Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a patterned hinge that combines a hinge material and a patterned member.

(Prior Art and Problems to Be Solved Thereof) Conventional hinges with patterns include those in which a pattern is applied to the surface by pressure molding the base of the hinge material using a press or the like, or the surface is engraved. However, adding a pattern by pressure molding has the problem that it is difficult to obtain a precise pattern, the shape of the pattern is rough, it requires a press machine, and it requires surface treatment after processing. However, there were also problems in that it required extra work and was inefficient. Furthermore, engraving requires processing labor and advanced technology, and furthermore, the product is expensive.

(Means for solving the problem) However, in this invention, the shaft is inserted into the cylindrical part of the base of two pieces, each having a mounting screw hole in which the pattern attachment part on the surface side of one or both pieces is recessed. , a patterned hinge is provided in which the bases are connected to form a butterfly plate material, and a patterned member to be attached to the surface side of the base is combined with the hinge material, so that even complicated and delicate patterns can be easily applied. It can be applied to the surface of the base of the hinge material, and due to the protrusion of the outer periphery of the base of the hinge material, an inexpensive product can be obtained despite the appearance that the pattern looks like it has been engraved.
This solves the conventional problems mentioned above.

Furthermore, since the pattern member is shaped to cover the screw hole of the hinge material, the pattern member is pasted after the hinge material is installed, and the screw heads are no longer visible from the outside, thereby preserving the aesthetic appearance. There are advantages not available with patterned hinges.

(Example) That is, an example of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

A hinge member 3 is formed by inserting a common shaft 6 into the cylindrical portions 1, 1a of rectangular bases 2, 2a having cylindrical portions 1, 1a on one side for inserting the shaft 6 therethrough. The base 2 has a screw hole 4 in the center, and an outer peripheral edge 10 protrudes toward the front surface. The pattern members 5 are, for example, thin plates made of aluminum with patterns cut out, and many of them are pasted on a synthetic resin film 7. An adhesive 8 is layered on the back side of each member, and the adhesive is covered with a separator 9. . In this embodiment, the base of the hinge material is rectangular, but the base is not limited to this, and the hinge material may have various shapes.
In addition, the outer peripheral edge 10 of the base was made to protrude throughout,
It does not necessarily have to be the whole part, but only the outer upper edge and the upper part of the side edge can be used, as long as the part to which the pattern member is attached is appropriately recessed.

Furthermore, the method of fixing the patterned member of this invention to a hinge material will be explained based on the drawings.

After attaching the hinge material 3 to the place where it will be used with screws, peel off the separator layered on the back side of the pattern member 5, place the pattern member 5 on a predetermined place on the base 2 of the hinge material 3, and place it on the synthetic resin film 7. When the pattern member 5 is fixed to the base 2 by pressing it down and the synthetic resin film 7 is removed, the pattern member 5 remains on the base 2 and a pattern is formed. As a result, the screw hole 4 and the screw are covered with the pattern member, and the screw hole 4 and the screw are covered with the pattern member and are not visible from the outside, so that a uniform aesthetic appearance that is not disturbed by the screw hole can be obtained.

In the examples and usage examples of this invention, the pattern member was made by pasting a synthetic resin film on the front surface, layering an adhesive on the back surface, and layering a separator on top of this, but the pattern member is limited to this. It may not be a real thing, but something with heat-welded resin applied to the back side.
Furthermore, the method of fixing the pattern member is not limited to these methods.

(Effect of the invention) That is, according to this invention, a shaft is inserted into a two-piece base in which the pattern attachment part is recessed, and the shaft is connected to form a butterfly board material, and the pattern member is fixed to the surface side of the base. Since the above-mentioned hinge materials are combined, a patterned hinge having a clear pattern can be obtained at low cost and easily, and the patterned portion is recessed and protected. In addition, since the shape of the pattern is such that it covers the screw holes of the hinge material, the screw holes are no longer visible from the outside by pasting the pattern material, which has the effect of providing a uniform aesthetic appearance without screw holes. . Furthermore, by separating the patterned member into several pieces, a unique patterned hinge can be obtained in which patterns of different colors and thicknesses are arbitrarily combined.
