  • the hinge elements can be formed from a wide variety of metals, plastics and other materials, and can be fabricated by machining the elements from bar stock of appropriate cross-section, or by rolling, drawing, molding, die-casting or, preferably, by extruding these materials. In the latter case any extrudable material of the requisite strength maybe employed, such, for example, as brass, aluminum, thermoplastic polymers, and the like.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 show an advantageous embodiment of my invention for use as such a standard hinge.
  • each of the geared hinge members 11 and 12 of the aforementioned standard hinge comprises a gear segment 15 and 18 of substantially circular cross-section having an approximately pie-shaped sector 24 and 25 removed th refrom, each gear segment having an outwardly extending leg portion 16 and 19 formed integrally therewith.
  • the pie-shaped sec-tor removed from each gear segment is somewhat more than say, about in extent, and the apex of the sector coincides approximately with the axis of rotation of that gear segment.
  • the portions of the gear segments 15 and 18 nearest the respective pie-shaped sectors 24 and 25 are hereinafter referred to as the rearward portions of said gear segments, and the portions of said gear segments nearest the respective leg portions 16 and 19 are hereinafter referred to as the front or forward portions of said gear segments.

  • the three elements of the hinge structure are assembled together to form a complete hinge by first placing the two geared hinge members 11 and 12 together as shown in FIG. 2 so that the gear teeth intermesh and so that the rearward surfaces of the pie-shaped cut-out portions 24 and 25 of the two gear segments 15 and 18 are substantially parallel to each other. When the gear segments are so positioned, the outwardly extending leg portions 16 and 19 of the two geared hinge members are at an obtuse angle of about 220. The C-shaped clamp member 13 is then pressed down onto the rearward side of the gear segments as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2.
  • the inwardly turned ends 26 thereof are first separated or spread apart slightly to allow these ends to be slipped or pressed downwardly onto the rearward side of the gear segments, or the geared hinge members are rotated slightly beyond the position shown in FIG. 2 so that the divergence of the rearward surfaces of the cut-out sectors 24 and 25 acts to spread the ends of the clamp 13 as it is pressed into its proper final position.
  • the inwardly turned ends of the C-shaped clamp member bear against the gear segments of the geared hinge members at the axis of rotation of each gear segment.
  • the geared hinge members 11 and 12 are then rotated so that the leg portions 15 and 19 thereof are at an angle of 180 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the position of the hinge shown in FIG. 3 is referred to herein as its closed position, as this is the position the hinge would assume when the door or other object to which it is attached is in its closed position.
  • the hinge is moved or rotated to its open position shown in FIG. 4 simply by moving the leg portions 16 and 19, or the door panels to which these leg portions are attached, through an angle of 180.
  • the hinge has an automatic self-closing action.
  • the gear teeth of one or both of the gear segments'15a and 18a are formed on the surface of a segment of a spiral the radius of which increases from the rear to the front of the respective gear segment so that, when the geared hinge members 11 and 12 are rotated from their normally closed position shown in FIG. 5 to their open position corresponding to that shown in FIG. 4, the axes of rotation of the two gear segments (e.g. the centers of the spirals) are moved apart.
  • the C-shaped clamp member 13 is formed'from a spring material that exerts a positive inwardly directed spring pressure against the gear segments at their respective axes of rotation.
  • the hinge has an automatic self-opening action.
  • the gear teeth of one or both of the gear segments 15b and 181) are formed on the surface of a segment of a spiral the radius of which increases from the front to the rear of the respective gear segment so that, when the geared hinge members 11 and 12 are rotated from their normally open position shown in FIG. 6 to their closed position corresponding to that shown in FIG. 3, the axes of rotation of the two gear segments (e.g. the centers of the spirals) are moved apart.
  • the C-shaped clamp member 13 is formed from a spring material that exerts a positive inwardly directed spring pressure against the gear segments at their respective axes of rotation.
  • the hinge has a decided tendency to assume and remain at one of two fixed positions.
  • the generally circular cross-sections of one or both of the gear segments 15c-and 180 are slightly flattened or out of round at two points-name-ly, at the (front portion 28 of each gear segment and at the portion 29 midway between the front and the rear of the gear segment.
