Abstract

The invention concerns a hinge comprising two hinge parts (1,2) connected by a hinge pin (3), whereby the hinge pin (3) is provided with a stop (5) on one far end with which it will be situated against a hinge part (1). The other far end of the hinge pin (3) is fixed in relation to the other hinge part (2) by means of a somewhat springy bush (6) which catches in a groove (11) in said hinge pin (3) with at least one inwardly directed protrusion (9) on the one hand, and which is situated against an edge (2A) of the aforesaid other hinge part (2) with at least one outwardly directed protrusion (8, 8A; 9) on the other hand.

Claims

1. A hinge comprising two hinge parts respectively a first and a second hinge part connected by a hinge pin, whereby the hinge pin is provided with a stop on one far end with which it will be situated against a first hinge part, and is fixed in relation to the other second hinge part at the other far end, wherein the hinge pin is fixed in relation to said other second hinge part by means of a somewhat springy bush which catches in a groove in said hinge pin with at least one inwardly directed protrusion on the one hand, and is situated against an edge of the aforesaid other second hinge part with at least one outwardly directed protrusion on the other hand.

2. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the hinge pin has a far end with a smaller diameter there where it is surrounded by the bush, and the groove is provided in this far end.

3. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the bush is provided with an interruption over its entire height, and thus forms an interrupted ring made of a somewhat springy material, for example plastic.

4. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the protrusions form collars on the far ends of the bush.

5. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the bush is provided with grooves on at least one far end and thus has springy strips, while it has teeth as protrusions on the aforesaid far end, provided on these strips.

6. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the protrusion is beveled on at least one of the far ends of the bush, such that this protrusion decreases in height towards said far end, so that the bush can be easily put in an opening in one of the hinge parts with this far end, or can be easily provided over the far end of the hinge pin.

7. The hinge according to claim 6, wherein a protrusion beveled on the outside is situated against the edge of the second hinge part, and in that a non-beveled protrusion sticks in the groove in the hinge pin.

8. The hinge according to claim 6, wherein a non-beveled protrusion is situated against the edge of the second hinge part, and in that a protrusion beveled on the inside sticks in the groove in the hinge pin.
