- 4FIGURE 5 is a view similar to both FIGURES i1 and 4 but illustrating the position of the respective elements of the hinge assembly While the door is being moved towards its closed position;
- FIGURES -6 and 7 are enlarged fragmentary crosssectional views taken respectively on the planes of lines 6-6 and 7-7 of FIGURES 4 and 5;
- FIGURE S is a View similar to FIGURE 4 illustrating a modication of the invention as disclosed by FIG- URES l1 through 7;
- FIGURE 9 is a fragmentary elevational view of a portion of one of the elements shown in FIGURE 8, taken generally in the direction of arrow A of FIGURE 8;
- FIGURE 10 is a cross-sectional view taken generally on the plane of line 16-10 of FIGURE 8 and looking in the direction of the arrows.
- FIG- URE 1 illustrates the hinge assembly 10 as comprising a pivot ysupport bracket 12 having a base portion '14 suitably secured as by screws 16, one of which is shown, to a portion of the door frame 18.
- the frame or support 18 may in fact be a portion of an automotive vehicle.
- a fragmentary portion of the vehicle outer body panel, illustrated at 20, is shown to have an edge surface 2'2 which is in close proximity to a juxtaposed edge 524 of a door assembly 26 when the door is in its closed position.
- Bracket 12 when secured to the support 18, has laterally extending opposed walls 218 and 30 which are formed integrally with base 14.
- projections 32 and 34 are respectively formed at the ends of wall 28 and similarly projections 3'6 and 38 are formed -a-t the ends of wall v30. From both FIGURES 1 and 2 it can be seen that projections 32 and 36 cooperate to contain a rst pivot member 40 while projections 34 and 38 contain a second pivot member 42.
- hinge arm 44 having one end 46 pivotally mounted on pivot 42, is rigidly secured in any suitable manner to the door 26 so as to provide both a support for the door assembly and also a pivotal connection with member 42 and consequently the support 18 through bracket 12.
- hinge arm 44 is of a generally U-shaped cross-sectional coniiguration having what may be referred to as a bight portion 48 with integrally formed oppositely disposed walls 50 and 52.
- Hinge arm 44 has an opening 54 formed therethrough which is intended to accommodate the passage therethrough of an arcuate holding lever 56.
- a tension spring 58 is connected to end 60 of holding arm 56 by means of an aperture 62 formed therethrough while the other end of spring 58 is connected to support bracket 12 by means of a tongue portion 64 formed on the bracket and an aperture 66 formed in the tongue 64.
- the other end 68 of holding arm 56 is pivotally secured to the support bracket 12 by means of pivot member 40.
- Tubular spacers 70 and 72 may be mounted on pivot 40 and disposed on opposite sides of holding arm 56 in order to maintain the generally medial position of holding arm 56 with respect to bracket 12 and hinge arm opening 54.
- a tubular spacer 74 is preferably provided about pivot 42 between the walls S0 and 52 of end 46 of hinge arm 44 in order to transmit loading forces as between walls 50 and 52.
- end 68 of holding arm 56 is provided with an integrally formed abutment or stop portion 76 which is intended to abut against the base 14 of bracket 12 to prevent further counter-clockwise rotation of arm 56 when the door 26 is in closed position as illustrated in FIGURE 1.
- holding arm 56 has a tapered portion 78, formed generally along the inner arcuate edge, comprised of converging tapered surfaces 80 and 82.
- Hinge arm 44 in addition to supporting and carrying the door assembly 26, also carries a pivotally mounted dog or wedging member 84.
- dog 84 is comprised of a body portion 86 which is pivotally mounted and supported by a pivot member 88 which, in turn, is secured to ⁇ and carried by hinge arm 44.
- Body 86 of dog 84 carries an integrally formed sector 89 which has a generally V- shaped or wedge-like groove 90 formed therein.
- groove 90 is formed so as to be generally concentrically disposed with reference to the pivot member 88.
- the tapering wall surfaces 92 and 94 of groove 90 are intended to at times respectively engage the tapering surfaces 80 and 82 of holding arm 56.
