Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a hinge used for doors of furniture, refrigerators, etc.

(Prior art) In general, hinges used for doors of furniture, refrigerators, etc. directly connect a fixed body attached to the main body of the furniture, refrigerator, etc. and a rotating body attached to the door side of the furniture, refrigerator, etc. There is a shaft connection method in which a fixed body on the main body side and a rotating body on the door side are pivotally connected via a link.

Among these, the shaft connection method has a relatively simple structure and is advantageous in terms of strength, but when the door is opened, one side of the hinge side of the door protrudes to one side of the main body. However, there is a problem in that one side of the main body on the hinge side cannot be brought close to the wall or the side of other furniture.

In addition, the link connection method has a relatively complicated structure, and the load moment increases by the length of the link, so it is disadvantageous in terms of strength compared to the shaft connection method, but it is difficult to connect two links in parallel. When the door is opened, one side of the hinge side of the door does not protrude to one side of the main unit, and one side of the hinge side of the main unit is placed close to a wall or other furniture. It is also possible to approach the area.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, the shaft connection type hinge has a relatively simple structure and is advantageous in terms of strength compared to the link connection type hinge, but it is difficult to open the door. When the hinge side of the door protrudes to one side of the main body, there is a problem that the hinge side of the main body cannot be brought close to the wall or the side of other furniture. .

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and it is an object of the present invention to prevent one side of the hinge side of the door from protruding to one side of the main body when the door is opened in a hinge of a shaft connection type. The purpose is to

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the hinge of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the refrigerator as a fixed member, 2 is the door of the refrigerator as a rotating member, 3 is between the right upper end surface of the door 2 and the right front surface of the main body 1, and between the right lower end surface of the door 2 and the main body 1. A hinge 4 is provided between the right upper end surface of the door 2 and the right front surface of the main body 1, which is one of the two hinges provided symmetrically between the right front surface of the refrigerator. A gasket (not shown) is endlessly attached to the periphery of the inner surface of the door 2 relative to the main body 1.

The hinge 3 has two screws 5 on the right front side of the main body 1.
and the fixed body 6 attached to the door 2, and the
The rotating body 8 is attached to the fixed body 6 with two screws 7, and the rotating body 8 is connected to the fixed body 6 by a support shaft 9 so as to be rotatable in the left-right direction.

The fixed body 6 is attached to the connecting plate part 12 from the lower right side of the mounting plate part 11 to the front surface of the main body 1 of the refrigerator.
A long hole 13 as a guide for the support shaft 9 is formed in the front part of the connecting plate part 12 in the left-right direction, and a hole is formed on the inner circumference of the long hole 13 and on the upper part thereof. A sliding contact member 14 is fitted to improve the sliding of the support shaft 9.

Further, the rotary body 8 has a flat plate shape, faces the lower surface of the connecting plate portion 12 of the fixed body 6, and has the support shaft 9 fixed at a position relative to the elongated hole 13 of the fixed body 6.

Then, the rotating body 8 is located on the left side of the support shaft 9.
A shaft 17 is provided on the upper surface of the fixed body 6, and a shaft 18 is provided on the lower surface of the fixed body 6 to the left of this shaft. 18 are connected by a link 19.
