Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hinge suitable, for example, for use in mounting a motor vehicle door.
  • a hinge comprising a first hinge leaf having a hinge pin and a second leaf having a hinge pin boss which includes a bore for receiving the hinge pin.
  • the hinge pin and 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 pin is provided with a radially projecting lug and one end of the bore includes a recess to permit axial passage of the lug.
  • a hinge comprising a first leaf having a hinge pin and a second leaf having a hinge pin boss including a bore for receiving the hinge pin to enable relative pivoting of the leaves, the bore opening through an end portion of different cross-section from the remainder of the bore, and the hinge pin carrying 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 a predetermined orientation of the leaves to permit assembly and separation of the hinge leaves at said relative orientation only, the neck portion being freely rotatable within the end portion of the bore, and the neck portion being cylindrical with a diameter smaller than that of the remainder of the hinge pin, characterised in that the head portion 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 1a of the leaf.
  • the longer arm 1b 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 4a and the bore.
  • the second hinge leaf 5 is also generally L-shaped, the longer arm 5a of the leaf being welded, in use, to the vehicle door.
  • the shorter arm ELb 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.
  • the hinge pin 4 is provided at its free end with a head portion 4_b separated by a neck portion 4c from the remainder of the pin.
  • the neck portion 4c has a diameter just less than the width of the slot 8 so as to be a close fit therein.
  • the head portion 4j j 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 5a of the second leaf 5 such that the head portion 4Q 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 4b engages the boss end on either side of the slot 8 and prevents separation of the hinge leaves, the neck portion 4c permitting rotation.
  • the longer arm 5a 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 4b 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 ELa (shown in dotted lines in Figure 1) formed on hinge pin boss 6 which abuts against shoulder 1c 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.

1. Charnière comprenant un premier volet (1) comportant un axe de chamière (4) et un second volet (5) comportant un bossage d'axe de charnière comprenant un alésage (7) pour recevoir l'axe de charnière et permettre le pivotement relatif des volets, l'alésage (7) s'ouvrant par une portion d'extrémité (8) de section transversale différente du reste de l'alésage, et l'axe de charnière (4) portant une portion de tête (4b) reliée au reste de l'axe par une portion de collet (4c), la portion de tête étant de section transversale sensiblement identique à la portion d'extrémité de l'alésage de façon à pouvoir le traverser dans une orientation prédéterminée des volets pour permettre l'assemblage et la séparation des volets de charnière uniquement dans cette orientation relative, la portion de collet étant librement rotative dans la portion d'extrémité de l'alésage et la portion de collet (4c) étant cylindrique avec un diamètre inférieur à celui du reste de l'axe de charnière, caractérisée en ce que la portion de tête (4b) présente une largeur dans un plan à travers l'axe géométrique de l'axe mécanique de la charnière sensiblement égale au diamètre de l'axe de chamière et une largeur dans un second plan à travers cet axe à angle droit par rapport au premier plan égale au diamètre de la portion de collet.
