Referring now to Figs. 4 and 5, the latch structures 14 each include a body plate 38 having suitable openings 39 formedtherein for the passage of connecting screws 40 whereby to effectuate connection between the body plate and the door 12. This body plate provides a housing 41 and slidably arranged in the housing 41 is a bolt 42 having a reduced cylindrical stem 43 projecting through an opening 44 formed in the housing 41. The bolt is urged in an outer position vby means of a spring 45 arranged in the housing between a wall thereof and the bolt 42. The bolt, has one end extending eXteriorly of the housing and this end provides a latch head 46, which latch head includes a notch 47 adapted to receive the pintle 48 carried by a keeper plate 49. This keeper plate 49 includes spaced knuckles 50 between which is arranged the pin 48 and these knuckles are likewise connected together at one Y side by means of a plate 52 similar to the plate 27.

The bolt 42 includes a transverse opening 53 and projecting into this opening for engagement i with thefbolt is a pin or lug 54 which is formed f in a direction to slide the bolt 42 against theas an integral part of an operating handle 55 pivotally supported between suitable bearings 56 carrying Aa pintle 57 projected through the operatings constructed in accordance with the description herein the door may be opened from either rof the side jambs and this is accomplished in the following manner. To openthe door from the left hand jamb the operating handle of thelatch structure indicated at A is manipulated action of the spring 45 whereby to disengage the latch notch from engagement with the pin 48. Now by applying outward pulling pressure on the handle the door will swing upon the door mount-v ings on the left hand side. The door may be closed in the usual manner by applying pressure to the door in closing direction. Assuming that by negligence or by accident the door is not completely closed but that the fingers of the door mountings on the left side are in close proximity with the pins of the hinge leaf 16 on this side of the door, but not in proper engagement so as to complete a connection. If the operator grasps the operating handle of the latch structure on .as the operatorapplies pressure to the right hand side ofthe door the door will move a very short distance, which distance is not suicient to disengage the fingers from confinement between the l knuckles 26and the plate 27 because at thisr point the weight of the door, as shown in Fig. 6, will be transposed to both or one of the dool` mount'- ings on the right hand side and consequently the ngers will wedge between the knuckles 26 and against the plate 27. Lateral movement ofthe f door under these conditions is prevented by reason of the fact that the plate 27 has its edge 28 disposed sufliciently far enough beyond the longitudinal axis of the pin 29 and consequently complete disconnection between the fingers and When this i reaaves the hinge leaf 16 is prevented. It will thus be seen that the door cannot drop from its position in the opening beyond a point where the wedging effect takes place between thev fingers and the knuckles 26 and plate 27. Therefore, if the door is inadvertently left partially open at one side the opening action of the door from the other side will attract attention to that effect and consequently injury to the operator is prevented and complete disassembly of the door averted.

While we have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying our invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification, without departingV from the Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and desire .to protect by Letters Patent is:

1. In a mounting of the classdescribed, a hinger leaf providing a knuckle ,having a bifurcatedportion extending therefrom at substantially right-I angles with respect to the body portionpof the leaf, a second hinge leaf providing portions providing a relatively deep socket to receive said eX tended portions, and a member positioned transversely in the socket in the path of the bifurcation of said portion of said knuckle.

2. A mounting of the class described including a hinge leaf providinga body plate, a knuckle provided `by the body plate and having a relatively wide portion formed thereon and extending: at rightangles with respect to the body plate and slotted to provide opposite fingers, a second hinge leaf having a lateral portion providing a relatively deep socket to receive said fingers, and a member extendingtransversely of the socket and adapted to fit into said slot, said fingers being adapted when said rst mentioned hinge leaf has a weight disposed thereon to` wedge ,against portions of said lateral portions within said socket.

3. In a mounting of the class described, a pair receive the bifurcated portion, a member posi@ tioned transverselyV in the socket in the path of the bifurcation of said bifurcated portion, vand means for effectuating detachable connection between said hinge leaves, said means including an element movable automaticallyv by engagementi with the said Ymember when said hinge leaves are moved from and to connected position.

- 4. In a mounting of the class described, a hinge leaf providing a knuckle having a bifurcated portion extending therefrom at substantially, right-angles withrespect to the body portion of the leaf, a second hinge leaf providing portions providing a relatively deep socket to receive said extended 'Vportions,va member positioned transversely in the socket in the path of the bifurca-l' tion of said portion of saidknuckle, and spring urged means for eifecting detachable connection between said first mentioned hinge leaf and said second mentioned hinge leaf, said spring'urged means being operable to permit detachment of `said hinge leaves by pressure of said pintle against an elementof said means.

5. A mounting of the class described including va hinge leaf providing a body plate, a knuckle provided by the body plate-and vhavingga rela-Y;

tively wide portion formed thereon and extending at right-angles with respect to the body plate and slotted to provide opposite fingers, a second hinge leaf having a lateral portion providing a relatively deep socket to receive said ngers, a. member extending transversely of the socket andv adapted to t into said slot, said fingers `being adapted when said first mentioned hinge leaf
