I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111, Hatton Garden, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention relates to hinges in which the spindle is formed in two pieces,
a head and a pin and is suitable for doors, tables, windows and other purposes.
In the head as well as in the pin or main part of the spindle are formed
grooves destined to receive the ends of the hinge-sockets which are provided
with notches or teeth. These teeth or projections serve to prevent the head or
pin from turning. By pressing the projections of the hinge sockets into the
grooves, the latter is engaged by the projections and the head or pin are pre-
vented from turning relatively to their hinged parts while the ends of the sockets
forced into the grooves prevent the head and pin from moving longitudinally
in the hinge-sockets. The ends of the latter may have one or more notches or
projections. Instead of the latter, recesses or other ornamentations may be made
and act in the same manner by preventing the head or pin from turning rela-
tively to the hinge socket by being forced against the edge of the groove.

A communication from GUSTAV WEBER, of Gevelsberg, in the Empire of Ger-
many, Engineer.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111, Hatton Garden, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, 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 hinges in which the spindle is formed in two pieces,
a head and a pin, and is suitable for doors, tables, windows and other purposes.
In the accompanying drawing,

page_text: Figure 1 is an elevation of a hinge according to this invention, and
Figure 2 is a plan of same,
In the head 3, as well as in the pin or main part of the spindle 4 are formed
grooves or recesses 5 destined to receive projections on the ends of the hinge-
sockets which are notched as at 6. By pressing these top and bottom teeth or
edges 9 of the two hinge sockets into the recesses 5 of the pins the pins become
solidly united to the sockets 7 8, and by the locking of the projections in the
recesses, are prevented from turning relatively to their hinge parts 1, 2 while
the ends of the sockets forced into the recesses, prevent the head and pin from
moving longitudinally in the hinge-sockets. The ends of the latter may have
one or more notches or projections 9. Instead of the latter, recesses or other
ornamentations may be made and act in the same manner by preventing the head
or pin from turning relatively to the hinge sockets by being forced into the re-
cesses 5. The main friction therefore occurs at 10, and is much smaller than in
ordinary hinges.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what claim is:
-
1. A hinge consisting of a divided pin and double hinge plates one of the ends
of each hinge socket being forced into a corresponding recess in the head and
pin respectively, substantially as described.
2. The complete hinge substantially as described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing.
Dated this 19th day of August 1899.
