Abstract

Scharnier (1) mit einem schwenkbaren (2) und einem feststehenden (3) Scharnierblatt,
mit einer beiden Scharnierblättern (2,3) gemeinsamen Hohlzylinder-ähnlichen körperlichen Scharnierachse (7) mit der mathematischen Achse (4).
Die Scharnierachse (7) ist fest mit dem schwenkbaren (2) Scharnierblatt verbunden und drehbar in einem Achslager (5-1, 5-2) gelagert, dessen Achslagerkörper starr mit dem feststehenden (3) Scharnierblatt verbunden ist. In der Scharnierachse (7) ist eine Torsions-Spiral-Feder (8) angeordnet, deren erstes (8-1) ihrer beiden Enden fest mit der Scharnierachse (7) und deren zweites (8-2) ihrer beiden Enden über ein aus Schneckenrad (9) und Schnecke (6) bestehendes Schneckengetriebe mit dem Achslagerkörper des Achslagers (5-1) verbunden ist.
Das Schneckenrad (9) ist im Achslager (5-1) um die Achse (4) der Scharnierachse (7) drehbar angeordnet und fest mit dem zweiten (8-2) der beiden Enden der Torsions-Spiralfeder (8) verbunden. Die Dreh-Verstellung des Schneckenrades (9) und damit die Einstellung der Spannung der Torsions-Spiral-Feder (8) erfolgt durch Verdrehung der Schnecke (6), welche im feststehenden Teil des Achslagerkörpers des Achslagers (5-1) angeordnet ist und in die Zähne (9-10) des Schneckenrades (9) eingreift.

Hinge (1) with a hinged (2) and a stationary (3) hinge leaf,
with a two hinge leaves (2,3) common hollow cylinder-like physical hinge axis (7) with the mathematical axis (4).
The hinge axis (7) is fixedly connected to the pivotable (2) hinge leaf and rotatably mounted in an axle bearing (5-1, 5-2), the axle bearing body is rigidly connected to the fixed (3) hinge leaf. In the hinge axis (7) a torsion coil spring (8) is arranged, the first (8-1) of its two ends fixed to the hinge axis (7) and the second (8-2) of its two ends via a worm wheel (9) and worm (6) existing worm gear is connected to the axle bearing body of the journal bearing (5-1).
The worm wheel (9) is rotatably mounted in the journal bearing (5-1) about the axis (4) of the hinge shaft (7) and fixedly connected to the second (8-2) of the two ends of the torsion coil spring (8). The rotation adjustment of the worm wheel (9) and thus the adjustment of the tension of the torsion coil spring (8) by rotation of the screw (6), which is arranged in the fixed part of the Achslagerkörpers the axle bearing (5-1) and in the teeth (9-10) of the worm wheel (9) engages.
