It is, therefore, the general object of the ' present invention to provide a lockable butt hinge ,~ arrangement for a door which will permit opening of the , 5 door to selected degrees of opening but no further.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
~` This invention relates to a hinge assembly , including a first butt plate for mounting on a door jamb ~ and a second butt plate for mounting on the edge face of a '' 10 door. One of the butt plates includes along one side edge '' thereof at least three axially spaced gudgeons (or round ;'-- cylindrical sockets) for receiving a pintle (or pivot ,; pin). Pairs of diametrically spaced rigid flanges project ~: outwardly from these gudgeons with one flange of one of , 15 the pairs of flanges containing at least two horizontal ',~, slots. The second butt plate includes along one side edge ' thereof at least two axially spaced gudgeons adapted to j.
,~ fit between the first butt plate gudgeons and receive a ,,'~ common pintle, one of these second butt plate gudgeons '',,,l 20 including at least one radially projecting rigid abutment ~, flange. A pintle is adapted to pass through the gudgeons .',; of both plates to hold the plates in pivotal ~-' relationship. A slide bolt is adapted to slide within a vertical gap formed between the first butt plate rigid ,' 25 flanges and to move into engagement with the second butt ~,,, plate rigid abutment flange to thereby either hold the door shut or limit the opening of the door or move out of ~- engagement with the abutment flange to permit free opening ~' of the door. This slide bolt includes a radial pin ~, 30 projecting outwardly therefrom for manipulating the bolt.
~,' A cover plate is also provided to cover the vertical gap " containing the slidable bolt.
,' Preferably, when the slide bolt is in its -~' lowermost position, it is totally out of engagement w,ith -,,' 35 the rigid flange so that the door is freely swingable.
`' Then in intermediate and upper positions the slide bolt is ~ ::
~, .. '~' .
~,, , ~ .
. .
: ', ' ':
, .. " ' .
adapted to engage the rigid flange thereby either preventing any swing or restricting the degree of swing of the door. There may be several of these intermediate or upper positions with recesses of different depths in the bolt for the different locations whereby the rigid flange ~ and hence the door can swing through larger or smaller ;~ arcs before engaging the bolt.
The bolt can be fixed in the different positions by providing slots within which the projecting bolt pin rests. For instance, the horizontal slots in one of the pairs of gudgeon flanges of the first butt plate can serve ; as such slide bolt pin holders.
The hinges of this invention should be made from a metal which is not easily deformable and the projecting ; 15 flanges may also include stiffening ribs so as to prevent damage to the hinges if someone should try to force the door when the slide bolt is in engagement with the rigid abutment flange.
The slide bolt itself is typically of cylindrical configuration with recesses cut into the side to provide the different abutment points with the rigid abutment flange.
The vertical gap which holds the slide bolt is covered by a cover plate which serves to prevent tampering ; 25 with the slide bolt and also retains it in position. The cover plate may include a slot therein within which the projecting pin of the slide bolt moves. The bolt may also be rotated by lateral movement of the pin within the slot - and the pin may come to rest at the lower extremity of the slot when the slide bolt is in its lowermost position.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the second butt plate includes on a gudgeon thereof a pair of spaced radially projecting rigid abutment flanges. These may conveniently be angularly spaced by about 90. With the pair of abutment flanges, one flange serves the purpose of holding the door closed : .
.
' ~. . . ~,, ", ,: ' - ' 107"
, .
as described above while the second flange is used to hold the door in an open position. Thus, when the door is in ; an open position the second flange is positioned such that it will engage the slide bolt when moved to an upper position and thereby hold the door open.
: According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the second butt plate may include on one of its gudgeons an annular projection with tapering top ; and bottom faces designed to engage a corresponding slot in the first butt plate. This provides a convenient means for aligning the gudgeons of the two butt plates when they ; are being assembled.
. According to yet another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the pintle itself can be specially designed for ease of installation. Thus, the pintle may firstly be tapered at its lower extremity for ~; ease of movement through the gudgeons and, furthermore, the pintle can be arranged so that it can rest in position in the uppermost gudgeon without interference while the hinge is being assembled. This is achieved by providing a slot along the length of the pintle and a projecting tab ~ within a hole in the top cover plate of the hinge whereby ; the pintle moves upwardly and downwardly with the tab travelling within the groove. At a convenient location close to the lower end of the pintle is provided a lateral ,~ slot extending from the vertical slot whereby the pintle ~- may be rotated such that the top tab rests in this lateralslot. This is arranged such that when the tab engages the lateral slot, the lowermost tip of the pintle is entirely within the uppermost gudgeon so that it will not interfere with the assembly of the hinge. Then, when the butt plates are in alignment, the pintle can be rotated , slightly so that the tab is in alignment with the vertical slot and the pin will then drop down through the hinge to - 35 secure the plates together. This serves to greatly simplify the installation of a door.

