Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a hinge, and in particular, to a hinge providing two pivot axes for two degrees of movement and greater range of motion.
  • Enclosures utilize hinges on covers or doors to provide access to the interior of the enclosure. Hinges often mount along the side of the enclosure so that the door does not close under its own weight. It can be appreciated that a device for preventing an enclosure door from closing and swinging freely would be advantageous to provide access to the interior of the enclosure for an extended period of time. Normal door and hinge construction often do not have closure devices and the balance and weight of the door prevent accidental closure. However, in some instances, it may be advantageous to have a door that includes a structural stop that allows opening and closing, but requires greater force to close so that the door may be held in an open position. This is especially important in outdoor conditions where wind may engage the planar surface area of the door and tend to open or close a door.
  • a hinge system with a wide range of motion is known from GB 413 393 A , which shows a hinge mechanism with two rotation axes and a lever between the axes.
  • the lever is rotated around the first pivot pin.
  • a mounting plate mounted to the window cover is rotated around a second pivot pin mounted on the far end of the lever of the hinge mechanism.
  • the disadvantage of this mechanism is that even in the open position of the window cover parts of the window cover would cover the window frame.
  • a further disadvantage is that a high leverage expresses to the pivot elements and the pivot axes of the mechanism due to the longitudinal extension of the lever. Further, this hinge mechanism needs a relatively large space to be mounted on the window cover and the window frame.
  • the present invention relates to a hinge, and in particular to a compound hinge, that provides two axes of rotation and a wide range of motion between the hinged elements.
  • the compound hinge includes a first base hinge link mounting to a first element.
  • the first link includes raised knuckle portions for receiving a hinge pin therethrough.
  • the base portion has recesses formed therein for receiving mounting devices such as screws or bolts for attachment to the first element.
  • Intermediate the knuckles are arcing surfaces configured for receiving and aligning lug portions of a second link.
  • the receiving portions are proximate a pair of opposed stop members that flex slightly and are flexed when pushed by the corresponding lugs.
  • the stop portions act as a toggle to retain the hinge in position.
  • the knuckles may also include stop portions for positioning the second link relative to the first link.
  • a second link includes two sets of knuckles for receiving hinge pins.
  • the first knuckle is configured for aligning with and having orifices coaxial with the knuckles of the first link.
  • the second link is aligned so that the first set of knuckles and second set of knuckles are parallel with lugs extending substantially perpendicular to and aligned with the axes of the knuckles.
  • the lugs are configured to extend into the receiving portions of the first link.
  • the first knuckle is aligned with the knuckles of the first element and the second set of knuckles on the second link receive the pin for attaching to the second element. In this manner, the second link is hinged relative to the first link and the second link is also hinged relative to the second element.
  • the first knuckle also includes complementary stop portions cooperating with the stop portions of the knuckles of the first link to limit relative rotation.
  • the knuckles may also form a toggle device in one embodiment, providing further rotational resistance at a predetermined rotational position.
  • the lugs When assembled, the lugs engage the receiving surface and are held in place by the stop portions of the base on the first link member. As the cover or door is opened and rotated relative to a second link, it will reach its full range of motion, but it will be possible to open the door further relative to the first element, such as a housing. At this point, continued rotation will press the lugs against the stop elements and cause the stop elements to flex slightly until the lugs push beyond the stop elements. The second hinge member is then free to rotate relative to the first hinge member and an additional range of rotation is achieved.
  • the second element rotates relative to the second hinge member, wherein the complementary stop portions engage and resist rotation.
  • further rotation of the second element causes the lugs to flex the stop elements and allow the lugs to push past the stop portions and return to the original position.
  • the arrangement of the present invention provides a simple, reliable hinge that provides a wide range of motion.
  • the toggling effect from the lugs engaging the stop elements act as a retainer to hold the door in either the opened or closed position.
  • the door can be easily closed.
  • the present invention is easy to assemble and can be retrofitted to other existing door and enclosures.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a portion of an enclosure 20 having a compound hinge 22 .
  • the hinge 22 pivotally connects a cover or door 26 to a housing 24 .
  • the compound hinge 22 provides two separate axes of rotation, providing a greater range of motion and freedom of movement between the door 26 and the housing 24 .
  • the door 26 is shown in greater detail.
  • the door typically includes bracing around the periphery thereof, the door forms a channel 42 receiving a gasket 44 , as shown in Figure 10, for forming a seal with the housing 24 , as shown in Figure 1.
  • the cover includes recesses 46 formed along one edge of the door 26 for mounting the hinge 22 and aligned bores 48 for receiving a hinge pin 28 (not shown in Figure 9) for providing pivotal movement between the hinge 22 and the door 26 .
  • a latch 40 is along the opposite edge of the door 26 .
  • the housing 24 may be a molded monolithic element, it may include a collar 30 forming a rectangular opening fitting against upper edges of sides of the housing 24 , as shown in Figure 12.
  • the collar 30 includes an inner ridge 32 that extends upward and engages the gasket 44 in the closed position, as shown in Figure 1.
  • the collar 30 also may include mounting holes 38 and alignment studs 34 that engage the base of the first link member, as explained hereinafter.
  • the collar 30 also forms a channel 36 that inserts over the top of the wall edges of the housing 24 .
  • the first link member 50 includes a base portion 52 having a pair of mounting holes 58 formed therethrough.
  • the mounting holes 58 are aligned even with first hinge knuckles 54 that are coaxially aligned to receive a hinge pin 28 .
  • the first knuckles 54 include stop portions 56 of about 90 degrees. The radially extending end surfaces of the stop portions 56 cooperate with complementary surfaces on a second link member, as explained hereinafter.
