Improvements in the Means of Affixing Doors and Gates to Brick,.
Stone, and like Walls.
I, WILLIAM BOYDELL, of Brown Street Ironworks, Leigh, in the County of
Lancaster, Ironfounder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a means for affixing doors and gates to brick and
stone walls. The object of this invention is to facilitate and reduce the cost of
the erection of said doors and gates by dispensing with the necessity of fitting

page_text: the gudgeons or fixings upon which a door or gate is hung, and also the door
staples, into stone blocks which for this purpose it is the usual practice to build
into the wall, and in which holes are required to be cut and the gudgeons and
staples secured therein with lead.
I attain this object by the means hereinafter described and as shown in the
drawings that were left with the Provisional Specification in which
Fig. 1 is a plan, and Fig. 2 an edge view of my improved gudgeon or
fixing, and
Fig. 3 is a plan representing the means for securing a bolt.
In this invention I construct the gudgeon a upon which the door bands rest
with a tail piece or metallic frame such as 6 either of the form shown in Fig. 1,
or of other preferred form. In like manner I construct the hasp for receiving
the bolt when the door or gate is fastened, with a tail piece or frame, or I fit
a sliding bolt into a slide that is formed with a tail piece or metallic
frame of like construction, as e Fig. 3, or 1 form any equivalent fastener with
a tail piece such as is herein before described for building into a wall or
structure.
In applying my invention the gudgeon is fixed to the wall in the position
required, by building into the wall the tail piece or frame b. In like manner the
hasp into which the bolt slides is also secured to the wall by building the tail piece
into the brickwork or stonework during construction, or the ordinary position of
the bolt or equivalent fastening and the hasp may be reversed, and said fastening
fixed to the wall by the tail piece or frame e being built therein, the hasp being
fitted to the door or gate.
I do not confine myself to the precise form of the parts b and e as said parts may
be of other shape than is represented on the drawings so as to suit any particular
construction of wall or like place, but
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1st. In the fixing of doors and gates by means of bands or other devices tha
are supported on gudgeons or fixings, the construction and use of said gudgeons
or fixings with tail pieces as 6 forming part of said gudgeons, and built into a wall
or other structure in the manner and for the purpose.substantially as herein before
described.
2nd. In the fixing of doors and gates the use of hasps or staples in which the bolt
or equivalent for fastening the door or gate engages, constructed with a tail piece
as b so as to form a part of said hasp or staple in the manner and for the purpose
substantially as herein before described.
3rd. In the fixing and securing of doors and gates by means of a bolt placed
in a slide or an equivalent thereto, the construction of said slide or equivalent with
a tail piece or part as e in the manner and for the purpose substantially as herein
before described.
