Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A method of fabricating a hinge as described, which includes the step of making a blank for a leaf: bending a marginal edge portion of the blank so that the bend has an arcuate cross section with the radius of curvature correspond-ing to the radius of a rod to which it is to be secured. The circular rod is then secured by welding on an inner side of the bend and extending axially along the bend. The securing comprises welding on an edge of the bend marginal edge portion on the periphery of the rod to secure the rod to the bend. The blank is then bent to enclose the rod circumferentially until a free edge of the bend contacts a major surface of the leaf blank to conform the bend in cross section to the cross section configuration of the rod as a cylindrical knuckle.

Description

~045800 The present invention relates to a hinge applicable -to doors of building construction, furniture such as cabinets, etc. and other articles, and relates to a method for making the same.
As to a conventional method for fabricating a hinge, such a process has been known in which each one side edge of hinge leaves is rolled up beforehand in a circular shape to form a cylindrical knuckle part, and a rod member applicable to either a hinge pintle or a thrust bearing for supporting the hinge pintle at one end thereof is tightly inserted into an aperture o~ the cylindrical knuckle part so as to be rigidly secured therewithin. In the foregoing conventional method, the following steps of process have hitherto been known that 15 the rod member is rigidly secured within -the cylindrical ~
knuckle part by piercing a check pin through apertures - --formed on both the cylindrical knuckle part and the rod member. However, according to the aforementioned con-ventional method, it is very difficult to carry out the processes for inserting the rod member tightly into the ` aperture o~ the cylindrical knuckle part; for forming an aperture, to insert the check pin therein, on both the cylindrical knuckle part and the rod member engaged within the cylindrical knuckle part; and for fixing the rod member securely within the cylindrical knuckle part by inserting the check pin into the apertures, so that a lot of labour and time is needed for fabricating a hinge. Furthermore, such a hinge thus produced is apt to lack solidity in structure because of the fact that ~0 the rod member is often sub~ected to be loosely surrounded

One object of the present invention is to provide a solidly constructed hingeO
~ he other object of the present invention is to provide a hinge which can be made simply and economically with lesser labor and in a short peri.od of time.
In order to realize the above-enumerated objects, a hinge according to the present invention is fabricated by means of such processes that a rod member applicable to either a hinge pintle or a thrust bearing is welded to one side edge of a hinge leaf prior to the formation of a cylindrical knuckle part on one side edge of the .
hinge leaf, then the hinge leaf is wound at one side ~ ~
edge thereof around the rod member to form a cylindrical :
knuckle part concurrently with positioning the rod member within the cylindrical knuckle part. -. -Further objects and characteristics of the present invention will clearly be understood from the detailed ~ :
description with reference to the attached drawings as mentioned hereinafter.
In the attached drawings: ~ .

Figure 10 and Figure 11 are sectional views of one embodiment respectively taken along lines X-X and XI-XI of Figure 9.
Figure la - Figure le respectively show a side edge planes of a hinge leaf, wherein each step of processes in series :
for rolling up a rod member in one side edge of the hinge leaf.
Each step of the processes in series is as follows:
- (A) A metal plate is cut off in a desired dimension and shape to prepare a blank (1) for a hinge leaf as shown in Figure la, ~
(B) The blank (1) is bent up at one side edge ~2) thereof ~. :
to form a slight arc shape in profile as shown in Figure lb, ` (C) A rod member (3) having an appropriate length applicable to either a hinge pintle or a thrust bearing is placed on a portion (2) bent up to form the arc shape in profile, and :
the rod member is welded on the outer periphery thereof at the junction (4) with the end plane of the arc portion (2) as shown :
in Figure lc, (D) The arc portion (2) is wound around the rod member (3) until the end plane of the ara portion (2) abuts ~ B

