Definitions

  • the invention relates to a joint with at least a first and a second pin bearing, which have longitudinal bores, are relatively rotatably connected to one another via a hinge pin which can be inserted therein and whose relative rotation can be blocked in at least one direction by a part which can be latched into a groove.
  • the hinge pin is sleeve-shaped and receives a spring-loaded locking pin, which has a nose on its head side, which protrudes beyond the uppermost pin bearing, which in turn rotates a pivotable pin bearing a notch engages in the non-swiveling pin bearing.
  • the nose rides on the outer periphery of the pin bearing having the notch.
  • the object to be achieved with the invention is seen in designing the joint in such a way that the lock is not exposed to dirt against pivoting.
  • the groove or snap-in part in a pin bearing are provided in a height-displaceable manner on or between the surfaces of the two pin bearings which bear against one another during the relative rotation.
  • the lock consisting of the groove and the part which can be snapped into the groove is completely surrounded by the pin bearings or the lateral surfaces thereof, so that they are not exposed to external influences.
  • the weight of the part struck on the one pin bearing for example a cabin door of an agricultural tractor, can always be absorbed by the surface of the other pin bearing, so that excessive wear does not occur.
  • the versatility of such a joint is increased according to the invention in that the height-displaceable groove or the height-displaceable part which can be latched into the groove can be used in various positions on the surface of the associated pin bearing.
  • the groove consists of a slope and a side surface perpendicular to the surface of the associated pin bearing, the slope connecting the lowermost edge of the side surface to the surface, the locking effect occurs when pivoting in only one direction, but not in the opposite direction , which is particularly advantageous when opening car doors.
  • a rapid be provided for vertically displaceable receiving an insert having the groove or the latching into the groove b arene part, wherein the insert in different positions in the bag rotating almost insertable.
  • the groove or the part which can be snapped into the groove can be vertically displaceable against the action of at least one spring, or the insert can be vertically displaced against the action of at least one spring.
  • a simple rotation lock is achieved when the pocket and insert are designed as a polygon in cross section.
  • the insert and pocket can have different numbers of corners. The same number of corners is preferable for high loads.
  • the insert can advantageously be provided with a bore for receiving the hinge pin.
  • a plurality of grooves and parts which can be latched into the grooves can also be provided for large loads.
  • the part which can be latched into the groove can be vertically movable in the insert against the action of a spring.
  • a slight sliding into or apart from one another is achieved in that the groove and the part which can be snapped into the groove are designed to be complementary.
  • the groove or snap-in part can be arranged at a distance from the lateral periphery of the associated pin bearing.
  • the joint 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be used to connect a door 12 to a frame 14 or the like.
  • the joint can also be used to connect windows, flaps, etc. Find use, but the preferred application is seen in the articulation of a door on a vehicle, that is, wherever the space is limited, but stylistic aspects should be considered.
  • the joint 10 has a first pin bearing 16 and a second pin bearing 18, which are expediently cylindrical and which have longitudinal bores 20 and 22 aligned with one another. These serve to receive a longer hinge pin 24.
  • the latter is provided with an enlarged head 26 and the end 28 remote from the head is above the lower pin bearing 18 over and there has an opening 30 for receiving a pin 32.
  • the hinge pin 24 serves to hold the joint together, and the securing can also take place via parts other than the pin 32.
  • a multi-sided pocket 34 is incorporated, which is open to the lower end 36 of the pin bearing 16 and axially aligned with the longitudinal bore 20.
  • the pocket can be provided with the same but also with unequal longitudinal side parts. These can be flat, curved or flat and curved. In terms of production, it is easiest if the pocket is triangular, square, square, rectangular, polygonal or hexagonal in cross section. In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the pocket is hexagonal in cross section with flat sides. Instead of the flat sides, semicircular forms can also be used, which should then be arranged at angles of 90 ° to one another.
  • An insert 38 can be inserted flush into the pocket 34. 2, the insert is also hexagonal with flat sides. However, it is not necessary for the insert to have the same number of corners as the pocket, although this may be preferred in certain embodiments. The number of corners can be larger or smaller, it is only important that the insert 38 can be inserted non-rotatably into the pocket 34 in such a way that it can assume a variety of positions.
