Abstract

Provided is a hinge device easy to machine and manufacture. A shaft guiding recessed section and a fitting recessed section are formed on a first face of substrate of a hinge device base. As a first position adjusting mechanism, a substrate side guiding section is provided on a bottom face of the shaft guiding recessed section, and a first adjusting shaft is provided between the substrate and a first movable member. A first shaft-side guiding section of the first adjusting shaft engages with the substrate side guiding section by being accommodated in the shaft guiding recessed section, and a first shaft part of the first adjusting shaft rotatably engages with the first movable member. A fitting section is provided in the first movable member, and the fitting section is inserted into the fitting recessed section so as to be able to slide in a first direction.

Claims

1. A hinge device base comprising a substrate having a substantially planar first face comprising a side facing away from a mounting surface, a first movable member provided on the first face capable of moving in a first direction along the first face with respect to the substrate, and a first position adjusting mechanism for adjusting a position of the first movable member in the first direction with respect to the substrate, with the first movable member removably connected either indirectly or directly to a body part that is rotatably connected to an attachment member;

a shaft guiding recessed section and a fitting recessed section that extends from the shaft guiding recessed section, with both formed on the first face of the substrate;

the shaft guiding recessed section and the fitting recessed section each having a front side edge and a back side edge spaced apart in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction along the first face;

a substrate side guiding section is provided on the shaft guiding recessed section, and a first adjusting shaft is provided between the substrate and the first movable member, with the first adjusting shaft including a first shaft part that rotatably engages to the first movable member around a first rotation axis line orthogonal to the first face and is inserted into the shaft guiding recessed section so as to be guided in the first direction, and a first shaft-side guiding section which engages with the substrate side guiding section; and

a fitting section located in the first movable member, and the fitting section is inserted into the fitting recessed section so as to be able to slide in the first direction.

2. The hinge device base according to claim 1, wherein the shaft guiding recessed section and the fitting recessed section are joined such that the mutual bottom faces thereof become flush.

3. The hinge device base according to claim 2, wherein the fitting recessed section is provided as a pair at both sides of the shaft guiding recessed section in the first direction, the fitting section is provided as a pair at both sides of the first movable member in the first direction, and each fitting section is inserted into the corresponding fitting recessed section so as to be capable of sliding in the first direction.

4. The hinge device base according to claim 3, wherein the first movable member runs along the first face and extends in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a locking protrusion is formed at one end of the first movable member in the second direction, and the locking protrusion catches on an edge of the substrate in the second direction so as to be capable of sliding in the first direction;

and

a connection projection is further provided at the substrate, and the other end of the first movable member in the second direction is connected by a connection pin, extending in the first direction, to the connection projection so as to be capable of moving in the first direction.

5. The hinge device base according to claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a second movable member running along the first face with respect to the first movable member and capable of moving in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a second position adjusting mechanism for adjusting a position of the second movable member in the second direction with respect to the first movable member, and the second movable member has a connection part removably connected to the body part, sandwiching the first movable member, and is provided at a side opposite the substrate;

and

a first movable side guiding section is provided at the first movable member, and a second adjusting shaft is provided between the first movable member and the second movable member, and the second adjusting shaft includes a second shaft part rotatably engaged to the second movable member around a second rotation axis line parallel to the first rotation axis line, and a second shaft-side guiding section that engages with the first movable side guiding section.

6. The hinge device base according to claim 1, wherein the fitting recessed section is provided as a pair at both sides of the shaft guiding recessed section in the first direction, the fitting section is provided as a pair at both sides of the first movable member in the first direction, and each fitting section is inserted into the corresponding fitting recessed section so as to be capable of sliding in the first direction.

7. The hinge device base according to claim 2, wherein the first movable member runs along the first face and extends in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a locking protrusion is formed at one end of the first movable member in the second direction, and the locking protrusion catches on an edge of the substrate in the second direction so as to be capable of sliding in the first direction;

and

a connection projection is further provided at the substrate, and the other end of the first movable member in the second direction is connected by a connection pin, extending in the first direction, to the connection projection so as to be capable of moving in the first direction.

8. The hinge device base according to claim 6, wherein the first movable member runs along the first face and extends in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a locking protrusion is formed at one end of the first movable member in the second direction, and the locking protrusion catches on an edge of the substrate in the second direction so as to be capable of sliding in the first direction;

and

a connection projection is further provided at the substrate, and the other end of the first movable member in the second direction is connected by a connection pin, extending in the first direction, to the connection projection so as to be capable of moving in the first direction.

9. The hinge device base according to claim 1, wherein the first movable member runs along the first face and extends in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a locking protrusion is formed at one end of the first movable member in the second direction, and the locking protrusion catches on an edge of the substrate in the second direction so as to be capable of sliding in the first direction;

and

a connection projection is further provided at the substrate, and the other end of the first movable member in the second direction is connected by a connection pin, extending in the first direction, to the connection projection so as to be capable of moving in the first direction.
