Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spring closing device for a door or the like.
  • the torsion bar as well as the intermediate parts are surrounded by a decorative and protective tube.
  • the object of the present invention is in particular to remedy these drawbacks and to this end relates to a spring-closing device characterized in that a tube provided with a slot along one of its generatrices is arranged around the bar between the hinges, this tube being held coaxially on the bar by adjacent cores or washers of the hinges, the bar passing freely inside at least one of these cores or washers, movable by sliding on the bar at the inside the tube.
  • the torsion bar comprises end caps provided with a passage inside which the torsion bar can be immobilized.
  • the present invention therefore aims to achieve a spring closure device of simple construction, easy assembly, reliable operation, a small footprint and whose construction is such that the adjustment of the door becomes virtually impossible by vandalism for people not aware of its particular construction.
  • a door is shown, the leaf 1 of which is mounted articulated by three hinges 2, 3, 4 on an upright 5 of the door frame.
  • Each hinge therefore consists of a mobile element 21, 31, 41 which is fixed on the door panel 1 and a fixed element 22, 32, 42 which is fixed on the upright 5 of the door frame.
  • the automatic return of the door to the closed position is provided by a spring steel bar 6 acting in torsion and which connects the node of the fixed element of a hinge to the node of the movable element of the other hinge.
  • the torsion bar 6 passes freely through the hollow axis 7 of the intermediate hinge 3 and its upper end penetrates inside the node of the movable element 21 to the inside of which it is fixed in rotation by a needle screw 8.
  • the lower end of the torsion bar 6 freely crosses, by a portion of hollow axis, the node of the movable element of the lower hinge 4 and is fixed inside the node of the movable element by a needle screw 9.
  • the torsional torque of the bar is exerted between a fixed element of a hinge and the movable element of another hinge in order to automatically return the door to the closed position.
  • the torsion bar 6 is secured to a stud 10 located near its upper end in the adjacent position of the hinge 2.
  • This stud 10 is provided with radial perforations 101. These perforations are intended to receive a tool making it possible to exert a twist on the bar 6 before it is blocked by the needle screw 8. This initial twist determines the return torque of the door in the rest position, that is to say the cut which avoids untimely beating of the door panel.
  • the torsion bar In order to facilitate the mounting of the torsion bar, it will preferably be made in two parts assembled to each other by a tenon 11 and mortise 12 assembly, this assembly preferably being placed at the hinge intermediate 3, in order to conceal itself inside this hinge.
  • the torsion bar 6 is also housed, between the hinges, inside tubes 13, split along one of their generatrices, which have the purpose of concealing the torsion bar and of preventing its deterioration by vandelism.
  • the width of this slot is established so that the tube can be placed on the bench passing through this slot.
  • These tubes 13 are held coaxially with the bar 6, between the hinges, by cylindrical studs 14 which are fitted into the upper and lower ends of the nodes of the hinges. These studs 14 are provided with openings in which the torsion bar 6 passes freely.
  • One of these studs 14 will in reality be constituted by the pre-tensioning stud 10 of the bar and this stud will therefore also be hidden after mounting the tubes 13.
  • the door or the like is supported by two hinges 15 and 16 whose movable element 15 mobile, 161 pivots by its plug 152, 162 on the node of the movable element 153 , 163.
  • the torsion bar 17 connects the fixed element 153 of the hinge 15 to the mobile element 161 of the hinge 16, this connection being obtained by end caps 18 and 19.
  • end pieces 18 and 19 comprise an axial passage 20 of polygonal section and, for example, square, which receives freely sliding the torsion bar 17 of corresponding section. Due to this arrangement, the end pieces 18, 19 can slide axially on the torsion bar while being immobilized in rotation on the bar.
  • a housing 21 provided with a lateral slot 22, this housing 21 being arranged in the extension of the passage 20 of the torsion bar 17.
  • the shape and dimensions of the housing 21 and slot 22 are determined so that they can fit on the node of one of the elements of a hinge.
  • the end piece is immobilized on the hinge element by the hinge of the fixed 153 or mobile 163 element which passes through the slot 22 of the end piece considered.
  • This arrangement therefore allows simple and rapid mounting of the torsion bar on a door because the end pieces 18 sliding axially on the torsion bar are immobilized in rotation on this bar by the passages 20 and are also immobilized in rotation on an element. fixed or movable of a hinge by the slot 22 and its housing 21.
  • a tube 23 split along one of its generatrices, may also be arranged around the torsion bar between the end pieces 18 and 19 and, in this case, the end piece 18 adjacent to the upper hinge 15 will be provided at its base with a circular bearing 181 capable of being housed inside the tube 23 and of centering it on the torsion bar 17.
  • the end lower of the tube 23 is also held coaxially with the torsion bar 17 by a washer 24 provided with a central orifice whose shape corresponds to the section of the bar 17, the outside diameter of this bar corresponding to the inside diameter of the tube 23.
