Definitions
- This invention relates to a hinge suitable, for example, for use in mounting a motor vehicle door.
- the present invention provides a hinge comprising a first leaf having a hinge pin secured thereto, and a second leaf having a hinge pin boss including a bore for receiving the hinge pin to enable relative pivoting of the leaves, characterised in that the hinge pin and the hinge pin boss are adapted to co-operate to permit assembly and separation of the hinge leaves only at a predetermined relative orientation of the leaves.
- the bore opens through an end portion of different cross-section from the remainder of the bore
- the hinge pin carries a head portion linked to the remainder of the pin by a neck portion, the head portion being of substantially the same cross-section as the end portion of the bore so as to be able to pass therethrough at said predetermined orientation, and the neck portion being freely rotatable within the end portion of the bore.
- the neck portion may be cylindrical with a diameter smaller than that of the remainder of the hinge pin, and the head portion then has a width in one plane through the hinge pin axis substantially equal to the hinge pin diameter and a width in a second plane through said axis at right angles to the first plane equal to the diameter of the neck portion.
- the hinge of the invention is simple in construction, but ensures accurate repositioning of the door when removed by separation of the hinges. As mentioned above, such separation is primarily intended to occur during assembly of the vehicle after painting has been completed. At this stage the door is not provided with a door check and so it can swing freely.
- the hinge is provided with a stop to prevent the door opening too far and possibly hitting the surrounding body work.
- the position of the predetermined orientation of the leaves can be chosen to restrain lifting of the door at a position whereat it might hit against the surrounding body during removal. It is therefore possible to carefully control the exact rotational position at which the door may be removed.
- the door In the final stages of assembly of the vehicle, the door is provided with a door check which is arranged to restrain the door from opening sufficiently to reach said predetermined orientation of the leaves so that during the normal sweep of the door the hinge leaves are not separable.
- the hinge has a first leaf 1 which is generally L-shaped in plan and has a cylindrical boss 2 attached to the shorter arm 1 a of the leaf.
- the longer arm 1 b of the leaf has two fixing holes 3 therethrough to enable the leaf to be bolted to the vehicle door mounting pillar.
- the boss 2 extends over approximately half the height of the leaf 1 and has a bore therethrough into which is secured a hinge pin 4 ( Figure 2).
- the hinge pin 4 is secured by interference between a knurled portion 4 a and the bore.
- the second hinge leaf 5 is also generally L-shaped, the longer arm 5 a of the leaf being welded, in use, to the vehicle door.
- the shorter arm 5 b carries a cylindrical hinge pin boss 6 having a bore 7 therethrough.
- the bore 7 is initially drilled as a blind bore, which is opened by milling a slot diametrically across the end face of the boss, the slot intersecting the blind bore.
- the slot 8 has a width less than the diamter of the remainder of the bore.
- a bush 9, which is suitably formed from a lubricant metallised plastics material, is inserted into the opposite end of the bore 7.
- the hinge pin 4 is provided at its free end with a head portion 4 b separated by a neck portion 4 c from the remainder of the pin.
- the neck portion 4 c has a diameter just less than the width of the slot 8 so as to be a close fit therein.
- the head portion 4 b has a width equal to the diameter of the neck portion, while the dimension in a plane through the pin axis perpendicular thereto is equal to the diameter of the remainder of the pin 4.
- the head portion can pass through the bore 7 and through the slot 8 if correctly aligned therewith.
- the slot 8 is milled in a direction relative to the alignment of the longer arm 5 a of the second leaf 5 such that the head portion 4 b of the hinge pin can only pass through the slot when the hinge leaves are in a predetermined relative orientation which for instance could correspond to the fully-open position of the vehicle door.
- the head portion 4 b engages the boss end on either side of the slot 8 and prevents separation of the hinge leaves, the neck portion 4 c permitting rotation.
- the longer arm 5 a of the second leaf 5 of the assembled hinge is welded to the vehicle door, a pair of such hinges being used for each door, in conventional manner.
- the door is then correctly positioned in the vehicle door frame and the first leaf of each hinge is attached to the door pillar by bolts, which are tightened after final adjustment of the position of the door relative to the frame.
- the doors can simply be opened to the correct position to align the head portions 4 b of the pins with the slots 8, and then lifted off for trimming, and to permit finishing of the vehicle body and interior, the first leaves 1 being left undisturbed on the door pillars.
- the hinge In order to prevent the door opening too far and possibly cause damage by hitting the surrounding vehicle body, it is possible to provide the hinge with a stop.
- the stop may take the form of a lug 6 a (shown in dotted lines in Figure 1) formed on hinge pin boss 6 which abuts against shoulder 1 c on hinge leaf 1.
- the doors are repositioned in the reverse of the operation by which they are removed, and their original precise alignment is resumed without the need for further adjustment. A door check is then fitted to the door to restrain the door opening to its open position whereat it can be lifted off the hinge pins.
