  • the adjustment screw 70 By turning the adjustment screw 70, the adjustment screw 70 moves back and forth in the horizontal direction D3 with respect to the main hinge member 30. Since the engagement faces 76a and 77a of the adjustment screw 70 are engaged with the engagement parts 29 of the intermediate member 20, the main hinge member 30 rotates about the slide shaft 35 in the horizontal direction D3 as the adjustment screw 70 moves back and forth. Thus, the position of the front end part of the main hinge member 30 is adjusted in the horizontal direction D3, and the position of the door 2 is consequently adjusted in the horizontal direction.

  • the frictional engagement part 85 has its width approximately equivalent to that of the receptacle hole 28 of the intermediate member 20 and is inserted into the receptacle hole 28 displaceably in the anteroposterior direction D1. It enables the positional adjustment of the main hinge member 30 in the anteroposterior direction D1 relative to the intermediate member 20.
  • the frictional engagement part 85 intersects the opening of the intermediate member 20 in the housing space 81a.

  • the second interposing part 82 of the rotation control member 80 is provided with a frictional receptacle hole 82a.
  • the frictional receptacle hole 82a is slightly smaller in diameter than the operational part 61 of the eccentric cam 60.

  • the washer 77 is locked by an annular step 73x on the boundary between the neck part 73 and the washer mounting part 74.
  • the distance D between the step 73x and the engagement face 76a of the inner end part of the male-threaded part 72 is equivalent to the distance between the engagement face 77a of the washer 77 and the engagement face 76a of the inner end part 76 of the male-threaded part 72 and also substantially corresponds to the distance between the abutting parts 29b of the engagement part 29.
  • the frictional engagement part 85 of the rotation control member 80 has a thickness T (dimension from the flat surface on the housing space 81a and the top surface of the convex part 85b in a natural state) that is larger than the distance D.
  • T thickness from the flat surface on the housing space 81a and the top surface of the convex part 85b in a natural state
  • the frictional engagement part 85 is elastically compressively deformed between the engagement faces 76a and 77a.
  • both sides of the frictional engagement part 85 come into contact with the engagement faces 76a, 77a with suppress strength.
  • the rotation of the adjustment screw 70 is controlled with frictional resistance of the frictional engagement part 85 so as to be inhibited from casual rotation after the positional adjustment.
  • the main hinge member 30 and in turn the door 2 can stably keep their adjusted positions in the horizontal direction D3.
  • the thickness between both surfaces except the convex part 85b of the frictional engagement part 85 is slightly greater than the distance L.
  • the thickness of the second interposing part 82 of the rotation control member 80 is greater than a distance between the cam part 62 and the top wall part 31 of the main hinge member 30 determined by inserting the slide shaft 35 into the guide slot 26.
  • the second interposing part 82 is elastically compressed so that the friction acts between the second interposing part 82 and the cam part 62.
  • the eccentric cam 60 is controlled in its rotation with the frictional resistance of the second interposing part 82 so as to be inhibited from casual rotation after the positional adjustment, and thus the main hinge member 30 and in turn the door 2 can stably keep their adjusted positions in the anteroposterior direction D1.
  • the intermediate member 20 can certainly avoid abutting the main hinge member 30 during the positional adjustment in the horizontal direction D3.
  • the female-threaded part 37 is accommodated in the housing space 81a of the first interposing part 81 to reliably prevent its tip from abutting the intermediate member 20, thereby avoiding the eccentric cam 60 from obstructing the positional adjustment in the anteroposterior direction D1.
  • the intermediate member 20 is provided with a female-threaded part 127 that protrudes on the washer side, not shown.
  • the main hinge member 30 has its concave part 135, which is formed on the top wall part 31, provided with a receptacle hole 138 extending in the anteroposterior direction D1, on the opposite sides of the hole 138 an engagement part 139 being disposed.
  • the rotation control member 80 is in the form of plate extending in the anteroposterior direction D1, in which the first and second interposing parts 81 and 82 are coupled together with a step height.
  • the main hinge member 30 of the first interposing part 81 has its surface provided with the frictional engagement part 85 protruding toward the main hinge member 30.
  • the frictional engagement part 85 has an elliptical shape elongated in the anteroposterior direction D1 and accommodated in the receptacle hole 138 of the main hinge member 30.
  • the through hole 85a of the frictional engagement part 85 also has the elliptical shape.
  • convex parts 85b are formed at two positions opposing each other in the vertical direction D2 in the frictional engagement part 85.
  • the frictional engagement part 85 has its sides in the vertical direction D2 provided with the exposure windows 86 adjacent to the frictional engagement part 85.
  • the screw body 71 of the adjustment screw 70 comprises the male-threaded part 72, the neck part 73, the washer mounting part 74 and the crimped part 75, which are disposed in this order from the intermediate member 20 toward the main hinge member 30.
  • the male-threaded part 72 is screwed into the female-threaded part 127 of the intermediate member 20, and the neck part 73 passes through the through hole 85a of the frictional engagement part 85 of the rotation control member 80.
  • the washer 77 is held inside the concave part 135 of the main hinge member 30 so as to be in contact with the outer surface of the engagement part 139.
  • the outer end part 76, or first nip part, of the male-threaded part 72 abuts the inner surface of the engagement part 139, or surface on the intermediate member 20 side, via the exposure window 86.
  • the adjustment screw 70 can be relatively displaced in the anteroposterior direction D1 with respect to the rotation control member 80 and the main hinge member 30, thereby enabling the positional adjustment in the anteroposterior direction D1 of the main hinge member 30 relative to the intermediate member 20.
  • the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention.
  • any types of link mechanism as well as the link mechanisms according to the above-mentioned embodiments may be employed, or the coupling mechanism may be configured by means of one coupling shaft.
  • the base member 5 is composed of the washer 10 and the intermediate member 20 detachably attached to the washer 10, but can be configured by using an integral base member to be fastened to the first subject.
  • the adjustment screw may have integrally formed nip portions with two large diameters without using washers.
  • the engagement part may have a plate shape instead of the specific shape shown in FIG. 11 . In such a case, there will be slight looseness in the engagement between the engagement part and the engagement faces of the pair of nip parts of the adjustment screw.
  • the present invention can be applied to a hinge device and equivalent that couples a door to a furniture main body or a wall of a building.
