' .of which thefollowing' 1s a specification.

vertical well-ss horizontal hin e con-' nectionso that :1- combined drop and swing ldoor'isihsd. The invention comprises a novel hinge I construction to be hereinafterdescribed and claimed, reference being had to the drawing -heretoennexed, in which- I 'on of the door-in 'closed'po'sition. 'Fig. 2 is an elevation show- I 'i'n'g th'e doorswungopensidewise. Fig.3 shows the-gdoor swung open downwardly or Fi 4-is a. section on the line 14 of 1. Fig.5 is a section on the line 5-"5-o' fFig. 1'. t t d a in s frame cf e' 'stove,. 'ov'en, or the like. The door 11"is formed at its bottom corners with win drop position;

, sidewisje andhoriz'onte'lly presented pintles] '12, and l3; :res pectively, and stone of the top corners of the-dooris'e'n outwardly and verticallypresented pintle 14. T The'b eri'ng-ior'the pintl'e 121s a, bracket 15 the feceof which is a recess 16 to re ceives'aid pintle. The pintle lS works in an cqiening formed. in the head 17 of a stem 18 which 1s swiveled' vertically in 'a bracket 19 on-v the door-frame. The} hearing for the pintle =14 isfa bracket 20. having in its time s.

' jre'cess2 1to receive 'seidpintle.

' f 1 fTheentrence to the recess 16 1s contriicted,

and the thc idt of'its short 'side'being slightly less,

vand the width of its long side being greater than. that-"of. said entrance. The .pintle' g therefore cannot-{pass out of the recess until itsfshort side is bifpught'in line with the en-; tranceLend-the parts are "so arrangedxthat Q they ess'ume this positiononly when the door isf. oiosedfl Y By reason of this the'pintle is retained in therecess when the, door is f "5.0

handle 23 at the side. On the door-frame are stops 2%. on whichthe door is supported when it is open in drop position. v

In the recess 16 is e. spring-finger 25 which en%eges the pintle-12 so that it will work tig it in the recess'when door is being opened to drop position whereby it is prevented from. falling heavilyr line with the entrance to the recess 16 so that it may pass out of the same. b The door then swings open, the pintle 14' turning inthe recess 21, andthe stern 18 turning in its silg r porting-bracket 19. Toopen the 'doort 10 denotes the door drop position the door is pulled forwardly by the handle 22 to remove the piritle-Mfrom pintles 12 and 13, the latter turning head 17 of the stem 18. Q

The bearing-brackets of the door ciin be When the door is. closed its weight binds the intle '14 against The hinge construction herein described I the recess 21. i The door then swings on the in 1? 1 is intended principally for the doors of stoves,

ovens or the'like, but it can also be 'agplied to other structuresin which a combine and swing door is desirable.

I claim?- I 1. The combination-with a door-frame; of a. door having a horizontal and a. vertical hingeconnect1on therewith. 2. The combination with a door-frame; of a door having pintles at itslower corners and e, pintle stone of its 11 per corners, a. swiveled bearing for one 0ft e lower pintles and a bearing for the other pintles in which they are reinoveblysupported.