  • the insert can be triangular and the pocket hexagonal, or the insert square and the pocket also square or only the insert square and the pocket octagonal.
  • the insert 38 also has a through bore 40 which can be widened toward its upper end 42 there to form a bore 44 with a larger diameter.
  • a spring 46 is received, the length of which is somewhat greater than the length of the bore 44, so that the insert 38 is under spring tension in the installed state, since then the spring abuts against the top 48 of the rapid 34.
  • the insert 38 On its otherwise closed underside 50, which has the smaller bore 40, the insert 38 is provided with a downwardly protruding tooth 52 which can engage in a corresponding groove 54 which is machined into the surface 56 of the second pin bearing 18.
  • Tooth 52 and groove 54 are designed such that the tooth 52 can snap into the groove 54 when the first pin bearing 16 rotates on the second pin bearing 18, the joint then being locked against further turning in the same direction. When turning in the opposite direction, the tooth 52 can easily emerge from the groove 54 again.
  • the groove 54 is formed with a bevel 58 and with a vertical side surface 60. This is arranged radially to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal bore and perpendicular to the surface 56.
  • the tooth 52 is provided with corresponding surfaces, that is, it also has a bevel 62 and a vertical side surface 64. If the two side surfaces 60 and 64 bear against one another, the joint is locked against rotation in one direction.
  • the bevels 58 and 62 slide on one another until the tooth 52 has emerged from the groove 54.
  • the groove 54 is spaced from the outer periphery of the second pin bearing 18, thereby preventing dirt or other contaminants that would reduce the life of the joint from entering the joint 10.
  • Other profiles for the groove and the tooth can also be used.
  • the groove in the insert and the tooth can be provided on a pin bearing. Bag and insert could also be interchanged.
  • the two pin bearings should always lie against one another in use, so that the minimum height of the pocket corresponds to the height of the insert plus the height of the tooth.
  • the pin bearing 16 and the pin bearing 18 can make a relative rotation until the tooth 52 engages in the groove 54.
  • the tooth 52 slides on the surface 56 of the second pin bearing 18 in order to then snap into the groove 54 due to the force of gravity and / or the spring 46. Since this joint can be used on many different devices that are to have different maximum opening angles, it is necessary that the relative rotation can be varied before the locking action occurs due to the tooth engaging in the groove. This is achieved in that the insert 38 is rotated at an angle when inserted into the pocket 34. The most diverse positions depend on the corners of the insert and the pocket. This also specifies the maximum swivel range.
  • the pocket and insert are hexagonal in cross section, so that the swivel range is always a multiple of 60 °. Tooth and groove are always separated by 60 ° intervals in the starting position or closed position. If, on the other hand, the pocket 34 has 12 corners and the insert has only six, the intervals between tooth and groove in the starting position are 30 °. The more corners are provided, the more precisely the respective open locking position can be determined, simply in that the insert is correspondingly inserted before being inserted into the pocket is rotated correctly.
  • Such joints 10 can be used particularly advantageously in agricultural tractors with different cabin sizes. Because, depending on the tractor version, the maximum opening angle of the cabin door can be limited by fenders, oversized tires etc.
  • the locking position of the joint is then to be chosen so that the cabin door does not hit bodies on the tractor, but allows the greatest possible opening angle.
  • the pocket 34 ' is octagonal there. It serves to receive an insert 38 'with a square cross section.
  • the latter is provided with two grooves 54 'into which two teeth 52', which are provided on the second pin bearing 18 ', can engage.
  • Fig. 4 shows a hinge for doors which are relatively light and which require relatively low forces to hold them in their open or locked position.
  • the locking is achieved in this embodiment by a spring-loaded pin 68, which is inserted into an elongated bore 70 of the insert 72, which is square here in cross section.
  • the pin 68 corresponds to the teeth of the above-described embodiments and can engage in the locking position in a groove 74 which is also provided with a bevel 76.
  • the relatively strong spring 46 according to the embodiment 2 and 3 is replaced here by a small spring 78.
  • the bore 44 with the large diameter is then also no longer required.
  • the pocket is square in cross section.
