SPECIFICATION FOR RISING BUTT HINGES

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 24 February 1979, after the draft finalized by the Builders Hardware Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 6.2 Rising butt hinges are used for fixing the door shutters to the frame when it is intended that the shutters get automatically closed. When the door is opened, the flap of the hinge fixed to the shutter, spirally over the other flap fixed to the frame, elevates the shutter. The door gets automatically closed when the ilap of the hinge by way of its own weight and weight of the shutter tends to move down spirally. These hinges find their use when the door shutters are not up to the full height of the opening, such as doors for cabins of doctors, station officers of police or railway stations or for other offkes where considerable public dealings are involved. 0.3 This standard contains clauses 5.1 and 6.3 which permit the purchaser to use his options for selection to suit his requirements. 0.4 In formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in different countries, in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country. 6.5 This standard is one of a series hardware. Other standards published page 13. 6.6 For standard ing the with IS rounded standard. of Indian Standards SO far in the series on builders are given at

the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated expressresult of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance The number of significant places retained in the : 2-1960*. off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
