ABSTRACT:
A door hinge includes a hydraulic retarding device for cushioning the closing action of a door. The hydraulic retarding device has a cylinder body which confines a fluid operating space to receive hydraulic fluid therein. The fluid operating space includes a pair of longitudinally extending cylindrical spaces and an intermediate longitudinal passage provided between and communicating the cylindrical spaces. A vane unit is provided in each of the cylindrical spaces and has a blade which defines a longitudinal clearance with an inner surface of the cylinder body. A baffle extends longitudinally into each of the cylindrical spaces and is disposed between the passage and a respective one of the vane units. The baffles are substantially arc-shaped in cross-section and face away from each other. A gate valve is provided in the passage between the baffles. The vane units are operably associated with the door movement so as to open the gate valve to permit the hydraulic fluid to flow through the passage during a door opening action and so as to close the gate valve to prevent the hydraulic fluid from flowing through the passage and to permit the hydraulic fluid to flow only through the clearance between the vane units and the inner surface of the cylinder body in order to retard the movement of the vane units during a door closing action.
