Provided are a hinge capable of attaching a door side member having a recessed portion to receive an articulation joint in an end surface of a thin door such as a glass door and a hinge bracket. The hinge (1) of the present invention includes a main body side member (5) to be attached to a main body (3); and a door side member (4) to be attached to a door (2), rotatably connected to the main body side member (5) via an articulation joint (6) and having a recessed portion (7b) to receive at least a part of the articulation joint (6). The door side member (4) includes an outer shell portion (26), a first holding piece (27) projecting from the outer shell portion (26), and a second holding piece (28) for sandwiching the door (2) with the first holding piece (27) in a thickness direction of the door (2) within a range of the outer shell portion (26) in the thickness direction of the door (2).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A hinge comprising:
a main body side member to be attached to a main body; and a door side member to be attached to a door, rotatably connected to the main body side member via an articulation joint and having a recessed portion to receive at least a part of the articulation joint; wherein the door side member includes an outer shell portion, a first holding piece projecting from the outer shell portion, and a second holding piece for sandwiching the door with the first holding piece in a thickness direction of the door within a range of the outer shell portion in the thickness direction of the door.

2 . The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the articulation joint includes at least,
a first link having one end portion rotatably connected to the main body side member and the other end portion rotatably connected to the door side member or the other end portion connected to the door side member via a first auxiliary link, and a second link having one end portion rotatably connected to the door side member and the other end portion rotatably connected to the main body side member or the other end portion connected to the main body side member via a second auxiliary link, wherein the first link and the second link are rotatably connected to each other.

3 . The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the articulation joint includes an arm whose distal end portion is fixed to the main body side member and proximal end portion is rotatably connected to the door side member.

4 . The hinge as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 , the second holding piece is fixed to the first holding piece by a fixing member.

5 . The hinge as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4 , wherein a first spacer is interposed between the first holding piece and the door, and
a second spacer is interposed between the second holding piece and the door.

6 . The hinge as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5 , wherein the door side member includes a door side member main body having the recessed portion and a bracket having the outer shell portion, the first holding piece and the second holding piece, and
wherein the door side member main body is received in the outer shell portion and fixed to the outer shell portion by a fixing member.

7 . A hinge bracket for attaching to a door side member main body of a hinge, the hinge including a main body side member to be attached to a main body, and a door side member main body to be attached to a door, rotatably connected to the main body side member via an articulation joint, and having a recessed portion to receive at least a part of the articulation joint; wherein the hinge bracket comprising:
an outer shell portion for receiving the door side member main body and to be fixed to the door side member main body by a fixing member; a first holding piece protruding from the outer shell portion; and a second holding piece to sandwich the door with the first holding piece in a thickness direction of the door within a range of the outer shell portion in the thickness direction of the door.
