  • In the open state there is a limiting element on the lower area of the holding element.
  • the hood can be from be removed from the vehicle when the hood is partially open is by the rod through an opening in the hook-shaped Area is pushed.
  • the pin can only in one or possibly in pass several predetermined positions through the opening and leave the recess, causing the Coverage of the vehicle becomes possible.
  • the cone is in the Recess held as long as the area of the cross section of the Pin with the larger or a maximum diameter in Area of the opening is arranged. However, the area of the cross section with the smaller diameter or one Minimum diameter aligned with the opening, so the Cover and thus the pin are moved so that the pin emerge from the recess and thus the cover can be completely removed from the vehicle.
  • the opening can be arranged so that the Pin cannot exit through the opening when the Cover in its closed position, in which it is a Assembly, a housing opening or the engine compartment of a Vehicle covers, or in a fully open Position is, for example, to carry out minor maintenance work.
  • a decrease in Cover is preferably only in an intermediate position possible, in which the cover, for example, by a Operator must be kept and they do not can take itself automatically permanently.
  • the pin can be attached to the Welded cover, with this for example on a screwed flange provided in the pin or in another usual way be fixed or releasably connected or also a fixed or releasable part of another represent the cover of connected component. It is also conceivable that the pin is molded directly into the cover.
  • the pin can be used both as a solid and as a hollow body be formed, generally one of a pin a protruding component different Execution can be understood.
  • the cover is by its weight in the recess held.
  • the opening is preferably such arranged that the focus of the cover both in the closed as well as in the fully open position is outside the opening so the cover is not can automatically reach a position in which the pin can enter the opening because it is due to the weight the cover is held in the recess. Only through that An operator acting the cover over their swiveled stable position and possibly lifts, the Cover can be removed from the vehicle.
  • the recess can be essentially round, which makes turning the pin in the recess easier becomes. It preferably has an inside diameter of is only slightly larger than the larger or the Maximum diameter of the cross section of the pin, so one Guide the pin on the inner diameter and thus a smooth movement of the cover during pivoting to enable.
  • the pin preferably has one at least approximately rounded area with which the Pin on one during pivoting of the cover Inner diameter of the recess, which is also preferably is round at least in some areas can slide along this. But it is also conceivable that the Pin an at least approximately oval cross-section which also has a more flattened May have area. Also a rectangular cross section with deviating edge lengths are conceivable.
  • the pin is of the type a circular section or D-shaped and thus a flattened as well as a rounded area having.
  • Such a hinge is preferably used to connect a Hood used on a vehicle that has an engine compartment of the Vehicle covers and only open for normal maintenance work or for larger repairs completely from the vehicle can be removed.
  • Such Vehicles can, for example, garden tractors or Ride-on mowers but also other devices such as sweepers or Snow blowers or similar.
  • This stop can, for example, in the Type of component protruding from the cover, such as one with this fixed or releasably connected sheet metal, so that the position varies with the position of the cover. It but it is also conceivable that the stop on the holding element such, for example schwenbkar, is provided that it from the operator must be adjusted before removing the cover is possible.
  • This stop element is preferably on the cover arranged and can, for example, in certain positions Cover cover the opening or preferably on bear against the holding element and during pivoting this slide along, so that a displacement of the cover is counteracted.
  • FIGS. 1-4 in which the preferred embodiment of the present invention shown becomes.
  • Figure 1 shows a lawn tractor or a vehicle 10 that the present invention is adapted for use.
  • the Vehicle 10 has a frame 12 and touching the ground Wheels 14 on.
  • the vehicle 10 closes a drive (not shown), the wheels 14 touching the ground and others Vehicle attachments such as a cutting deck or a snow blower drives.
  • the drive is housed in an engine compartment 16.
  • a hood or cover 18 is connected to the vehicle 10, to generally drive and other vehicle components enclose.
  • the cover 18 can still top and front in one open position pivoted and by the vehicle 10 also to be completely removed as detailed below will be described.
  • a hinge 20 shown according to the present invention A couple of Hinges 20 are in lower front areas of the interior the cover 18 is provided; the front right hinge 20 is shown in Figure 1.
  • the hinge 20 has a holder or an abutment element 22 which is immovable via screws 24 is connected to the inside of the cover 20.
  • a cone 26 is immobile, for example by cold forming, deep drawing or welding connected to the contact element 22, as it is on best seen in Figure 4.
