Abstract
The present invention provides a pinch-preventing safety hinge for a hinged door, which connects a door to a doorjamb mounted in a wall so that the door is opened or closed while rotating about the doorjamb and which includes a hinge unit including a fixing member secured to the doorjamb and a rotary member secured to one side end of the door and hingedly coupled to the fixing member so as to rotate, and a shielding unit rotatably coupled to a rotary shaft of the fixing member or the rotary member, the shielding unit being fixed to the fixing member by hinge motion of the hinge unit.
Claims7
A pinch-preventing safety hinge for a hinged door, configured to connect a door to a doorjamb mounted in a wall so that the door is opened or closed while rotating about the doorjamb, the pinch-preventing safety hinge comprising:
- a hinge unit comprising a fixing member secured to the doorjamb and a rotary member secured to one side end of the door and hingedly coupled to the fixing member so as to rotate;
- and
- a shielding unit rotatably coupled to a rotary shaft of any one of the fixing member and the rotary member,
- wherein the rotary member comprises:
- an extension panel hingedly coupled to the fixing member;
- a coupling panel extending integrally from the extension panel and secured to the one side end of the door;
- and
- a sliding panel protruding integrally from the coupling panel, the sliding panel performing sliding motion to cover the shielding unit during an opening/closing operation of the door,
- wherein the shielding unit comprises:
- a link member disposed between the fixing member and the rotary member and coupled at one end thereof to the rotary shaft;
- a first shielding plate extending integrally from an opposite end of the link member in a predetermined direction, the first shielding plate being selectively coupled to the fixing member;
- and
- a second shielding plate extending integrally from the opposite end of the link member in a direction opposite the first shielding plate, the second shielding plate being selectively brought into contact with the rotary member,
- wherein any one of the fixing member and the first shielding plate has a first coupling protrusion and a remaining one of the fixing member and the first shielding plate has a first coupling recess formed to allow the shielding unit to be detachably coupled to the fixing member,
- wherein the rotary member further comprises a pressing member, wherein when the door is closed, the pressing member presses and rotates the second shielding plate toward the fixing member such that the shielding unit is detachably coupled to the fixing member.
