SPRING HINGE Filed Sept. 30 1929 A001. PH Eva/1v,
Patented June 16, 1931 UNITED STATES 7 SPRING HINGE Application filed September 30,1929. Serial no. 396 318;
This invention relates to spring hinge suitable for refrigerator doors.
One object of this invention is to provide a hinge whose tension may be readily ad- 5 juste Another object of this invention is to provide a hinge simple in construction, with as few parts as possible, economical to manufacture, substantial, durable in use and easy of repair.
Other objects will be apparent from the detailed description taken in connection with the accompanied drawings in which Fig. 1 is the plan view of the hinge,
Fig. 2 is a cross section on line 22 Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view of the hinge pin;
Fig. 4 is a view of the key pin. i
The butt 1 and leaf 2 have attaching flanges by means of which the hinge may be at- 2 tached to the door casing. The leaf has a sleeve 3 with one end partially closed by an inwardly extending annular flange or ring 4..
The butt has the upstanding lugs 5 and 6. A
hinge pin securing the leaf to the butt by passing through the lugs and the sleeve, has
a cylindrical head 7, a reduced shank provided with a shoulder 8. The holes in the lug 6 and through the annular ring 4 are such as to accommodate the shank of the hinge pin.
The hole in the lug 5 is of the same diameter as the sleeve and accommodates the head 7 of the hinge pin. It will thus be seen that the leaf of this hinge is journaled by its sleeve at one end on the head of the pin and on the.
other end on the shank of the pin.
A torsion spring 9 is placed about the hinge pin and inside of the sleeve 3, having one end' secured by passing into an orifice 10 in theannular ring 4 and the other end into a longitudinal slot 11 in the head of the hinge pin. The periphery of the head has a series'of radial holes 12 to register with a hole in the lug 5. The holes 5 in the head and the hole in the lug are such as to accommodate a cylindrical key pin 13. (Fig. 4.) This pin has small shoulders 14 formed ateach end of the pin as shown in exaggerated form in Fig. 4. In a pin, for instance inch in diameter it is found that shoulders 1/64 inch in thickness is amply sufficient to retain the pin.
One of these shoulders abuts the inside of the lug and when the spring is intension the key pin is firmly secured thereby; The key is preferably provided with a shoulder on each end so that in assembling no care need be taken to insert a particular end in the hole.
It is apparent, of course, from a mechanical standpoint that a shoulder on one end of the pin is sufficient.
A transverse slot 15 is provided across the head of the pin to accommodate an adjusting tool such as a screw driver, whereby the tension of the spring may be readily adjusted by removing the key pin, turning the hinge pin and inserting the key pin in other of the 7 holes in the periphery of the head of'the hinge It will thus be seen that a hinge has been provided which is of few parts, simple of construction, lending itself to the ordinary methods of manufacture, substantial and easy of adjustment and repair.
It is apparent that the form of the attach-' ing flanges are not ofthe essence of this invention; While the terms butt and leaf have been used for convenience, thesefelements maybe of any desired form.
It is also apparent various changes may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of this in-- vention'.
-Having described the invention what is claimed is: a o
1. A spring hinge comp-rising, a butt hav ing upstanding lugs, a leaf having a sleeve positioned" between said lugs, a hinge pin through said sleeve and said lugs secured to one of said lugs, a spring within said sleeve and about said hinge pinhaving one end attached to said pin and the other end attached to said sleeve; said hinge pin having a cylindrical head'with a hole in the periphery of said head adapted to register with a hole in one of said lugs radial to said hinge pin and to accommodate a keyfpin, a longitudinal slot in the head adapted to secure one end of the t0 the sleeve by having its end inserted in an orifice in the said ring.
2. A spring hinge comprising, a butt having upstanding lugs, a leaf having a sleeve positioned between the said lugs, an annular ring at one end of said sleeve and integral therewith, a hinge pin through said sleeve and said lugs, a spring Within said sleeve and about said hinge pin, and a cylindrical head on the pin, the hole in the lugs adj aeent t0 the annular ring, and the hole in the ring being adapted to fit the shank of the pin, and
the head of the pin being adapted to fit in the other lug and extend into the sleeve,
whereby the leaf is j ournaled' on the shank and the head of the pin. 7 1
In testimony whereof I afix my signature this 12th day of September 1929.
I ADOLPH RUBIN.
