Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a split hinge for vehicle doors, swing doors and the like.
  • hinges are also used to connect to the bodywork the swing doors that close the rear part of the vehicle.
  • pre-assembled hinges are known and commonly used and include a part on the bodywork side and a part on the door side.
  • the use of such hinges leaves space to some drawbacks in particular in the assembly line during the assembly step, namely harness, of the vehicle along the assembly and painting line.
  • the hinge is provided already assembled and is fixed on the door using connection means such as screws or bolts, through special slots made in the hinge element on the door side, afterwards the door is fixed on the vehicle associating the hinge element on the vehicle side to the vehicle body shell in correspondence to the door compartment.
  • the main task of the present invention is to provide a hinge suitable to overcome the drawbacks left unsolved by the hinges of the type known.
  • the aim of the present invention is in particular to provide a hinge which allows the quick assembling and disassembling of the door from the vehicle body shell.
  • a hinge for vehicle doors or swing doors especially for vehicles that is characterized in that it is made by various parts that can be easily assembled.
  • the hinge according to the present invention is characterized in that it includes at least two parts articulated between them by means of a cylindrical articulated joint, and at least a further element decoupleable from them and suitable for being directly connected to the vehicle door.
  • the hinge according to the present invention includes a first hinge element A suitable for being connected to the vehicle body shell by means of first connection means to the body shell.
  • Said first hinge element A is in its turn made by a first shaped plate A1 suitable for being directly connected, by means of said first connection means, to the vehicle body shell, and by a second shaped plate A2.
  • the two shaped plates A1 and A2 are interconnected by a hinge or cylindrical articulated joint S, which includes a pivot S1 whose axis defines the axis of rotation of the cylindrical hinge, namely the axis of relative rotation of the two plates A1 and A2.
  • the pivot S1 holds the two plates A1 and A2 which are inserted on said pivot by means of appropriate clearance holes according to what is known in the art.
  • Said first connection means of the first shaped plate A1 to the body shell may in particular include one or more clearance holes suitable for allowing screws or similar components to be inserted.
  • the second plate A2 is then suitable for being connected, by means of second connection means, to a bracket B which is in its turn suitable for being connected to the vehicle door by means of fastening slots F appropriately present and suitable to accommodate retaining means of the type known such as screws, pivots or bolts.
  • Said second connection means which connect said bracket B with said second shaped plate A2 may suitably include one or more clearance holes b obtained on said bracket B and suitable to accommodate screws or pivots C, shown for example in figure 3 .
  • Such screws or pivots will have a hexagon in relief to guarantee the disassembling after painting.
  • Such screws or pivots can be considered as "temporary", because they will be replaced by flathead screws with thread braking during the re-assembling.
  • said screws or pivots C suitable for fixing said bracket B to the second shaped plate A2 may preferably be made by torx screws, preferably flathead torx screws.
  • torx screws preferably flathead torx screws.
  • Such holes and screws are crucial to guarantee the realignment of the hinge / door after the disassembling.
  • bracket B and said second shaped plate A2 have a non-flat profile, preferably trapezoidal, with a central splay defining a groove which facilitates the alignment for the repositioning of the parts in the assembling step. Therefore the cross profile of bracket B is suitable to be inserted and to perfectly match with the profile of the second plate A2.
  • bracket B which is firmly connected to the vehicle door
  • the disassembling of the vehicle door or of the swing door from the vehicle body shell before the vehicle harnessing step can be very easily done, by operating exclusively on the screws C, therefore leaving bracket B assembled on the door and disconnecting the bracket itself from the second plate A2, and then from the rest of the hinge which remains connected to the vehicle.
  • This possibility given by the present invention allows to carry out the cataphoresis and painting steps, with all the bodywork parts, doors included, assembled to the vehicle, while it is possible to disassemble the doors from the vehicle body shell in preparation for the harnessing steps, only by operating on the screws C.
  • the doors can be reassembled and can be easily find aligned thanks to the cross trapezoidal profiles of bracket B and of second plate A2.
  • the hinge according to the present invention allows to have a part that can be directly assembled to the vehicle body shell and a decoupleable bracket which can be fixed to the vehicle door or swing door so that the door disassembling after the painting step and before the harnessing step of the vehicle proves to be extremely simplified.
  • the hinge according to the present invention is perfectly interchangeable with the non-decoupleable hinges of the type known, therefore it can be employed also as a spare part.