  • Intermediate the first knuckles 54 are lug receiving recesses 60 formed in the base portion 52 .
  • the lug receiving recesses 60 are receive the corresponding lugs of the second link, as explained hereinafter.
  • Stop fingers 62 are spaced apart from the lug receiving recesses 60 .
  • the stop fingers 62 act as a surface engaging the lugs. With spaces on both sides of the fingers 62 and with the fingers being attached at only one end, the fingers 62 flex, allowing the lugs to toggle so that the second link may rotate, as explained hereinafter.
  • a second link member 70 is shown that is configured for pivotally mounting, as shown in Figures 1-4, to the door 26 and the first link member 50 .
  • the second link member 70 includes a second knuckle 72 , third knuckles 74 and lug portions 76 .
  • the second knuckle 72 includes a bore 88 formed therethrough and is configured to receive a hinge pin 28 for pivotally mounting to the cover 26 .
  • the second knuckle 72 includes an arcing surface 78 to provide clearance during rotation relative to the cover 26 . Ends of the second knuckle 72 include stop portions 92 of approximately 90 degrees. The radial end surfaces of the stops 92 are complementary to and cooperate with the ends of the stop portions 56 .
  • third knuckles 74 include an arcing outer surface 82 providing for rotation relative to the base 52 of the first link member 50 .
  • the third barrel 74 also includes a bore 90 receiving a hinge pin for connection to the first knuckle 54 of the first link member 50 .
  • Extending downward from the lower portion of the third barrel 74 are the lugs 76 .
  • the lugs 76 include a camming surface 84 forming a corner 86 .
  • the lugs 76 are spaced and configured for inserting into the recesses 60 on the first link member 50 .
  • the second link member 70 is aligned relative to the first link member 50 by the corner portion 86 of the lugs 76 engaging the corresponding stop fingers 62 .
  • the rotation can be accomplished by the lugs 76 pushing against the stop members 62 until the fingers 62 flex and allow rotation.
  • the camming surface 84 rotates, sliding against the flexed associated stop finger 62 .
  • the cover 26 is shut against the housing 24 so that the gasket 44 presses against the ridge 32 of the collar 30 to form a seal.
  • the second link 70 is in a substantially vertical position with the camming surface 84 of the lug 76 resting against the lug engaging surfaces 60 .
  • the corners 86 of the lugs 76 rest against the stop finger 62 of the first link member 50 .
  • the cover 26 rotates relative to the second link member 70 , which remains stationary from the closed position.
  • the resistance of the fingers 62 engaging the lugs 76 prevents rotation of the second link member 70 relative to the first link member 50 while the cover 26 rotates with less resistance.
  • the cover 26 reaches its maximum range of motion relative to the second link member 70 at approximately 180 degrees of travel by the outer edge of the recessed portion 46 of the cover 26 engaging the outer side of the second link 70 . Further rotation of the cover 26 relative to the second link member 70 is not possible so that in normal use, the cover 26 tends to stay at the position shown in Figure 2. Further rotational force applied to the cover 26 tends to rotate the second link member 70 in a counter clockwise direction, as shown in Figure 2. This pressure causes a torque around the hinge pin 28 extending through the first and second knuckles, applying pressure against the fingers 62 .
  • the hinge 20 passes through a toggle point until the cover 26 reaches the position shown in Figure 3. This provides approximately a 270 degree range of motion.
  • the cover 26 is substantially parallel to and extending along the edge of the housing 24 so that there can be almost no effect from wind catching the door and closing it.
  • FIG. 120 there is shown a second embodiment of a compound hinge, generally designated 120 , in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
  • the compound hinge 120 is similar to the hinge 20 , except that a toggle device 180 is added to provide more rotational resistance for holding the hinge in a predetermined position.
  • the toggle device 180 includes a recess 182 formed in a first knuckle 154 of a first hinge member 150 , and a second knuckle 172 of a second hinge member 170 .
  • the arcing periphery of the first knuckle 154 , or the complementary surface of the second knuckle 172 includes a raised flange portion 184 which is configured for extending partially into a complementary recess 182 in the other of the first knuckle 154 or second knuckle 174 at the toggle position.
  • the first and second knuckles 154 and 172 When the toggle device 180 is engaged, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the first and second knuckles 154 and 172 have greater resistance to relative rotation. As the cover 26 is rotated about the second hinge member 170 , the first and second knuckles 154 and 172 have a mechanical stop which prevents the first hinge member 150 and second hinge member 170 from rotating relative to one another. Further rotation requires slightly more effort to disengage the toggle assembly 180 and allow rotation between the first hinge member 150 and the second hinge member 170 . As shown in Figure 18, the flange portion 184 may be molded into the second knuckle 172 .
  • the second knuckle 172 may include a recess 186 with a pin member 188 extended into both the recess 182 and the recess 186 .
  • the pin member 188 also provides resistance and the same toggle effect.
  • the toggle assembly 180 provides proper resistance so that the hinge 120 may be held in a predetermined position.
  • the toggle assembly 180 is shown at the apex of the first knuckle 154 , it can be appreciated that, if a toggle position is required at a different location along the range of rotation, it may be easily moved.
  • the recess 182 and raised portion 184 may be reversed while still achieving the desired toggle effect.
  • the design of the present invention provides a simple hinge mechanism that allows a 270 degree range of motion.
  • the collar 30 and hinge 20 or 120 provide for retrofitting enclosures to accept such a system.
  • the system also has rotation about a two different axes and fingers that act as a stop member that prevents the door from swinging closed without force sufficient to cause flexure of the fingers 62 . Since the cover 26 rotates about an axis remote from the enclosure housing 24 , the cover does not rub the gaskets, so that a better and longer seal is maintained.
