Description
2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
3 1. Field of the Invention
4 The present invention relates to a door closer, and more particularly relates to a door closer that is connected between a door frame and a door panel 6 to assist the door panel to move backwardly the original position relative to the 7 door frame and can be assembled between a door frame and a door panel of 8 different sizes.
9 2. Description of Related Art With reference to Fig. 11, a conventional door closer is connected 11 between a door frame 60 and a door panel 61 and has an elongated tube 70, a 12 connecting base 76 and a linking set 72. The elongated tube 70 is hollow, is 13 connected to a top of the door panel 61 and has a top side, a track slot and a 14 sliding block 71. The track slot is formed in the top side of the elongated tube 70.
The sliding block 71 is slidably mounted in the track slot of the elongated tube 70 16 and had a top end extending out of the top side of the elongated tube 70. The 17 connecting base 76 is securely mounted on a side of the door frame 60 and has a 18 bottom side.
19 The linking set 72 is connected to the elongated tube 70 and the connecting base 76 and has an arm pipe 73 and a linking shaft 74. The arm pipe 21 73 is hollow, is connected to the sliding block 71 of the elongated tube 70 and has 22 a connecting end and a mounting end. The connecting end of the arm pipe 73 is 23 pivotally connected to the top end of the sliding block 71. The linking shaft 74 is 1 mounted in the arm pipe 73, is pivotally connected to the connecting base 76 and 2 has an inserting end and a pivot end. The inserting end of the linking shaft 74 is 3 inserted into the arm pipe 73 via the mounting end of the arm pipe 73 and is 4 securely connected to the arm pipe 73 by a fastener 75. The pivot end of the linking shaft 74 is pivotally connected to the bottom side of the connecting base 6 76. In addition, the position of the inserting end of the linking shaft 74 can be 7 adjusted relative to the arm pipe 73 to change the total length of the linking set 8 72.
9 In use, after the conventional door closer is connected to the door frame 60 and the door panel 61, when the door panel 61 is open to rotate relative to the 11 door frame 60, the linking set 72 is rotated relative to the connecting base 76 by 12 the sliding block 71 moving in the track slot of the elongated tube 70.
In addition, 13 the linking set 72 can be used to limit the rotating angle of the door panel 61 14 relative to the door frame 60. Furthermore, when the door panel 61 is closed to move backwardly to the door frame 60, the sliding block 71 is moved in the track 16 slot in an opposite direction, and this can enable the linking set 72 to assist the 17 door panel 61 to move backwardly the original position.
18 The linking set 72 of the conventional door closer can be adjusted to 19 change the total length of the conventional door closer, and this can enable the conventional door closer to assemble on the door frame 60 and the door panel 21 of different sizes. However, based on the cost and operation considerations of the 22 conventional door closer, the adjusting range of the linking set 72 of the 23 conventional door closer is limited and cannot be assembled on various sizes of 1 door frame 60 and door panel 61. Therefore, different sizes of linking sets 72 are 2 needed to be manufactured to use on various sizes of door frame 60 and door 3 panel 61, and this will increase the cost of using the conventional door closer and 4 will limit the practicality of the conventional door closer.
Therefore, the invention provides a door closer to mitigate or obviate the 6 aforementioned problems.
8 One aspect of the present invention is to provide a door closer that is 9 connected between a door frame and a door panel to assist the door panel to move backwardly the original position relative to the door frame and can be assembled 11 between a door frame and a door panel of different sizes.
12 The door closer in accordance with the present invention has a fixing set, 13 a bidirectional set and an extending set. The fixing set has an elongated tube. The 14 elongated tube has two opposite sidewalls and an opening. The bidirectional set is connected to the fixing set, is movably mounted in the elongated tube and has 16 a connecting panel formed on and protruding from the bidirectional set and 17 extending out of the opening. The extending set is pivotally connected to the 18 bidirectional set and has a guiding track, an extending arm, a locking board and a 19 connecting panel. The extending arm is movably mounted in the guiding track and has a connecting end extending out of the guiding track. The locking board 21 engages the guiding track and is connected to the extending arm to adjust a total 22 length of the extending set. The connecting panel is connected to the connecting 23 end of the extending arm.

23 With reference to Figs. 1 and 2, a door closer in accordance with the 1 present invention comprises a fixing set 10, a bidirectional set 20, an extending 2 set 30, an optional buffering set 40 and an optional switching set 50.
3 The fixing set 10 has an elongated tube 11, a first end plug 12 and a 4 second end plug 13. The elongated tube 11 may be a hollow rectangular tube and
9 2. Description of Related Art With reference to Fig. 11, a conventional door closer is connected 11 between a door frame 60 and a door panel 61 and has an elongated tube 70, a 12 connecting base 76 and a linking set 72. The elongated tube 70 is hollow, is 13 connected to a top of the door panel 61 and has a top side, a track slot and a 14 sliding block 71. The track slot is formed in the top side of the elongated tube 70.
The sliding block 71 is slidably mounted in the track slot of the elongated tube 70 16 and had a top end extending out of the top side of the elongated tube 70. The 17 connecting base 76 is securely mounted on a side of the door frame 60 and has a 18 bottom side.
19 The linking set 72 is connected to the elongated tube 70 and the connecting base 76 and has an arm pipe 73 and a linking shaft 74. The arm pipe 21 73 is hollow, is connected to the sliding block 71 of the elongated tube 70 and has 22 a connecting end and a mounting end. The connecting end of the arm pipe 73 is 23 pivotally connected to the top end of the sliding block 71. The linking shaft 74 is 1 mounted in the arm pipe 73, is pivotally connected to the connecting base 76 and 2 has an inserting end and a pivot end. The inserting end of the linking shaft 74 is 3 inserted into the arm pipe 73 via the mounting end of the arm pipe 73 and is 4 securely connected to the arm pipe 73 by a fastener 75. The pivot end of the linking shaft 74 is pivotally connected to the bottom side of the connecting base 6 76. In addition, the position of the inserting end of the linking shaft 74 can be 7 adjusted relative to the arm pipe 73 to change the total length of the linking set 8 72.
9 In use, after the conventional door closer is connected to the door frame 60 and the door panel 61, when the door panel 61 is open to rotate relative to the 11 door frame 60, the linking set 72 is rotated relative to the connecting base 76 by 12 the sliding block 71 moving in the track slot of the elongated tube 70.
In addition, 13 the linking set 72 can be used to limit the rotating angle of the door panel 61 14 relative to the door frame 60. Furthermore, when the door panel 61 is closed to move backwardly to the door frame 60, the sliding block 71 is moved in the track 16 slot in an opposite direction, and this can enable the linking set 72 to assist the 17 door panel 61 to move backwardly the original position.
18 The linking set 72 of the conventional door closer can be adjusted to 19 change the total length of the conventional door closer, and this can enable the conventional door closer to assemble on the door frame 60 and the door panel 21 of different sizes. However, based on the cost and operation considerations of the 22 conventional door closer, the adjusting range of the linking set 72 of the 23 conventional door closer is limited and cannot be assembled on various sizes of 1 door frame 60 and door panel 61. Therefore, different sizes of linking sets 72 are 2 needed to be manufactured to use on various sizes of door frame 60 and door 3 panel 61, and this will increase the cost of using the conventional door closer and 4 will limit the practicality of the conventional door closer.
Therefore, the invention provides a door closer to mitigate or obviate the 6 aforementioned problems.
8 One aspect of the present invention is to provide a door closer that is 9 connected between a door frame and a door panel to assist the door panel to move backwardly the original position relative to the door frame and can be assembled 11 between a door frame and a door panel of different sizes.
