Can be removed from the fixed frame.
However, even when the door is closed, it is possible to release the coupling between the movable wing plate and the fixed wing plate, which means that the door is fixed to the fixed frame body by the door lock handle device separately provided on the opposite side of the hinge side by the hinge. This means that the door can be opened without permission even if it is firmly locked.

In the improvement of the above self-closing hinge, the stationary wing plate is provided with a stop projection, the movable side wing plate is provided with a locking projection, and engages with the stop projection at the lower position of the stop projection when the door is closed, while when the door is opened. The stop protrusion and the locking protrusion 14 are arranged so that the engagement between the stop protrusion and the stop protrusion is released (see Patent Document 2).
In this automatic closing type hinge, since the restraining projection and the locking projection are engaged in the door closed state, the movable side blade cannot move upward along the fixed side blade. The movable side blade cannot be separated from the fixed side blade.

  As a result of preventing the separation of the movable side blade plate and the fixed side blade plate by removing the cam follower from the vertical shaft hole of the fixed side blade plate, this time, the sticking of the movable side blade plate and the door is released and the door is removed. Has come to be planned.

  In the conventional self-closing hinge, a pocket portion is recessed on the front side of the movable side blade, and a fixing bolt is inserted from an insertion hole formed in the bottom wall portion of the pocket portion to fix the movable side blade to the door. The head portion of the fixing bolt is concealed by a cover plate having a U-shaped cross section that is fitted into the pocket portion.

  However, the fitting and mounting of this cover plate forms a pair of left and right support wall portions on the front side of the bottom wall portion of the pocket portion, and forms a joint receiving groove portion on the outer surface of the base portion of both support wall portions. Joining hooks are formed at the ends of the left and right side wall portions of the U-shaped cover plate, and the cover plate is fitted into the pocket portion so as to cover the pair of support wall portions. Since the cover plate is simply elastically engaged with the joint receiving groove portion of the support wall portion, the cover plate can be easily removed if intended, and the head of the fixing bolt can be exposed. The joint between the movable blade and the door can be released.
