Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hinge for an easily foldable ladder by inserting one of the legs of the ladder into one end, and providing inside and outside hinge parts, a circular disk, a tight contact piece, and an angle adjusting rod at the other end. SOLUTION: Locking grooves 108 in a second inside hinge part 104 are formed to have four different angles. A tight contact piece 140 is inserted into a groove 134 in a circular disk 130 and a first locking groove to lock a hinge into place. An angle adjusting rod 170 is rotated to match an recognition mark 178 to a reference mark 180. Then the circular disk 130 is rotated so that the tight contact piece 140 connected to an elastic device 142 is pushed and removed from the locking groove 108. When a second outside hinge part 154 is rotated thereafter, the tight contact piece 140 is pushed at that position by the elastic device 142 and inserted again into the groove 134 and the fourth locking groove. Thus the hinge is locked in that position. Therefore, the hinge can be locked easily in one operation.

Further, the first hinge portion 106, the circular plate 130, and the second hinge portion 156 thus constructed have a rotating shaft 172 extending from an angle adjusting rod 170 at substantially the center thereof.
The shaft is attached. The rotary shaft 172 has its end fixed by a locking piece 174 and can be fixed without being detached. Further, the rotating shaft 172 is configured to have a pair of flat surfaces 173 facing each other on a part of its outer peripheral surface that penetrates and contacts the circular plate 130. In this structure, the angle adjusting rod 170 can be rotated integrally with the circular plate 130 by bringing the rotating shaft 172 into close contact with the circular plate 130. The angle adjusting rod 170 is provided with a groove 176 on the outer peripheral surface thereof. The groove 176 is formed in a straight line with the groove 134 of the circular plate 130 axially mounted on the shaft as a reference. As a result, the recognition mark 17 is provided on the surface of the angle adjusting rod 170.
8 are provided. The angles most frequently used by this ladder are 0 °, 40 °, 105 ° and 180 °.
Moreover, a reference mark 180 is formed in the vicinity of the outer peripheral surface of the reference mark 180 so as to serve as a reference corresponding to the recognition mark 178.
In this way, the recognition mark 178 corresponding to the reference mark 180 indicates an angle formed by both legs of the ladder when the angle adjusting rod 170 is rotated and locked. This aligns the recognition mark 178 with the desired angle with the reference mark. This one
The ladder can be folded at a stretch to obtain a desired angle only by operating the angle adjusting rod 170 once.

Of these, FIG. 5A is a view showing a hinge locked at an angle of 0 °. As shown in the figure, the locking groove 108 of the second inner hinge portion 104 is 0 °,
The first locking groove 108a and the second locking groove 108 are formed by four different angles of 40 °, 105 ° and 180 °.
b, third locking groove 108c and fourth locking groove 108d
It is composed of two locking grooves. However, in this figure, the concave groove 134 of the circular plate 130 and the first locking groove 108a
It is shown that the contact piece 140 is attached to the hinge and the hinge is fixedly locked at an angle of 0 °. Of course, in this state, the recognition mark 0 ° on the upper surface of the angle adjusting rod is aligned with the reference mark. After that, as shown in FIG. 5B, the user rotates the angle adjusting rod in the direction indicated by the arrow to align the recognition mark 180 ° shown on the upper surface with the reference mark. As a result, the circular plate 130 connected thereto is rotated, and the elastic device 14 is rotated.
The contact piece 140 connected to 2 is pushed and removed from the locking groove 108. After that, when the user operates the second outer hinge portion 154 by 180 degrees, the contact piece 14 is placed at the position where the hinge is 180 degrees along with a clicking sound.
0 is pushed by the elastic device 142 so that the groove 13 of the circular plate 130
The contact piece 140 is inserted into the fourth and fourth locking grooves 108d again. Therefore, the hinge can be fixedly locked at the 180 ° position. In addition, this method allows the hinge to be folded and locked at a desired angle not only at 180 ° but also at any other desired angle.
