WATER-CLOSET-SEAT HINGE.
SPECIFICATIONformng part of Letters Patent No. 538,061, dated April 23, 1895.
Application led December 24, 1894' Serial No. 532,829. (No model.)
To all whom, it' may concern.-
Be it known that I, THOMAS C. BEAUMONT, a cit-izen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Closet-Seat Hinges, ofy which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to means for eiecting hinge connections between a water-closet Y thereof to the wooden seat.
A. further object is to provide a construction for hinging the lid or cover to the seat in such manner that it may be readily detached therefrom.
Figure l of the accompanying drawings is a side elevationV of a water closet bowl with its seat, lid and hinge constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan thereof, the lid and seat being thrown back to a horizontal position. Fig. 3 is a similar plan, the seat p being turned down on the bowl and the lid being thrown back. Fig. t is a fragmentary plan on a larger scale, showing the seat and lid in the same position as in Fig. 3, but with their hinges separated, the hinge members being disconnected and partly in section to show the construction. Fig. 'is a side ele'- vation of one of the hinge brackets showing the lug on the bowl partly in section. Figs.,6 and 7 are sectional views through the lid hinge showing it the one in the operative condition and the other disconnected. Fig. 8 is a side elevation of a modification showing the adaptation of my invention to a wall bracket.
Let A designate the water-closet bowl of molded earthenware, and of any of the many well known constructions of such bowls, differing from ordinary bowls only in one respect, namely, that two ears a a are formed in the earthenware extending rearwardly and laterally from the upper part or rim of the bowl in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 2. These ears have each a vertical perforation, as shown in Fig. 5. In this perforation is placed the shank b of one of the seat hinge brackets B, whereby this bracket is connected to the bowl, being firmly clamped thereto by a nut c screwed on the shank.
Let O designate the seat, and D the lid. TheA seat C is of wood as usual, and is formed at its rear side with two projections d d having between them a recess e. In case, however, a cover or lid is not used, this recess e and the lid hinges will be omitted. The seat hinge consists of two members, one of which is the bracket B already referred to, and `the other is a pintle F.. The two pintles E E are fastened inline with each other against the outer` sides of the projections d d. For fastening each pintle, I employ a long screwf passing axially through 'it and screwing into the wood seat, as shown at the rightin Fig. 4. .To compel the pintle to turn with the seat, itis coni structed with spurs g g which are driven into holes inthe wood. To cover the end of the pintle and conceal the head of the screwf and make a neat and ornamental finish, a small cap h is screwed upon the threaded outer end of the pintle. The pintle passes through an eye i formed on the hinge bracket B. v This eye'is provided with some sort of frictional device for engaging the pintleE ina manner to generate sufficient friction to prevent the free dropping or falling of the seat upon the earthenware bowl in case it is lifted and let go. The friction should be sufficient just to cause the seat to remain standing at any angie at which it is put, and require a very slight `pressureof the hand to move it. The simplest IOO at least one of the brackets B, and preferably 0n both as shown. In assembling the parts of the hinge, it is preferable to connect the pintles first to the seat, then mount the brackets on the pintles, and then fix the brackets in place on the bowl.
Fig. 8 shows how my frictional hinge construction is to be applied to a hinge having a wall bracket attached to the wall back of the closet. B designates such a bracket, which is of well understood construction, not differing from similar brackets already in use eX- cept that the eye c" is opened and formed with lugs, and has a clamping screwj' for contract ing it to frictionally engage the pintle of the seat hinge.
For hinging the lid D to the seat, I provide the latter with two pintles F F attached to it in line with each other in the recess e. The attachment of the pintles F is eected in the same manner as the pintles E, namely, by passing a wood screw axially through the pintle F and screwing it into the wood projection d of the seat, this wood screw being lettered k. To keep the pintle F from turning, it is provided with spurs l which enter the wood. To cover and inclose the pintle F, a cap, sleeve or false pintle G is screwed on over it. To the lid D are fastened by screws 01 otherwise, two hinge leaves I-I H having each a mutilated eye m adapted to engage and turn upon the exterior face of the cylindrical sleeve or false pintle G. The bore or opening in the eye m makes a close working tit with this false pintle G. At one side the eye m is cut away forming a slot or openingp which is narrower than the diameter of the false pintle G, but which islarger than the exterior diameter ofthe pintlc F. By unscrewing the false pintles G G, the eyes m m are left in engagement with the pintles F F, whereupon by pulling oi the lid inthe manner shown in Fig. 7, the eyes are disconnected from the pintles F F, the latter passing out ofthe eyes through the openings p. These openings p are in a position where they cannot be seen when the closet is set up, either when the lid is turned down upon the seat, or when itis thrown up to a vrtical position against the wall.
Fig. 6 shows the false pintle G in place filling the space between the pintle F and the eye m, so that the hinge cannot be disconnected until this false pintle has been first removed.
I claim as my invention the following defined novel features, substantially as hereinbefore specified, namely:
1. A water closet seat-hinge consisting of a bracket B having an eye t' and clamping screw j combined with a pintle E having a spur entering the seat, a screw f passing axially through said pintle and screwing into the seat, and a cap 71, screwing on the end of the pintle against said eye.
2. A hinge for the lid ofthe water closet seat consisting ot a pintle, a sleeve or false bottom fitting over it, constituting one hinge-inember, and the other hinge-member formed with an eye fitting over and turning on said falsepintle, and having an opening large enough to pass over the pintle, but smaller than the diameter ofthe false pintle, so that by removing the false pintle the eye may be withdrawn laterally from the pintle.
3. A hinge for the lid of a water closet scat consisting of a pintle F, means for fastening it to the seat, a sleeve or false pintle G screwing over said pintle, a hinge leaf II having an eye m fitting over said false-pin tle, and formed with an openingp large enough to pass over the pintle.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my naine in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
THOMAS C. BEAUMONT.
