[AW/FENCE fzwrw/vqrom E56 I LSKQMQM ATTORNE'X' United States Patent 3,158,186 HINGE SETTING APPARATUS Lawrence Heathington, 2742 W. Madison St, Phoenix, Ariz. Fiied Feb. 21, 1&63, Ser. No. 260,114 3 Glaims. (CL 144-27) This invention pertains to hinge setting apparatus and is particularly directed to a fixture to facilitate therabbeting and boring of doors and doors jambs for the mounting of hinges for hanging the doors.
This application is related -to applications: Serial No. 196,413, filed May 21, 1962; Serial No. 252,645, filed January 21, 1963; and Serial No. 244,481, filed December 13, 1962.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a fixture -to facilitate the accurate and easy cutting of the mounting surfaces for the hinges on doors and door jambs.
Another object is to provide a jig device to provide the rapid and precise guiding of a cutting tool for rabbeting and boring the pilot hole in doors and door jarnbs.
A further object is to provide a device as described which is universally applicable to ,a door or a door .jamb for accomplishing the prescribed rabbeting and boring operations in a highly eflicient manner.
Further features and advantages of this invention will appear from a detailed description of the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the apparatus incorporating the bfeatures of this invention shown applied to a .door 1am FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3- 3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a plan view, similar to FIG. 1 but showing the apparatus applied to a door.
FIG. 5 is a side elevation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a sectional view on the line 6-6 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a pair of the hinge setting devices applied to a door.
FIG. -8 is an enlarged fragmentaryperspective view showing one of the devices applied {to a door jarnb.
'FIG. 9 is an enlarged view showing the rabbeted recess to be formed in the door and door jamb.
FIG. 10 shows the pilot hole formed in the door and jarnb members.
FIG. 11 shows the hinge mounted on the finished rabbeted and bored door and door jamb.
FIG. 12 is a sectional view on the line 1212 of FIG. 11.
As an example of one embodiment of this invention there is shown, FIG. 3, a hinge setting device comprising a main frame 15 comprising the side members 16 integrally connected at one end to the tie block member 17. The other ends of the side members 16 are connected integrally with the locating bar 18 having a laterally extending abutment surface 19 and a locking pin or nail hole 26 formed therein. Formed in the tie block 17 are a pair of guide bores 21 in the outer enlarged portions 22 of which are fixed the spring retainer cylinders 23 containing and engaging one end of the compression springs 24. Tension bolts 25 having heads 26 engaging the other ends of the compression springs and extending outwardly through openings 27 in the spring retainer cylinders, pass through and are adjustably locked to the jamb abutment plate 28 by suitable clamping nuts 29. The jamb abutment plate 28 has a jamb abutment surface 30 adapted to engage the edge 31 of the jamb 32 while spring pressure in the springs 24 firmly holds abutment surface 19 against the other edge 33 of the jamb 32. The locating surfaces 34 on the inner 3,158,186 Patented Nov. 24, 1964 faces of the side members 16 and tie block 17 engage the outer face '35 of the door jamb 3-2. The locating nail 36 is driven through the nail hole 20, in part way, to both mark the jamb 32 for the reception of locking "pin 36a, FIG. 11, to finally secure the mounted hinge 3'7 and to secure the frame '15 to the iamb for the cutting operations.
The device is also adapted to be applied to the door 38, FIGS. 4, 5 and 6. To this end there is provided a swinging door abutment plate 39 having itsend integrally connected to the outer ends of the arms 46, the inner ends of the arms being .pivotally mounted by suitable rivets 41 to the lugs 42 formed integral with the ends of door jamb abutment plate 28 so as to swing around an axis 43 from the inoperative position shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 8, to the-operative position shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 6'and 7 wherein the door engaging abutment surface 44 of thedoor abutment plate 39 engages one face 45 of the door 38. The other face 46 and edge 47 of the door is engaged by the abutment surfaces 19 and 34 and the locating hall 36 as described for FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
Preferably, each of the described units are mounted in pairs on the jamb or door, FIG. 7 in desired spaced position by a suitable spacing rod 48 fixed at its ends to the side members 16 of the frames 15. A locating rod 49 having a suitable lug piece 56, such as shown in co pencling application, Serial Number 244,481, may be utilized for positioning the devices in proper vertical position for the hinges on the jarnb and door.
A suitable cutting tool assembly 511, such as shown in co-pending application Serial Number 252,645 may be utilized with this device comprising the tool carriage block 52 which slides between the guide surfaces 53 and 54, FIG. 8, and on the face 35 of the jamb or the edge 47 of the door during the cutting operations. The rabbeting cutter 55 is journaied on the bearing 5-6 in the tool carriage block 52 to form the rabhet recess 57, 9. The pilot hole boring cutter 58 forms the pilot hole 59 when moved into the position 69 at the completion of the rabbet-ing operation, FIG. 10. Suitable drive means 61 may be provided for rotating the-cutters 5'5 and 58 and for axially reciprocating the cutter 53 and sliding the stool carriage biock to and from the position 659.
While the apparatus herein disclosed and described constitutes a preferred form of the invention, it is also .to be understood-that the apparatus is capable of mechanical alteration without departing from the spirit of the invention and that such mechanical arrangement and commercial adaptation as fall within the scope of the appendant claims are intended to be included herein.
