Split barrel structure of hinge
First Claim
1. A split barrel structure;
- which is adapted to couple a shaft of a pintle to form a hinge, the split barrel structure comprising;
a first leaf portion, being a flat sheet member extended in a first leaf horizontal datum plane, and having a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge; and
the first edge being divided into at least a barrel-forming section and an adjoining complement-forming section;
at least one first partial barrel having a root end and a free end, the root end being connected to the at least one barrel-forming section of the first leaf portion, and the free end being extended from the root end in a first circular direction toward the barrel-forming section of the first leaf portion;
a second leaf portion being a flat sheet member extended in a second leaf horizontal datum plane, and having a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge; and
the first edge being divided into at least a barrel-forming section and an adjoining complement-forming section;
the barrel-forming section on the second leaf portion being located corresponding to the complement-forming section on the first leaf portion, and the complement-forming section on the second leaf portion being located corresponding to the barrel-forming section on the first leaf portion;
at least one second partial barrel having a root end and a free end, the root end being connected to the at least one barrel-forming section of the second leaf portion, and the free end being extended from the root end in a second circular direction opposite to the first circular direction toward the barrel-forming section of the second leaf portion; and
at least one binding element, with which the first and the second leaf portions that have been aligned with one another face to face are bound together;
whereby when the first and the second leaf portions have been bound together by the at least one binding element, the first partial barrel and the second partial barrel clamp the shaft of the pintle therebetween.

Abstract
A split barrel structure of a hinge includes a first partial barrel and an adjoining first complementary curved part extended from a first leaf portion in a first circular direction, and a second partial barrel and an adjoining second complementary curved part extended from a second leaf portion in a second circular direction. When the first leaf portion is aligned with the second leaf portion face to face, the first partial barrel and the first complementary curved part mate with the second complementary curved part and the second partial barrel, respectively, to form a split barrel for clamping a shaft of a pintle of the hinge therein. The aligned first and second leaf portions are then bound together using binding elements. Alternatively, the first and the second leaf portion are integrally connected at an edge via a bending section.
