Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hinge for pivotally securing a door to a furniture or the like.
  • a hinge of this type a so-called one-touch hinge in which a socket attached to the hanging base of a door and a hinge body associated with a movable plate for movably adjusting a door attaching position longitudinally and laterally, etc. are rotatably openably coupled by one or more arms, etc. to a hinge member, and a plate member attached to the inner surface of a side plate of a box body is detachably connected.
  • Typical hinges are disclosed at present in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 500601/1987, Japanese Utility Model Laid-open No. 154175/1987, and Japanese Patent Laid-open NO. 121288/1987.
  • the detachability of the above-mentioned various hinges i.e., the detachability of the hinge member to the plate member can be largely sorted to two ways.
  • the one way is, as shown in Figs. 8(A) and 8(B), constructed that a hinge member a and a plate member b are engaged at the front end c or the rear end d, pivotally rotated at the end as a center, and both as then locked.
  • the other way is, as shown in Fig. 9, constructed in such a manner that a hinge member a is slid parallel to a plate member b (or the hinge member a is inserted into the plate member b, or the plate member b is inserted to the hinge member a) to be locked.
  • a pair of engaging mechanism e and a detaching mechanism f are respectively provided at the front ends c or the rear ends d of the hinge member a and the plate member b.
  • a plurality of hinge members a,.., attached to a door g must be always attached simultaneously to a plurality of plate members b,.., attached to the attaching member h of the door g, such as a box, etc., as shown in Figs. 10 to 12.
  • the attaching pitches p of the hinge member a and the plate member b are wide, they can be forcibly attached, but if the attaching pitches p of the members a and b are narrow, as illustrated in Fig. 11, they cannot be attached until they are simultaneously inserted.
  • an object of this invention is to provide a one-touch hinge which can eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and in which a hinge member and a plate member can be easily attached from any direction of wide range, can be positively attached, can also be simply detached, and the sole hinge can be also attached and detached.
  • a hinge having a hinge member including a socket attached to a door and a hinge body so coupled rotatably openably through arms, and a plate member detachably connected to the hinge member to be attached to the attaching member of the door comprising latches provided at least at the front and rear portions of either the hinge member or the plate member, and a locking member having hook portions formed with latch pieces for detachably latching the latches by connecting portions formed corresponding to the members at the front and rear portions of the other member to be longitudinally slidably and urged forward by a spring in such a manner that the ends of the latch pieces of the latches are formed on oblique surfaces thereof to lower toward the forward direction thereof.
  • a hinge as claimed in claim 1, wherein the locking member is longitudinally slidably by a lever, and urged forward by a spring provided at the lever.
  • the hinge when the hinge member attached to the door is pressed at an arbitrary angle from the front or from a wide range, such as a perpendicular direction to the plate member attached to the attaching member of the door, two front and rear latch pins are projected to the oblique surfaces of the ends of the latch pieces, the locking member urged forward by the spring is slid rearward against the tension of the spring, the two latch pins are engaged with the front and rear hook portions, the locking member is simultaneously slid forward by the spring, the latches are latched to the hook portions, both the members are locked, and the locking member is always applied by a force to hold it in a locking state by the spring. Thus, both the members are not released from locking.
  • the locking member When the locking member is slid rearward in the locking state by using a screwdriver or pliers against the tension of the spring or rotating the lever by the end of the finger in a predetermined direction as claimed in claim 2, the latches are released from locking, the hinge member can be removed from the plate member, and the hinge member can be detached by the rotating trace of the hinge body at the socket as a center in the door opening state.
  • hinge member means 1 comprises a socket 2, a hinge body 3, and a movable plate 4.
  • the socket 2 and the front end of the hinge body 3 are pivotally connected openably by rotating through two bent arms 5 and 6 by pins 7, 7 and 8, 8, and the socket 2 and the hinge body 3 are urged by a spring, not shown, externally mounted on the shaft 9 of the hinge body 3 in opening or closing direction over the the dead point of the spring.
  • the hinge body 3 and the movable plate 4 are formed in lateral cross-section in a similar form of substantially U-shape to be engaged with one another, inserted into a long hole 10 perforated longitudinally at the rear end of the top wall 3a of the hinge body 3, the hinge body 3 is further so secured to the movable plate 4 by a longitudinally adjusting and body clamping screw 12 to be screwed within the threaded hole 11 of the rear end of the movable plate 4 as to be movably adjustable in the longitudinal directions with respect to the movable plate 4, engaged with a threaded hole 13 protruded from the front end thereof at the top wall 3a of the hinge body 3, and the neck 14a of the end of a laterally adjusting screw 14 engaged slidably with a long groove 15 formed longitudinally is supported at the front end of the movable plate 4 by the forward and reverse movements of the screw 14 in such a manner that the hinge body 3 is movably adjustably in the lateral direction (lateral direction of the door) with respect to the hinge body
