Hinge structure for pivotally mounting telecommunications elements
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11927821B2) discloses a telecommunications element designed to be removably and pivotally mounted to another telecommunications element. The first telecommunications element features a hinge pin with a unique cylindrical shape, divided into right and left pin halves separated by a notch. This design allows for precise alignment with a hinge pin receiver on the second telecommunications element, ensuring secure mounting and limiting movement in a specific direction. Additionally, the telecommunications element includes ribs with abutting surfaces that act as positive stops, controlling pivotal motion between the two elements.
Furthermore, the patent details the versatility of the telecommunications element, which can hold fiber optic adapters, flip-trays, splice trays, and optical equipment like fiber optic splitters. The design also incorporates cable management structures for efficient fiber optic cabling, including curved spools to meet minimum bend radius requirements. The hinge structure described in the patent includes a retention element with an elastically flexible cantilever arm to keep the telecommunications element in an open position. Overall, the patent showcases a sophisticated telecommunications element with a unique hinge structure that enables secure mounting, precise alignment, and controlled pivotal motion, catering to various telecommunications needs efficiently.
