HINGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,150, dated July 18, 1882. Application filed July 6, 1881. (Model) To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES E. GowEN, of Peabody, in the county of Marion and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had 16 to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in hinges, the object being to provide an article of the character designated which will combine simplicity, durability, and strength, and which may be manufactured and supplied to the trade at a greatly-reduced cost.
With these objects in view my invention consists in certain details of construction and 20 combinations of parts, as will be herein described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a hinge constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 repre- 2 5 sents in elevation both of the hinge-sections as they appear when operated, and Fig. 3 is a view of the blanks from which the hinge sections are struck up.
Each of the hinge-sections consists in two leaves or straps bent at right angles to each other, and having one or more knuckles formed integral with and between them, and located at the point of their convergence. The sectionAconsists of twoleaves, b, bent atrightangles with each other, and having two knuckles,
0, formed integral with and between them, and
on their opposite edges, and adapted to receive the knuckle d, formed between the leaves 6 of the hingesection B. The sections are secured together byapintle, O, which is passed through the knuckles in the usual manner.
The blanks from which the sections A and B are formed are designated by D and E.
Blank D is prepared for forming by the re- 5 moval of a rectangular piece, f, from its center, while to prepare blank E to be struck up rectangular slots g are made in its opposite edges. Thediameterandwidthoftheknuckles formed between the two leaves of each section will depend upon the length and breadth of the said rectangular piecesf and slots g, respectively. After the blanks are prepared, as above, by the removal of pieces f and the for mation of slots 9 the knuckles are formed or struck up. This operation consists in bending their ends at right angles with each other, and
in imparting a circular form to the strip or strips of metal formed midway of the length of the blanks by the removal of a rectangular piece from blank D and the formation of rect- 6o angular slots in blank E, as aforesaid. Both the preparation for and the actual forming of the blanks will probably be done by dies par ticularly designed for this work. It is probable that in most instances the leaves of each hinge-section will be unequal in length, so that one leaf may be attached to the side of and one to the edge of the object to which it is designed to secure the hinge. The number of knuckles to each hinge-section may be varied as desired, and will depend on the size of the hinge and the use to which it is to be placed. The shape and finish of the leaves will also depend upon the same conditions.
I am aware that it is not new to make a hinge of two blanks, the ends of the blanks being slitted to form three fingers, one of said fingers on one blank being formed into a knuckle and the other two bent at-right angles to the body of the blank or main leaf to constitute a supplemental leaf while two of the fingers of the other blank are formed into knuckles and one of the fingers is bent at right angles to form a supplemental leaf. In this construction of hinge the supplemental 8 leaves'are narrow and of little strength, and also the knuckles, being formed by the ends of the fingers, are liable to become bent and allow the leaves to separate, especially if the stock of which the hinge is made is light and thin.
I am also aware that hinges have been made of three blanks and a knuckle formed on each blank. In this latter construction the blanks are necessarily narrow, and produce leaves of such width that they do nothave the desired 5 bearing-surface to insure a durable and lasting attachment.
I make no claim to the forms of construction hereinbefore set forth. My improved hinge is made of two blanks, each having two wide 10o 1eaves which afford a broad bearing surface, I ing arectangular slot, f, to form an upper and and thereby enable the hinge to be firmly sealowerstrip which are benttoform knuckles 00, cured in place, and as the knuckles are formed and to bring the leaves A b at right angles to 15 at thejuncture of the two leaves all spreading each other, and a pintle G, substantially as or opening of the knuckles -is prevented. set forth.
*Havingfully described myinvention, what I In testimony that I claim the foregoing I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters lnwe hereunto set my hand this 27th day of Patent, is- June, 1881.
