Improvements in hinge assemblies

PURPOSE: An improved hinge assembly is provided to prevent freight from being stolen by inhibiting a door of a freight container from being opened in irregular method. CONSTITUTION: A hinge leaf(1) is made by metal forging material or layered counter of casting. The leaf has a horizontal hole at an end to accept a pivot pin(3). Thereby, the leaf is connected with an upper and a lower butt(2a,2b) coupled with a corner rail(6) of a container doorframe sequentially. A flat portion(17) of the leaf is welded to a freight door with a limit up to the horizontal hole from the opposed end. A couple of lug-shaped upper and a lower stopper(4,5) are provided to the hinge leaf between the horizontal hole and the inner end of the flat portion. As each lug is operated integrally with one of an upper and a lower support butt, the end of the hinge leaf is not moved relatively from the doorframe. Therefore, the door is not opened/rotated centering on another point separated from a door retainer handle and a hinge butt even though the hinge pin is removed.

MOTOR VEHICLE DOOR HINGE, ESPECIALLY REAR DOOR

PROVISIONAL DOOR STOP DEVICE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE DOOR.

Automatic shutters locking device in the open position

Spring loaded furniture door hinge - door opened past dead-point of maximum compression to give slight opposite spring action

As the door is opened the spring is compressed by a bolt which is pushed into the spring-slot. The dead centre point of maximum spring compression is passed as the hinge link bearing moves to the opposite side of the bolt-face, allowing the spring to expand only slightly and locking the bolt in position until the door is closed. The spring-bolt assembly cooperates with a stop which is built into the catch of the door itself.

Self-locking hinge for e.g. luggage covering shelf, of motor vehicle, has pin with cylindrical parts separated by parts with squared section that is blocked in respective squared section housing and cylindrical housing of isolated part
