Definitions
- the invention relates to a hinge joint for flaps or the like pivotable about horizontal axes, comprising a hinge part forming a supporting wall stop part and a pivotable hinge part which are articulated to one another by a pair of links to form a four-bar system, and with one on one of the links at a distance from one of its articulation axes brake shoe transmitting the counteracting torque.
- a hinge joint for flaps consisting of two links is known, which is provided with a locking device which is effective in the area of the open position and which prevents the stair from accidentally falling shut.
- the known devices are disadvantageous in that they partly require a large amount of space, partly require additional braking or compensation devices in addition to the actual flap joints and partly: Do not allow the flaps to remain in intermediate positions.
- a handlebar is connected to a cam disc, with the cam surface of which a spring-loaded brake shoe cooperates in a frictionally locking manner must have a widened cam surface.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a hinge joint of the type specified at the beginning, the handlebars of which can be acted upon in a simple manner with a braking force which compensates for the flap torque, without these having to be connected to special cam disks.
- this object is achieved in that the brake shoe is attached to the handlebar at a distance from the hinge axis and is guided in a guide which is concentric with the hinge axis and is located in a wall of the housing of the hinge part containing the hinge axis, and in that the brake shoe is frictionally engaged with the leadership or its peripheral areas cooperates.
- the guide consists of an arcuate elongated slot, which passes through a pin attached to the handlebar, which carries at its free end the brake shoe, which is supported under elastic tension on the edge of the elongated hole.
- an insert forming a friction part with a slot concentric to the hinge axis can be inserted into the curved slot, the edges of which are supported on the edges of the slot.
- the insert can be made of plastic or a special material that increases friction.
- the edge of the insert has a continuously increasing profile.
- the profile increases in such a way that the increasing torque with increasing pivoting of the flap is compensated for by a correspondingly increased braking force.
- a resilient part is expediently arranged between the head of the pin and the brake shoe.
- the springy material can consist of a disc spring or a disc made of elastomeric material.
- the brake shoe is expediently U-shaped in cross section and, with its edges adapted to the curvature of the insert, engages over the edges of the insert, so that it is guided and inadvertent rotation is prevented.
- the pin expediently consists of a screw screwed into the handlebar, so that the desired braking torque corresponding to the respective valve weight can be set via this screw.
- the supporting wall stop part essentially consists of a flat housing formed from two interconnected, mutually parallel plates and at least one of the links mounted in it carries a guide block at a distance from its articulated axis, which engages with it Front side supported on the supporting wall side housing plate.
- one of the links has a cam with an end face which is concentric with the hinge axis and which is delimited by flanks falling down towards the hinge axis, and that a spring-loaded latching lug, which is guided in the housing, is supported on the cam in the open and closed positions on one of the flanks.
- a plate which at least partially covers the space between the links is expediently attached to the flap-side outer link.
- the hinge joint 1 shown in Fig. 1 is used to link a flap 2 opening from the bottom up to, for example, a box-shaped furniture part 3.
- the hinge joint consists of a hinge part 4 forming a supporting wall stop part and a pivotable hinge part 5, in which the outer link 6 and the inner link 7 are stored.
- the hinge parts 4 and 5 consist of flat housings which are formed by U-shaped sheets and are therefore open to the side of the web.
- the links 6, 7 are mounted on hinge pins 10, 11 which are fastened in the side walls 8, 9 of the hinge part 4.
- the other ends of the links 6, 7 are pivotally mounted about pivot pins 12, 13, which are fastened in the side walls 14, 15 of the hinge part 5.
- the links 6, 7 form a four-bar system 10, 11, 12, 13 with the hinge parts 4, 5.
- the hinge part 4 forming the supporting wall stop part is fastened to the supporting wall by the screws 16, 17, 18.
- the screws 16, 17 are located in keyhole-like elongated holes 19, 20, so that the hinge part 4 can be set up in the vertical direction after its pre-assembly.
