Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a return bias type hinge used for a normally closed door.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is desirable that a door of an emergency telephone box on an expressway automatically returns to a closed state after a telephone call is terminated and is held at a closed position. As a method of automatically returning a door to a closed position, there is a method in which a functional component that generates a restoring force such as a small gas damper is incorporated in an opening / closing stay device at an upper portion of the door.

However, in a system incorporating a gas damper, the assembling process is complicated, the entire device becomes large, and the parts cost increases. There is also a method in which a coil spring is fitted on a shaft pin of a hinge, and one linear end of the coil spring contacts the pivot side blade of the hinge, and the other linear end contacts the fixed blade. In some cases, the doors could not be sealed due to the fatigue deterioration of the springs.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a return-biased hinge which simplifies the assembly process, reduces component costs, and is resistant to fatigue deterioration due to repeated use. .

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems Hereinafter, a description will be given using reference numerals in the accompanying drawings. The return biasing type hinge according to the present invention includes a pair of fixed blades 1 and 2 and a pair of shaft pins 3 and 4. A pair of rotating blades 5 and 6 rotatably connected to the fixed blades 1 and 2, and a pair of holder cylinders fixedly mounted on one fixed blade 1 and one rotating blade 6. 7, 8 and both end portions are inserted into holder cylinders 7, 8 and bent portions 10, 1
1 comprises a torsion bar 9 which engages with the rotation stoppers 12, 13 of the holder tubes 7, 8.

In a typical example of the use of the return-biasing hinge configured as described above, a pair of fixed-side wing plates 1 and 2 are vertically arranged opposite to each other and fixed to a fixed frame 14 such as a telephone box. The rotating blades 5, 6 are vertically opposed to each other and fixed to the door 15, and the rotating blades 5, 6 are fixed to the fixed blades 1, 2.
Supported by When the door 15 is in the closed state, the torsion bar 9 is given an initial torsional deformation,
The door 15 is urged to rotate in the closing direction by the elastic restoring force of the torsion bar 9 and is kept in a closed state.

When the door 15 is rotated in the opening direction about the pair of shaft pins 3 and 4, the one end of the fixed blade 1 fixed to the holder cylinder 7 is turned. 6, the torsion bar 9 is twisted and deformed, and the other end of the torsion bar 9 is locked.
With the rotation of 5, the amount of torsional deformation of the torsion bar 9 increases. After the door 15 is opened to the required angle, the door 15 is stopped and held at the open position by the shoulder of the telephone user. After the telephone call, when the telephone user retreats from the telephone box and the telephone user's shoulder is separated from the door 15, the telephone user is urged to rotate in the closing direction by the elastic restoring force of the torsion bar 9, and is again kept in the sealed state. You.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the illustrated embodiment, a pair of upper and lower fixed blades 1, 2 and rotating blades 5, 6 are both made of angle material. One shaft pin 3 is inserted into the through hole 16 of the horizontal plate portion 5a of the upper rotating side blade 5, and the head 3a is fixed to the horizontal plate portion 5a by welding.
The other shaft pin 4 is inserted into the through hole 17 of the horizontal plate portion 2a of the lower fixed-side wing plate 2, and the head 4a is attached to the horizontal plate portion 2a.
It is fixed by welding. The vertical plate portions 1b and 2b of the fixed-side blades 1 and 2 have insertion holes 20 and 2 for fixing screws 18 and 19, respectively.
1 is provided. The fixed blades 1 and 2 are fixed to the screws 18 and 19, respectively.
Is inserted into the receiving hole 22 of the fixed frame 14, and the nut 23 is tightened to be fixed to the fixed frame 14.

[0009] The horizontal plate portion 1a of the upper fixed side blade 1
Is provided with a shaft hole 24 for inserting the shaft pin 3, and the horizontal plate portion 5 a of the rotating blade 5 is placed on the horizontal plate portion 1 a of the fixed blade 1 via a washer 25. The lower horizontal plate portion 6a of the rotary wing plate 6 is provided with a shaft hole 26 for inserting the shaft pin 4, and the horizontal plate portion 6a of the rotary wing plate 6 is fixed to the fixed side blade 2 via a washer 27. Horizontal plate part 2a
It is placed on. Vertical plate portion 5 of rotating side wing plates 5, 6
Insert holes 28 for fixing screws 29 are provided in b and 6b. The rotating blades 5 and 6 insert the screw 29 into the receiving hole 30 of the door 15.
Into the door 1 by tightening the nut 31.
5 is fixed.

[0010] The horizontal plate portion 1a of the upper fixed-side vane plate 1
A holder cylinder 7 is welded and fixed to the lower surface of the shaft pin 3, and a lower end of the shaft pin 3 is inserted into an upper part of the holder cylinder 7. On the peripheral wall portion of the holder cylinder 7, there is formed a vertical groove-shaped rotation stopping portion 12, into which the L-shaped bent portion 10 on the upper side of the torsion bar 9 is engaged. A holder tube 8 is welded and fixed to the upper surface of the horizontal plate portion 6a of the lower rotating blade 6 and the upper end of the shaft pin 4 is inserted into a lower portion of the holder tube 8. On the peripheral wall portion of the holder cylinder 8, there is formed a vertical groove-shaped rotation restraining portion 13, into which the L-shaped bent portion 11 on the lower side of the torsion bar 9 is engaged.

Is fixed.

[0011]

As described above, the return biasing type hinge according to the present invention includes a pair of fixed-side blades 1 and 2 and a pair of shaft pins 3 and 4.
And a torsion bar 9 inserted between the fixed fixed blade 1 and the fixed fixed blade 1 and the fixed fixed blade 1, 6. 9 inserts each end into the holder tube 7 of the fixed-side blade 1 and the holder tube 8 of the rotation-side blade 5, and engages the bent portions 10 and 11 with the rotation stopping portions 12 and 13 of the holder tubes 7 and 8. By doing so, the assembling process is simplified and the cost of parts can be reduced as compared with a gas damper type stay device. The return biasing action is given by the torsional deformation of the torsion bar 9. Since the torsion bar 9 is more resistant to fatigue deterioration due to repeated use than the coil spring type torsion spring, it has excellent durability. This makes it possible to easily obtain the return bias type hinge, and to securely hold the door in a closed state when not in use.