- Dog 84 also has an integrally formed radially extending lever portion 96 which, by virtue of an aperture 98 formed therethrough, is adapted to receive one end 100 of a torsion spring ⁇ 102.
- the torsion spring 102 is preferably mounted about a locating type support 104 carried by hinge arm 44 and has its other end 106 restrained within a holding portion 108 which, as illustrated, may be integrally formed in the wall 50 of hinge arm 44.
- Torsion spring 102 is effective to continually urge the rotation of dog 84 counter-clockwise about pivot 88 as viewed in FIGURE 1.
- support bracket 12 has a projection 110 which, when the door assembly 26 is moved to the closed position of FIGURE 1, abuts against the lever arm 96 of dog 84 in order to assure dog 84 assuming a position substantially as shown in FIGURE 1. This, of course, is against the action of torsion spring 102.
- sector 89 of the dog 84 generally receives the wedge edge 78 within its groove 90'.
- Continued movement of the door 26 in the opening direction results in a sliding frictional contact between surfaces 80, 82 of holding arm 56 and surfaces 92, 94 of the groove ⁇ 90, respeciively.
- Such sliding friction causes the sector 89 and dog 84 to assume a position substantially as shown in FIGURE 4 during such corresponding door-opening movements.
- Torsion spring :102 continues to urge dog 84 in a counter-clockwise direction thereby assuring continued contact Abetween the respective surfaces of the wedge portion 78 and coacting groove 90.
- torsion spring 102 This may be achieved by forceably moving the door 26 towards its closed position generally clockwise about pivot 42. During this time torsion spring 102 continues urging the dog 84 in a counterclockwise direction about pivot 88. Such urging by torsion spring 102 and the frictional forces existing as between surfaces 80, 82 and 92, 94, respectively, cause the sector 89 to start walking along the tapered edge 78 as dog 84 correspondingly rotates about its pivot 88 and hinge arm 44 rotates about pivot 42.
- control arm 56 rotate slightly about pivot 40 in the clockwise direction thereby causing spring 58 to undergo further stressing.
- the tension of the spring 58 increases until face 114 is rotated to the point that it is in line with a line drawn through the centers of pivots 42 and 88.
- FIGURES 8, 9 and 10 illustrate a second embodiment of this invention yand most of the elements which are like or similar to the elements of FIGURES 1 through 7 are identified with like primed reference numerals.
- a wedging member or dog 120 is pivotally mounted on a supporting pin 88' which is carried by the door hinge arm 44.
- Spacers 121 and 123 may be provided in order to maintain dog 120 generally midway between sides 50' and 52 of hinge arm 44.
- End 122 of dog 120 is preferably provided with a slot 124 in order to receive the bight portion 126 of a generally U-shaped spring 128.
- Legs and 132 of spring 128 have oppositely coiled portions 134 and 136, respectively, through which is received mounting pin 104.
- Ends 138 and 140 of legs 130 and 132 are disposed on generally diametrically opposed portions of hinge pin 42'. Consequently, any tendency or actual rotation of dog 120 about pivot 88', either clockwise or counterclockwise, is resiliently resisted by :spring 128.
- the other end 142 of dog 120 is provided with a generally V-shaped slot 90 having side surfaces 92 and 94' which are intended to cooperate with the tapering surfaces 80 and 82', respectively, of the control arm 56'.
- slot 90 is preferably made straight, it can nevertheless be made generally arcuate so as to have an arc somewhat approaching the radial distance from the center of pivot 42'.
- spring 58' has one end 59 connected to the swingable end 60 of control arm 56 while the other end 61 of spring 58 is operatively connected to the bracket 12 by menas of an aperture 56' formed therethrough.
- portion 144 is preferably provided so as to reduce the width of the otherwise wedging portion of control arm 56 thereby enabling .the cocked dog 120 to freely rotate lto its position 4as shown in FIGURE 8. This is achieved by having a generally cut-out portion 146 and 148 formed on opposite sides of the control arm 56 and which generally blend with the tapering surfaces 80' and 82.
