Claims
- 1. A two knuckle hinge comprising:
- a pair of adjacent hinge leaves, long and short axially aligned hinge knuckles formed respectively on the adjacent edges of said hinge leaves;
- an anti-friction bushing in the end of said long hinge knuckle adjacent said short hinge knuckle for providing thrust and lateral bearing surfaces for the hinge; and
- a pintle, about which said long hinge knuckle pivots, supported in said short hinge knuckle and extending through said bushing in said long hinge knuckle, a flange on said pintle positioned between said long and short hinge knuckles and in contact with said bushing for providing an anti-friction surface for said bushing and for preventing said pintle from being driven out of said hinge knuckles.
- 2. A hinge according to claim 1, wherein said long hinge knuckle further includes at least one marking simulating a gap between two hinge knuckles extending around the exterior of said long hinge knuckle at a distance from its end equal to the length of said short hinge knuckle, whereby the two knuckle hinge simulates a three or more knuckle hinge.
- 3. A hinge according to claim 1, wherein said hinge leaves are equal in length to the leaf of a conventional concealed bearing hinge, the length of said short hinge knuckle is equal to the length of a short hinge knuckle of a concealed bearing hinge, and the combined length of said long and short hinge knuckles is equal to the length of said hinge leaves, whereby the two knuckle hinge simulates a three knuckle concealed bearing hinge.
- 4. In a two knuckle hinge having a pair of adjacent hinge leaves and long and short axially aligned hinge knuckles formed respectively on the adjacent edges of the hinge leaves, the improvement comprising:
- anti-friction means including a bearing;
- pin means extending from said short hinge knuckle through said anti-friction means into said long hinge knuckle and connecting said knuckles in end to end relationship for pivotal movement on said bearing about said pin means; and
- means integral with said long hinge knuckle for causing the two knuckle hinge to simulate the appearance of a three or more knuckle hinge.
- 5. A hinge according to claim 4, wherein said hinge leaves are equal in length to the leaf of a conventional concealed bearing hinge, the length of said short hinge knuckle is equal to the length of a short hinge knuckle of a concealed bearing hinge, and the combined length of said long and short hinge knuckles is equal to the length of said hinge leaves, whereby the two knuckle hinge simulates a three knuckle concealed bearing hinge.
- 6. A hinge according to claim 4, wherein said means integral with said long hinge knuckle includes a marking simulating a gap between two hinge knuckles extending around the exterior of said long hinge knuckle at a distance from its end equal to the length of said short hinge knuckle.
