Improvements in or in connection with Hinges for Gates, Doors,"
and Windows.
WILLIAM REYNOLDS, Chase Works, Barnard's Green, Malvern, Worcester-
shire, Carriage Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improved means of gate hanging, in which the hinge is so
formed to regulate a gate on which it is fixed when drooping that is, when the post
or support to which it is fixed inclines by the weight of the gate hanging thereon
and causes the end of the gate to drag on the ground. This hinge is so formed
that should a gate droop it can be immediately righted by means of a regulating
screw and slide bar. It consists of a piece of metal or other material, shaped so
when fixed to the side of a gate will form a square frame, from the eye of the
hinge is formed a flat bar, on the end of which is a screw, which passes through a
flat plate, which forms a slide in the square frame.
A long screw is inserted in the side of the frame which forces against the slide
and lifts the gate to the position required. Across the square frame is fixed a bar
in which is fitted a set screw to keep the eye bar fixed when the gate is in
position.
Mode of working is thus; to raise a drooping gate, first slacken the set screw,
then turn the regulating screw which presses against the slide, this draws the top
of the gate towards the support, at the same time raises the further corner of the
gate from the ground, when sufficiently high tighten the set screw.
To enable my invention to be clearly understood I will describe to same with
reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 shows a part of gate where the working is attached, A the flat bar
extending from the eye bar of the hinge, B regulating screw, C, eye of hinge,
D set screw, E slide bar, F, frame, G, post or support.

WILLIAM REYNOLDS, Chase Works, Barnard's Green, Malvern, Worcester-
shire, Carriage Builder, 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 improved means of gate hanging, in which the hinge is
so formed to regulate a gate on which it is fixed when drooping, that is, when
the post or support to which it is fixed inclines by the weight of the gate hanging
thereon and causes the end of the gate to drag on the ground. This hinge is so
formed that should a gate droop it can be immediately righted by means of a
regulating screw and slide bar. It consists of a piece of metal or other material

of the hinge is formed a flat bar, on the end of which is a screw which passes
through a flat plate which forms a slide in the square frame. A long screw is inserted
in the side of the frame which forces against the slide and lifts the gate to the
position required.

page_text: Across the square frame is fixed a bar in which is fitted a set screw to keep the
eye bar fixed when the gate is in position.
The mode of working is thus ;
To raise a drooping gate first slacken the set screw, then turn the regulating
screw which presses against the slide, this draws the top of the gate towards the
support, at the same time raises the further corner of the gate from the ground,
when sufficiently high, tighten the set screw.
To enable my invention to be clearly understood I will describe to same with
reference to drawings left with Provisional Specification.

support.

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 :-
1st. Improvements in, or in connection with hinges for gates, doors and windows,
which operate by means of a screw in connection with a slide bar, to raise or lower,
