PIVOT HINGE ASSEMBLY Filed Feb. 21. 1968 2R llv l/E/VTORS. JAMES E. ASHW TH 8 AUGUST L. BA 2 A f rorney United States Patent 3,488,792 PIVOT HINGE ASSEMBLY James E. Ashworth, Moraga, Calif., and August L. Bartz, Bernardsville, N.J., assignors to United States Steel Corporation, a corporation of Delaware Filed Feb. 21, 1968, Ser. No. 707,253 Int. Cl. E0511 7/00, 15/28, 15/54 US. Cl. 16-861 8 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A pivot hinge assembly for gates including two brackets each having two holes therein and fastened to a post in spaced apart relationship, a filler block having two holes therein and fastened to each bracket on the side toward the other bracket, and a flange having one hole therein connecting each filler block to the top and bottom of the gate, respectively. When used to swing the gate 90 to each side of the gate opening, each filler block is connected to its associated bracket by means of a bolt having a square shank passing through square holes in the filler block and bracket, and the gate is pivotally connected to the filler blocks and brackets by round bolts passing through aligned holes therein. When used to swing the gate 180 to one side of the gate opening each filler block is pivotally connected to its associated bracket by means of a round bolt passing through aligned holes therein, and the gate is non-rotatably connected to each filler block by means of a bolt having a square shank passing through square holes in the filler block and flange.
This invention relates to a hinge assembly and more particularly to hinges for pivotally connecting a gate to a fence post. Many such hinges are in use for limiting swing of the gate 90 to either side of the gate opening on to a 10 swing to one side of the opening. However, we do not know of any hinge which can be readily adapted to enable the gate to swing either 90 to each side or 180 to one side of the opening. Thus, it is necessary to keep at least two types of hinges in stock. As used hereinafter the term gate is used to indicate either door, gate or similar closure.
It is therefore an object of our invention to provide a hinge assembly made up of a few inexpensive parts which can be readily assembled in two different ways to enable the gate to swing either 90 to each side of the gate opening or 180 to one side of the gate opening.
This and other objects will be more apparent after 'referring to the following specification and attached drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is an elevation showing a gate attached to a fence post with the parts of the hinge arranged to permit swinging of the gate 90 to each side of the gate opening;
FIGURE 2 is a top plan view of the gate of FIG- URE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of a bracket forming part of the hinge assembly;
FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of a filler block forming part of the hinge assembly;
FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of a special bolt forming part of the hinge assembly;
FIGURE 6 is an elevation showing a gate attached to a fence post with the parts of the hinge arranged to permit swinging of the gate 180 to one side of the gate opening; and
FIGURE 7 is a top plan view of the gate of FIGURE 6.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, reference numeral 2R indicates an angle shaped support bracket having a circular hole 4 and a square hole 6 through leg 3,488,792 Patented Jan. 13, 1970 "ice 8 thereof. A filler block 10 is provided with a square hole 12 at one end having a countersunk portion 14. A similar square hole 16 is provided at the other end of block .10 but with its countersunk portion 18 on the opposite side from countersunk 14. As shown in FIGURES 1 and 6, top and bottom angles 20, each having a square hole 22 through its horizontal leg or flange 24 support a gate 26. The material for one set of hinges includes one bracket 2R, one bracket 2L, which is the same as bracket 2R except of opposite hand, two filler blocks 10, two angles 20, two washers 28, two locking bolts 30, each having a countersunk head 32 and a square shank portion 34 adjacent the head 32, two center bolts 36, and four nuts 38. It will be seen that the sides of the square holes are of the same length as the diameter of the circular holes. In assembling the hinge and gate for a swing to either side of the fence opening as shown in FIGURES 1 and 2, bracket 2R is secured in any suitable manner to face 40 of a fence post 42 such as disclosed in our copending application Ser. No. 568,953, filed July 29, 1966, now Patent No. 3,370,836 with horizontal leg 8 downwardly. In a similar manner, bracket 2L is secured to face 40 adjacent its lower end with horizontal leg 8 upwardly and the holes 4 and 6 of the brackets in vertical alignment. A filler block 10 is positioned against the bottom of leg 8 of bracket 2R and a bolt 30 is passed upwardly through aligned holes 12 and 6 as shown in FIG- URE 1 and a nut 38 threaded on the top end thereof. In like manner a second filler block 10 is positioned on top of leg 6 of bracket 2L and a second bolt 30 is passed downwardly through aligned holes 16 anda nut 38 threaded thereon. It will be seen that the square shanks 34 of nuts 30 prevent turning of blocks 10 with respect to brackets 2R and 2L. The distance between the top face of top angle 20 and the bottom face of the bottom angle 20 of gate 26 is slightly less than the distance between the bottom face of the top block 10 and the top face of the lower block 10. A center bolt 36 is passed through holes 22, 4 and 16 of the top assembly with a washer 28 between the angle 20 and the filler 10. In like manner a bolt 36 is passed through holes 22, 12 and 4 of the bottom assembly with a washer 28 between the block 10 and angle 20. Nuts 38 are screwed on each of the bolts 36 to complete the assembly. It will be seen that the fence 26 can swing 90 to either side of the fence opening to either the full line position or the broken line position shown in FIGURE 2. In this arrangement the hole 22 can be round instead of noncircular, the hole in filler block 10 in alignment with hole 22 also round and not countersunk, and/or the brackets 2R and 2L made shorter so as to omit the hole 4. However, for greater rigidity, it is preferred to include the hole 4. 1 In assembling the hinge for a swing on a selected side of the opening as shown in FIGURES 6 and 7, a bracket 2L is secured to face 40 of the post 42 adjacent its top and a bracket 2R secured to the face 40 adjacent its bottom with the horizontal leg of the top bracket downwardly and the horizontal leg of the bottom bracket upwardly. A filler plate 10 is pivotally secured to bracket 2L by passing a center bolt 36 through holes 4 and 12 with a washer 28 between bracket 2L and filler 10. In like manner, a center bolt 36 is passed through openings 4 and 16 with a washer between bracket 2R and filler 10. Nuts 38 are threaded on the bolts 36 to hold the parts in place. Gate 26 is then positioned between the filler plates 10 with its angles 20 hearing against the lower face of top filler plate 10 and the upper face of lower filler plate 10. A bolt 30 is passed downwardly through hole 16 f top filler plate 10 and hole 22 in angle 20 and a nut 38 threaded on the lower end thereof. In like manner a bolt 30 is passed upwardly through opening 12 of lower filler plate 10 and hole 22 in angle 20. Nuts 38 are threaded on the bolts 30 to complete the assembly. It will be "seen that the gate 26 cannot turn with respect to the filler plates because the square shank 34 of bolts 30 engages the square holes of the angles and filler plates 10. However, the gate swings from its closed position shown in solid lines in FIGURE 7 around bolts 36 for an angle of 180 to the broken line position shown. In this arrangement the hole in filler block 10 in alignment with hole 4 can be round and not countersunk. However, the specific structure shown is preferred to permit using a lesser number of different parts for the alternate arrangements.
While two embodiments of our invention have been shown and described, it will be apparent that other adaptations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the following claims.
