Improvements in Hinges.
I, JOHN RICHARDSON, of Brandling Street, Monkwearmouth, in the County
of Durham, Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in hinges, which consist of a double fronted
strap hinge and eye for heavy wood gates.
This invention is constructed with a cast iron block of a suitable shape, the said
block being drilled with a hole to form the eye. Around the aforesaid block I
pass a wrought iron strap or other suitable forging's to form the double hinge and
fix the two together by bolts, screws or rivets; I thus form the eye and knuckle of
the hinge.
The hinge is fixed on each side of the top or bottom rail and hanging stile of a
wood gate by bolts or screws.
The object of my invention is to save the labour usually expended by welding.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and that
the shapes and materials may be varied in many ways within the scope of my
invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hinges.
I, JOHN RICHARDSON, of Brandling Street, Monkwearmouth, in the County
of Durham, Blacksmith, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in hinges, which consist of a double fronted
strap hinge and eye for heavy wood gates.
This invention is constructed with a cast iron block of a suitable shape, the said
block being drilled with a hole to form the eye. Around the aforesaid block I -
pass a wrought iron strap or other suitable forging's to form the double hinge and
fix the two together by bolts, screws or rivets; I thus form the eye and knuckle of
the hinge.
The hinge is fixed ou each side of the top or bottom rail and hanging stile of a
wood gate by bolts or screws.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon."
Fig. 1 is a front elevation with the strap hinge broken off for want of space;
Fig. 2, is a plan of the top of the block and the strap hinge fixed together; this
figure is broken off.
According to the illustrations I construct a cast iron block f with flanges a a
situated at the top and bottom of the block, this said block being drilled with a
hole e to form the eye. In the cast iron block a stud pin c is formed for the
purpose of giving strength to the hinge when the said stud pin c is inserted into the
hanging stile of a wood gate and the double strap is bolted to a gate. Around
the block and between the flanges a a I fix the knuckle of the double strap

page_text: hinge 6 by means of drilling a hole through the aforesaid and a clinched rivet d
which is indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2.
The object of my invention is to save the labour usually expended by welding.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and that
the shapes and materials may be varied in many ways within the scope of my
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed; I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The combination of the block flanges d a hole e stud pine and the double
strap rivetted together, for the purpose of forming, a double hinge and eye for
heavy wood gates, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawing.
2. The combination of the various parts to be constructed of any metallic
substance, shape or fixed together by one or more rivets, bolts, or screws,
substantially as herein described and for the purpose specified.
