Abstract:
The hinge assembly is intended for use with wings which are hinged on a horizontal axis, such as lids, flaps or the like, particularly in freezers. The compression spring bears at one end on the stationary hinge member under initial stress and at its other end engages an end of a spring-restraining rod, which supports the compression spring and engages the second hinge member, which is attached to the wing. The spring-restraining rod carries at its upper end a slider, which consists of polyamide or a material having similar characteristics and which is guided by a cam that is directly mounted in that hinge member attached to the wing.
Abstract:
The hinge comprises a compression spring for balancing the weight of leaves which are hinged on a horizontal axis, such as covers, flaps or the like, particularly in refrigerating chests. One end of the compression spring bears under initial stress on the stationary hinge member. The other end of the spring bears by means of the end of a spring-guiding rod, which supports the spring, on the second hinge member, which is secured to the leaf. The lower end of the spring-guiding rod bears by means of a rocker on a knife edge bearing provided on the stationary hinge member. The guiding rod is provided with coarse pitch screw threads at its end opposite to the slider. The rocker carries a nut which has coarse pitch screw threads and is in threaded engagement with the lower end of the guiding rod.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hinge with spring for weight compensation, in which the spring is supported at one end in the stationary hinge part and engages at its other end on the second hinge part attached to the wing. For the purpose of simplifying known hinges of this type, the spring is designed as a bar spring and is supported in a rotatable bolt arranged in the hinge part fastened to the wing.
Abstract:
A hinge is provided for a leaf member pivotable about a substantially horizontal axis such as a lid, flap or door or a chest-type freezer, which hinge has a spring (3) for compensation for the weight of the leaf member, when fitted thereto, particularly over the upper part of the opening movement of the leaf member, which spring (3) is supported at or adjacent one end thereof in a stationary portion (2) of the hinge and engaged at or adjacent its other end in, on or with a second hinge portion (1, 12) which is fixedly attachable to the movable leaf member, wherein the spring (3) is in the form of a bar spring and is supported in or on a pin (4) rotatably mounted in the second hinge portion (1), or in or on two opposing spaced apart projecting portions (14, 14') in or on the second hinge portion (12).
Abstract:
The hinge comprises a compression spring, which is adapted to balance the weight of a hinged leaf, such as a flap, lid or door. The compression spring is prestressed and bears at one end on the stationary hinge member and at the other end acts by means of a spring guide on a second hinge member, which is attached to the hinged leaf. The spring guide is supported at one end by two limbs of the stationary hinge member and at the other end by a slidable pin, which is mounted in cam slots, which are respectively provided in the limbs of the stationary hinge member and in a control lever. The latter is pivoted at its other end to the movable hinge member. The cam slots have such a configuration that the excursion of the spring resulting from the pivotal movement of the control lever is minimized.
