Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a hinge suitable for being applied as an opening / closing mechanism for a Buddhist altar door or a book shelf opening door.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In traditional Buddhist altars, the altar doors are attached to the altar body via hinges so that they can be opened and closed freely. In this state, another person had to remove the wood screw that fixed the hinge to the altar of the altar or the main body of the altar, which was not only troublesome, but also had the inconvenience of requiring two operators. .. In order to eliminate such inconvenience, there is a method of using a slide type hinge (a structure in which a pair of flat plates forming the hinge are pulled out in the axial direction of each other) and lifting the altar door to remove it from the altar body. Proposed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the method using the sliding hinge, when trying to lift the Buddhist altar door, the Buddhist altar door abuts the protruding parts such as the top plate or the upper stile of the main body of the Buddhist altar, and the work of removing the altar door is smooth. There are cases where you cannot do it.

On the other hand, a candle or the like is often placed in front of the Buddhist altar door, but since the Buddhist altar door is rotatably supported by the Buddhist altar body, especially when the Buddhist altar body is installed tilted, There was a risk that they would be pushed to the door of the altar. For the same reason, when the Buddhist altar was exhibited, there was also the problem that the door of the altar was in an unstable state and looked bad.

The same applies to doors other than Buddhist altar doors (for example, doors that open bookcases).

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention makes it possible to smoothly perform the work of removing the altar door and the opening door of the book shelf, and at the same time, the occurrence of a situation in which a candle or the like is pushed off or the appearance becomes poor. The purpose is to provide a hinge that can be prevented.

The connecting members 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 are formed so that their inner diameters (that is, the diameters of the engaging holes 6a, 7a, 9a, 10a and 11a) are equal to each other. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a ratchet mechanism is provided between the connecting member 6 and the connecting member 10, and the ratchet mechanism includes the ratchet member 13 and the ratchet member 13 as shown in FIG. It is composed of a spring 12. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the ratchet member 13 has a disc-shaped main body 13a, and four hemispherical convex portions 13b are equiangularly spaced on the upper surface of the main body 13a in FIG. That is, they are formed in an annular shape at 90 ° intervals. A columnar shaft 13c that can be inserted into the engagement hole 6a of the connecting member 6 is provided on the lower side of the main body 13a in FIG. 4, and the engaging surface of the connecting member 6 is provided on the side surface of the shaft 13c. A locking pin 13d that can be engaged with the stop groove 6b is provided in a protruding manner.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the pivot 1 has a head 1a, and the inner diameters of the connecting members 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 are provided on the lower side of the head 1a in FIG. A cylindrical first large diameter portion 1b having a slightly smaller straight diameter is provided.

It is possible to connect the two flat plates 2 and 3 so as to be rotatable around the pivot 1.

Since the hinge 5 according to the present invention has the above-described structure, as shown in FIG. 5, one flat plate 2 of the hinge 5 is fixed to the altar body 16 by three wood screws 14, and the hinge 5 is By fixing the other flat plate 3 to the Buddhist altar door 17 with three wood screws 15, the ratchet door 17 is rotatably attached to the Buddhist altar body 16 via the hinge 5, and the ratchet The member 13 is pressed upward in FIG. 5, that is, on the connecting member 10 side by the elasticity of the spring 12 that is contracted in the engaging hole 6a of the connecting member 6, and the convex portion 13b of the ratchet member 13 is connected to the connecting member 10. Since the concave portion 10b is brought into contact with the concave portion 10b with a predetermined force, the rotating operation of the altar door 17 with respect to the altar body 16 is performed while temporarily stopping at a predetermined angle θ, as shown in FIG. The predetermined angle θ is 45 ° in the present embodiment, but it can be set to a desired angle by increasing or decreasing the number of the concave portions 10b of the connecting member 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the ratchet member 13 is rotated with respect to the connecting member 6 (therefore, the flat plate 2 and the altar body 16) by the locking pin 13d which is engaged with the locking groove 6b of the connecting member 6. Since the movement is constrained, the above-described rotation operation for each predetermined angle θ can be performed without any trouble. Furthermore, when the Buddhist altar door 17 rotates with respect to the Buddhist altar body 16, only the ratchet member 13 mounted on the connecting member 6 via the spring 12 makes a slight vertical movement, and the flat plate 3 with respect to the flat plate 2. Since it does not move vertically, the altar door 17 does not move vertically with respect to the altar body 16 during rotation. Further, since the impact force when the Buddhist altar door 17 is rotated is absorbed by the expansion and contraction of the spring 12, the wear caused by the contact between the convex portion 13b of the ratchet member 13 and the concave portion 10b of the connecting member 10 is small and the durability is improved. Excellent in

