发明名称 Hinge arrangement for a garment washing device
摘要 A bra-washing device includes a shell with an interior, the shell includes two shell portions, each with a rim. A latch holds the two shell portions closed and the latch may be opened to access the interior of the shell. A hinge pivotally couples the two shell portions to each other. The hinge includes at least one hinge knuckle extending from the rim of each shell portion, the hinge knuckles of the two shell portions in axial alignment, an internal bore extending into the hinge knuckles on each shell portion, a hinge pin inserted into the internal bore of the hinge knuckles, and a fastener extending at least partially through the internal bore near one end of the hinge pin to block the hinge pin from sliding out of the internal bore.

主权项 1. A bra-washing device, comprising: a shell having an interior; the shell including two shell portions, each shell portion having a rim; a latch which holds the two shell portions closed when the latch is closed and which may be opened by releasing the latch to access the interior of the shell; a hinge which pivotally couples the two shell portions to each other, the hinge comprising: at least one hinge knuckle extending from the rim of each shell portion, wherein the hinge knuckles of the two shell portions have internal bores that are configured to be in axial alignment extending into the hinge knuckles on each shell portion, an end projection on one of the shell portions, the end projection located axially outward of the hinge knuckles, the end projection has an end projection internal bore that has open ends, the end projection internal bore configured to be in axial alignment with the internal bores of the hinge knuckles to form a hinge internal bore, the end projection has an aperture that intersects the end projection internal bore at a location axially inward of the outer open end of the end projection internal bore and wherein the aperture is not in axial alignment with the internal bores of the hinge knuckles, a hinge pin having an end, the hinge pin inserted through the outer open end of the end projection internal bore and into the internal bores of the hinge knuckles such that the hinge pin is disposed entirely within the hinge internal bore and not axially outward of the aperture, said hinge pin is configured to migrate axially outward of the outer open end of the end projection internal bore unless restrained, and a fastener is inserted into the aperture of the end projection to keep the hinge pin from migrating beyond the fastener and out of the hinge internal bore and wherein the fastener contacts both sides of the end projection internal bore.
