HINGE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 629,396, dated July 2,5, 1899. l Application filed July ll, 1898. Serial No. 685,610. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it knownv that I, WILLIAM ScHUoH, a citizen of ythe United States, residing at New York city,`in the State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges, of which the following is a speci- `fication. A

My inventionrelates to hinges..

I will describe a hinge embodying my invention and then point out the novel features therein in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l represents a `front view of a door, part being broken away to expose a hinge. Fig. is a view showing the door half open. Fig.,3 is a detail sectional view taken Von the line 3 3 of Fig. l. ll`ig..4C is a detail sectional View on the line 4- t of Fig. l. Fig. 5 is a similar section, the hinge being partially extended. Fig. 6 is a sec tion showing the( hinge entirely extended. Fig. 7 is a detailed sectional view on the line 7 '7 of Figx. Fig. 8 is an end elevation, on a larger scale, of the, hinge,` showing part of door on frame. fication. Fig. 10 is a detail sectional viewof Fig. 9.

Similar letters of reference refer to corresponding parts throughout the several figures.

A represents a door, B the frame, and C the hinges.

The hinge C comprises the parts ct, e, and

l' ing connection or engagementwith each other and can telescope, thereby enabling the hinge when the door is closed to be confined in a small space and berout of view, as will be seen from the several ligures. The fastening-plates a and e are secured, respectively, over recessed portions h and t' in the frame and door. The plate o. is Aformed with a longitudinal opening 71.' and a lon gitudinally-disposed and laterally-proj ecting portion mvhich is preferably curved. The plate e is also provided with a longitudinal opening t" and a longitudinally-disposed and laterally-curved projection c and in addition .overhanging flanges C and c2, which embrace flanges f and f2 on the connecting plate or sleeve d. 'lhis plate or sleeve is provided with overhanging ilanges d d, which embrace the 'edges of the projection b. Between the ad- Fig. 9 is a top view of a modijacent faces of these several parts balls may be provided to lessen the friction between these faces when the parts are moved.

The several parts of the hinge are assembled as shown, and when the door is in closed position the hinge is as shown in Figs. 3 and 4f.

In opening the door the parts c will slide out of the .recess h until the pin j, which is part of the plate or sleeve d, engages'with the shoulder j' of the projection c, holding the sleeve d and permitting it to slide over the projection b until the door is open. The pin 0, which is part of slee-ve d,-and shoulder o', which is part of portion b, prevent the sleeve d from sliding otf the projection h. The projections b and c, as well as the plate or sleeve d, have one common center, so that the edges of the door and frame will make a good iitfwhen the door is closed.

lnllligs. 9 and 10, which show a modification, the projections are shown as plates lc and L, slidingin curved grooves of the sleeve fm". The operation is the same as above described. l

Having fully described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a hinge, the combination of a fastening-plate havin g a longitudinal opening and a' longitudinally-disposed and laterally-curved projection, a sleeve sliding thereon and a second longitudinally disposed and laterallycurved projection embracing the former, the latter being part of a fastening-plate having a longitudinal opening, substantially as described. 4

2. The combination of a door-frame provided with a recess, a door having a recess oppositethe recess in the frame and a hinge between said door and frame said hinge comprising fastening-plates secured to the frame and door and each having a longitudinallydisposed and laterally-curved projection extending therefrom and a longitudinal opening, and a longitudinally-disposed curved l sleeve having a slidingengagementwith said projections, said projections and sleeve being adapted when the door is closed to pass through the longitudinal openings in the plates and engage the recesses in the door and frame, substantially as described.