- To tighten the screws 16, 17 are intended in the upper wall 8 of the hinge part 4 for penetration by the screwdriver Elongated holes 21, 22 are provided. After the necessary adjustment of the hinge part 4, this is finally fixed by the screw 18 on the supporting wall.
- the pivotable hinge part 5 is fastened to the flap 2 by means of screws 26, a keyhole-shaped elongated hole 23, a slit-shaped elongated hole 24 and a bore 25 for the fixing screw being provided for the screws 26 in the web part 27 of the hinge part 5 after the adjustment.
- the upper edge 28 of the flap 2 forms in the assembled state of the hinge 1 with the top 29 of the upper wall of the furniture part 3 a step from the height a, so that when the flap 2 is pivoted, its parts do not protrude beyond the plane of the top 29.
- an arcuate slot 30 is provided, which is arranged concentrically to the bore 31 for the bearing pin 13.
- the insert part 32 is made of plastic or another friction-increasing, wear-resistant material with its fitting part 33 corresponding to the contour of the slot 30 in such a way that it overlaps the friction part 34 on the wall 15 in the edge region of the slot 30 supports.
- the friction part 34 increases in height starting from the right side shown in FIG. 7 to the left side.
- the insert part 32 is provided with an elongated hole 35 through which the screw 36, which is screwed into the handlebar 6, engages.
- the screw 36 continues through the brake shoe 37, the disk 38 made of elastomeric material and the pressure disk 39, which is supported against the screw head 40.
- the brake shoe 37 overlaps the insert part 32 with its curved edges 41, 42, so that the brake shoe 37 is guided thereon.
- the pressure plate 39 is provided with a peripheral edge 43, so that the resilient plate 38 is fitted into the pressure plate 39.
- the frictional force which is generated by frictional engagement between the brake shoe 37 and the insert part 32 can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the screw 36 accordingly.
- the braking torque results from the set friction force and the lever arm, which corresponds to the distance of the screw 36 from the hinge pin 13.
- the friction part 34 of the insert part 32 has the slope shown in FIG. 7, in order to increase the braking torque holding the flap in accordance with the flap torque which increases when the flap is opened.
- the links 6, 7 are mounted on the hinge pins 10, 11, 12 via bushings 44.
- disks 45, 46 are inserted on the sides of the handlebars opposite the bushings 44.
- the disks 46 have a greater thickness than the flanges of the bushings 44, so that the links 6, 7 are so far away from the supporting wall that they cannot scrape on the inside thereof.
- a pin 47 provided with a head 48 made of plastic or another material with favorable friction properties is inserted into a bore of the link 7.
- a disc 48 of the same material is placed on the end of the pin 47 passing through the handlebar 7.
- the head 48 of the pin 47 has the same thickness as the flange of the bush 44 and the washer 49 is as thick as the washer 46.
- the pin 47 and the washer 49 which slide on the inner sides of the walls 8, 9, confer this Handlebar 7 and thus the entire hinge joint good lateral stability.
- a sleeve 50 made of plastic or another material with favorable friction properties is pushed onto the end of the link 7, which is mounted on the pivot pin 13.
- the sleeve 50 is essentially rectangular in cross-section and rests with its flat sides 51, 52 on the inner sides of the walls 14, 15 of the pivotable hinge part 5. This also increases the transverse stability of the hinge joint.
- the sleeve has a continuous bore 51 for the pivot pin 13 and a further bore 52 for the screw 36 to pass through.
- the sleeve 53 is provided with a cam 54. This cam has a peripheral surface 54 that is concentric with the hinge pin 13 and lateral flanks 55, 56.
- a latch 57 cooperates with the cam 53 and is arranged at the front end of a sleeve-shaped part 58.
- This sleeve-shaped part 58 which is approximately rectangular in cross-section, is guided so as to be longitudinally displaceable in the pivotable hinge part 5 between embossed ribs 59. It is supported by a compression spring 60 on the web part 27 of the pivotable hinge part 5.
- the detent 27 slides on the cam 53 in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
