HINGES FOR DOOR S, WINDOWS AND OTHER APPLIANCES Filed March 9, i955 United States Patent HINGES FOR DOORS, WINDOWS, AND OTHER APPLIANCES Leopold Honnay, Vaux sous Chevremont, near Liege, Belgium, assignor to Joseph Ghysebrechts and Paul Duvivier, Hasselt, Belgium Application March 9, 1955, Serial No. 493,204
Claims priority, application Belgium March 12, 1954 3 Claims. (Cl. 16-152) The present invention relates to hinges for doors and windows, and more particularly to building doors which, as far they are opening, are simultaneously risen. It is known that the use of hinges of this art prevents the door from engaging the ground or the floor and facilitates the placing of a floor covering.
According to the invention, the hinge is especially characterized in that it comprises two identical members assembled together around a central pin, each member being formed by a double plate each integral with successive spiral whorls, and a horizontal eyelet-hole constituting a sleeve part, said members being mounted in the reverse order around the central pin so as to alternate their spiral whorls.
A form of construction of the hinge forming the object of this invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a view of the hinge when closing;
Figure 2 is a corresponding view of the hinge when open;
Figure 3 shows a plan view of the same; and
Figure 4 is a side elevation showing a plate having apertures formed therein and ready for folding to form the hinge elements of Figures 1-3, inclusive.
The hinge according to the invention is formed by means of two members a and b each comprising a double plate a a and b b riveted or welded together, and provided with usual holes for the fixing screws, respectively to the door and to the door casing by way of example. These double plates are integral with each of the successive spiral whorls c c and with a horizontal eyelet-hole d. The spiral whorls and the eyelet-holes in form of a ring or sleeve are dimensioned according to the diameter of the central pin e of the hinge.
It must be noted that the members a and b with their respective spiral whorls are economically obtained by stamping.
Figure 4 illustrates a unitary plate prior to the folding or bending operation. Apertures F and F are formed in a diagonal sense and parallel one to another, whereby upon folding the plate back upon itself so that a and a form the layers of the planar member as seen ice in Figures 1-3, inclusive, the elements C are fashioned into a series of pin receiving loops having their respective upper and lower boundary planes forming an acute angle with the edge of the planar member b.
As the two members a and b are mounted on the central pin e, in a reverse order with regard to each other, the successive spiral whorls are continuously sliding upon one another, the member a rising with the door, as shown from Figure 2 of the drawing. As each member a and b comprises an eyelet-hole d, the central pin e is firmly held, thus giving to the door a characteristic lateral stability.
The dimensions and forms of this new hinge are to be obviously modified according to the desired purposes.
What I claim is:
1. A hinge comprising in combination a plurality of members, and a pin to pivotally connect the said members, each said member comprising a unitary folded structure having a laminar planar portion and a channel portion, said last named portion consisting of a series of concentric whorls formed from one edge of said laminar portion, the upper and lower surfaces of the said whorls being mutually parallel and forming an acute angle with the edge throughout the major portion of their extent, said whorls being spaced to permit interleaving thereof to form a pin receiving channel.
2. A hinge for use with doors and windows comprising two members interfitted along one respective edge thereof, a pin to pivotally connect the members, each said member comprising a flat portion formed as one layer over another and a tubular portion, the said member portions having a common straight line of intersection, the said tubular portion consisting of an interrupted series of tongues each forming an acute angle with the line of intersection between the portions, the said members being fitted at their respective tubular portions to fashion an elongated pin receiving cavity.
3. A hinge for doors and windows, more particularly for building doors, comprising a pair of interfitted members and a pin to pivotally connect the said members, each said member having a plane doubled portion and a tubular portion, the said tubular portion comprising an aligned series of spaced elements the upper and lower boundary planes thereof forming an angle with the line of junction with the doubled portion, the said members being-interfitted at their tubular portions whereby the respective elements successively interleave to form a continuous channel for the said pin.
