Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slide hinge also referred to as a concealed hinge which is used for opening and closing a door in furniture such as cabinets intended for use in common households or offices; the invention also relates to a cabinet using such a slide hinge.
  • the furniture as above described, and in particular cabinet commonly uses a slide hinge structured as described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2003-367 or Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3090408 .
  • the publicly known slide hinge of this sort basically comprises a slide hinge main body attached to a cabinet main body so as to be adjustable relative to the latter in a slidable manner, a coupling case housed in attaching holes provided on the door side and fixed into the hole using attaching screws, and a coupling piece for coupling the coupling case to the hinge main body.
  • a conventional slide hinge as above described includes a coupling case attached to a door of wooden solid material, attaching screws well fasten the coupling case onto the door, so that the door will not easily escape from the coupling case; in recent years however, a different type of doors is increasingly used, wherein the door comprises a core, e.g. honeycomb cardboard, on which attaching screws do not work well, and thin dressing boards stuck onto the both surfaces of the core.
  • a core e.g. honeycomb cardboard
  • the slide hinge according to the previous application has an excellent structure in that the coupling case of the slide hinge can be attached to a honeycomb board in a single operation with no use of attaching screws, etc., but in case of the coupling case and the attaching means made of synthetic resin, there is still a fear in terms of strength, thus it is necessary to use an expensive resin material or a case of thick material, so that the product as a whole is expensive or the coupling case is greater in size. Therefore, countermeasures are required to such a situation.
  • US 2014/096343 A1 discloses a slide hinge comprising a slide hinge main body, a coupling case of synthetic resin, and a coupling piece for openably and closably connecting said slide hinge main body and said coupling case via a hinge pin, wherein an attaching means is provided which is composed of a pair of attaching case portions continuously provided integrally with both side portions of the coupling case, and of diameter enlarging means provided in each of the attaching case portions.
  • a further slide hinge is known, e.g., from US 4 270 240 A .
  • An object of the invention is therefore to provide a slide hinge configured such that a coupling case can be attached to a honeycomb board in a single operation, wherein a fear of problems in terms of strength is eliminated, even if a coupling case composed of the coupling case and the attaching means are made of synthetic resin, as well as a cabinet using such a slide hinge.
  • the invention provides a slide hinge according to claim 1.
  • a slide hinge comprises a slide hinge main body attached to a cabinet main body, a coupling case inserted into and fixed to an attaching hole provided on a door, and a coupling piece for openably and closably coupling the cabinet main body and the coupling case via a hinge pin, wherein, in inserting and fixing the coupling case to an attaching hole provided on the side of the door made up of honeycomb cardboard, on which screws do not work, attaching case portions also made up of synthetic resin are connected with both sides of the coupling piece, diameter enlarging means are provided in the attaching case portions, and a reinforcing frame body is provided by inserting the hinge pin into the coupling case; in this manner, the coupling case can be firmly fixed to the attaching hole with no use of attaching screws and nails, so that a risk of escape following attachment is eliminated; furthermore, the strength of the coupling case can be enhanced by the reinforcing frame body, as well as
  • stopper means of each of locking plates move together with a rotation of operating plates to stop the rotation of the operating plates; in this manner, the rotation of pressurizing portions can be stopped when each claw portion of each of locking pieces bites into a circumferential wall of the connecting hole, so that it is possible to prevent the pressurizing portions from excessively rotating.
  • the invention is constructed as in claim 5, it has the operation and effect that the claw portion of the locking piece is not an obstacle to mounting the attaching case portion to the connecting hole.
  • the invention is constructed as in claim 6, it has the operation and effect that the strength of a coupling case can be enhanced by a reinforcing frame body, as well as a durability of a slide hinge, in a simple structure.
  • any of the above-mentioned inventions is applicable to a cabinet comprising the coupling case of the slide hinge attached on a cabinet main body using a board, wherein the board is made up of thin dressing boards being stuck onto the both surfaces of the honeycomb cardboard core.
  • the honeycomb door can be easily and firmly attached to the cabinet main body.
  • attaching means 6a, 6b are provided on a coupling case 5 side of a slide hinge 1, wherein the attaching means 6a, 6b and the coupling case 5 are both made of synthetic resin, and a third hinge pin 7c and a fourth hinge pin 7d are inserted through the coupling case 5 to attach a reinforcing frame body thereto; in this manner, these best modes ensure that the coupling case 5 can be fixed to a door 2b side or to a cabinet main body 2a side even without using attaching screws, so that a reinforcing effect of the coupling case can be enhanced, as well as its durability.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a cabinet 2 to which a slide hinge 1 according to the invention is attached.
  • the slide hinge 1 according to the invention is also commonly referred to as concealed hinge and attached between a door 2b side and a cabinet main body 2a side of the cabinet 2. As shown in FIGS.

  • the coupling case 5 is inserted into and fixed to the attaching hole 2c in a single operation using the attaching means 6a, 6b, so that it is possible that the coupling case 5 is attached, with no use of nails and attaching screws, etc., to a door 2b, on which such nails and attaching screws do not work, the durability of the coupling case 5 is enhanced by the reinforcing frame body 10.
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 show a state of a slide hinge 1 attached to a cabinet 2, and especially as shown in FIG. 2 , a slide hinge main body 3 is detachably attached to a catch 11 (though detailed explanation is not made here) attached to a cabinet main body 2a side, and the coupling case 5 can be attached to the attaching hole 2c provided on the door 2b side, as well as to connecting holes 2d, 2e in a single operation via the attaching means 6a, 6b.
  • the coupling case 5 is housed in the attaching hole 2c provided on the door 2b side, and the attaching means 6a, 6b connected with the coupling case 5 are inserted into the connecting holes 2d, 2e provided in communication with the attaching hole 2c at its upper and lower positions, and thus the attaching means 6a, 6b are fixed to the connecting holes 2d, 2e in a single operation; in this manner, the coupling case 5 is fixed to the door 2b in a single operation.
  • the slide hinge main body 3 is shown as the one attachable and detachable in a single operation to the catch 11, but it can be also constructed so as to be attachable to the cabinet main body 2a side using attaching screws not shown.
