Patent ID: 7685679

Claim:
A pivotal hinge with an oil-retaining collar having a shaft having a fastening rod having a distal end; and a proximal end; an extension rod being non-circular in cross section, being formed concentrically on the proximal end of the fastening rod and having a distal end; and a fastening thread being formed around the distal end of the extension rod; and a lip being formed radially between the fastening rod and the extension rod; a rotating bracket being mounted securely on the distal end of the fastening rod; a stationary bracket being mounted around the extension rod and having an outer surfaces; and a positioning hole; multiple washers being mounted around the extension rod and each having a non-circular central hole being mounted around the non-circular extension rod; and multiple oil holes; a stationary positioning spacer being mounted around the extension rod adjacent to one of the washers and having an inner surface; an outer surface; a positioning protrusion being formed on the inner surface of the stationary positioning spacer and being mounted into the positioning hole of the stationary bracket; two bosses being formed separately on the outer surface of the stationary positioning spacer; and multiple oil recesses being formed separately on the inner and outer surfaces of the stationary positioning spacer; a rotating positioning spacer being mounted around the extension rod adjacent to the stationary positioning spacer and having a non-circular central hole being mounted around the non-circular extension rod; an inner surface; two detents being formed separately on the inner surface of the rotating positioning spacer and corresponding to the bosses of the stationary positioning spacer; and multiple oil recesses being formed separately on the inner surface of the rotating positioning spacer; a biasing member being mounted around the extension rod adjacent to the rotating positioning spacer; a nut being screwed onto the fastening thread on the extension rod; and an oil-retaining collar being mounted around the washers and the positioning spacers and having two edges each having a long hook protruding from the edge of the oil-retaining collar, each said long hook being mounted between the stationary bracket and the stationary positioning spacer and around the washers.
