Title: Vehicle door hinge
IPC: E05D3/18
Filed: 1969-06-27
Abstract: 1,205,189. Car door hinge. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. 27 June, 1969 [10 July, 1968], No. 32576/69. Heading E2F. In a car door hinge, Fig. 2, link 20 is pivoted by shaft 22 to door frame 12, and by shaft 24 to door 16. When the door latch is operated pin 64 is lowered beneath link 20 by a rod and cranked lever (not shown). When the door is opened, the door and link rotate together about shaft 22, Fig. 5, while simultaneously tension spring 58, connected between the frame and the door causes the door to rotate about shaft 24, the direction of the two rotations being shown by arrows 82 and 84 respectively. Spring 58 also causes cam follower 52, rotatably mounted on the door, to run along cam surface 30 of stationary cam 48, thus governing the orientation of the door. At the same time check roller 30, rotatably mounted on the link, runs along cam surface 36 of pivoted check member 32, pivoting the member about pin 34 against the force of spring 32, connected between the frame and the member until the roller is received and held in recess 30 in the member, which thus secures the door. With further opening of the door, the link continues to pivot about shaft 22 until stopped by the bodywork 13 whereon check roller 30 will be received in recess 40 in check member 32, again securing the door and the cam follower 52 will be removed from surface 50 of cam 48 and the door will rotate about shaft 24 so that door jamb face 86, contacts one side of the link. Subsequent opening of the door causes the door to rotate, Fig. 7, about shaft 24 in the direction of arrow 88, against the force of spring 58. Pin 62 then rises from under the link to bear against an edge of the link, preventing a return pivoting of the door about shaft 24. When the door is closed, the door and the link together rotate, in the direction of arrow 90, to return to the closed position shown in Fig. 2.

Filed: 1961-09-13
Abstract: 928,428. Selective perforating apparatus. CUMMINS - CHICAGO CORPORATION. Sept. 13, 1961 [Sept. 15, 1960], No. 32888/61. Class 31(2). A perforating apparatus for documents comprises a plurality of ring-like matrices 21, Fig. 9, rotatably mounted side-by-side on a shaft 38 extending transversely through a perforating head 18, each matrix having a plurality of peripheral die faces 25a to 25k, each having a different combination of punch-receiving openings formed therein corresponding to a different character, each matrix being rotatable about the shaft 38 by means of a manually-operable selector arm 96 which has mounted thereon a pinion 98 engaging a fixed rack 94 and a rack 92 on a segment 41 of the matrix. Each arm 96 has secured thereto a scale 102 provided with indicia to represent different characters, the scale being visible through a window in a cover 101. The head 18 carries arrays of punches 19. The document to be perforated is positioned on a die block 64 by means of adjustable guides 29 to 32, Fig. 8 (not shown). The shaft 38 is fixed to a pair of pivotally-mounted arms 39. An operating lever 37, Fig. 4, is keyed to a shaft 70 on which are pivotally mounted cams 72, Fig. 5, operatively connected to vertically-movable slides 71, the downward movement of which is transferred to a force bar 89 having spring-biased detents 109 engageable with notches 105 in detent plates 104 fixed to the hubs 42 of the matrices to ensure that the selected die faces are properly oriented with respect to their associated punch arrays. When the lever 37 is pulled forwardly to rotate the shaft 70, the cams 72 pivot counterclockwise causing cams 120 to pivot counterclockwise and disengage from cam rollers 126 on the force bar 89. If the matrices are properly aligned, as determined by the engagement of a rib 131 on the force bar with one of the notches 128a to 128k in each matrix, the force bar drops downwardly, thus pivoting an interference lever 112, Fig. 7, counterclockwise to disengage its right-hand end from a notch 118 in a cam-plate 119 on the shaft 70 permitting the shaft to be rotated through a full stroke, as determined by a pawl 132, Fig. 9, and associated detent plate 135. Continued rotation of the lever 37 and shaft 70 through a full stroke drives the slides 71 downwardly to cause the shaft 38, force bar 89 and matrices to be simultaneously moved downwardly to force selected punches 19, as well as sprocket hole punches 140, through the document. If, however, one of the matrices is not properly aligned, the rib 131 engages the internal surface 129 of that matrix to block downward movement of the force bar and thus prevent it from disengaging the end of the lever 112 from the notch in the cam-plate. After the punching operation has been completed, the lever 37 is returned to its initial position, and the selector arms 96 and associated matrices are re-set to their initial positions by operating a lever 144. Punchings are collected in a removable tray 148.
