DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cover for a hinge, for example, a cover for covering a hinge used in a door of furniture.

Conventionally, this type of hinge has been constructed using a plurality of movable arms, one fixed member attached to a fixed plate part such as a side plate of the furniture body, and the other fixed member attached to a movable plate part such as a door plate of the furniture body. A structure is known in which the opening/closing angle is 90 degrees or more.

That is, for example, as shown in FIG.
, 3, one ends of the first and second movable arms 4, 5 are rotatably attached to the shafts, and support shafts 6, 7 are attached to the other ends of the first and second movable arms 4, 5. 3rd and 4th through
One end of the movable arms 8, 9 is rotatably attached to the shaft, and a fixed disk 11 having a mounting piece 10 as the other fixing member is attached to the other end of the third and fourth movable arms 8, 9. It has a structure in which the first and fourth movable arms 4 and 9 are rotatably connected to each other by a support shaft 12 and 13, and the intersecting portions of the first and fourth movable arms 4 and 9 are rotatably connected by an intermediate shaft 14.

One of the fixed frames 1 is fixed to the side plate of the furniture main body, and the other fixed disk 11 is fixed to the door plate of the furniture main body.

In this way, the door plate is connected to the side plate of the furniture body so that it can be opened and closed. In this case, when opening and closing the door plate, each movable arm 4, 5° 8.9 rotates in the direction of opening and closing the door plate. This is done while expanding and contracting, so each movable arm 4, 5
．． 8.9 Clothes or the like may be caught in the door, which may cause damage to the clothes or the like, and if the clothes or the like are caught in the door, it becomes difficult to open and close the door plate.

Therefore, the present applicant first fitted the hinge body with a cover integrally constructed in a form that does not hinder the movement of the hinge body, and while the hinge body was reliably covered with this cover integral,
We have proposed a cover for a hinge that prevents clothing from being pinched and damaged when the hinge itself operates.

The present invention further improves the hinge cover and makes it capable of sufficiently responding to the rotational movement of the hinge body.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 25 designates an integrated cover made of synthetic resin or the like.
It is constituted by a second housing body 37 that houses the fixed disk 11 side as the other stationary member.

The first storage body 26 includes a top plate 27 consisting of a central horizontal portion 27a, a front arcuate portion 27b, and a rear inclined portion 27c, and left and right side plates 28 disposed on both left and right sides of the top plate 27. The top plate 27 at the rear end of this left and right side plate 28
An accommodating recess 30 with an open lower surface is formed by an end face plate 29 whose rear end is closed.

Further, a locking protrusion 31 is integrally formed on the opening edge of the front end circular arc portion 27b of the top plate 27 of the first housing body 26, and a large diameter head is formed on the lower front end of the left and right side plates 28. 32a
A reinforcing piece 33 is integrally formed between the upper part of the left and right side plates 28 and the lower surface of the front end arc-shaped part 27b.

Further, a locking body 35 that fits into a rectangular attachment hole 34 formed on the upper surface of the fourth movable arm 9 is provided on the back surface of the central horizontal portion 27a of the upper surface plate 27 of the first housing 26. is installed protrudingly.

This locking body 35 is formed in a rectangular shape with a size to be fitted into the mounting hole 34, penetrates from the lower end to the central horizontal portion 27a in the center, and has a small lower end.
A screw hole 35a is formed as a substantially conical insertion hole with a large a, and a cross-shaped cut groove 35 is formed in the vertical direction.
b is formed, and a plurality of dividing protrusions 35c are formed by this cut groove 35b.

Then, when a screw 36 as a press-fitting member is screwed into the locking body 35 from the central horizontal portion 27a, each divided protrusion 35c of the locking body 35 is elastically expanded outward by the screw 36. It has become.

The second housing body 37 includes the arcuate portion 2 of the top plate 27.
It is formed by an arcuate upper plate 38 along the upper surface of the arc-shaped upper plate 38, and triangular left and right side plates 39 along the outer surfaces of the left and right side plates 28 disposed on both sides of the arcuate upper plate 38.

Further, an engagement protrusion 40 that engages with the locking protrusion 31 of the first accommodation body 26 is integrally formed on the rear surface of the rear end portion of the arcuate upper plate 3B of the second accommodation body 37, Further, a connecting piece 41 is integrally connected to the front end.

This connecting piece 41 is formed into a flexible thin band-like shape with a predetermined length, and a mounting hole 44 that communicates with a screw hole 43 drilled in the third movable arm 8 is formed in a thick tip portion 42. .

Further, a locking projection 32 formed on the left and right side plates 28 of the first container 26 is rotatably inserted into the lower end of the triangular left and right side plates 39 of the second container 37. A stop 45 is formed.

A mounting groove 46 is formed in communication with the locking hole 45 to increase the size of the locking hole 45 .

