Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to a hinge having a tamper-proof hinge pin assembly and, more particularly, to a hinge and hinge pin assembly of the tamper-proof type in which the hinge pin can be installed after mounting of the two hinge components to their respective parts, for example a door and a door frame, after the latter have received a surface finish.
  • hinge and hinge pin assemblies are particularly useful in the mounting of doors of transport or shipping containers in a manner rendering them tamper-proof, whilst allowing the door and container to be finished off separately prior to installation of the hinge pin.
  • hinges be tamper-proof so that the doors cannot be removed, together with their seals or locks in position, by unauthorised persons in an effort to gain access to the contents of the container and simply by removal of the hinge pins followed by subsequent replacement thereof.
  • the hinge pin is simply welded in position to a hinge base which forms one of the hinge parts.
  • this welding disturbs the finish, in particular the paint finish of the container and possibly also the door, with undesirable consequences.
  • a hinge assembly comprising a base forming one part of the hinge and having a pair of spaced supporting flanges receiving between them the second hinge part, and a hinge pin supported by the two flanges and passing through the second hinge part, the hinge being characterised in that the hinge pin passes through one flange of the base and only partly through the other flange, the hinge pin being held firmly in engagement with a shoulder formed in said other flange by a fastener extending from the hinge pin to the outside of said other flange, the fastener having external retaining formations and having swaged thereon a ferrule holding the fastener, and thus the hinge pin, in the hinge in tamper-proof manner.
  • fastener to have a screw threaded spigot either integral with the hinge pin or to be secured in a blind screw threaded hole formed axially in the one end of the hinge pin; for the retaining formations to be a series of circumferentially extending grooves or ridges; for the said second part of the hinge to be mounted to the hinge pin through a sleeve; and, for the fastener to be of the swaged tension type more fully described below.
  • a swaged tension fastener is to be interpreted as meaning a fastener which is pulled into tension, and has a ferrule swaged into position in a zone thereof generally having circumferential grooves, the fastener being adapted to snap at a position outside of the ferrule when a predetermined tension is reached.
  • fasteners have been sold and are known under the trade name "HUCK”.
  • the invention also provides transport containers fitted with doors by way of hinge assemblies as defined above.
  • the hinges are particularly adapted for mounting a door 2 to a transport container and, in turn, for mounting a second door (not shown) to the first door in the case where the container is a side opening container.
  • each hinge has a base 3 forming the first part of the hinge, the base 3 being in the form of a casting and having two spaced flanges 4 for supporting a hinge pin 5.
  • the hinge pin 5 passes through a journal 6 at one end of a second hinge part 7 adapted for securing to a door.
  • a self-lubricating plastics bush 8 can be provided between the journal and hinge pin 5.
  • the hinge pin passes through a hole 9 in the one flange 4 and extends into a hole 10 in the other flange which has a step reduction in diameter to form a shoulder 12 within the flange.
  • a fastener 13 extending co-axially from this end of the hinge pin extends out of the flange and is secured in position by a swaged ferrule 14 located on the outside of the flange.
  • the fastener is made as a separate part from the hinge pin and has screw threaded spigot 15 at one end extending into a complimentarily through screw threaded blind hole co-axially orientated in the end of the hinge pin.
  • the remainder 16 of the length of the fastener has circumferentially extending grooves in its outer surface so that the grooves can be firmly engaged by the ferrule 14 when it is swaged onto the fastener.
  • the base can be welded or otherwise secured to a door frame or surround in the correct location and the container and door frame or the like can be finished off as required with the first part of the hinge in its operative position.
  • the second hinge part 7 can be secured by welding or in any other way to the door of the container and the door can then be finished off as may be required by painting, coating or the like.
  • the second hinge parts When it is desired to assemble the hinge in order to mount the door to the container, the second hinge parts, with the bushes already in situ, are located in their respective positions between the flanges of the respective base parts of the hinge.
  • a hinge pin is then introduced through the one flange so that it extends through the journal of the second hinge part and the fastener extends out of the other flange through the reduced diameter portion of the hole 11. The end of the hinge pin abuts against the shoulder 12.
  • the fastener 13 is of the type illustrated in Figure 4 wherein the zone 16 having the circumferential grooves therein is joined, through a zone 17 of weakening, with a free end portion 18 adapted to be engaged by a gripping device of a swaging tool.
  • a gripping device of a swaging tool Such an arrangement is similar to that of the swaged tension bolts widely sold under the trade name "HUCK".
  • the swaging tool is engaged with the end portion 18 and the swaging die located opposite a loose ferrule located over the zone 16 having the circumferential grooves. Tension is then applied to the fastener by means of the tool and, simultaneously, the swaging die swages the ferrule 14 firmly onto the shank 16 of the fastener. Tension is continuously applied until the shank severs at the zone 17 of weakening in known manner.
  • the hinge pin is firmly secured in position and cannot be removed, at least in a manner which will not be detected. This renders the hinge substantially tamper-proof and yet extremely easily assembled after the door and door frame or surround associated with the two parts have been separately finished off with the parts already secured thereto.
  • hinge pin and fastener could be made integral thereby avoiding any remote chance that the screw threaded part of the fastener extending into the hinge pin could become unscrewed from the hinge pin.
  • the fastener could be locked permanently to the hinge pin in any sort of way for example, by passing a pin transversely through the hinge pin and fastener towards the end of the hinge pin.
