CHARLES M. FRENCH, 0F IBRGOKLYN, NEW YORK.
Hines.
Application filed November 12, 1920. Serial No. 423,611.
1 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Guanine M. FRENCH, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges, oi which the following is a specification.
My inventioni'elates to devices tor protecting the users ot doors and the like against having their hands pinched or clothing caught between the two hinged parts, such as a pairot' doors or a door supported on a door jainb.
one of the objects of my invention is to provide a covering device which will not interfere with the operations of the hinged parts, but which will be such as to cover the openingbetween the ends of the hinged parts to prevent the insertion of anything into such opening where it might be caught it the door or lid were open.
With these and other objects in view, my invention relates to the constructions'and arrangements hereinafter described and more specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
in the drawings, l igure 1 is a plan view ofthe two end portions of a pair of doors, such as are commonly provided for telephone booths, the doors in 1 being in alignment with each other; Fig. 2 is similar to F l, with the doors in their closed position, that is, in their side by side position; Fig. 3 is a rear view of Fig. 2, with the lower part broken away, and Figs. i and 5 are plan views showing a modification with the doors in alignment in Fig. 4, and in side by side position in Fig. 5.
The same reference characters correspond to the same parts in the several views.
For purpose of illustration, 1 have shown my construction as applied to a pair oi doors which may be used to extend across the door space of a telephone booth. The doors D and D are hinged in the ordinary manner by a hinge having a pintle l0 and hinge plates 11 and 12, which are attached, respectively, to the inner ends oi: the doors D and D. In the -form illustrated, the opposits ends of the leaves 11 and 12 are shaped to provide a bearing for the pintles 13 and l lon which are pivotally mounted covering plates 15 and 16, which, in turn, are connected by the pintle 17.
The plates 15 and 16, with their pintles 13, 1d and 17, are preferably made the full length of the door, but it will be understood tl at they may be provided only on so much or the door as it is desired to protect. Sinr ilarly, for many purposes, the pintle 10 will entend the entire length or the door, but obviously it may be less than this, and, in fact, the hinge formed by the leaves 11 and 12 and the pintle 10 may be relatively short and duplicated as many times as desired, all in the usual manner.
in Fig. 2, the position 01 the several parts are shown when the doors D and D are turned on the pintle 10 until they are side by side. It will be noted that the pintle 17, with the portions or the covering plates 15 and 16 which surround it, lie outside of the pintle 10 and the portions of the leaves 1]. and 12 which pass around it. In other woris, the covering leaves are made of suificient length so as not to interfere with the closing of the doors together to any desired degree, and at the same time, the pintle 17 never moves into a straight line drawn through the pintles 13 and 1 1. Gonsequently, when it is desired to move the doors from the position shown in Fig. 2 to that shown in Fig. 1, the plates 15 and 16 will move to that shown in Fig. 1 without restraining the opening of the doors.
For some purposes, it may be desirable to arrange the pintles 13 and 14 so that they will not strike each other when the doors are in the position shown in Fig. 1.
The modification shown in Figs. 4 and 5 will obviate this. As is shown in Figrl, the arrangement is substantially the same as that shown in Fig. 1, except that the leaves 21 and 22 of the hinge with the pintle 20 are made of unequal length, so that the pintles 13 and 1% lie side by side ina direction across the doors, rather than side by side in a direction parallel with the face of the door as shown in Fig. l. T he covering plates 25 and 26 are also of unequal length so as, in the form illustrated, to maintain the pintle 27 in substantial alignment with the other pintles when in the position shown in Fig. 1. As shown in F 5, the operation of the covering plates is the same as that in the form heretofore described, except that the pintle' 27 falls to one side of the pintle 20.
While I have described my device as applied to a pair of doors, each of which is shown as moved around the pintle 10, it will be understood that either of the doors D or D may be fixed so as to act as a support for the other door. It is also obvious that one of the doors, as D for instance,
may have substituted for it the ordinary door jamb, in which case, it would be wider in Fig. 1 than the door D, and it is also ob-- vious that the hinge which supports the door may have its pintle or center of motion located either at the edge or at any other desired position crosswise of the door. covering plates which I have shown are also adapted to be applied to doors which are supported on a pair of pintles so as to swing in either direction.
While I have described my device as it would be applied to doors, it should be understood that it may be applied to any hinged structure, such as box lids or the like, and I desire to have it understood that, when in the appended claims, I refer to doors I use that term merely to describe any hinged structure.
I-claiin;
1. A pair of doors hinged at one edge and arranged to permit them to be moved from a position with the doors in alignment to a position with the doors side by side, and a pair of hinged covering plates pivotally connected to the non-hinged edges of the doors, the combined width of the plates being greater than the distance between the centers of the pivots connecting them to the doors, when the doors are in the side by side position,
2. A pair of doors hinged at one edge and arranged to permit'them to be moved from a position with the doors in alignment to position with the doors side by side, and a pair of hinged covering plates pivotally con- The neoted to the non-hinged edges of the doors, the pintle connecting the plates being located outside of the space between the ends of thedoors when the doors are in alignment, and the plates being of sufiicient width to prevent the three pintle centers of the plates forming a straight line when the tion to the door and the supporting memher being adapted to prevent the three pivotal centers of the covering plates forming a straight line with the pivotal center between the covering plates in the middle when the door is turned on its hinge through any desired are.
4. A door hinged at one edge to a supporting member and covering plates hinged together and having their non-hinged edges pivotally connected to the non-hinged edge of the door and the supporting member respectively, the covering plates extending outside of the space between the end of the door and the supporting member when said end is nearest the supporting member and the plates being long enough to permit the door to be moved to any desired position before the centers of the connections of the plates to the door and the member and to each other form a straight line.
