Hydraulic hinge is attached to a gate to prevent an
impact due to a quick opening and quick closing of the gate. The
hydraulic hinge comprises a first hinge member and second hinge member,
and a hydraulic damper. The first hinge member is defined by a
cylindrical body comprising a longitudinal axis about which the second
hinge member is rotatable to rotate the hydraulic hinge between an open
position and a closed position. The hydraulic damper is positioned
within a cavity of the cylindrical body, and comprises a shaft
positioned within a housing, and a hydraulic fluid filled in a space
defined between the shaft and the housing. The hydraulic damper is in
communication with the second hinge member, to provide resistance
against slamming of the gate when the shaft is internally rotated
through the hydraulic fluid during a quick opening and quick closing of
the gate.
