Abstract

A cup embedded type hinge device with position adjustment function comprising a position adjustment mechanism between a cup member and an arm member of a hinge body including a U-shaped position adjustment holder superposed on a recess of the cup member through a gap and a cam member provided between the position adjustment holder and the flange of the cup member to set the position of the cup member relative to the position adjustment holder and having a cam disk engaged into a circular hole in the position adjustment holder and an eccentric pin engaged into an elongated hole in the flange of the cup member whereby the position of the cup member is set by rotation of the cam disk.

Claims

1. A cup imbedded type hinge device with position adjustment function comprising a cup member attached to one of two objects to be connected to each other in an openable/closable manner, an arm member pivotally supported on said cup member by a pivotal support pin;

a hinge body pivotally connected to said arm member and attached to the other object; and

a position adjustment mechanism for adjusting a position of said cup member relative to said hinge body, said position adjustment mechanism including a U-shaped position adjustment holder superposed on a recess of said cup member so as to be able to adjust a position of U-shaped position adjustment holder within said recess through a gap and cup position setting means to set said U-shaped position adjustment holder and said cup member relatively in a predetermined position and said pivotal pin extending through said U-shaped position adjustment holder whereby said cup member is held in said U-shaped position adjustment holder by setting said cup member relative to said position adjustment holder, said hinge device is characterized in that said position adjustment mechanism has a flange provided on said cup member and to secure said cup member to said one object and an mount piece provided on said U-shaped position adjustment holder and corresponding to said flange of said cup member and said cup position setting means is disposed between said flange of said cup member and said mount piece of said position adjustment holder.

2. A cup embedded type hinge device with position adjustment function as set forth in claim 1, and wherein said position adjustment mechanism has a single U-shaped position adjustment holder whereby the position of said cup member is adjusted in one position adjustment direction relative to said hinge body.

3. A cup embedded type hinge device with position adjustment function as set forth in claim 1, and wherein said position adjustment mechanism has two U-shaped position adjustment holders and two cup position setting means provided corresponding to said U-shaped position adjustment holder, respectively whereby the position of said cup member is adjusted relative to said hinge body in two position adjustment directions intersecting perpendicularly.

4. A cup embedded type hinge device with position adjustment function as set forth in claim 1 and wherein said cup position setting means is provided with a cam member which can set said cup member relative to said hinge body in a proper position whereby said cup member can be held in said position adjustment holder.

5. A cup embedded type hinge device with position adjustment function as set forth in claim 4, and wherein a cam disk of said cam member is rotatably engaged in a circular hole formed in said mount piece of said U-shaped position adjustment holder and an eccentric pin of said cam member is engaged in an elongated hole in said flange of said cup member.

6. A cup embedded type hinge device with position adjustment function as set forth in claim 1, and wherein said cup position setting means comprises a threaded hole formed in said flange of said cup member, an elongated hole formed in said mount piece of said position adjustment holder and a setscrew threadedly engaged into said threaded hole in said flange of said cup member through said elongated hole in said mount piece.
