sightly. In some instances screen doors arev mounted on separable spring leaves h eld together by thereinovable pintle, and 1n this case one-half of each hinge remains permanently on the door frame and presents a projection beyond the face ot' the door rframe upon which one is likely to tear their clothing.

The objections related above with reference to screen doors are also present in connection with easement screens and window screens where it is desired that the screen swing on hinges for the purpose oi enabling one to clean the windows.

The object of my invention is to remove these objectionable features by providing a hanging stile from which the swing member may be hung and to which the swing meniber can be readily attached and detached without the means of tools.

My invention consists, broadly speaking, of a hanging stile preferably U shaped in cross section, in which are secured, preferably, two hooks, one near the bottom, and one near the top of the stile on which hooks the door screen or the like is sustained in operative position. My invention con sistsiurther in providing hinges, one leatl or' which is provided with a hook adapted to interengage with its corresponding hook in the hanging stile.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical elevation (interrupted) of a trame door and hanging stile, the stile being in section embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view ot the top hinge detached.

Figure 3 is a front elevation of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a side elevation of Figure 2.

Figure 5is a top plan view of the lower hinge.

Figure 6 is a front elevation of the lower hinge.

Figure 7 is a side elevation of Figure 5.

Figure 8 is a sectional view on the line 8--8, Figure 1.

The reference numeral 9 designates the door window or easement screen or any approved construction, and 10 the frame.

My improved hanging stile 11 is preferably U shaped in cross section, the arm 12 ot' the stile being longer than the arm 13 of the stile.v The arin 1:2, as more clearly shown in Figure 8, functions as a stop for the swinging trame. The stile is provided with an upwardly extending hook 14: near its upper end and with a hook 15 near its lower end, the hook 15 projecting further toward the front of the stile than the hook 14 so that the hook'15 is in a different vertical plane from the hook 111 as clearly shown in Figure 1. These hooks are preterably formed ot flat plate metal and extend substantially the full width of the hanging stile as clearly shown in Figure 8.

The hinges, according to my invention, have as usual, the two hinge leaves 16 and 17, the leaf 16 having screw holes 18 through which screws are adapted to pass to secure the hinge to the door 9. The other leat1 17 ofthe hinge is impert'orated and is longer than the leaf 16, the excess length being bent rearwardly as at 19 and then downwardly as at 20 thereby forming a hook projected from the rear tace of the leaf 17 which hook is adapted to interengage with and being suspended from the hooks 14 and 15 of the stile, and when in such position connecting the door and supporting it on the hanging stile `without tools and without the intervention of screws.

The lower hinge 21 is of the saine construction as the upper hinge just described with the exception that the bend 22 is much shorter than the bend 19 whereby the downward bend 23 is relatively'closer to its hinge leaf, the object of which is very apparent :from the assembled view of Figure 1.

After the hanging stile 11 is in position, and the hinges secured to the door, the door may be hung from the hanging stile by simply passing the hooks of the hinges into the stile above the hooks and then permitting the door to move downwardly to the position shown in Figure 1 whereupon the hooks of the hinges are attached to and interengage with the hooks 14 and 15 of the hanging stile whereupon the door is simply fastened any purpose whatever fromthe hanging stile it is only necessary to swingmit outwardly and then lift it vertically'untih the hooks of therhinges are disengaged fromthe hooks 14 and 15 of the hanging stile ivhere-l upon `the door is free to be removed.

It Vwill be noted from Figure lut/hat the `hooks 14 and 15 are in differentyertical planes so that in the case of a sliding screen l 15 `the hook of the lower hinges is :free kto slide vertically past the upper hook 14.

I am aware that certain changes may be `.made in the details of construction shown withoutl departing from the scope ,of the appended claims.

Vhat I claim is:
