    The document discusses the design of a new pivot hinge that aims to reduce noise and increase stability over long periods of use. Currently, hinges tend to bend and squeak due to friction at the axis from daily stress. The new design proposes adding a grooved lubricating port to the hinge to decrease friction through continuous greasing. 5052 aluminum alloy is selected over stainless steel due to its sufficient properties for a sustainable hinge and lower cost compared to stainless steel.

    Pivot Hinge

    A hinge is a mechanical bearing that connects two solid objects, typically allowing
    only a limited angle of rotation between them. Two objects connected by an ideal
    hinge rotate relative to each other about a fixed axis of rotation: all
    other translations or rotations being prevented, and thus a hinge has one degree of
    freedom. Hinges may be made of flexible material or of moving components.
    In biology, many joints function as hinges like the elbow joint.
    Pivot hinge which pivot in openings in the floor and the top of the door frame. Also
    referred to as a double-acting floor hinge. This type is found in ancient dry stone
    buildings and rarely in old wooden buildings. These are also called haar-hung doors.
    They are a low cost alternative for use with light weight doors.

    Pivot hinge is required to connect a door or window with frame. It is a requirement


    for every house to have hinges as there are a lot of light doors and windows. As per
    consumer it is one of the most important component in building houses. Daily
    thousands of hinges are bought and sold in market. Hinges are needed to make
    different furniture and to make some moving mechanical parts.
    Problem definition:
    Presently found hinges have less stability and they tend to get bent, over a long
    period of time. And, certain stress at a point about the axis can result certain friction
    which makes a certain squeak that results the noise which is unwanted and results
    irritation. So, product i.e. pivot hinge with less noise are required to solve the
    problem.
    Gathering of information:
    Since the hinge provided is mechanical and is subjected to daily stress, it results in
    noise and bending of the bearing. Therefore, for reducing such stress and friction it
    is a necessary to have hinges that can withstand high bending stress and is highly
    lubricated.
    For the sake of low friction and high bending resistance we need to design the
    material that we use in the hinge manufacture and find a very efficient design for
    hinge. The design for the hinge should be made in a fashion that hinge is well
    lubricated and provided with high stress resistivity.
    Conceptualization:
    For better efficiency, giving the hinge some sort of lubricating port can help in
    decreasing effect of friction. For making such port we can create a groove that carries
    lubricating substance. This lubricating substance would grease which will lubricate
    the hinge for an extended period of time.
    And for the strength AISI304 stainless steel or 5052 aluminium alloy can be used,
    but as stainless steel is more expensive than the aluminium alloy, aluminium alloy
    shall be used.

    Though the overall property of steel seems better than the aluminium compound.
    The physical property of aluminium is enough to make sustainable hinge. So we
    choose aluminium over steel.
