Description
- The present invention relates to a hinge device with preset stable positions.
- Hinge types are currently known, termed "hidden" hinges, which are employed for obtaining a stable opening position, e.g. of a shutter, of a piece of furniture, or of a door.
- These known types, which are usually provided with a single stable position arranged approximately at 90' to the closed position, are structurally very complicated and bulky.
- Known types of hinges employed for example for hanging furniture or wall unit doors, are frequently placed internally and, due to their bulk, do not allow the storage of books or other items proximate to the wall or side panel of the furniture.
- Hinges employed for doors, instead, are placed internally to the paving due to their bulk, and therefore entail an additional installation cost.
- As a partial solution of these problems, the use is known, though only for hanging furniture doors, of a hinge comprising a first element which is, associable with the door, provided with a nib protruding perpendicularly to the central body, and freely pivoting on a second element which can be associated with the wall or side panel of a piece of furniture.
- This nib, in the opening phase, abuts a pin which is associated with said second element and is endowed with an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the pin itself.
- Also in this case, however, the hinge is bulky and unsightly, and is not employable for hanging doors.
- The main aim of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the above described disadvantages found in the prior art by devising a hinge device, which is versatile in that it can be employed for hanging both for furniture doors and for doors or other shutters, which has one or more stable equilibrium positions, and which is structurally simple.
- Within the scope of the above described aim, another important object is to provide a hinge device that associates with the preceding characteristic that of having unchanged dimensions with respect to hinges of known kinds which do not define preset stable positions.
- Another important object is to obtain a hinge which furthermore has a limited cost and can be produced with conventional manufacturing plant.
- The aim and the objects described are achieved by a hinge device with preset stable positions, comprising a male element and a female element associable with an element to be hinged and a vertical supporting element, characterized in that it comprises a pivot, having at least one recess interacting with a sliding element adapted for insertion within said recesses to define one or more positions of elastic stability for the door, said element being adapted for cooperating with an elastically deformable means accommodated within a preset seat provided in a pin.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description of a particular, but not exclusive, embodiment, illustrated by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the hinge device associated with a door;
- Fig. 2 is a partly sectional lateral detail view of the hinge device of figure 1, showing the female element sectioned along a longitudinal plane;
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the cross section plane III-III of Fig. 2, showing the position assumed by the hinge in the condition of Fig. 1, i.e. with the door closed;
- Figs. 4 and 5 are views similar to Fig.3, showing the hinge device in a partial open condition in a position of instability and in an open condition in a position of stability, respectively.
- Fig. 6 is a view, similar to that of Fig. 3, which illustrates the arrangement of the male and female elements when the hinge is not associated with any fixture;
- Fig. 7 is a fragmentary sectional view of the hinge device showing the slide element according to another aspect of the invention;
- Figs. 8 and 9 are partly sectional views illustrating two further aspects of the hinge device according to the invention; and,
- Fig. 10 is a fragmentary sectional view of a further aspect of the inventive hinge device suitable for obtaining the automatic closing of the door for a given angular position assumed by the same.
- With reference to the previously described drawings, a particular embodiment of a hinge device 1 has been considered, comprising a
male element 2 expediently provided with a pair of pins, indicated by thenumerals pin 7, with the side of a door, furniture door, shutter, or similar element to be hinged, generally indicated by thereference numeral 8. - From the
male element 2, protrudes apivot 9, which is advantageously provided, in the particular embodiment, with three recesses, designated respectively with thenumerals second recess 11 and thethird recess 12. - These
recesses pivot 9 and extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of themale element 2. - The
second recess 11 is advantageously provided substantially opposite to thepins third recesses 10 and 12 respectively, are angularly displaced by an angle o( with respect to theaxis 14, (fig. 3), arranged substantially perpendicular to alongitudinal axis 100 passing through the pair ofpins - Starting from this
longitudinal axis 100, of the pair- ofpins third recess 12 is advantageously angularly displaced with respect to thesecond recess 11 by an angle of 90' degrees plus the angle α, the first recess 10 in turn, expediently being angularly displaced with respect to thesecond recess 11 by an angle of 270' degrees minus the angle α , as illustrated in Fig. 3. - On the lateral surface of the female element 6, on the longitudinal axis passing through the
pin 7, abore 15 is provided, having a diameter which is essentially smaller than that of the pin itself and a depth which is expediently slightly greater than that of the diameter of the cylindrical body of the female element itself. - Thus the
bore 15 transversely crosses theseat 90 of thepivot 9. - At the
blind end 16 of the bore 15 a seat is thus defined for an elasticallydeformable element 17, expediently composed of an helical spring or a cylindrical element, provided in an elastically deformable material, such as, for example, a plastic material. - With the end 170 of said elastically
deformable element 17 facing the pivot 9 a movable or sliding element 18 is associable, composed e.g. of a small spherical element or ball 18 having a diameter slightly smaller than that of thebore 12. - The longitudinal extension of the
