Definitions

  • This hinge device with friction-type built-in door retainer is designed more particularly for the side doors of automotive vehicles and comprises two straps, one strap having its parallel wings pivoted to a pivot pin extending between the parallel wings of the other strap, the wings of the first strap being interconnected, beyond said pin, by a first door holding member lying on the path of a second door holding member secured between the wings of the other strap.
  • One of these two holding members is adapted to recede against the resilient force of a spring when engaged by the other member.
  • the present invention is applicable more particularly but not exclusively to a type of hinge with built-in door check for the lateral doors of automotive vehicles, which comprises a pair of straps each formed with a pair of wings interconnected by a web constituting a fastening plate, a first strap pivoting about a pivot pin in the other strap, the wings of the first strap being disposed between those of the other strap.
  • the hinge device is characterized in that the free or outer ends of the wings of the first strap extend beyond the pivot pin and are interconnected by a first door-holding or check member having a rectilinear shaped surface of which at least one portion opposite to said pivot pin is parallel thereto and projects between said free ends.
  • This first holding member is adapted to co-act with a second holding member extending through the wings of said second strap, between the fastening plate or web thereof and said pivot pin, said second holding member having a rectilinear shaped surface of which at least the portion facing the pivot pin is parallel thereto and lies on the path of the shaped surface of the first holding member.
  • One of the two shaped surfaces is adapted to retract or recede under the pressure exerted by the other shaped surface, against the resistance of a resilient force.
  • said second holding member consists of a cylindrical rod engaging slots formed in the wings of the other strap and directed substantially radially in relation to said pivot pin.
  • the first holding member consists of a small bar rigid with the wings of the first strap and of which the shaped surface is formed on a friction member rigid with 'said bar.
  • Said resilient force is provided by a curved spring blade substantially parallel to the pivot pin extending through said slots and tensioned between on the one hand the slot ends remotest from said pivot pin and on the other hand the central portion of said rod.
  • one of the door-holding members consists of a cylindrical rod having its ends retained by the wings of one of the two straps, the other holding member consisting of a socket of elastomeric material which surrounds a rod having its ends retained in the axial direction by the wings of the other strap.
  • FIG. I is an elevational view with parts broken away illustrating a hinge device according to this invention, provided with a spring blade
  • FIG. 2 is a detail view showing the spring blade alone
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view from above showing the hinge device of FIG. 1, I
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 1 but showing a modified form of embodiment of the hinge device equipped with a tubular spring of elastomeric material
  • FIG. 5 is a detail view showing the tubular spring of FIG. 4, and
  • the hinge according to this invention comprises a pair of straps l, 2 of pressed, bent or folded sheet metal; each strap comprises a pair of wings I and 2' bent at right angles to the corresponding web.
  • the two wings of each strap are interconnected by a web 3, 4 constituting at the same time a fastening plate.
  • the hinge is adapted to be secured by means of a web 3 to the stile or jamb of the vehicle body (not shown), and by means of the other web 4 to the door proper (not shown).
  • a pair of aligned slots 5 receiving on the one hand a spring blade 6 formed at each ends with a pair of lateral notches 7 and on the other hand a cylindrical rod 8 formed with an integral retaining head 9.
  • the spring 6 is wider than the slots 5 and the notches 7 permit the mounting of the spring blade by firstly introducing same after rotating it through in relation to its operative position. Moreover, this spring blade is curved in the unstressed condition.
  • the rod 8 is engaged into said slots 5 after the spring blade 6 and bears against the latter and also against one end of each slot 5.
  • this bar comprises a supporting strip 10 to which a friction strip 11 of a material having a high coefficient of friction is secured.
  • this friction strip 11 may consist of brake shoe lining material.
  • the straps I and 2 are pivoted to each other by means of a pivot pin 12 consisting of a spindle having an enlarged head this pivot pin 12 extends through holes formed in the four wings to be pivotally assembled and is retained in its axial position by means of an external circlip 13 engaging an annular groove formed in thespindle end portion opposite to said head.
  • a pivot pin 12 consisting of a spindle having an enlarged head this pivot pin 12 extends through holes formed in the four wings to be pivotally assembled and is retained in its axial position by means of an external circlip 13 engaging an annular groove formed in thespindle end portion opposite to said head.
  • the friction plate engages the rod 8 and causes same to recede against the resistance of spring blade 6.
  • the spring resistance constitutes the hard point necessary for releasably holding the door in the desired open position. This point may be disposed asymmetrically by properly shaping the cross sectional contour of plate 11.
  • the resilient member is disposed between the pivot pin and the axis of said hard or retaining point, thus implying a relatively short and therefore weak lever arm.
  • the resilient member is positioned beyond the axis of the hard or retaining point in relation to the pivot pin, thus increasing appreciably the lever arm and therefore the efficiency of the hinge system.
  • a hinge device with built-in door retainer for the lateral doors of motor vehicles which comprises two straps each formed with a pair of parallel wings interconnected at one end by a perpendicular web constituting the fastening plate, a first strap revolving about a pivot pin within the other strap, the wings of the first strap being engaged between those of the other strap, thefree ends of the wings of said first strap extending beyond said pivot pin and being interconnected by a first holding member formed with a rectilinear shaped surface of which at least one portion opposite to said pivot pin is parallel to said pivot pin and projects slightly beyond said free ends, said first holding member being adapted to co-act with another holding member extending through the wings of said other strap between its fastening plate and said pivot pin, said other holding member comprising a rectilinear shaped radially in relation to said ivot in, said first h oldin member IS a small bar Hg] with he wings of said firs strap and having its shaped surface formed on a friction member rigid with
  • a hinge device with built-in door retainer for the lateral doors of motor vehicles which comprises two straps each formed with a pair of parallel wings interconnected at one end by a perpendicular web constituting the fastening plate, a first strap revolving about a pivot pin within the other strap, the wings of the first strap being engaged between those of the other strap, the free ends of the wings of said first strap extending beyond said pivot pin and being interconnected by a first holding member formed with a rectilinear'shaped surface of which at least one portion opposite to said pivot pin is parallel to .said pivot pin and projects slightly beyond said free ends, said first holding member being adapted to co-act with another holding member extending through the wings of said other strap between its fastening plate and said pivot pin, said other holding member comprising a rectilinear shaped surface of which at least the portion facing said pivot pin is parallel to said pin and lies in the path of the shaped surface of said first holding member, one of said shaped surfaces being adapted to retract under the pressure of the other shaped
  • Hinge device wherein said cylindrical ro'd formed with a retaining head engages a circular hole-formed in the wings of the other strap and said roll of elastomeric material is mounted with play on the rod rigid with the wings of the first strap.
