Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to an adjustable hinge for closures for apertures and, more particularly, for closures such as doors which are to align with frames for receiving same.
  • the invention is directed to adjustable hinges for heavy doors and also, double doors wherein one door is supported and hinged to another door which, in turn, is hinged to a supporting post or frame therefor.
  • Such an arrangement may be found in side opening transport or shipping containers.
  • Hinges used for mounting certain types of heavy doors such as the doors of transport containers, in particular shipping containers, are often welded to the steel structure of the container, and in particular, the surrounding frame to a door aperture. Alignment of such hinges is extremely difficult and, with distortion caused by welding, misalignment of doors with their associated frames is reasonably common place. In addition, even if a door is correctly aligned, such a system can result in stresses being present in the connections of the hinges to the supporting frames which can, in turn, ultimately give rise to broken hinges and associated problems.
  • a hinge assembly comprising a base supporting a pivot for a hinge, said base having means for securing it by means of at least one fastener to a door frame, an associated anchor spaced apart laterally from the base and wherein the anchor is held captive relative to the door frame, the anchor and base each being provided with screw-threaded holes of opposite hand extending transversely to the axis of the pivot and each receiving one screw-threaded zone of a complimentarily screw-threaded adjuster stud having a formation intermediate its ends for engagement by a tool for rotating same to adjust the relative positions of the anchor and base in a direction transverse the axis of the pivot.
  • the base to be adapted to be attached to the frame by means of bolts or cap screws extending through the frame and a back-up plate on the opposite side of the frame; for the anchor member to be secured to the periphery of the frame or inside a peripheral bead to the door frame; for the axis of the adjuster stud to extend at right angles to the axis of the hinge pivot in elevation; for the base and thus the hinge assembly to be located on the outside of the door frame; and for the hinge pivot to support a hinge member extending, in the closed condition, over the anchor and adjustment stud.
  • the invention still further provides a transport or shipping container, in particular a side opening container having double door assemblies, wherein the doors are hinged to the container door frame through hinge assemblies as defined above.
  • adjustable hinges 1 are employed to hinge assemblies pairs of doors 2 of a transport container hinged one to the other, to a frame 3.
  • the hinges each comprise a base 4 adapted to be clamped to a plate-like frame member 5 of the surround to the doorway.
  • the base provides a pivot 6 for a hinge member 7 which is secured at its free end to a door 8.
  • the base has a plurality of screw-threaded holes 9 which receive bolts or cap screws 10 extending through the frame plate 5 and a back-up plate 11.
  • An anchor nut 12 is fixed to the periphery of the doorway and the nut has a left-hand threaded hole receiving a left-hand thread portion 14 of an adjustment stud 15, the other end 16 of which extends into a complimentarily right hand screw-threaded hole in the base 4.
  • the axis of the stud 15 extends, in elevation, at right angles to the axis of the pivot 6 of the hinge and thus can adjust the base in a direction towards and away from the periphery of the doorway.
  • the central region of the stud has a hexagonal formation so that it can be rotated by means of a spanner.
  • the bolts or cap screws are loosened somewhat and the adjustment stud rotated until the door is properly aligned or the hinge is properly aligned with other hinges.
  • the bolts or cap screws can then be tightened.
  • the base could be permanently secured to the frame plate 5 by spot welds or the like.
  • the exact nature of the hinge can be varied widely.
  • the anchor 12 and base 4 could be incorporated in a single unit wherein the unit is secured to a door frame.
  • the manner in which the base is ultimately secured to the door frame can be varied widely.
  • the invention thus provides a simple yet effective adjustable hinge for certain types of doors or other closures as well as transport and shipping containers having doors fitted using such hinges.
