Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinge with adjusting devices, in which a hinge arm can be fastened to a base plate by means of at least one intermediate piece and the like or by means of an articulated lever. is connected to a second hinge stop part, for example a hinge cup, the hinge arm having holes through which adjusting and / or fastening screws protrude, and the intermediate piece can be suspended in the base plate and locked by means of a rocker arm rotatably mounted on the intermediate piece, the intermediate piece U -shaped and with two side webs the base plate laterally.
  • a hinge is known from EP-A-0 225 609.
  • the hinge arm is fastened to the base plate by means of a clamping screw, this clamping screw generally protruding through an elongated hole, in order to make it possible to adjust the hinge arm in the depth of the furniture.
  • DE-A-30 26 796 and 30 39 328 show hinges with a hinge arm and a fastening plate, in which, by inserting the hinge arm into a guide of the fastening plate and moving the same in the longitudinal direction, the two parts to be locked snap together.
  • a similar anchoring of a hinge arm on a base plate is shown in DE-A-24 60 127.
  • DE-A-32 41 284 shows a hinge in which the hinge arm can be inserted into lateral guides of a base plate and clamped on the base plate by means of an eccentric.
  • the hinge arm anchors described above have the advantage that the hinge arm can be very quickly fixed on the base plate when assembling the piece of furniture and that no tools are required for assembly. This advantage should not be underestimated, since the door leaf must be held when the hinge arms are attached. If, for example, the door leaf is held with one hand and the hinge arm to be put on with the other, then in many cases, if the hinge arm is locked by means of a clamping screw, a second person is required to tighten the clamping screw with a screwdriver.
  • the object of the invention is to improve such a hinge to the extent that there is no play between the intermediate piece and the base plate.
  • both side webs of the intermediate piece rest against the base plate without play or with under-tolerance, so that the intermediate piece must be pressed onto the base plate and that at least one of the side webs is provided with a material weakening at at least one point.
  • This embodiment of the invention makes it possible to measure the distance between the two legs of the intermediate piece very narrowly.
  • the weakening of the material prevents the occurrence of excessive pressing forces when the intermediate piece is pressed onto the base plate with a clamping effect.
  • the material weakening is formed by a slot.
  • the slot extends in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate piece and is arranged in the vicinity of the rocker arm.
  • the seat of the intermediate piece according to the invention on the base plate is achieved in a further embodiment in that the intermediate piece, which is suspended in the notch of the base plate with a transverse pin, comprises the base plate with its two side legs without play and that the generators or the longitudinal central axes of the notch and the cross pin are unstressed at a flat angle of preferably 1 ° to each other, so that the twistable intermediate piece is held under internal stress on the base plate.
  • the design according to the invention makes it possible to achieve a tension between the intermediate piece and the base plate, which is a result of a twisting of the intermediate piece.
  • FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a hinge according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through a hinge arm and a base plate in the position during the hanging of the hinge arm
  • Fig. 3 shows a side view of the base plate
  • Fig. 4 shows a plan view on the intermediate piece
  • FIG. 5 shows a side view of the intermediate piece
  • FIG. 6 shows a section along the line II of FIG. 5
  • FIG. 7 shows an end view of the base plate.
  • the parts of the hinge essential to the invention are the hinge arm 1, the base gap 2 and the intermediate piece 3 with the rocker arm 4.
  • the hinge arm 1 is fastened to the intermediate piece 3 by means of a joint adjustment screw 6, which is supported in a nut thread in the hinge arm 1, and by means of a clamping screw 5, which also serves for the depth adjustment.
  • the clamping screw 5 protrudes through a longitudinal slot 8 in the hinge arm 1 and also the joint adjusting screw 6 is held with its head 6 'in a longitudinal slot 9 in the intermediate piece 3.
  • the hinge arm 1 can be moved over the length of the slot 8 and thus adjusted in the depth of the furniture.
  • the adjustment in the direction of the furniture door is carried out in a conventional manner by turning the joint adjustment screw 6.
  • Both the base plate 2 and the intermediate piece 3 are designed with a U-profile.
  • the intermediate piece 3 is provided with a continuous pin 10, which serves as a holding projection of the intermediate piece 3.
  • the base plate 2 has a notch 11 in the front, into which the pin 10 can be hung, so that it is held on the base plate 2.
  • the base plate 2 is also provided with a notch 12.
  • the rocker arm 4 is supported at the rear end of the hinge arm 3 by means of a pin 13.
  • the hook part 15 is formed on the rocker arm 4.
  • the rocker arm 4 is acted upon by a spring 7 which is supported at one end on the hinge arm 1.
  • the spring 7 is a leg spring.
  • the hinge arm 1 with the intermediate piece 3 is pressed onto the base plate 2 from the position shown in FIG. 2, the hook part 15 of the rocker arm 4 engages in the notch 12 and the hinge arm 1 is anchored on the base plate 2.
  • a handle part 4 ' is formed on the tilt part 4. If the hinge arm 1 to be released from the base plate 2, it is sufficient to raise this grip part 4 ', whereupon the retaining projection 15 disengages from the notch 12 and the hinge arm 1 with the intermediate piece 3 can be lifted off the base plate 2.
  • the intermediate piece 3 is provided with a cross pin 16 which engages in a notch 17 in the base plate 2. The positioning of the intermediate piece 3 and thus of the hinge arm 1 takes place between the pin 10 and the pin 16.
  • the rocker arm 4 only has to prevent the hinge arm 1 from being lifted off the base plate 2 in the direction of arrow A. This means that only minimal forces have to be absorbed. The stronger forces that act in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate piece 3 are absorbed by the positive connection between the pin 16 and the notch 17.
  • the clear width designated by X in FIG. 5 between the two side legs 3 'of the intermediate piece 3 with respect to the width B of the base plate 2 is to be measured very closely or there is a slight under-tolerance, so that the intermediate piece 3 on the base plate 2 must be pressed and a side force component acting on the side legs 3 'occurs.
  • the invention provides that one of the two side legs 3 'of the intermediate piece 3 is provided with a longitudinal slot 20.
  • the longitudinal slot 20 extends in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate piece 3 and is provided at the rear end of the intermediate piece 3, ie in the vicinity of the rocker arm 4.
  • the generators lie or the longitudinal central axis of the notch 11 is at an angle to the pin 10.
  • the angle of inclination is very small, in the exemplary embodiment 1 °.
  • the intermediate piece 3 must, when it is placed on the base plate 2, be twistable to a small extent so that it can include the base plate 2 with its side legs 3 '.
  • the twist which is caused by the theoretical angle between the notch 11 and the pin 10, generates a tension that guarantees an absolutely secure fit of the intermediate piece 3 on the base plate 2.
