Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinge with a housing part and a cover part, which is movably, preferably rotatably mounted on the housing part.
  • Such hinges are already known. They have two parts, the relative mutually movable (for example in the form of a four-bar linkage), preferably are rotatable.
  • One of the two parts can be used as a housing part or hinge housing
  • the other part can be referred to as a cover part or as a movable part Hinge part are called.
  • the housing part can be fixed Part of a piece of furniture (i.e. the furniture body) or a device, for example a freezer.
  • the cover part can be moved Part of a piece of furniture (for example a furniture door) or with the movable one Part of a device, for example the lid of a freezer, to be connected.
  • a known hinge for a freezer which is shown in Fig. 8, is the housing part 1 is connected by screws 2 to a freezer 17. That on the housing part 1 on an axis of rotation 3 rotatably mounted cover part 4 must additional screws 5, 6 are connected to the lid 7 of the freezer.
  • the hinge comprises a compression spring 8, the lower end of which is on a spring plate 9 rests, which has a recess in its center, with which it is located on a projection 10 of the housing part 1 supports.
  • the upper end of the compression spring 8 supports itself on a collar 11, which is provided on a spring rod 12, which on her Upper end has a recess 13 with which it is attached to one on the cover part 4 provided axis 14 rests.
  • the axis 14 is at a distance from the axis of rotation 3. It is also provided along one in the housing part 1 Guideway 15, which is formed by a recess 16 and which are in the Side walls of the housing part 1 is displaceable.
  • the ends of the recess 16 form stops for the axis 14, the possibility of rotary movement the axis of rotation 3 is limited in this way, in the example of FIG. 8 to something more than 90 °.
  • the arrangement is such that the hinge through Compression spring 8 is closed over the neutral point.
  • the axis 14 is located 8 slightly to the left, ie outside, of the connecting line between the point of contact of the central recess of the spring plate 9 on the projection 10 and the axis of rotation 3. In the position shown in Fig. 8 the compression spring 8 presses the axis 14 against the left, forming a stop End of the recess 16 so that the hinge by the action of the compression spring 8th remains stable in the position shown in Fig. 8.
  • the hinge is delivered in the stable position shown in FIG. 8. It is then in the assembly position with the spring tensioned. To make sure that the hinge does not snap open and the discharge of the spring tension increases Is the hinge in the manner described and in the Fig. 8 shown type closed about the neutral point. However, this has the Disadvantage that the lower screw 6, with which the cover part 4 is attached to the cover 7 is to project in the manner shown in Fig. 8, so that the lower Screw 6 is difficult to assemble. Furthermore, when tightening the screw connection 6 the lid 7 is used. To be able to carry out this assembly The lid 7 must therefore be displaceable on the chest body 17 in order to be in the final position Position to come. For the same reason there is also a vertical shift instead, so that the lower mounting screws 6 of the cover part can only be tightened in a second step.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a hinge of the type specified in the introduction, that can be assembled more easily.
  • this object is achieved in that on the housing part or a securing part is provided on the cover part, through which the relative Position of both parts (i.e. the housing part and the cover part) is fixed.
  • the housing part and the cover part are preferably in the assembly position fixed relative to each other. Housing part and cover part can then work properly to be assembled.
  • the hinge shown in Fig. 8 occurs as described above Disadvantages not on.
  • the securing part is preferably provided on the housing part. However, it can also be arranged on the cover part.
  • one of the two parts housing part or cover part
  • a tension spring is provided. It is preferably a compression spring. Through the tension spring or compression spring is on the housing part and cover part a force moving these two parts relative to each other exercised.
  • the tension spring or compression spring can be provided on the housing part of the hinge his. However, it is also possible to provide them on the cover part. Further a further part can be provided, for example a spring rod or any other part through which is exerted by the tension spring or compression spring Force is exerted on the housing part and / or the cover part.
  • the securing part is preferably made of plastic.

So if the securing part on the The housing part is provided, the counter toothing is located on the cover part or part of the cover part. If the securing part is provided on the cover part is the toothing on the housing part or part of the Housing part. Through the engagement of the toothing in the counter toothing relative position of the housing part and the cover part fixed.
  • the toothing consists of at least one tooth.
  • a tooth can be understood any part of the security part that by the interaction with a corresponding other, a counter-toothing forming part of a fixation or anti-rotation or other movement protection forms.
  • the tooth may be a protrusion act, and in the counter toothing by a corresponding recess.
  • toothing can also comprise several teeth, the teeth of Projections can be formed.

  • Securing part has the shape of a polygon, preferably the shape of a regular one Polygons, preferably in the shape of a square.
  • the toothing is provided on several sides of the polygon, preferably on all sides. If the securing part as a regular polygon is formed, it can be used several times by twisting.
  • That part of the securing part is or are preferably those parts of the Security part that fix the hinge, destructible.
  • This part or parts for example one or more teeth can be kinked or broken off.
  • the part or parts of the securing part that fix the hinge are preferably its tooth or teeth, dimensioned such that they destroyed by a manual, for example first actuation of the hinge become.
  • the securing part fulfills its Function to fix the relative position of the parts of the hinge. After that, the now no longer required parts of the securing part causing the fixation destroyed by manual operation of the hinge.
  • the destructible parts of the securing part are preferably small. You are preferred so small that they operate the hinge after their destruction do not bother. If the parts causing the fixation can be broken off, they are preferably so small that they do not interfere with the hinge mechanism being able to lead.
