Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a rotary hinge used for an automobile storage compartment lid, etc.

In automobiles, a rotating lid is provided at the upper rear side of a rear seat back, and the rear side of the rear seat back is sometimes used as a storage compartment.

In that case, the lid needs to be removable depending on the size of the object to be stored.

Generally, a rotating shaft is protruded from the end of the lid body, and a hinge piece made by bending a spring plate into a U shape is attached to the base plate side of the vehicle body with rivets,
It is fixed with a pin or the like, and the end of the rotating shaft is rotatably supported by a hinge piece by the elasticity of a spring, and by spreading the spring, the rotating shaft can be attached or detached.

However, spring plates can break if handled roughly, and rivets make them difficult to replace.

Furthermore, when manufacturing the device, there are problems such as time-consuming assembly and high cost.

This invention is an improvement on this in view of the above points, and an embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

The hinge piece 1 is in the shape of a circular groove with an open upper end, and is molded from a synthetic resin such as nylon, and has protrusions 2 integrally formed on both sides of the outer periphery and on the lower side during molding.

On the other hand, a V-shaped groove 4 is provided at the end of the substrate 3 fixed to the vehicle body, and holes 5 are bored on both sides and below the groove 4.

Then, the hinge piece 1 is inserted into the groove 4 of the substrate 3, and the protrusions 2 are inserted into the respective holes 5 and latched.

A rotating shaft 7 protrudes from the end of the lid 6 of the storage case, and the end of the rotating shaft 7 is press-fitted into the hinge piece 1 so as to be rotatable.

Since this invention has the above-mentioned structure, the hinge piece 1 is made of elastic synthetic resin, the protrusion 2 is integrally formed, and the protrusion 2 is hooked into the hole 5 of the groove 4 of the base plate 3. The hinge piece 1 can be attached to the board 3 by simply stopping it.

The rotating shaft 7 of the lid body 6 is simply pushed into the hinge piece 1, and the hinge piece 1 grips and holds the rotating shaft 7, making it easy to attach and detach.

Further, when the rotating shaft 7 is rotated, no squeak is generated because the metal and the synthetic resin are in sliding contact.

As explained above, this invention forms a hinge piece made of synthetic resin that has the shape of a hollow circular gutter with an open upper end and has protrusions integrally provided on both sides of the outer periphery and on the lower side. The protrusion was inserted into a V-shaped groove provided on the board, and the protrusion was hooked into the hole in the board, and the rotating shaft protruding from the end of the lid was press-fitted into the hinge piece. It can be installed simply by hooking the integrally provided protrusion into the hole provided in the groove of the board, eliminating riveting work, etc., and can be provided at low cost with a small number of parts.

In addition, since the rotating shaft is held by gripping it with a hinge piece, it is easy to attach and detach, and even when the lid is rotated,
It has various effects such as smooth operation without producing squeaks or the like.