element 17 is advantageously selected so that the elasticallydeformable element 17 acts against theblind end 16 of thebore 15 to exert a biasing force effective to push the spherical element 18 towards thepivot 9, the first, second andthird recesses - In order to close said
bore 15, on the lateral surface of the female element 6 a longitudinal milling is provided, which acts as a seat for a matchinglyshaped closure element 19. - Figs. 3 to 5 illustrate the operation of the hinge device 1: figure 3 illustrates the condition in which the
door 8 is closed, in this case the angle between the axes of the pair ofpins pin 7 being of 90'. - In this position, however, the spherical element 18 is not completely inserted within the
third recess 12, since the latter is angularly displaced by an angle 0( with respect to theaxis 14. - The elastically
deformable element 17 will therefore be slightly compressed, and since this is a position of instability, the hinge will biased towards a stable equilibrium position, i.e. it will bias thedoor 8 into its closed position. - Fig. 6 shows the position that the hinge 1 would assume if it were not associated with the frame 5 and the door 8: i.e. when rotation of the female element 6 on the
male element 2 is not delimited by adoor 8 or the like, abutting a frame or support member 5, in particular, figure 6 illustrates the respective positions assumed by the pair ofpins pin 7, as the spherical element 18 is pushed into thethird recess 12, thereby biasing the portion of the convex surface of the spherical element 18 facing the concave surface of thethird recess 12, into abutment engagement relationship therewith, by virtue of the elastic biasing action of the elasticallydeformable element 17 acting between theblind end 16 of thebore 15 and the spherical element 18. In this condition, the respective axes of the pair ofpins pin 7, lie on planes which are displaced from each other by an angle equal to 90 degrees minus the angle α - The aperture of the angle α is of a few degrees, preferably five degrees, though obviously, greater or smaller angles may be adopted according to requirements.
- Fig. 4 shows an intermediate position which schematically illustrates the
door 8 opening phase. - In this phase, the lateral circumferential surface of the
pivot 9 interposed between thesecond recess 11 and thethird recess 12 forces the spherical element 18 into thebore 15 and therefore compresses the elasticallydeformable element 17 against theblind end 16. - In this intermediate phase, the lateral, circumferential surface of the
pivot 9 slides on the convex surface of the spherical element 18 until another stable equilibrium condition is achieved, illustrated in Fig. 5, in which the spherical element 18 engages with thesecond recess 11, in abutment engagement relationship therewith, and the axes of the pair ofpins pin 7 are arranged on the same longitudinal plane. - This is the open-door condition, which can be changed only by exerting a force effective to cause the spherical element 18 to disengage from the
second seat 11, by compressing the elasticallydeformable element 17 and sliding on the lateral circumferential surface of thepivot 9. - The first recess 10 has been provided, in the illustrated example, with the same characteristics as the
recess 12, so as to allow the use of the hinge 1 both for left-side doors and for right-side doors. - It has thus been observed that the invention achieves the proposed aim and objects: indeed, though it may be employed indifferently for doors or shutters, has unchanged dimensions with respect to hinges hitherto employed, allowing the achievement of a desired number of stable equilibrium positions.
- Furthermore, the hinge is structurally simple and allows the achievement of an optimum abutment closing of the door.
- Naturally, the invention thus conceived is susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the same inventive concept.
- Thus, as an example, the number of recesses, their angular position and their shape may be any, according to requirements.
- In Fig. 7 a variation of a
hinge device 101 is illustrated, wherein thesliding element 118 is composed of a pivot provided with a rounded head and anannular base 120 interacting with the elasticallydeformable element 117, the end of the bore which communicates with the seat of thepivot 109 being slightly upturned to prevent accidental escape of theelement 118 when the male and female elements are uncoupled. - In Fig. 8 a variation of a
hinge device 201 is illustrated, comprising amale element 202 having apivot 209 shaped as in the example illustrated in figures 1 to 6. - In this variation however, the
female element 206 has twopins 207a and 207b, which are each bored along the longitudinal axis, this bore extending through the cylindrical body of the female element up to its internal seat for thepin 209. - Within each bore formed in the
pins 207a and 207b, asliding element 218 is inserted, followed by an elasticallydeformable element 217, the bores themselves being advantageously closed by asmall cylinder 221 upturned at the end of the pin, though obviously, any suitable closure means may be alternatively employed according to requirements. - In this case a further advantage derives from the use of a pair of
elements deformable elements 217 in order to disengage both slidingelements 218 from the recesses provided on thepivot 209. - Fig. 9 shows a variation wherein each of the recesses, though shaped matchingly with the end of the sliding element interacting therewith, is not provided in a longitudinal direction but only locally on the lateral surface of the pivot.
- In Fig. 10 a further variation of a
hinge device 301 is illustrated, wherein thepivot 309 has aplane surface 322, adapted for cooperation with the spherical element for automatically closing or biasing a door towards a closed position. - This configuration will allow, once a certain door angle has been exceeded, the interaction between the sliding element 318 and the
surface 322 itself, theelement 317 imparting the force necessary to allow a desired angular motion of the door; this motion biasing the door automatically towards a closed position. - Obviously, all of the elements of the above- described hinge device may be substituted by any technically equivalent elements.
- Furthermore, any materials, dimensions and contingent shapes may be used acoording to requirements.
