PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Hinge or Fastener, applicable for Various Purposes.
1 JOHN WATKINS of 1 Ash Grove Victoria Road Headingley near Leeds in the
County of York do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
The object of this invention is to simplify the construction of hinges.or fasteners so
that they may be formed at one operation.
According to this invention I form the hinges or fasteners in two portions one of
which forms the pin of the hinge and the other portion I form with two hooks thereon
suitably curved to fit the aforesaid pin the back of one hook being on the outside and
that of the other on the inside of the hinge or fastener there being a space between
the said hooks large enough to admit the pin. To put the hinge or fastener together
the two portions are held at right angles to each other the pin passed into the space
between the hooks and the two portions turned into the same plane when the hinge
is ready for use or the fastener secured.
Hinges or fasteners constructed as above may be formed by casting or stamping in
any kind of metal earthenware or other suitable substance and I form holes in each
portion thereof for the purpose of attaching them by means of screws or rivets or
instead of holes I use suitable projecting teeth formed thereon or they may be
constructed so as to be sewn on articles of dress &c.
Hinges or fasteners constructed as above are suitable for doors packing cases
machine and other belts and fasteners for corsets and articles of apparel generally
and other purposes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Hinge or Fastener, applicable for Various Purposes.
I, JOHN WATKINS of 1 Ash Grove Victoria Road Headingley near Leeds in the
County of York Gentleman 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 :-
The object of this invention is to simplify the construction of binges or fasteners so
that they may be formed at one operation.
According to this invention I form the hinges or fasteners in two portions one of
which forms the pin of the hinge and the other portion I form with two hooks thereon
suitably curved to fit the aforesaid pin the back of one hook being on the outside and
that of the other on the inside of the hinge or fastener there being a space between
the said hooks large enough to admit the pin. To put the hinge or fastener together
the two portions are held at right angles to each other the pin passed into the space
between the hooks and the two portions turned into the same plane when the hinge is
ready for use or the fastener secured.
Hinges or fasteners constructed as above described are suitable for doors packing
cases machine and other belts and fasteners for corsets and articles of apparel
generally and other purposes.
And in order that my said invention may be the better understood I will proceed
to describe the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figs. 1 and 2 represent respectively front and back views of a hinge constructed
according to this invention. Figs. 3 and 4 represent the two portions of a hinge
detached such hinge having spikes thereon in place of screw holes. Fig. 5 represents
LUC

page_text: a fastener (for gloves, garters and other small articles) constructed according to this
invention. Fig. 6 represents a fastener for a waistbelt constructed according to this
invention.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the figures.
a is one portion of the hinge or fastener having the pin & formed thereon. is the
other portion having the hooks de formed integral therewith. are screw holes for
attaching the hinge. Instead of attaching the hinge by means of screws I may form
spikes thereon as shewn in Figs. 3 and 4 which spikes may be driven into or through
the wood or other substance to which it is desired to attach the hinge and clinched
on the other side. The fastener shewn at Fig. 5 may be attached to gloves garters
and other small articles by sewing and the belt fastener shewn at Fig. 6 may be
secured to the belt by spikes or rivets.
To put the hinge or fastener together the two portions a and c are held at right
angles to each other the pin passed into the space between the hooks d and e and
the two portions a and c turned into the same plane when the pin b falls into
the hooks d and e as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and the hinge is ready for use
or the fastener secured.
Hinges or fasteners constructed as above described may be formed by casting or
stamping from any suitable metil. In the case of cast hinges the hooks form their
own cores.
In addition these hinges or fasteners may be also formed of earthenware or other
suitable substance for example tea-pots jugs and the like may have earthenware lids
attached to them the hooks being formed on the vessel and the pin on the lid
or vice versa.
Hinges or fasteners constructed as above described are suitable for doors packing
cases machine belts garter fasteners waistbelts and other articles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is,
The improved hinge or fastener substantially as described and shewn in the
accompanying drawing.
Dated this 27th day of October 1890.
