and F, of the intermediate leaf E, pivotally connected at its ends to the leaves D and F, and comprising the arms (I and a, set at an angle to each other 2. In combination with the parts A and B, the latter provided with a socket, as C, a hinge comprising the three leaves D, E, and F, the leaves D and F being secured, respectively, to the parts A and I and a spring seated in the socket and bearing against the under side of the leaf E.
3. In combination with the parts A and B, the latter having a socket (J, a hinge comprising three leaves D E F, the leaves I) F secured, respectively, to A and 13, a spring beneath leaf E, and an arm 11, carried by leaf D, to engage with the top wall of the socket.
4c. In combination with a fixed part 13 and a movable part- A, a hinge comprising three leaves, one of the leaves being secured to part A and another to part B, and a spring bearing against the under side of the connecting-leaf and tending to throw its outer end upward above the top of part 13.
5. In combination with parts A and B, the bent leaf E, secured to part B and having its outer end free to rise above the top of the latter, and a leaf D, secured to part A and pivotally secured to the outer end of leaf E.
In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE 1 WEBB.