against the main body (5) of the hinge leaf to form a cylindrical knuckle part (6) as shown in ~igure 1d;
(E) The wound portion (6) is t~rned down to be dis-placed within the plane of the main body (5) as shown in Figure 1e.
According to the aforementioned method of the present invention, when the cylindrical knuckle part (6) is formed on one side edge of a blank (1) for a hinge leaf, the rod member (3) applicable to either a hinge pintle or a thrust bearing has already been surrounded tightly by the cylindrical knuckle part (6) : along with the cylindrical knuckle part (6) being able to roll up the rod member (3) therein as an internal mold, thereby a steady hinge without locseness can be fabricated economically in less labor and a short period of time.
Figure 2 shows a step of processes for bending one side edge of the blank (1) for a hinge leaf to form a :
slight arc shape in profile as shown in Figure 1b by : 20 means of a lower die (7) and an upper die (8). ~he blank (1) for a hinge leaf is initially placed on the horizontal surface (14) of the lower die in such a manner as indicated by the two dots and dash line that one end (9) of the blank is extended to come in contact with : 25 an upright plane (13) by crossing over a groove (12) formed by a concave arc surface (10) provided on the lower die and an oblique surface (11) extended in upward inclination from the end portion of concave arc surface.
~: After having placed the blank (1) on the lower die~ the upper die (8) is adapted to slide down along the upright -:' ~04s800 plane (13) of the lower die to press one side edge of the blank (1) by the arc-shaped nose (15) of the upper die, thereby the one side edge is subjected to be bent nearly to an arc shape corresponding to the concave groove in profile as indicated by the solid lineO
Figure 3 illustrates a step of processes in series for rolling up the aforementioned bent portion (2) of the blank in a circular shape as shown in Figure 1d by employing a lower die (16) and an upper die (17)o The bent portion (2) formed at one side edge of the blank : welded on the rod member (3) is placed on a semi-circular groove (18) provided on the lower die (16) as indicated by the solid line to set the main body portion (5) of : the blank for a hinge leaf to be upright along a vertical plane (19) of the lower die (16), and the upper end of the blank is pressed by a bottom plane (20) of the upper die (17) which slides downwards so as to form ; a cylindrical knuckle part (6) at the above-mentioned bent portion (2) which is rolled up in a circular shape along the inner profile of the groove (18) as indicated by the chain line.
Figure 4 illustrates a step of processes in series for turning up the main body of the blank at the point A
by amploying an upper die (21) and a lower die (22) so 25 as to displace the aforementioned cylindrical knuckle :
part (6) thus rolled up in a circular shape within the plane of the main body portion (5) for a hinge leaf as shown in Figure 1e. The cylindrical knuckle part (6) is engaged within a semi-circular groove (23) of the lower ~ .
die (22) as indicated by the chain line to render the main - 6 ~

1045~00 body portion of the hinge leaf to be supported at one free end (24) -thereof on a horizontal plane (25) of the lower die (22) 9 thus a clearance (26) is formed between the main body (5) of the hinge leaf and the horizontal plane (25)o ~lhen the main body (5) of the hinge leaf is pushed downward by the upper die (21) at a smooth bottom plane (27) thereof, the main body of the hinge leaf is subjected to be turned up at the point A, however 9 the cylindrical knuckle part (6) is, in this instance~
adapted to be engaged within a recess (28) provided on the upper die (21), to keep it from being crushed down.
Some examples for application of the rod member (3) - to either a hinge pintle or a thrust bearing are illust-rated respectively in Figure 5 - Figure 11.
As for a hinge shown respectively in Figure 5 - ~ .
Figure 7, a portion of a hinge pintle (29) is accommo-dated within the cylindrical knuckle part (6) formed on one leaf (30) of the hinge leaves by means of the method according to the present invention, and a prolonged :
portion (29a) of the hinge pintle is adapted to be inserted into a cylindrical knuckle part (6a) of the other hinge leaf (30a), so that load of the door is not : imparted to act on the hinge pintle but is exerted upon : both contact surfaces (31) and (31a) of the cylindrical knuckle part (6).
As for a hinge shown in Figure 8, a hinge pintle (29) -of one hinge leaf (30) together with a thrust bearing (32) of the other hinge leaf (30a), the bearing being in contact with one end of the hinge pintle, are accommo-30 dated within the cylindrical knuckle parts (6) - (6a) ~ : :

contact surface of the hinge pintle (29) with the ~hrust bearing (32) so as to rotate hinge leaves smoothly.
Moreover, the hinge leaves may be further pivotable more smoothly with the help of, for instance, steel balls (33) provided at one end of the hinge pintle (29) and steel :
bearing discs (34) disposed to be in contact with the steel balls respectively at one end of the thrust bearing so as to set the foregoing hinge pintle and the thrust bearing to a point contact engagement.
As for a hinge shown in Figure 9 - ~igure 11, the thrust bearing (32) and the cylindrical knuckle part (6a) surrounding the thrust bearing are provided in the . middle part on one side edge of the hinge leaf (30a) by means of the method of present invention, while at the upper and the lower ends on one side edge of the other hinge leaf (30) are formed with two cylindrical kmlckle part (6) at an appropriate distance respectively spaced from the former cylindrical knuckle part (6a). ~he above-mentioned two hinge leaves are connected with each other by means of two hinge pintles (29), and each of 25 hinge pintles is adapted to be inserted into the cylin- :
drical knuckle part (6) through the outer end thereof formed on the hinge leaf to be aligned in a row inter- ~ ~
