Definitions

  • This invention relates to hinges and door stop assemblies.
  • the present invention provides a hinge comprising first and second pivotally-connectable hinge members, the first hinge member having an open-mouthed channel to receive the second hinge member, the second hinge member having a bulbous edge portion arranged to bear against the interior surface of the channel to form the pivotal connection between the members, and the mouth of the channel being narrower than the width of the channel to retain the bulbous portion of the second hinge member in the channel.
  • the bulbous portion is so shaped that it can be inserted into the channel in a direction transverse to the length of the channel. In this way, the need to slide the second hinge member in from an end of the first hinge member is avoided.
  • the bulbous portion is hollow and resiliently deformable so that it can be snap-fitted into the channel. By this means, assembly is facilitated.
  • the bulbous portion as seen in section, is defined by resilient arms projecting from a body portion of the second hinge member.
  • the first hinge member is provided with end members arranged to co-operate with the inserted bulbous portion to prevent its deformation and thus its removal from the channel.
  • each end member has a post arranged to enter the hollow interior of the bulbous portion.
  • the channel is formed with a stop to limit the degree of pivotal movement of the bulbous portion.
  • the stop may be a projection at the base of the channel arranged to co-operate with the distal ends of the arms.
  • the first hinge member is provided with a further channel to receive one edge of a panel to which the hinge is to be attached.
  • the walls of the further channel are provided with teeth or serrations to assist in retaining the panel.
  • the walls of the further channel may be smooth.
  • the base of the further channel is provided with a projecting barb to assist in retaining the panel.
  • the interior of the bulbous portion-receiving channel defines part of a right circular cylinder and the outer surface of the bulbous portion also defines part of a right circular cylinder.
  • the second hinge member has a second bulbous portion to co-operate with a further hinge member.
  • a double hinge can be made which is of particular value for pre-fabricating hinge and panel assemblies for final assembly on site.
  • the first hinge member is made of metal and may comprise an extruded section, for example, of aluminium.
  • the second hinge member is made of plastics material and may comprise an extruded section, for example, of nylon.
  • the invention also provides a door stop assembly comprising first and second interconnectable members, the first member having an open-mouthed channel to receive the second member, the second member having a bulbous edge portion arranged to fit in the interior surface of the channel and a door stop head projecting from the bulbous edge portion, and the mouth of the channel being narrower than the width of the channel to retain the bulbous portion of the second member in the channel.
  • the bulbous portion is so shaped that it can be inserted into the channel in a direction transverse to the length of the channel.
  • the bulbous portion is hollow and' resiliently deformable so that it can be snap-fitted into the channel.
  • the bulbous portion as seen in section, is defined by resilient arms projecting from the door stop bead.
  • the first member is provided with end members arranged to co-operate with the inserted bulbous portion to prevent its deformation and thus its removal from the channel.
  • each end member has a post arranged to enter the hollow interior of the bulbous portion.
  • the channel is formed with a projection at the base of the channel to engage the distal ends of the arms and prevent rotation of the second member within the channel.
  • the first member is provided with a further channel to receive one edge of a panel to which the door stop assembly is to be attached.
  • the walls of the further channel are provided with teeth or serrations to assist in retaining the panel.
  • the walls of the further channel may be smooth.
  • the base of the further channel is provided with a projecting barb to assist in retaining the panel.
  • the interior of the bulbous portion-receiving channel defines part of a right circular cylinder and the outer surface of the bulbous portion also defines part of a right circular cylinder.
  • the first member is made of metal and may comprise an extruded section, for example, of aluminium.
  • the second member is made of plastics material and may comprise an extruded section, for example, of nylon.
  • a cubicle according to the invention comprises a plurality of panels hinged to each other by means of a hinge according to the invention and/or provided with a door stop assembly according to the invention.
  • a hinge 1 which comprises first and second channel members 2 and 3 respectively, a linking member 4 and end members 5.
  • the lengths of the channel and linking members are preferably, but not necessarily, equal to each other.
  • the hinge 1 is intended for mounting a first panel 6 to a second panel 7, the panels constituting, for example, the door and a wall of a toilet, shower or changing cubicle.
  • Each channel member 2, 3 consists of an aluminium extruded section defining a first channel 8 to receive the edge of a panel 6, 7, and a second channel 9 to receive a part of the linking member 4.
  • the interior of the channel 8 is provided with a multiplicity of teeth or serrations 10 and the channel is of rectangular section.
  • the interior of the channel 9 defines a major arc of a circle and includes a projecting stop member 11 at the base of the channel.
