Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a device for attaching a hinge to a gatepost, which pivots a hinged gate to the gatepost.
The purpose is to provide a hinge mounting device that can easily attach a hinge capable of adjusting the height of a gate to a gatepost using a minimum number of structural members.

When pivoting a swinging gate to a gatepost, especially in the case of a double-swinging gate, it is necessary to match the heights of both gates. If the hinge that pivots the gate to the gatepost is fixed to the gatepost from the beginning, it is difficult to stand the left and right gateposts on the ground so that the hinges are at the same height, so the hinge should be attached to the gatepost. It is best to install it so that its position can be adjusted in the height direction.

In order to mount the hollow column member in such a way that the height can be adjusted, a vertical hole is provided in the mounting surface of the hollow column member, and a bolt that passes through the hinge leaf is inserted into the vertical hole, so that the bolt can be slid freely inside the mounting surface. A mounting structure is known in which the device is screwed into a nut. However, when the bolt is screwed in for the first time, the nut needs to be held in a position that matches the vertical hole, but in the conventional technology, the nut is not provided in the holding means, so the above mounting structure is This method can only be applied to a column member having a groove that opens outward over the entire width, or a column member whose hollow portion is open on the back side, such as an opening frame when a door is attached to an opening frame. This is because the former column member allows the nut dropped into the groove to be held with fingers from the outside of the mounting surface, while the latter column member allows the nut to be pressed and held from behind inside the mounting surface. In either case, when the bolt is first screwed in, the nut must be held by hand, which makes the work difficult. In addition, since the groove is exposed over the entire length of the column member, or the hollow portion is open at the back of the column member, there is a drawback that the appearance of the gatepost is impaired when it is erected on the gate.

In view of the above points, this invention provides a nut insertion hole continuous in the longitudinal direction that is closed from the outside on the inside of the hollow gate post, and a vertically elongated hole that communicates the nut insertion hole with the outside at the hinge installation position. By forming a stopper projecting into the nut insertion hole at or near the lower end of the vertically elongated hole, the nut is simply dropped into the nut insertion hole, and the nut is locked and held in a predetermined position by the stopper. Bolts that pass through the leaves can be screwed into nuts immediately, and there is no need to hold the nuts by hand. In addition, the gateposts must have grooves that are open to the outside or have hollow parts that are open at the back. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hinge mounting device that can have the appearance of a solid gatepost.

Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings. This invention, as shown in Fig. 1, consists of a hinge C consisting of two leaves 11 and 14 for pivotally supporting a swinging gate B to a gate post A erected on the ground.
It is used to attach one leaf 11 to the gate post A so that its height can be adjusted. This hinge attachment device is provided at at least two locations on the gate post A, the top and the bottom.

As clearly shown in Figure 2, the gatepost A is
It is formed hollow, and on one side thereof is provided a nut insertion hole (hereinafter simply referred to as insertion hole) 1 that extends over the entire length of the gate post. This insertion hole is formed by the partition wall 2, the outer wall 2, and both side walls 4 and 5. The outer wall 3 has two vertical holes 6 at the height where the upper and lower hinges C are attached.
is provided, and the insertion hole 1 communicates with the outside through this vertically elongated hole 6.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a nut, which has a similar cross-sectional shape slightly smaller than the cross-sectional shape of the insertion hole 1 of the gate post, and can be dropped into the insertion hole 1 while maintaining a predetermined orientation. The nut is the vertical hole 6
It has a screw hole 8 at a position corresponding to .

The gatepost A is provided with a stopper 9 protruding into the insertion hole 1 at or near the lower end of the vertically long hole 6, and when a nut 7 is dropped into the insertion hole 1 of the vertically installed gatepost A, the nut is stopped by the stopper 9 without descending to the lowest end of the gate post, and the screw hole 8 matches the longitudinal hole 6 and opens to the outside.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, this stopper 9 is constituted by a small screw screwed into a screw hole 10 provided in the outer wall 3 slightly below the vertically elongated hole 6. This machine screw is screwed into the screw hole 10 so that its tip protrudes into the insertion hole 1, and a machine screw with a flat head is used so that the head does not protrude from the outer wall 3. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the stopper can also be formed by bending the material inside the insertion hole 1, leaving a part of the material to be removed when forming the longitudinal hole 6. In this case, machining of machine screws and screw holes in the example of FIG. 2 is not necessary.

One leaf 11 constituting the hinge C has a bolt through hole 12, and a bolt 13 passed through the hole is inserted into the vertical hole 6 of the gate post A, screwed into the screw 8 of the nut 7, and the leaf 11 and the nut are screwed together. By tightening the outer wall 3 of the gatepost with 7, it is fixed to the gatepost. Since the nut 7 is locked by the stopper 9, it is possible to easily screw the bolt 13 into the nut 7 first.

It is preferable that the nut 7, leaf 11 and bolt 13 be attached to the gatepost before shipment from the factory.
This saves the effort of separately packaging and handling these parts. Another leaf 14 that makes up the hinge
It is also preferable to fix it to the gate B in advance. In this way, after installing gatepost A on the ground, leaves 11,
14 are rotatably connected to pivotally support the gate B on the gate post. Then, the height of the gate is adjusted by loosening the bolt 13 a little, moving the nut 7, leaf 11, and bolt 13 up and down through the vertical hole 6, and completely tightening the bolt 13 again. leaf 11
If the bolt through hole 12 is made into a horizontally elongated hole, it is possible to adjust the position of the gate in the horizontal direction.

In the illustrated embodiment, two longitudinal holes 6 are provided in the gate post A, and two bolt through holes 12 are provided in the leaves 11, and two bolts 13 are provided in each hole.
Since this is provided, the leaf 11 can be fixed very firmly to the gate post. However, one of the longitudinal holes 6 and the bolt through holes 12 may have one and the other may have two.

As mentioned above, the gate hinge mounting device according to this invention consists of a gate post, a nut, a leaf, and a bolt, and the number of components is very small, and the gate post has an insertion hole continuous in the vertical direction on one side. Since it has a simple shape and a vertically elongated hole is provided in the outer wall that forms the insertion hole, it is easy to manufacture. Since the leaves are screwed into the nuts, the hinges are easy to install and the height can be adjusted.

Since a stopper that protrudes into the insertion hole is provided at or near the lower end of the vertically elongated hole, the nut dropped into the insertion hole is locked and held by the stopper with the screw hole aligned with the vertically elongated hole. . Therefore, the nut can be held in a desired position without having to be held down by hand, and the initial screwing of the bolt into the nut can be done easily, reliably, and quickly.

Furthermore, the insertion hole is covered by the outer wall, so the nut is not visible from the outside, and only the head and leaf of the bolt are exposed at the hinge attachment part, so the gate post has a solid appearance, and the hinge attachment part is exposed. The appearance is simple and beautiful. Furthermore, when opening and closing the gate, rotational inertia is applied to the area around the vertical hole through the leaves and bolts, but the outer wall forming the vertical hole is integrally connected to the gate post and has great mechanical strength, so it does not deform. Therefore, there is no play in the hinge mounting portion.
