Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly for forming a hinge. Specifically, the present invention relates to a hinge pin and to an assembly therefor for use with, a door system to form a hinge axis to allow the door to move about the hinge axis.
  • a hinge is made up of two hinge members, one of which is mounted on the door and the other on the frame, and it has a hinge pin, which is slidably receivable by both hinge members.
  • the hinge pin functions as a hinge axis and the door is able to swing about the hinge axis.
  • An enclosure such as a cabinet, typically includes a door hinged thereto, through which access to the interior is obtained.
  • a user typically needs to install or remove the hinge pin to remove the door from the frame upon which the door is mounted.
  • the installation or removal of the hinge pin is sometimes not easily achieved and often involves great difficulty, requiring both hands of the user or the hand of at least two people and in addition, sometimes the need for a tool to facilitate installation or removal of the hinge pin.
  • the door is for an enclosure housing electrical wiring, such as a fuse box or electrical meter housing and the like
  • electrical wiring such as a fuse box or electrical meter housing and the like
  • space to access the wiring within is often a problem. It is frequently the case that an electrician wishing to work on the wiring is required to remove the door completely from the housing in order to gain more space in which to work.
  • Hinge pins are generally in the form of a metal rod, one end of which is flared so that the pin does not fall through the opening of the hinge members.
  • a hinge pin requires considerable force and dexterity exerted by a worker to effect its removal from a hinge.
  • the hinge pin may have rusted or simply because of the weight of the door hanging on the hinge this can cause sufficient Motional engagement to prevent the easy removal of the hinge pin from the hinge.
  • the stubborn pin is removed, it can slip from the worker's grasp, drop and be lost. Therefore, when the pin is removed, the worker has to ensure that it is safely secured, so that when it is required again, it has not been misplaced.
  • hinge pins and assemblies using the same that are simple to use.
  • One type of hinge pin is that described in European Patent No. 0359857.
  • This hinge pin has a locking mechanism formed on one end of the hinge pin to engage a hinge bore thereby preventing its removal. While this type of hinge pin is readily insertable into the hinge bore, it can be very difELcult to remove, as the woiker has to use both his hands, or at least the hands of two workers to hold and support the door to prevent it from falling, when the pin is ultimately removed, while at the same time tiying to disengage the locking mechanism from the hinge bore and remove the hinge pin. This can pose logistical problems and additional financial burdens for a company that has contracted to do the work.
  • hinge pin is that described in United States Patent Application No. 2008/0295285.
  • This type of hinge pin has a clip nmning along the length of the hinge pin.
  • the clip When the hinge pin is inserted into a hinge bore, the clip releasably engages an outside slot located adjacent to the bore to thereby restrict its release.
  • To remove the pin from the bore the user needs to push the pin outwardly and then upwardly, which operation can be achieved with one hand, with the other hand supporting the door.
  • This type of hinge pin is an improvement over the hinge pin described in EP0359857 in that the hinge pin is both insertable and removable single-handedly.
  • the hinge pin is only retained in position in the bore while the door is connected to the frame. Further, once the hinge pin is removed from the bore, the hinge pin needs to be stored nearby or held in the hand of the user fox reinsertion and mounting of the door. On many occasions, the pin is lost and a replacement pin has to be found in order for the door to be reinstalled.
  • a hinge pin assembly including one that facilitates easy installation and or removal of a door, where the hinge pin remains in contact with one of the hinge members when the door is removed from the frame.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome or at least ameliorate some of the problems associated with the prior art Summary of the Invention

  • the hinge pin assembly 100 is formed when a hinge member 400 is received into hinge member receiving zone 320, whereby an integrated bore 310,410 is formed into which pin.210 is fully receivable. Once assembled, a door installed using the hinge pin assembly 100 is able to pivot about the pin 210 acting as a hinge axis.
  • Retention arm 220 preferably includes two catches, a proximal catch 221 and a distal catch 222, relative to the pin device base 230, positioned along the length of the retention arm 220 and a terminal hook member 223 at a free end of the retention arm 220, distal to the pin device base 230.
  • Catches 221,222 are in the form of grooves running across the breadth of the retention arm 220.
  • Catches 221,222 may act as a register of the arm's position relative to the pin receiving member 300 or may act in conjunction with the terminal hook member 223 as a register of the arm's position relative to the pin receiving member 300.
  • the catches 221,222 and terminal hook member 223 co-act to positively engage with pin receiving member 300 to substantially prevent accidental removal of pin 210 from pin receiving member 300.
  • Pin 210 is substantially cylindrical.
  • the shape of the pin 210 is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and may take the form of any suitable shape. As illustrated in Figure 2, the pin 210 is shorter relative to retention arm 220.
  • pin 210 is substantially removed from the hinge member receiving zone 320. In this state, pin 210 is partially removed from the bore 10 and allows for insertion of a hinge member 400 within the hinge member receiving zone 320 of the pin receiving member 300.

  • Opposing side walls 231,233 are separated from top wall 235 by at least one opening 236 which permit side walls 231,233 to be squeezed together, which movement in turn causes simultaneous separation of retention arm 220 away from the pin 210.

  • retention arm 220 is substantially planar and extends from one of the side walls 234 of the pin device base 230.
  • the retention arm 220 is angled towards the pin 210, rather than being aligned parallel to side walls 231,233. This preferred orientation is better shown in the end-on view shown in Figure 2C. This preferred orientation of the retention arm 220 assists in in the movement of the hinge pin assembly 100 between the first and second engaged states.
  • side walls 231.233 are initially grasped and compressed together. Compression of the side walls 231,233 forces them to contract towards each other, which in turn, moves the retention arm 220 away from the pin receiving member 300. Compression of the side walls 231,233 also moves terminal hook member 223 out of contact with the pin receiving member 300.
  • the top wall 235 of the pin base 230 preferably farther comprises an aperture 237.
  • Aperture 237 is most preferably adapted to allow a tool, such as a screw driver, to be inserted therein for leverage to assist slidable movement of the binge pin assembly 100 between the first and second engaged states.
  • the top wail 23S further incorporates visual indicators 238 to assist the user in this determination.
  • the top wall 23S is partially visible so that only one of the visual indicators 238 can be seen by the user, when the pin assembly 100 is in either the first or second engaged states.
