Abstract
A door hinge includes a turning body 4 and a fixed body 3 pivotally coupled by an axial bolt 5. The fixed body includes two protrusions 31 that form a penetrating hole 32 and a screw thread hole 33 is disposed in each protrusion. The turning body 4 includes a penetrating hole 42 disposed at an end of a protrusion and at least one transversal screw hole 42 combining a protruding bolt 6, a long spring coil 7 and a rotary screw bolt 8. The long spring coil 7 is clamped between the protruding bolt 6 and the rotary screw bolt 8, such that the resilience of the long spring coil 7 can be adjusted by turning of the screw bolt 8. The axial bolt 5 includes two sunken surfaces 51 and a tilted sunken groove 52 for adjusting an opening angle of the door. The hinge structure may be installed at upper and lower positions on a door and door frame. The hinge structure allows the door to be installed in a one-time construction and allows the door to be automatically returned to its closed position.
Description
Title: DOOR HThGE STRUCTURE The present invention relates to a door
hinge structure, and more particularly to a door hinge structure that includes a turning body and a fixed body respectively installed at upper and lower lateral positions of a door and a door frame, the turning body and the fixed body being pivotally coupled by an axial bolt, so as to achieve the effects of installing the door successftully at one time and restoring the door to its closed position.
In general, a door is mounted onto a door frame by installing a binge module separately at upper and lower positions of the door frame for opening or closing the door. To achieve the effect of resuming a closed position after the door is opened, an automatic door closing device is usually installed, so that the reaction of the automatic door closing device will return the opened door to its original position. Although such an affangement is effective, it requires the installation of an automatic door closing device. Furthermore, the automatic door closing device is installed after the hinges of the door are installed, and thus it takes the time for performing a "two-time construction". Finding a way of achieving the same effect by using a "one-time construction" not only saves time, but also lowers costs, which are definitely advantageous to consumers.
In view of the foregoing shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience on the related field to conduct extensive experiments and modifications and finally developed a door hinge structure in accordance with the present invention.
Therefore, it is a primary aim of the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a door hinge structure that can be installed by a one-time construction with a self-closing facility.
According to the invention there is provided a door hinge structure, comprising a turning body and a fixed body adapted to be installed respectively in upper and lower lateral positions of a door and a door frame, wherein said turning body and said fixed body are pivotally coupled by an axial bolt, wherein said fixed body includes a hollow penetrating hole disposed on two protrusions and a parallel transversal screw thread hole disposed in each protrusion and penetrated through an inner edge of said penetrating hole for an interconnection; said turning body includes a vertical hollow penetrating hole disposed at an end of a protrusion, a plurality of transversal screw holes disposed on said turning body for installing and combining a protruding bolt, a long spring coil, and a rotary screw bolt; and both ends of said long spring coil are clamped and coupled by a protruding centre of said protruding bolt and an indent in said rotary screw bolt, and an external screw thread on an external surface of said rotary screw bolt is screwed with a screw hole in said turning body for adjusting the resilience of the long spring coil; and said axial bolt includes a sunken surface separately disposed at upper and lower positions facing said fixed body, and a tilted sunken groove disposed at a position facing the middle of said turning body for adjusting an opening angle of said door whereby the resilience of said transversal long spring coil installed in said turning body is enhanced to achieve the effects of installing said door by a one-time construction and restoring said door to its closed position.
The invention will now be described in detail, by way of example, with reference to the drawings in which:-Fig. 1 A is a perspective view of one embodiment of a door hinge structure according to the present invention; Fig. lB is an enlarged perspective view of one of the door hinges shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 2A is an exploded perspective view of one embodiment of a door hinge structure according to the present invention; Fig. 2B is another exploded perspective view of the door hinge structure shown in Fig2A; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the assembled door hinge structure according to the invention; Fig. 4 is a section through a door hinge structure according to the invention mounted on a door and a door frame and showing the door in the open position; Fig. 5 is a section similar to Fig. 4 but showing a closing movement of the door hinge structure according to the present invention; and Fig. 6 is a section similar to Fig. 4 but showing the door in the closed position.
Referring to Figs. IA, lB and 2A of the drawings, a door hinge structure of the invention comprises a turning body 4 and a fixed body 3 respectively installed at upper and lower lateral positions of a door 1 and a door frame 2. The turning body 4 and the fixed body 3 are pivotally coupled by an axial bolt 5. Two protrusions 31 on the fixed body 3 each have a hollow penetrating hole 32 a parallel transversal screw thread hole 33 penetrated into an inner edge of the penetrating hole 32 for an interconnection. A protrusion 41 on the turning body 4 has a vertical hollow penetrating hole 42 and the turning body 4 has a plurality of transversal screw holes 43 disposed thereon for installing and combining protruding bolts 6, long spring coils 7 and rotary screw bolts 8. Further, an axial bolt 5 has a sunken surface 5! separately disposed at upper and lower positions of the fixed body 3, and a plurality of tilted sunken grooves 52 are disposed at positions facing the middle of the turning body 4. Both ends of the long spring coils 7 are clamped and coupled by protruding centres 61 of the protruding bolts 6 and indents 81 in the rotary screw bolts 8, and external screw threads 82 disposed on external surfaces of the rotary screw bolts 8 are screwed into screw holes 43 disposed in the turning body 4 for adjusting the resilience of the long spring coils 7, such that after two sets of turning bodies 4 and fixed bodies 3 are installed respectively at upper and lower lateral positions of the door 1 and the door frame 2, and the protrusion 41 of the turning body 4 is embedded between the two protrusions 31 of the fixed body 3, the penetrating holes 32, 42 can be provided for passing the axial bolt 5 (as shown in Fig. 3), and the sunken surfaces 51 on both upper and lower ends of the axial bolt 5 are in contact with long screws 3A through the screw thread holes 33 of the fixed body 3, and the tilted sunken grooves 52 disposed at the middle of the axial bolt 5 are engaged by the protruding bolts 6 by means of the resilience of the long spring coils 7 (as shown in Fig. 4), so as to adjust the opening angle of the door 1.
If the door I and the door frame 2 are installed with the turning body 4 and the fixed body 3 respectively and the turning body 4 and the fixed body 3 are coupled by an axial bolt 5 (as shown in Figs. IA and IB), the length of the long spring coils 7 installed in the transversal screw holes 43 of the turning body 4 will be increased to enhance the resilience. After the door 1 is pushed open (as shown in Fig. 4), a push in the opposite direction restores the door 1 to its closed position (as shown in Figs. 5 and 6), and thus the installed structure of the present invention can overcome the inconvenience of the traditional "two-time construction" of the hinge and automatic door closing device by adopting a "one-time construction" and save time and costs.
In summation of the above description, the present invention definitely achieves the desired aim and provides an improved structure to enhance the performance over
the prior art.
