IMPROVEMENTS IN HINGES FOR CHAPLET AND LIKE CASES to be as follows:
Year: 1885

page_text: I, CHARLES RYAN, of 87 Brockley Street, New Cross, in the county of Surrey,
Zinc Worker do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN HINGES FOR CHAPLET AND LIKE CASES to be as follows:-
"
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of hinges for glass
cases for containing memorial chaplets, and other like cases.
Hitherto it has been the practice to provide the hinge of the case itself with a
fixed hinge pin so that the tray of the case was permanently hinged to the glass
cover thereof; great inconvenience has been experienced from this construction as
when required to be packed for transportation the cases except when varying
considerably in size could only be packed separately thereby occupying much space
and consequently involving great expense for transport; further the hinges have
generally been made in three separate parts, videlicet, that for receiving the
suspending ring, that for receiving the legs or supports and lastly the hinge of the
case itself; it was necessary to solder each of these parts separately to the case
and the parts were liable to become detached therefrom."
By my improvements these defects are obviated and I am enabled to produce the
hinges at a much lower cost than hitherto.
In carrying out my invention I construct the hinge for the case itself in one
piece with the parts forming the hinges for the suspending ring and the legs and I
form the same from sheet metal stamped or otherwise made to the required shape;
I provide the hinge pin with a projecting head and make it removeable from the
binge of the case itself; to the said head I attach a chain or the like connected to
the case to prevent the hinge pin from being lost when removed from the hinge;
the hinge so constructed is fixed to the case by means of solder, rivets, or the like.
By removing the hinge pin it will be obvious that when it is required to transport
a number of the cases of the same size or thereabouts the trays or bottoms of the
cases can be readily detached from the glasses or covers thereof and the trays or
bottoms being placed one upon the other, and the glasses or covers one within the
other they can be packed into a very small space and the bottoms and covers can
be as quickly hinged together again when required for sale or use.

page_text: I CHARLES RYAN of 87 Brockley Street, New Cross, in the county of Surrey,
Zinc Worker do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN HINGES FOR CHAPLET AND LIKE CASES" and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of hinges for glass cases
for containing memorial chaplets, and other like cases.
Hitherto it has been the practice to provide the hinge of the case itself with a
fixed hinge pin so that the tray of the case was permanently hinged to the glass
cover thereof; great inconvenience has been experienced from this construction as
when required to be packed for transportation the cases except when varying
considerably in size could only be packed separately thereby occupying much space
and consequently involving great expense for transport; further the hinges have
generally been made in three separate parts, videlicet that for receiving the
suspending ring, that for receiving the legs or supports and lastly the hinge of the
case itself; it was necessary to solder each of these parts separately to the case and
the parts were liable to become detached therefrom.
By my improvements these defects are obviated and I am enabled to produce the
hinges at a much lower cost than hitherto.
In carrying out my invention I construct the hinge for the case itself in one
piece with the parts forming the hinges for the suspending ring and the legs and
I form the same from sheet metal stamped or otherwise made to the required shape;
I provide the hinge pin with a projecting head or eye and make it removeable
from the hinge of the case itself; to the said eye I attach a chain or the like
connected to the plate of the hinge or to the case to prevent the hinge pin from
being lost when removed from the hinge; the hinge so constructed is fixed to the
case by means of solder, rivets or the like.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will proceed to describe
the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which figures 1 and 2 are
elevations of a hinge for chaplet and like cases constructed according to my
invention; figures 3 and 4 are a longitudinal section and a back elevation
respectively of an ordinary chaplet case with my improved hinge applied thereto.
Similar letters in all the figures represent similar parts.
a, is the part of the hinge for receiving the usual suspending ring b, and c, is
the part for receiving the usual supporting legs d; the said parts are formed in one
piece with the hinge e of the case A, B from sheet metal stainped or otherwise made
to the required shape as shown; f is the hinge pin which is provided with a
projecting head g, and is removeable from the hinge e of the case A, B; h is the
chain attached to the eye g, of the hinge pin f, and to the plate of the hinge at i,
to prevent the hinge pin from being lost when removed; figures 3 and 4 shew
my improved hinge applied with the ordinary suspending ring c, and legs d, to the
case A, B,
The hinge can be fixed to the case by means of rivets j, as shewn in figure 4,
passed through rivet holes k, figures 1 and 2 or by solder or other suitable means.

page_text: By this construction of hinge it will be obvious that when it is required to
transport a number of the cases of the same size or thereabouts by removing the
hinge pins f, the trays or bottoms B of the cases can be readily detached from the
glasses or covers A thereof and the trays or bottoms B being placed one upon
the other, and the glasses or covers A one within the other, they can be packed
into a very small space and the bottoms and covers can be as quickly hinged
together again when required for sale or use; further, the hinges for the suspending
ring c, and legs d, being in one piece with the hinge e, for the case itself they cannot
become detached from the hinge e, and the liability to come unrivetted, unsoldered
or otherwise detached from the case is greatly lessened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The use with chaplet or like cases of a hinge constructed substantially as
herein described whereby the tray of the case can be readily detached from the
cover thereof substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. Constructing the hinges for the suspending ring and the legs of chaplet and
like cases in one piece with the parts forming the hinge for the case itself
substantially as and for the purposes described.
3. The improved hinge for chaplet and like cases herein before described and
represented in the accompanying drawing.