, As illustrated in Figure 1, the butt plate 10 is mounted on a door jamb by means of screws. This hinge plate includes an upper gudgeon 11, an intermediate gudgeon 11' and a lowermost gudgeon 11".
Projecting outwardly from the topmost gudgeon 11 '~ are a pair of spaced flange members 12. The intermediate gudgeon 11' has extending outwardly therefrom a pair of ~1 flanges 13 and 14 with the flange 14 being divided into -~ three sections, 14, 14' and 14" with horizontal slots tnerebetween. The lowermost gudgeon 11" again has a pair of flanges 15 extending outwardly therefrom, these lowermost flanges having slots 16 in the lowermost faces ~-, thereof. There are axial gaps between the gudgeons 11, 11' and 11" and slots 17 and 18 are cut into plate 10 as extensions of the gaps between the gudgeons.
The second butt plate 19 is adapted to be mounted on a door and this plate has along one edge thereof a pair of axially spaced gudgeons 21 and 22. These gudgeons 21 .: ' .,., ~-.
.'"' .
and 22 are designed to fit snugly within the gaps formed between the gudgeons 11, 11' and 11" of the first butt ~ plate. The upper gudgeon 22 has a pair of rigid flanges ;~ or abutments 23 and 23a which, in assembled location, are designed to swing freely within the gap between gudgeon 11 and gudgeon 11'. The flanges 23 and 23a are radially spaced by about 90 and the purposes of these flanges will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
:~ The gudgeon 21 includes at the lowermost edge thereof an annular flange 20 with a tapered face. This flange fits within gap 18 of plate 10 and, because of the tapered , faces, provides an easy means for aligning the hinges during assembly.
Mounted within the vertical gaps formed between i~ 15 the flanges 12, 14 and 15 is a slidable bolt 24. This bolt may be of cylindrical configuration and includes a ; projecting pin 25 for manipulation. The bolt includes an intermediate recess 26 and one or more of these of different depths may be utilized. The slide bolt 24 is ,' 20 held in position by means of a cover plate 27 which covers the outer edge of the gaps between the projecting flanges of plate 10 as well as the edge faces of these flanges.
^~ In order to hold this plate in position, it includes a bottom lip 28 which is received and held by slot 16 of $-~ 25 flanges 15. The upper end 29 of the cover plate extends over the top of the hinge and is held in place by means of a lip 39 which hooks over gudgeon 11.
As will be seen from Figure 6, the cover plate 27 ,; includes a slot 32 including a downwardly projecting portion 33 and a lower extremity 34. In operation, the pin 25 of the slide bolt 24 projects from the slot 32 and can rest in one of three positions, the first position is in the lower extremity 34 of slot 32, the second position is resting on gudgeon portion 14" and the third position - 35 is resting on gudgeon portion 14'.
It will, therefore, be seen that when pin 25 is ,.~

'' ' ' ' :
, .
resting on lower extremity 34, the uppermost end of bolt 24 is at a vertical position below the rigid flanges 23 - and 23a. Accordingly, the flanges 23 and 23a are free to swing with the door through any desired arc. When the bolt 24 is moved to the second position with pin 25 resting on gudgeon portion 14", the uppermost portion of the bolt 24 has assumed a position adjacent the flange 23. The bolt in this position is in fact in very close proximity to the flange 23 so that the door cannot be opened. By moving the bolt 24 upwardly to the third position, the recess 26 is directly adjacent the flange 23 ~; and, because of the recess 26, the flange 23 is given greater freedom of movement so that the door can be opened in this position to a somewhat greater degree than in the ~, 15 second position. In this position the door can be opened only a rather small crack sufficient for a person on the inside to peer through and see who is outside the door.
The second rigid flange 23a represents a -~ particularly preferred embodiment of the invention and may be used together with the slide bolt of Figure 4 or 4a as a means for holding the door in an open position. Thus, it will be seen from Figures 1 and 2 that as the door is swung open, the hinge plate 19 swings with respect to hinge plate 10 so that the flange 23a moves radially ~`~ 25 through the gap within which the bolt 24 moves. When the door is fully open, the bolt 24 is moved upwardly so that it engages the flange 23a and prevents the door from closing.
In order to hold the door open in a fixed position without free movement beyond the engagement with flange 23a, a usual wall or floor mounted door stop may be used.
However, this may also be accomplished by means of the special slide bolt of Figure 4a, which has a curving pin 40 of rectalinear cross-section. Thus, when the door is ; 35 locked in open position by slide bolt 24, the curved portion of pin 40 acts as an abutment preventing further ,, , . . .

' ' opening of the door. In this manner the door is securely held in an open position.
The pintle 30 includes a tapered lower end 35 and ~; a slot 36 extending the length thereof. Also, at a lower ~- 5 section of the pintle there is provided a small lateral , slot 37 interconnecting with the vertical slot. The pintle travels through the hole 31 in the top 29 of cover plate 27, with a projecting tab 38 of the hole 31 moving within the vertical slot.
- 10 When a door is being mounted, the pintle 30 is i simply placed in the hole at the top, then lowered down ;~ until the lateral groove 37 comes into engagement with the ~ tab 38 so that the pintle rests in this position. Then, .~ when the door has been positioned in the doorway and the ` 15 gudgeons of the two hinge plates are in alignment, the pintle is simply rotated until the tab comes into ~,: alignment with the vertical groove and the pintle then ~; drops down through the gudgeons, securing the door in operational position.
The tab 38 is mounted in the top 29 for ease of manufacture. However, this tab may also be formed as a projection on the inner cylindrical wall of upper gudgeon The pintle 30 may also have a head 41 with a projecting tab 42 for ease of moving the pintle.
While presently preferred embodiments of the apparatus of the present invention have been described herein, with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is understood that variations, modifications, omissions, and refinements which depart from the disclosed embodiments - may be adopted without departing from the spirit and scope ,; of this invention.
