page_text: I ALFRED GOLD of Highfield House Hall Green, in the County of Worcester
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
i
My invention consists in the improvements herein after described in the
manufacture of binges, of all kinds, and applicable to all purposes.
By my Invention the manufacture of the said hinges is much simplified and
economised, as the complication of parts such as pinning, the use of washers and
the rivetting over for the jointing is dispensed with.
I will describe my Invention thus ;
I employ a bar of iron, or other metal or alloy, of any length, width, and.
thickness, and pass between rolls so constructed that the said bar will receive a
rounded bead on 'one edge 'longitudinally, I then cut off the required length and
pierce or cut an aperture in the centre in the flat part and adjoining the rounded
bead. I thus form one part of a hinge in commerce known as the head, the other
part known as the stale is of the usual shape or configuration one end in outline
being of a width sufficient to pass through the aperture above described, and of 'a
length sufficient for it to be bent around the bead above described the piercing and
countersinking in both parts is effected as hitherto I thus form a hinge in two
parts, In some cases I may pierce the head with two or more apertures, if with
two then I have two projections on the stale to pass through the slots and both bent
around the said bead.
I inay construct the head of sheet metal of any guage, width and length, pierced
or cut out with tools, in this case I'should turn up the edge on one side to form the
rounded bead and complete the manufacture of the hinge as above described.

I, ALFRED GOLD of Highfield House Hall Green in the County of Worcester
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 consists in the improvements hereinafter described in the
manufacture of hinges of all kinds, and applicable to all purposes.
By my invention the manufacture of the said hinges is much simplified and
economised, as the complication of parts, such as pinning, the use of washers, and
the rivetting over for the jointing is dispensed with.
I will describe my invention thus:
I employ a bar of iron, or other metal or alloy, of any length, width and
thickness, and pass between rolls so constructed that the said bar will receive a
rounded bead on one edge longitudinally. I then cut off the required length and
✓ pierce or cut an aperture in the centre in the flat part and adjoining the rounded
bead. I thus form one part of a hinge in commerce known as the head-the other
part known as the stale is of the usual shape or configuration one end in outline
being of a width sufficient to pass through the aperture above described, and of a
length sufficient for it to be bent around the bead above described; the piercing and
counter sinking in both parts is effected as hitherto.
I thus form a hinge in two parts.
In some cases I may pierce the head with two or more apertures, if with two,
then I have two projections on the stale to pass through the slots and bcth bent
around the said bead:
I may construct the head of sheet metal of any guage, width, and length, pierced
or cut out with tools:-In this case I should turn up the edge on one side to form
the rounded bead and complete the manufacture of the hinge as above described.
And in order that my said invention may be more clearly understood I will now
proceed to describe it in connection with the accompanying sheet of Drawings
Fig. 1 is a view and elevation of the bar or strip before rolling.
Fig. 2 is a view, cross section of same.
Fig. 3 is a view and elevation of the strip when rolled.
Fig. 4 is a view cross section of same.
Fig. 5 is a view of piece of bar or strip when rolled and cut the required length.
Fig. 6 is a view of same with pierced aperture.
Fig. 7 is a view and elevation of the "stall" of hinge.
Fig. 8 is a view in section of same.
Fig. 9 is a view in elevation of hinge put together.
Fig. 10 is a view in cross section of same.
Fig. 11 is a view in elevation of hinge with 2 apertures.
Fig. 12 is a view in elevation of a piece of sheet metal.
Fig. 13 is a view in cross section of same.
Fig. 14 is a view in elevation of the sheet with edge bent round.
Fig. 15 is a view in cross section of same.
The same letters of reference upon the several figures indicate like or corre-
sponding parts.

page_text: A, is the bar or strip, b, is the rounded bead, and c is the pierced aperture and
thus I form the head, the stale d with ende, is passed through the aperture a. and
bent round b,-h is the pierced and counter some parts to receive the screws when
applied to its purpose.
Fig. 11 illustrates my invention to a hinge of another point and differs only, by
having two apertures c, in the head adjoining b, and two ends e, on the other part
to engage upon the b, as above described.
Figs. 12. 13. 14. 15 illustrates my mode of making the head from sheet metal
a¹ is a piece of sheet metal pierced out with tools the edge of which is turned up
and forms the rounded bead b¹ the completion is effected as above set forth I would
observe in conclusion as I do not confine myself to the exact details herein shewn
on the accompanying drawings and described in the specification as I may vary
them to some extent while not departing essentially from the principal of the said
Invention.
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,
1st. The construction of the one part of a hinge made from the bar or strip of
metal by rolling with a bead thereon or from sheet metal with the edge bent up to
form the bead, and one or more pierced apertures to receive the end or ends of the
other part of hinge as described in the foregoing Specification and illustrated by the
accompanying sheet of drawings.
2nd. The combination and arrangement of parts the whole forming "Improve-
ments in or relating to the manufacture of hinges."
