Definitions

  • a one-piece hinge formed of plastic material, movable about an axis from a closed andopen position is disclosed, the hinge including two hinge plates interconnected by a web which lies in one axis, at least one slit arranged at right angles to the axis separating the web into two or more hung strips, one of the strips being grooved at the position of the axis, another hinge strip acting as a tension spring to bias the hinge into its closed and open positions also including a spring portion thereof having an undulating from in both the closed and open positions and displaceable about two additional axes parallel to but at points offset from the first axis.
  • hinges moldable in one-piece from so-called plastic" material, that is to say from natural or synthetic resins, and which are for instance especially suitable for mounting the lid upon the body of an injection-molded plastic container.
  • plastic that is to say from natural or synthetic resins
  • Such hinges consist essentially of a groove in the plastic material between the hinge plates, which enables the inherently flexible plastic material to bend in a hingelike manner along the line of the groove.
  • one-piece plastic hinges are already known, which possess a positive hinge-closing bias.
  • These one-piece plastic hinges known under the name Mira-Gelenk, have two hinge strips, separated by a slit and extending parallel to each other at right-angles to the hinge axis (in the sense of the axis about which the hinge plates are to swing), these hinge strips being each grooved generally in the direction of the hinge axis to constitute the hinge, but with the grooves in the respective hinge strips slightly offset relative to one another.
  • the spring plates can be opened only by deforming the resiliently flexible plastic material from which the hinge is made so as to bring the grooves in the respective strips into line with the hinge axis. Consequently, this construction possesses a positive hingeclosing bias.
  • this known construction possesses certain disadvantages. It can be manufactured only by injection-molding with the hinge plates aligned almost precisely in the l80-open position.
  • the injection-molding equipment must be most accurately constructed and operated, since with the plastic materials usually employed the thickness of the hinge at its thinnest point adjacent the groove must be only 0.25 to 0.35 mm. Furthermore, where two or more hinges are provided adjacent one another between the lid and the body of a container, it is essential that these adjacent hinges must be exactly similar.
  • a onepiece hinge formed of inherently flexible, resilient, plastic material, comprising two relatively thick and inflexible hinge plates separated but innterconnected by a relatively thin and flexible joint constituting the hinge axis, in which the hinge is separated by one or more slits arranged generally at right-angles to the hinge axis into at least two hinge strips, one of said strips being grooved along the hinge axis and defining the same, another of said hinge strips having hingelike axes formed by material thinning at each of its ends, said hingelike axes extending parallel to the hinge axis and inter connecting the hinge plates at points offset from the hinge axis with the respective ends of the intermediate portion of said other hinge strip, said intermediate portion having at least one relatively thin, resiliently flexible corrugated section extensible longitudinally as the hinge plates are swung from their closed to their open position.
  • the intermediate portion of the other hinge strip which functions as a tension spring to bias the hinge in to its closed position can be formed of relatively thin and hence resiliently flexible material and can be corrugated throughout its entire length.
  • this intermediate portion shall include a central, relatively thick and inflexible section surrounded by two relatively thin, resiliently flexible corrugated sections.
  • the intermediate portion overall either can have the form of a capital letter omega or can consist of a central relatively thick section similar to that constituting the hinge plates surrounded by relatively thin and flexible U-shaped sections.
  • the hinge constructed according to this invention possesses a snap-action, that is to say it is held positively by the resilience of the corrugated section(s) of the intermediate portion of the hinge strip in either its open or its closed position, and passes as it is swung between those open and closed positions through a metastable intermediate position in which the resiliently flexible corrugations are stretched to their full extent.
  • the opening angle of the hinge i.e., the angle which it makes, in open position, with the metastable intermediate position
  • its closing angle i.e., the angle which it makes, in a fully relaxed closed position, with the metastable intermediate
  • the opening and closing angles of the hinge should be different, this can readily be achieved by locating the hinge axis in one hinge strip about which the hinge plates swing in a different plane (located in the common plane of the hinge plates) from the plane (also lying in the common plane of the hinge plates) of the attachment points connecting the hinge plates to the other hinge strip.
  • the attachment points interconnecting this other hinge strip with the respective hinge plates are offset by significantly different distances from the hinge axis in the firstmentioned hinge strip about which the hinge plates swing.
  • the hinge according to.thisinvention can consist of only two hinge strips, as so far described. However, it is generally preferred that the hinge should consist of at least two and advantageously a plurality of hinge strips of the first-mentioned type, arranged alternately along the hinge axis with hinge strips of the second-mentioned type. It is, moreover, also preferred that the two hinge plates should each be moulded integrally into and form part of a container, thus respectively the container body and the container lid, so that the whole container including the hinge between lid and body may be injection-molded in one piece.
  • the container including the hinge should be so molded that the lid-of'the containerengages with the body of the container before the hinge has reached its fully closed position, and thus before the corrugations in the.appropriate hinge strips have reached their fully relaxed condition, so that the lid is thereby positively held in the closed position by the resilient bias of the corrugated hinge strip.
  • the hinge according to this invention it is possible to injection-mold the hinge according to this invention with the hinge plates arranged at an angle of 45.
  • the force with which the closure is effected can be varied from weak to strong, simply by suitable choice of the thicknesses and dimensions of the various parts, as well as naturally also the material from which they are made.
  • the parts thin and consequently elastic to secure a closing force equivalent to a deflection from the relaxed position of as much as 30". Since the corrugation in the corrugated hinge strip can easily be kept (naturally, when the hinge is in the closed position) within the outer contours of the hinge (defined by the normal-type hinge strips) there are no projecting edges.
