Definitions

  • a generally rectangular wire link pivotally connected at one end to one of the hinge members in radially spaced parallel relation to the hinge axis has its other end slidable frictionally on the other hinge member behind an elongated leaf spring that is hooked into said hinge member at one end and riveted to said hinge member at its other end, the riveted end being where the leaf spring has a detent portion formed thereon by a transverse crimp into which the link engages with snap action when the door reaches the fully opened position, whereby to hold the door releasa'bly in that position and avoid likelihood of its closing accidentally, and if the door is thrown open too violently the rivet head will break off before the leaf spring would be apt to break, so that the damage can be repaired at low cost and without a long delay in waiting for the arrival of a replacement part from a distant source.
  • the intermediate portion of the length of the leaf spring has two such sloped portions, one extending with greater and greater restriction toward a transverse crimp which defines a hold-open for the door in its half-way open position, and the other of which extends with greater and greater restriction to the other transverse crimp near the attached end where the door is held in its fully opened position.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a hinge embodying a holdopen device made in accordance with my invention, showing the parts in full lines in what corresponds to the fully opened position of the door, the link and the door attached hinge member being also shown in dotted lines in what corresponds to the closed position of the door;
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are face views of the inner side of the hinge member attached to the body pillar and of the hinge member attached to the door pillar, respectively, showing the wire link and its attaching strap in FIG. 2, and showing the elongated leaf spring and its fastening rivet in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 4 is a detail of the hinge member of FIG. 2;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 are sectional details on the correspondingly numbered lines of FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 7 is an end view of the hinge member of FIG. 3, and
  • FIG. 8 is a plan view of the door pillar attached hinge member of FIG. 3, showing a leaf spring thereon of a modified form from that appearing in FIG. 1.
  • the reference numerals 9 and 10 designate two members of an automobile door hinge, member 9 being attached to the body pillar by its shank portion 11 at 1-2, and member .10 being attached to the door pillar by means of its shank portion 13 at 14,.
  • a pintle 15 entered with a drive fit in registering holes 16 in a pair of coaxially spaced knuckles 17 provided on the outer end of member 9 is received with a working fit in a bearing hole 18 provided on the single elongated knuckle 19 projecting from the outer end of member 10 and received with a working fit between the knuckles 17 of member 9.
  • hinge member 10 is bent at an acute angle with respect to the shank portion 13 to oifset the knuckle 19 so that the members 9 and 10 are disposed in spaced parallel relation to one another when the door is closed, as illustrated by the dotted line position in 'FIG. 1.
  • a generally rectangular wire link 21 made from a single length of wire of circular cross-section provides coaxially aligned ends 22 for pivotal connection of the link with the inner side of the hinge member 9 where a cradle depression 23 is punched in the shank portion 11 on the inner side thereof as part of the bearing for said link, the rest of the bearing therefor being provided by the transversely crimped portion 24- of an elongated sheet metal strap 25 intermediate the ends thereof, this strap being secured at its ends by means of rivets 26 to the shank portion 11 of binge member 9- on the longitudinal center line thereof, as best appears in FIG. 2.
  • the other end 27 of the link 21 is a cross-bar or cross-pin parallel to the trunnions 22, and is slidable frictionally on the shank portion 13 of hinge member 10 behind an elongated leaf spring 28 disposed on the longitudinal center line of binge member 10, as best appears in FIG. 3.
  • This leaf spring 28 has its one end portion bent at right angles, as indicated at 2.9, and extending through a hole 30 in the shank portion 13 at the inner end remote from the knuckle '19, the extremity 31 of the leaf spring being bent again at right angles, as at 32, so as to extend inwardly on the back of the shank portion 13 in a groove 33 provided in the back of the shank portion 13 and communicating with the hole .39, so that this hook-in connection of the one end of the spring 28 with the shank portion 13 of hinge member 10 does not interfere in any way with the fastening of the shank portion 13 to the door pillar, the back of the shank portion remaining flush.
  • the bent extremity 31 substantially positively limits deflection of the leaf spring at that end away from the hinge member but with a small amount of spring restrained yield by virtue of a small amount of deflection of the bent extremity relative to the hinge member.
  • a transverse crimp 34 is made in the leaf spring 28 near its other end 3:5, which is widened and perforated, as indicated at 36, to receive the shank of rivet 37 for fastening this end to the shank portion 13.
  • the fiat circular and fairly thin head 38 of the rivet 37 abutting the widened end 35 of the leaf spring 28 right next to the crimp 34 is adapted to break off in the event the door is thrown open too violently where there would otherwise be danger of breakage of the leaf spring 28 at its riveted end next to the crimp 34, so that it is a relatively simple and fairly inexpensive matter to re-rivet this end of the leaf spring, and there is avoided the much greater expense of replacing theleaf spring and also having to be delayed so long in await ng arrival of this part from a distant source.
  • the leaf spring 28 has the portion 39 of its length intermediate its ends from the bend 29 to the crimp 34 inclined at a small angle with respect to the shank portion 13 to define a portion of greatest restriction at 40 right next to the crimp 34 through which the cross-bar 27 of the link 21 can pass only with increased frictional drag to enter or leave the crimped portion 34, and, of course, this frictional drag on the movement of the cross-bar 27 diminishes the farther the cross-bar moves away from the crimp 34, as should be evident from a study of FIG. 1.
  • the door opening movement is, of course, positively limited by engagement of the cross-bar 27 with that side of the crimped portion 34 toward the rivet 37 and it is easy to see, therefore, that if the door is thrown open too violently the crossbar 27 forcing its way into the V defined between the inclined side 41 of the crimp 34 toward the rivet 37 and the inner face of the shank 13 tends to widen or spread the V and thereby pries off the head 38 of the rivet 37.
  • hinge member intended for fastening to the door pillar is the same as hinge member 10 of FIGS. 1 and 3, and corresponding portions are similarly numbered, using prime numerals.
  • the leaf spring 28 which is similar to the leaf spring 28 of FIGS.
  • a hinge comprising two hinge members pivotally connected to swing relative to one another through a given angularity
  • the improvement which consists in an elongated link pivotally connected at one end to one of said hinge members in radially spaced parallel relation to the hinge axis and having a cross-pin on its other end also parallel to said hinge axis and slidable lengthwise of the other hinge member toward and away from said hinge axis in the opening and closing of the hinge, an elongated leaf spring adapted to be secured to and extending lengthwise of said other hinge member and closely slidably confining said cross-pin between it and said hinge member to resist by its deflection the sliding movement of said cross-pin and accordingly hold said hinge members yieldingly in different open positions, said spring carrying hinge member having an opening provided there in adjacent one end of said leaf spring, said leaf spring having that end thereof bent substantially at right angles to the hinge member and extending into the opening and then again substantially at right angles so as to hook onto said hinge member detachably in said opening and thereby also substantially positively
