Abstract (en)
[origin: CN102312632A] Hinge with one pivoting and one fixed hinge leaf, with a physical hinge axle similar to a hollow cylinder which is common to both hinge leaves with an imaginary mathematical axis. The hinge axle is connected unmovably to the pivoting hinge leaf and mounted rotatably on a journal bearing, the body of which journal bearing is connected rigidly with the fixed hinge leaf. In the hinge axle a spiral torsion spring arranged, the first of whose two ends is connected unmovably to the hinge axle and the second of whose two ends is connected via a worm-gear unit consisting of a worm wheel and endless screw to the journal-bearing body of the journal bearing. The worm wheel is arranged in the journal bearing to rotate around the axis of the hinge axle and is fixed permanently to the second of the two ends of the spiral torsion spring. The adjustment of the worm wheel and consequently the adjustment of the tension of the spiral torsion spring takes place by turning the endless screw which is arranged in the fixed part of the journal-bearing body of the journal bearing and into which the teeth of the worm wheel engage.