By the way, when the Buddhist altar door 17 attached to the Buddhist altar body 16 via the hinge 5 is removed from the Buddhist altar body 16, as shown in FIG. 6, the ratchet member 13 is shaped to resist the elasticity of the spring 12. Then, the locking pin 13d of the ratchet member 13 is hooked to the deepest part of the locking groove 6b of the connecting member 6 by pushing downward with. Then, the convex portion 13b of the ratchet member 13, which has been in abutting engagement with the concave portion 10b of the connecting member 10 until then, separates downward. Further, the pivot 1 is lifted and rotated, and the engaging pin 1e that has been engaged with the engaging groove 9b of the connecting member 9 is placed on the upper end surface of the connecting member 9. Then, the first large-diameter portion 1b of the pivot 1 moves slightly above the upper end surface of the connecting member 11, the second large-diameter portion 1d of the pivot 1 is housed in the connecting member 7, and the connecting member 11 has the first large-diameter portion 1b. Only the small-diameter portion 1c exists, and no part of the pivot 1 exists in the connecting member 10.

In this state, the flat plate 3 fixed to the Buddhist altar door 17 is moved horizontally. At this time, the small-diameter portion 1c of the pivot 1 exists inside the connecting member 11, but since the slit 11b is formed in the connecting member 11 as shown in FIG. Passes through the slit 11b and is disengaged from the connecting member 11, so that the altar door 17 is disengaged from the altar body 16. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove a large number of wood screws 14 or 15 with a screwdriver or the like, and the work of removing the Buddhist altar door 17 can be performed easily and quickly.

Further, when the Buddhist altar door 17 thus removed is attached to the Buddhist altar body 16 again, the reverse procedure is performed. That is, while the ratchet member 13 is lowered downward and the pivot 1 is raised, the flat plate 3 fixed to the altar door 17 is horizontally moved to connect the connecting members 7 and 9 to each other. Mesh with 11. Next, the ratchet member 13 is rotated and moved by the elasticity of the spring 12 to the upper side in FIG. Then, the convex portion 13b of the ratchet member 13 abuts and engages with the concave portion 10b of the connecting member 10 with a predetermined force. Further, the pivot 1 is rotated and lowered until the head 1a of the pivot 1 reaches the upper end surface of the connecting member 9. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the first large diameter portion 1b of the pivot 1 engages with both the connecting member 9 and the connecting member 11, and the second large diameter portion 1d of the pivot 1 connects the connecting member 7 and the connecting member. Both 10 and 10 engage with each other. At this point, the work of attaching the Buddhist altar door 17 to the Buddhist altar body 16 is completed.

In the above embodiment, the eight concave portions 10b formed on the connecting member 10 are spherical, and the four convex portions 13b formed on the main body 13a of the ratchet member 13 are hemispherical. Although the hinge 5 having the shape has been described, various other shapes can be considered for the shapes of the concave portions 10b and the convex portions 13b. For example, an annular corrugated pattern in which peaks and valleys repeatedly appear along the circumference may be used as the concave portion 10b and the convex portion 13b. Alternatively, it is also possible to make the concave portion 10b a circular waveform having peaks and valleys repeatedly appearing along the circumference and make the convex portions 13b hemispherical. Further, the protrusion may be formed on the connecting member 10 and the recess may be formed on the main body 13a of the ratchet member 13.

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the hinge 5 in which the engaging groove 9b is formed in the front surface of the connecting member 9 and the engaging groove 6b is formed in the front surface of the connecting member 6. As described above, the engaging groove 9b may be formed on the side surface of the connecting member 9, and the locking groove 6b may be formed on the side surface of the connecting member 6.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the hinge 5 in which the main body 2c, 3c of the flat plate 2, 3 is provided with the three screw holes 2b, 3b respectively, is explained. The number of the stopping holes 2b and 3b is not limited to three. That is, a suitable number (usually 2 to 4) of screw holes 2b and 3b may be provided according to the size of the hinge 5. Needless to say, when the number of screw holes 2b and 3b is changed, the number of wood screws 14 and 15 to be used must be changed as well.