  • the slit separating the hinge strips can be kept to a minimal width, of about 0.1 mm., merely sufficient to permit the hinge strips to slide past one another, and consequently the slit becomes practically imperceptible.
  • the hinge according to the invention can be used to secure the lid to the body of even a rectilinear container, since the outer contours of the hinge can be identical to those of the container when the lid is in the closed position. It will, moreover, be appreciated that no excessive precision is required in injection-molding techniques when manufacturing containers with the hinges in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan view of one preferred embodiment of a one-piece hinge manufactured in accordance with the invention from plastic material
  • FIG. 2 shows a view, partly in elevation and partly in cross section, of the same embodiment, taken along the line Il in FIG. 1, showing the hinge in closed position;
  • FIG. 3 shows a view similar to that of FIG. 2, but with the hinge in its metastable intermediate position
  • FIG. 4 shows a view similar to FIGS. 2 and 3, but with the hinge in open position
  • FIG. 5 shows a view, partly in elevation and partly in cross section, generally similar to that of FIGS. 2-4, but of another embodiment of hinge according to the invention, in closed position;
  • FIG. 6 shows a similar view of the same embodiment as shown in FIG. 5, but with the hinge in open position.
  • the hinge comprises two hinge plates 1 and 2, interconnected via two hinge strips 3 and 4, each of these hinge strips 3, 4 being grooved on both faces (at 5 and 6 respectively) to define the hinge axis.
  • Thehinge strips 3 and 4 are separated respectively by slits 7 and 8 from an intervening hinge strip (identified in FIG. I as 9) which-as can best be seen in FIGS. 24--comprises a central, relatively thick and inflexible section 9, whose ends are linked respectively to hinge plates 1 and 2 by relatively thin and hence flexible U-shaped corrugations.
  • the hingelike axis of these corrugations are marked respectively 10 and II.
  • FIG. 2 shows the hinge in its closed position, in which hinge plate I is held in the desired position relative to hinge plate 2 about the hinge axis by the corrugated hinge strip 9, which (as shown) is in its relaxed, unstretched conditionor which may be under slight tension, if a positive closing force is required.
  • hinge plate I In order to move the hinge to its open position, hinge plate I must be swung about the hinge axis into the metastable position shown in FIG. 3.
  • the U-shaped corrugations in hinge strip 9 are fully stretched, and thus due to their inherent resilience exert the maximum tension on hinge plates I and 2 about the hinge axis.
  • FIG. 3 the attachment points between corrugated hinge strip 9 and respectively hinge plate I and 2 have been indicated as I2 and 13. These in the metastable position of the hinge shown in FIG. 3 lie in a plane with the hinge axis, defined by groove 5. As shown in FIG. 3, this plane is the median common plane of the hinge plate I and 2, consequently the opening and closing angles of the hinge (shown respectively in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4) are the same. If, however, the hinge axis 5 and the attachment points 12 and 13 do not lie in the median common plane, then the opening and closing angles of the hinge will be different.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 there is shown a hinge particularly intended to be integrally molded with both the body and the lid of a container.
  • the hinge plate 15 forms part of the container lid
  • binge plate [6 forms part of the wall of the container body.
  • the hinge axis between lid and body, indicated at I7, is constituted by a groove (see especially FIG. 6) in hinge strip I8.
  • the lid 15 is held in the closed position shown in FIG. 5 by corrugated hinge strip 14, having a second central section 14 ,which overall has the shape of a capital letter omega It can clearly be seen, by a comparison of FIGS.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show the hinge in its respective extreme positions, that is to say when the corrugations are as fully relaxed as possible.
  • this extreme closed position shown in fullline in FIG. 5 the container lid, while retained in the closed position by the resilient flexibility of the corrugated hinge strip 14, is not positively forced into engagement with the container body thereby.
  • the hinge should close the container before the hinge itself has reached a fully closed position. This is illustrated in FIG. 5 in dotted lines.
  • the lid I5 is brought into engagement at this position with the container body, and thus before hinge strip 14 is fully relaxed, so that the latter positively holds the lid in engagement therewith.
  • one or more slits arranged generally at right angles to the first axis and separating said web into at least two hinge strips
  • one of said hinge strips being grooved at the position of said first axis
  • the other of said hinge strips being adapted to function as a tension spring to bias the hinge into its closed, and open, positions and including a spring portion displaceable about two second axis parallel to, but at points offset from, said first axis,
  • said spring portion having at least one section which is extensible longitudinally as the hinge plates are swung from their closed position to their open position, which has an undulating form in both the closed and open positions such that tension is maintained in a direction longitudinal to said spring portion.
  • a hinge as claimed in claim 1 in which the spring portion has the overall form ofa capital letter omega 5.
  • a hinge as claimed claim 1 in which the distances separating the attachment points between the hinge strip from the hinge axis are different.
  • a hinge as claimed in claim 1 in which the hinge axis and the attachment points lie in the median common plane of the hinge plates when the hinge is in its metastable intermediate position.
  • a hinge as claimed in claim 1, comprising a plurality of said one and said other hinge strips, arranged alternately along the hinge axis.
  • At least one first hinge strip connecting said plates and having a groove formed therein to define a hinge axis about which said plates are rotatable, and
  • said second hinge strip including at least one undulating springlike section which provides a tension force between said offset connection points to bias said hinge plates to one of its open and closed stable positions.