  • Two bores 12 are provided at each end of each channel member 2, 3 to receive self-tapping screws for fixing the end members 5.
  • the linking member 4 is an extruded nylon section comprising two bulbous portions 13 and 14 joined by a central section 15.
  • Each bulbous portion 13, 14 is defined by a pair of arms 16 and 17 defining a major arc of a right- circular hollow cylinder.
  • the external diameter of the cylinder defined by the arms 16 and 17 corresponds to the diameter of the circle defined by the interior of each channel 9 and the arc defined by the arms 16 and 17 is such as to provide a desired degree of movement in conjunction with the stop member 11.
  • Each end member 5 is made of plastics material and comprises a plate 18 with holes and recesses for two self-tapping screws 19, and a post 20 depending from the plate.
  • the external shape of the post 20 corresponds to the internal shape of the hollow cylinder defined by the arms 16 and 17.
  • Each channel member 2, 3 is hammered home onto the edge of its associated panel (of the same length as the channel member) using a suitable jig.
  • glue is inserted into the channel members prior to fixing to the panels to make the fixing more secure.
  • one bulbous portion 13, 14 of the linking member is snap-fitted (by virtue of the resiliency of the nylon arms 16, 17) into one of the channels 9, the other bulbous portion being left unconnected.
  • a respective end member is now fitted, the posts 20 being inserted in the space enclosed by the arms 16 and 17 and the plate 18 screwed home by means of the self-tapping screws.
  • many parts as are required for a particular installation can be pre - assembled in this way and then delivered on site for erection.
  • a wall panel can be hinged to another wall panel, a wall panel to two other wall panels, and a door panel to a.wall panel as desired.
  • FIG 2 shows that two panels connected in this way are capable of moving from a position in which they are in line to a position in which they enclose a right angle, the limits of movement being defined by the ends of the arms 16 and 17 engaging the stop member 11 as the bulbous portions 13, 14 of the linking member rotate in the channel 9 which provide a bearing surface for them.
  • the posts 20 projecting into the interiors of the hollow bulbous portion 13 and 14 prevent the arms 16 and 17 from deforming, so retaining the hinge in its assembled condition against the action of any external forces tending to pull the linking member 4 free.
  • the channel members 2, 3 can also be used as part of a door stop assembly by snap-fitting door stop members 21 into the channels 9 in place of the bulbous portions 13, 14 of the linking member 4.
  • Each door stop member 21 is an extruded nylon section and consists of a bulbous portion 13' defined by a pair of arms 16' and 17' similar to the arms 16 and 17 of the linking portion 4 except that the gap between the ends of the arms 16' and 17' is just sufficient to receive the stop member 11.
  • a door stop bead 22, integrally formed with the bulbous portion 13', projects from the bulbous portion to co-operate with the bead of another door stop member 21 as shown in Figure 5.
  • the door stop members 21 are snap-fitted into place and secured with end members 5 in the same way as the linking member 4.
  • one door stop member 21 would be provided on a fixed panel and an associated door stop member would be provided on a door panel. It is clear from Figure 5, that the stop members 11 prevent the door stop members 21 from rotating within the channel members.
  • Figure 6 shows an alternative form the channel members 2 and 3 may take.
  • the channel members 2 , 3 are provided with an integral continuous barb 23 projecting from the bases of the rectangular channels 8.
  • the purpose of the barbs 23 is to retain the edge of the inserted panel whilst splaying out the panel to increase the effect of the teeth 10. By this means, the security of fixing can be improved, if desired.
  • the hinge and door stop assembly described above is inexpensive, aesthetically pleasing and quick and easy to assemble. It has other applications besides that of constructing cubicles, for examples, it may be used to hinge display panels together for use at exhibitions.
  • the hinge is advantageous for exhibition use since the display panels can be readily demounted by snapping out the linking members once the end members have been unscrewed and removed.
  • the hinge shown in the drawings is a double hinge by virtue of the fact that the linking member has two bulbous portions and is used with two channel members.
  • the invention could, however, be applied to a single hinge by using one channel member with another hinge member consisting of a single bulbous portion provided with mounting means.
  • mounting plates for fixing by screws could be provided as in the case of an ordinary door hinge.
  • each bulbous portion could be a solid body so shaped that it can be inserted through and removed from the mouth of the channel only at a particular orientation outside the normal working range of the hinge.
  • fixing screws may be inserted through the channel member and panel from the outside.
  • the end members and/or the linking members and/or the door stop members may be made of metal or any other suitable material as an alternative to plastics material.
  • the channel members may be made of plastics or any other suitable material as an alternative to metal.
