Be it known that 1, JOHN J. CownLL, a citizen of the `United States, and a resident of Newark, in the-county toallow parties to pass through the door ineither direction without danger of personal injuryT or inconvenience. With the above objects in view my invention resides 4and consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described, claimed and illustrated upon the accompanying drawings, forming apart of this specification upon which similar characters of reference denote like or corresponding parts.'

Figure 1 shows a side elevation of a door and casing broken away with my improved hinge attachedthereto I as in use. Fig. 2, shows a detailed perspective view of a simple form of pintlc bracket which I employ in connection with my hinge, upon the upper corner of. a door naled in the casing'of the lower hinge.

of the door swinging in v part of my invention.

to pivotally support the same inline with the shaft jourtached inverted plan view of thetop or cover of the hipge casing and'is shown -upon an enlarged scale from,

the hinge shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4, is a'planviezw of hinge and casing upon which the cover'shown' in' Fig.' 3, is attached. A. Fig. 5, is atransverse sectional elevation through hinge,taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 4. Fig.

6, is a detached front elevation of the shaft journaled in the casing and upon which the door is supported. Fig.

7, is a detached plan view of a T-rod use`d in the hinge.

Referring in detail to the characters of reference marked upon 4the drawing 10 indicates a casing and ll a door hung therein through the medium of my novel i hinge. The door and casing can obviously be of .thel

" first shoving the pintle "end of the bracket into the recess and then extending said pintle into bearing 13 of the plate l2 and finally securing said bracket to the door by screws in the position indicated in Fig'. 1.

Fig. 3, is a de-.

p To'the lower end of the door il'. attach by means of screws a plate 1'7 which isl provided with ashouldered socket 18 to receive the shouldered stud 19 of the shaft 20 rotatively mounted within the casing of the hinge. This'stud is thicker on the inner or `door end than the v back end to prevent its being assembled and used in va reverse direction; The casing is preferably formed two parts and consists of a lower body portion 22 and a'. cover 23- which may be secured to the body by tap screw 41. The casing is secured in a suitable recess of I the floor by means of screws passing through the holes 42 of both cover and casing. p 'lhe lower portion contains a socket 24 while the cover is provided with a bearing 2 5 in line with said socket and in which said shaft 20 is; operatively mounted. The lower portion 0f the Leasing is further provided on eitherside with a ledge 28 to forni a lower slideway for the head 29'of the slide rod 30. Saidlower portion of the casing is further provided with a bearing 31 for the small end of the guide rod as clearly shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The cover 23 of the casingalso contains a pair of guides 32 in line with the'before mentioned ledges 28 and to likewise guide the head of the rod in its reciprocatory movement`within'the casing. vA further guide 33as shown in Figs; 1, 3 andv 5 lis formed integral with the cover in line Iwith the bearing 31 of the lower portion of the casing to engage and retain the small end of the guide rod in position within the casing. The outer end 40 of the casing is preferably closed to'exclude water and dampY ness from pocket 44 and interior vof casing, yet it may be providedk with an opening if desired to allow the rod 30 to bear, and operate therein, thus avoiding the use of the bearings 3l and. 33.

The shaft 20 carries parallel plates ,which are sepa- ,rated or spaced apart as at 3'5,4 and the head 29 of the slide rod 30 lies in the spatie 35Y The rollers 36 are journaled forrotatioh in thesaid space between the plates. The said rollers are located one on either side and'at equal distances from .the axial center of the shaft 20 and are thereby Iadapted to swing with the shaft in in a manner to normally retain the .same in thve position shown in Fig. 4. 4 y

Having thus described my invention,= what is claimed iszv 1. In adouble-acting'hinge, the combination withy a. casing, of'aheaded slide rod mounted therein, a shaft rotatlvely mounted in the casing, a pair of bearing rolls mounted therein and adapted to `engage-the head of the sliding l'od, and a spring mounted on said rod to normally hoid the same in engagement with said rolls.

.2. In a doubleacting hinge, the combination with a casing, of a shaft journaled therein and having an extended shouldered lug, a plate receiving said shouldered lug, rolls connected to and moving with the shaft, a rod having a transverse head to engage said rolls, bearings in the ca s ing to slidably support the rod relative to the shaft and rolls,v and a spring mounted on said I od to retainthe rod in engagement' with the rolls.

4. In a double acting hinge, the combination With a casing, of a shaft journaled therein, and having spaced plates, rolls journaled between said plates, a rod'slidably mounted in said casing andv having a head which lies between said platesand in the pathof said rolls, a spring mounted on said casing to retain the rod in engagement with said rolls, and means slidably supporting the rod against lateral displacement.

In a double actinghinge, the'combination with a cas# ing comprising a body and a cover portion, of a shaft piovided with spaced plates jonrnaled in both said cover 'and body portion and having a 'projecting end, rolls journaled between said plates, a rod slidably mounted inthe casing and having' a concaved enlarged end and a pocket within the c oncavity, and a spring mounted on said rod to hold sea@ 11a said concaved and p'oeketed surface o'f the rod in yieidable engagement with said rolls.

`6; In a double acting hinge of the class described, the combination of a casing having guideways upon either side a cover for the casing having guides in line with the guide` Ways of the casing, a shaft journaled in the casing, and having spaced plates, rolls journaled between said plates, a

` rod having a head slidably mounted intermediate of said guideways and guides, and a spring mounted on said rod to normally hold the same against the rolls. l

7. In a double acting hinge, the combination of a casing, a shaft provided with .spaced parallel plates journaled therein and having a shouldered lug, a pair of rolls journaled between said plates, a shouldered plate engaging the shouldered lug, a T-'rod siidabiy mounted within'the casing and bearing against the rolls, a springmounted on said rod to yieldably hold the head of said rod against said rolls, and guides for said rod to retain the same in operative position.

8.l In a double-acting hinge, the combination with a pintle socket-plate constructed to be let into a door-casing, oi a door having a recess cut in the top edge thereof, and a plntle-bracket secured to the hinge-edge ot said door and having a portion carrying a pintle projecting over said recess, said pintle arranged to engage said socket-plate.