  • the pins 26 extend sideways inwards towards the center line of the Vehicle 10 and have a D-shaped cross section 28.
  • the D-shaped cross section 28 is a semicircular Area 30 and a flat area 32 determined.
  • the D-shaped Cross section 28 of the pin 26 is through a recess 34 held in a by bolt 38 on the frame 12th attached retaining element 36 is molded.
  • the holding element 36 generally supports the pin 26 and therefore at least a portion the weight of the cover 18 during operation of the Vehicle 10 from.
  • the recess 34 has a semicircular shape a diameter that is only slightly larger than that Diameter of the semicircular area 30 of the pin 26. This allows the pin 26 in the recess 34 around the central Axis of the recess 34 and in close contact with the inner To pivot diameter 40 of the recess 34 when the Cover 18 is pivoted into its different positions.
  • the holding element 36 defines an opening 42 to the recess 34.
  • the pin 26 can by the opening 42 come to the pin 26 from the recess 34th to remove cover 18 from vehicle 10 remove.
  • the pin 26 can be aligned to match it Permit pin 26 through opening 42 for insertion of the Pin 26 during the placement of the cover 18 in the Recess 34 to arrive, as follows in more detail is described.
  • cover 18 in a closed or first Position is Hinge 20 aligned as shown in Figure 2 in solid lines is shown.
  • the D-shaped Cross section 28 of the pin 26 is in the recess 34 arranged.
  • the curved or semicircular area 30 of the Pin 26 is disposed adjacent opening 42.
  • the Opening 42 is smaller than the diameter of the semicircular Area 30 of the pin 26, and therefore the pin 26 can not pass through the opening 42 when it is oriented as it is shown in Figure 2 in solid lines. Therefore the pin 26 when the cover 18 is in its closed or first position, safely in the Recess 34 included because the semicircular area 30 of Pin 26 is too large to pass through the opening 42, when the pin 26 is aligned in the first position.
  • An operator can cover 18 in a second Open position in which the contents of the engine compartment 16 in general is accessible for maintenance work.
  • the operator pivots the cover 18 of the position shown in solid lines in FIG up and forward to the position shown in Figure 2 in broken lines is shown. If the cover 18 is pivoted upwards in the direction of the second position, slide the outer edges of the semicircular region 30 of the Pin 26 on the inner diameter 40 of the recess 34 along or lie against it. The pin 26 swings gently inside the recess 34 until the fully open one Position is reached, as shown in Figure 2 in interrupted Lines is shown.
  • In this fully open or second position is a contact area 44 of the contact element 22 on the underside of the holding element 36.
  • the Pin 26 of the curved inner diameter 40 of the Recess 34 worn.
  • the pin 26 by the presence of the lower edge region 46 of the Holding member 36, the front lower portion of the Recess 34 determines, prevents or prevents it, to push forward through opening 42.
  • the pin 26 would have to be swiveled slightly from the second position and then over the edge region 46 of the holding element 26 can be raised to it to allow the pin 26 to pass through the opening 42.
  • the weight of the cover 18 and the contact of the contact element 22 against the underside of the holding element 36 prevents this in general. Therefore, the pin 26 and the cover 18 remain in the fully open position and become general prevented from being detached from the vehicle 10 until this is done by an operator.
  • the cover 18 can be replaced by a Operator completely removed from vehicle 10 to be more accessible and more open to that Drive and other vehicle components to allow in the Engine compartment 16 are arranged.
  • the operator pivots the Cover 18 slightly from the second or fully open Position in the direction of the first or closed position to a third position is reached.
  • the third position pivots the contact area 44 of the contact element 22 away from the Holding element 36, which is a space for the pin 26 for Provides to over the lower edge area 46 of the Holding element 36 to be lifted.
  • the operator can easily move the pin 26 upwards the lower edge region 46 in the position shown in Figure 3 lift and forward through opening 42 out of the recess 34 pulling the cover 18 from the vehicle 10 away.
  • the curved inner diameter of the lower area opening 42 allows the operator to pivot pin 26 to slide slightly upwards over the lower edge area 46, as soon as the pin 26 has been pivoted into the third position. This allows the cover 18 to be easily removed from the Vehicle 10.
  • the operator aligns the pin 26 so that it through the opening 42 can reach. Influences the operator then the cover 18 until the pin 26 through the opening 42 enters the recess 34.
