  • Base plate 168 is assembled at the base of the guides 142, 144.
  • the base plate 168 has a lower recess 170 which engages with the projection 172 on the second inner bush 166. This prevents the second inner bush 166 from turning relative to the inner guide 140. However, the second inner bush 166 and the second outer bush 164 will rotate relative to one another to permit rotation of the lower knuckle portion 118 about the hinge axis.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a fifth preferred embodiment of an adjustable hinge 180.
  • the architecture of the three-part hinge is substantially the same as with the previous embodiment and therefore like numerals will be used to represent like parts.
  • the pin assembly 182 includes a pin 184 which has a threaded lower portion 186 received in first inner bush 206.
  • the pin 184 is retrained from axially movement.
  • a first axially movable portion 188 which is internally threaded is received on the pin 184 for up and down movement depending on rotation of the pin 184.

  • the inner guide 195 is splined within the outer portion 138 as with previous embodiments. Rotation of the pin 184 by a suitable tool being inserted into the hex socket 196 will move the first axially movable portion 188 up or down on the pin 184, bringing about consequent x axis adjustment of the guide 195 and the associated hinge part 120 in a direction along the x axis, as indicated by arrows X.
  • the two shells 194 have a base 200 which defines a recess 202 therebetween for receiving a complementary projection 204 on the top of a first inner bush 206.
  • the inner bush 206 is thus prevented from rotating relative to the pin 184.
  • the inner bush 206 is received within an outer bush 208 and the first inner bush 206 and the first outer bush 208 are relatively rotatable to effect rotation of the lower knuckle portion 118 about the hinge axis.
  • the outer bush 208 is received within threaded member 210 which threadingly engages with second axially movable portion 212.
  • the second axially movable portion 212 is received within the second inner guide 214 which is non-rotatingly received within the outer portion 160.
  • the threaded member 210 is selectively rotatable by using a suitable tool (not shown) inserted into the keyhole (not shown) in a lower part thereof. Rotation of the threaded member 210 brings about axial movement of the second axially movable portion 212 along the hinge axis, with consequent adjustment of the inner guide 214 and the outer portion 160 along the y axis as indicated by arrows Y 2 . The direction depends upon the direction of rotation of the threaded portion 210.
  • An upper plate 198 has a pair of pins 214 which locate the plate 198 relative to the shells 194 of the inner guide 195.
  • a second inner bush 216 has a lower projection 218 which engages within a corresponding shaped recess in the plate 198, preventing rotation of the second inner bush 216.
  • the second inner bush 216 is received within a second outer bush 222.
  • the second outer bush 222 has a base plate 224 which is complementary in shape to a recess provided on the shells 226 of the inner guide 228.
  • the relative rotation permissible between the inner bush 216 and the outer bush 222 enables the knuckle portion 116 to rotate about the hinge axis.
  • the inner guide 228 is splined within the outer portion 158.
  • externally threaded member 230 which has a keyhole slot 232 to permit rotation of the threaded member 230.
  • the threaded member threadingly engages with the third axially movable portion 234.
  • Adjustment of the threaded member 230 through the use of a suitable tool permits the second axially movable portion 234 to move up or down along the hinge axis and achieve the desired y axis adjustment as indicated by arrows Y t .
  • hex socket 196 at the top of the pin 184 is the smallest, with the hex socket 232 being larger.
  • hex socket 94 is the largest. This permits adjustment by an appropriately sized tool into the appropriate hex socket for adjustment. In other words, to access hex socket 196, a tool can be inserted through hex sockets 94, 232, to be fittingly received in hex socket 196.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une charnière réglable (10) qui comprend au moins deux parties de charnière (12, 14) pouvant se déplacer l'une par rapport à l'autre, comprenant chacune une partie d'articulation (12, 14). Un ensemble de broche (20) comprend une partie mobile axialement (22) reçue à l'intérieur de la première partie d'articulation (12) et mobile axialement par rapport à celle-ci dans une direction longitudinale le long de l'axe de la charnière, ou sensiblement parallèlement à celui-ci. La première partie d'articulation (12) comprend une partie extérieure (28) et un guide intérieur (30) qui est fixé anti-rotatif par rapport à la partie externe (28). Le guide intérieur (30) est constitué de deux parties. La partie mobile axialement (22) et le guide intérieur (30) comportent des surfaces (60, 62, 64) venant mutuellement en prise disposées en oblique par rapport à l'axe de la charnière, un premier ensemble (62, 64) et un second ensemble (60) des surfaces venant en prise mutuelle se trouvant sur des côtés opposés de la partie mobile axialement (22) et du guide intérieur (30). La partie mobile axialement (22) peut se déplacer de façon sélective par rapport au guide intérieur (30) dans une direction le long de l'axe de la charnière, ou sensiblement parallèlement à celui-ci, avec un mouvement consécutif de ladite partie d'articulation (12) par rapport à l'axe de la charnière le long d'un premier axe (Y) dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe de la charnière.