Then, the left and right side plates 39 of the second container 37 are engaged with the outer sides of the left and right side plates 28 of the first container 26, and the locking holes 45 on both sides are inserted into the locking protrusions 32 on both sides. When the locking hole 45 is press-fitted, the locking hole 45 widens due to the cut groove 46 and is easily inserted and locked into the locking protrusion 32. Therefore, the second housing body 26 is inserted into the first housing body 26 through the locking protrusion 32 on both sides. The housing body 37 is rotatably linked, and the engaging protrusion 40 is locked to the locking protrusion 31, thereby preventing its rotation.

Next, when attaching the cover unit 25 to the hinge body A, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, one fixing frame 1 of the hinge body A is engaged with the side plate 47 of the furniture body, and this is At the same time, the other fixing disk 11 is fitted into the mounting recess 50 of the door plate 49 of the furniture body, and the mounting piece 10 is fixed with the screw 51.

Next, when the cover unit 25 is fitted onto the hinge main body A and the first housing body 26 is pressed against the hinge main body A,
A locking body 35 protruding from the back surface of the top plate 27 of the first container 26 is fitted into the mounting hole 34 of the fourth movable arm 9 .

Then, when the screw 36 is inserted from the top plate 27 side, the screw hole 35a is gradually enlarged by the screw 36, and the divided protrusions 35c forming the screw hole 35a are forcibly pushed outward by their elasticity. expanded,
Each of the divided protrusions 35c is crimped and locked to the opening edge of the mounting hole 34, so that the first housing body 26 is securely locked to one side of the hinge body A via the locking body 35, and One fixed portion side of the hinge main body A, that is, the fixed frame 1 and the second and fourth movable arms 5 and 9 are accommodated in the accommodation recess 30 of the accommodation body 26 .

Further, the thick tip portion 42 formed at the tip of the connecting piece 41 of the second housing 37 is engaged with the third movable arm 8, and the attachment hole 44 thereof is placed in communication with the screw hole 43, The screw 52 is screwed into the screw hole 43 from the attachment hole 44 to be engaged.

As a result, the connecting piece 41 of the second container 37 is securely locked to the other side of the hinge body A, and the second container 37

Further, the second housing body 37 of the integrated cover 25 is configured so that the third movable arm 8 and the first movable arm 4 rotate and extend as the fixed disk 11 rotates, and the third movable arm 8 The connecting piece 41 whose tip end is locked is also gradually pulled out, and is smoothly pulled out by the connecting piece 41, so that the first and third movable arms 4, 8 are exposed from the second housing 37. It always operates in a covered state.

Then, when the engagement protrusion 40 of the second container 37 is engaged with the locking protrusion 31 of the first container 26, it is in the widest open state.

Also, when closing an open door, each movable arm 4 can be extended.
．． 5. 8. 9 etc. are rotated in the opposite direction to the above and gradually contract, and the first and second containers 2 of the cover integral 25 are closed.
6.37, and the connecting piece 41 is also located inside the arcuate portion 27b.

Therefore, the hinge main body A rotates and expands and contracts with the cover unit 25, and each movable arm 4.5; 8 controls the movement.
．． Since the movable arms 9 always operate while being covered within the cover unit 25, there is no possibility that clothing or the like will be pinched during the operation of each movable arm 4, 5, 8, 9.

1. Furniture to which the hinge body is attached includes furniture installed indoors, such as wardrobes, wash basins, kitchen equipment, and audio racks. At the same time, the other fixing member is attached to the door plate of the main body.

The integrated cover includes a first housing body located on the furniture body side and housing a plurality of movable arms, and a rotatable second housing body located on the door plate side housing a plurality of extended movable arms. A connecting piece is integrally formed on the front end of the second housing body, and a locking body whose outer diameter is expanded by a screw is provided on the back surface of the first housing body. Since the protruding part is provided, the connecting piece of the first housing body integrated with the cover can be locked to a part of the movable arm on the door plate side, and the locking body of the second housing body can be locked to a part of the movable arm on the furniture body side. By fitting into the mounting hole of the arm and enlarging this locking body with a screw, the cover can be easily and securely set on the hinge body, and the hinge body can be reliably covered by the cover. The first and second containers are interlocked in relation to the rotational movement of the hinge main body, and when the door is closed, the second container is overlapped with the first container and the door is closed. When opened, the second container is reliably rotated in conjunction with the connecting piece that is pulled out as the movable arm rotates, and can reliably cover the movable arm that is pulled out and extended in front of the first container. The hinge body can be reliably covered at all times, and the multiple movable arms are not exposed, which improves the appearance of the hinge body and prevents the movable arms from pinching clothing and damaging clothing during operation. In addition, since the connecting piece is flexible and formed into a band shape, it will not bend or deform easily to accommodate the opening/closing operation of the door plate, and will not interfere with the opening/closing operation of the door plate. In addition, since the locking body is enlarged by the screw, it can be securely crimped and locked in the mounting hole, and its structure is simple, so the operating function of the hinge body is not impaired. A safe integrated cover can be provided at low cost.
