Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinge assembly, provided with a plug hinge, allowing the pivoting around an axis, generally vertical, of an opening vis-à-vis a frame or another opening and more particularly applies to such a hinge adapted to be mounted on hollow or tubular profiles, forming part of a metal carpentry.
  • a plug hinge comprising two complementary cylindrical bodies, respectively fixed on the opening and the frame of a structure to be articulated mutually with respect to each other, for example of the type of a door, window or the like, these bodies being arranged one above the other with a lateral offset such that they have, in the same vertical extension, two cylindrical elements receiving a plug or hinge pin around which pivots the opening vis-à-vis the frame.
  • Each body also comprises, secured to the cylindrical element, a fixing lug which is usually pierced with holes for the mounting of screws which apply and immobilize the body with respect to the surface of the corresponding leaf or frame.
  • the present invention relates to a hinge which avoids this drawback, by preventing that, once put in place and connecting the opening and the frame, it can be disassembled in an unauthorized manner, in particular when the opening is closed on the frame, the fixing means used being accessible only from the inside of the clearance or flap between the opening and the frame.
  • the articulation assembly considered, for a structure in tubular metal profiles, comprising a hinge formed by two complementary bodies, respectively fixed on an opening (3) and on a frame or another opening to articulate each other one with respect to the other, these bodies each comprising a cylindrical element receiving a hinge pin about which the opening pivots with respect to the frame or the other opening, each body further comprising a fixing lug against the surface of the corresponding leaf or frame, each fixing lug being applied against the surface of a tubular profile of the leaf or frame and comprising at least one tapped blind housing, the latter receiving the threaded body of a stud passing through a passage provided in this surface and engaging in a receiving bore formed in an insert, mounted by sliding inside the tubular profile, is characterized in that each of the fixing lugs comprises two superposed threaded blind housings, respectively receiving a stud, the two studs each having at least one inclined face, intended to cooperate with the tip of a needle screw extending perpendicular to the direction of these studs in their bores of
  • each tubular profile of the opening or of the frame has an internal region of section compatible with the insert piece, the face of which faces the clearance or flap between the opening and the frame has a hole for the passage of the locking needle screw.
  • the insert part has longitudinal extensions folded back so as to form a bearing zone cooperating with slides provided in the profile receiving this part.
  • one of the cylindrical elements of a body receives an internal jacket in which the articulation axis journals, the cylindrical element of the other body also receiving a jacket but disposed in a housing slightly eccentric relative to the axis so as to allow to adjust the alignment of the two shirts and the verticality of the passage receiving a connecting rod between the two bodies.
  • At least one of the sleeves is associated with a headless screw mounted in a tapped hole in the cylindrical element receiving this sleeve and allowing it to be locked in position around the axis.
  • the hinge considered designated as a whole under the reference 1, is provided to produce the mutual articulation of a frame 2 and an opening 3 of a door or the like, each constituted by means of a hollow metal profile, of a type known per se and the detail of which is not directly relevant to the invention.
  • the frame 2 is immobilized by any conventional means (not shown) vis-à-vis a wall 4 or a similar support structure, while the opening 3 supports in the example shown a glass panel 5, mounted in the corresponding profile with the interposition of a seal 6 and a positioning wedge 7.
  • a hinge of this kind comprises two complementary bodies, respectively 8 and 9, intended to be fixed one on the leaf, the other on the frame , the two bodies being articulated mutually and in the extension of one another around a plug or hinge pin 10.
  • the body 8 consists of a cylindrical element 11 inside which the hinge pin 10 engages, this element being extended by a support tab 12, capable of coming to bear against a lateral face of the metal profile constituting the frame 2, immobilizing the body against this face in the manner described below.
  • the body 9 comprises a cylindrical element 13 disposed in the extension of the element 11 and also receiving the axis 10, this element 13 likewise comprising a support and immobilization tab 14 against the profile of opening it 3.
  • each tab comprises, facing the corresponding profile, a blind housing 15, internally threaded, this housing thus being invisible from the outside of the hinge when the latter is fixed to the opening and the frame.
  • each part 16 has extensions or lateral edges 16a, suitably folded outwards so as to allow the part to be guided inside the profile, in particular along ribs 17a provided in region 17 and forming longitudinal slides. .
  • Each part 16 has two transverse bores 18 and 19 superimposed respectively, each intended to receive a stud 20 or 21 as shown more particularly in the exploded perspective view of Figure 3.
  • Each of these studs has a threaded body 22 and an inclined face 23 terminated by an extension 24 preferably provided with a groove 24a, making it possible to control the rotation of the stud in its receiving bore so that its threaded body 22 comes to cooperate with the threaded hole 15 formed in the support tabs and immobilization 12 and 14 of the bodies 8 and 9, thus joining them together with the studs and consequently with the part 16 which supports them.
  • the studs 20 and 21 are then themselves blocked in their receiving bores 18 and 19 by means of a transverse needle screw 25, mounted in a through hole 25a provided in the face of each profile directed towards the clearance or flap 39 provided between the opening and the frame, this screw 25 comprising a pointed end 26 and a threaded middle part 27, capable of being screwed into a threaded passage 28 passing through the part 16, communicating with the bores 18 and 19 of the latter.
  • this screw 25 engages its tip 26 in contact with the inclined faces 23 of the studs 20 and 21, by achieving their progressive blocking and their immobilization with respect to the part 16.
  • the hinge comprises a cylindrical jacket 29, suitable for engaging in the housing of the same profile 30 provided in the element 11 of the part 8, this jacket comprising at one of its ends a stop collar 31.
  • the jacket 29 has a slightly eccentric axis with respect to that of the housing 30 and is designed to receive a cylindrical connecting rod 32.
  • the cylindrical element 13 of the part 8 in turn cooperates with a second jacket 33 , mounted in a housing 34 of the cylindrical element, this second jacket itself having a housing 35 receiving the end of the rod 32 but whose axis is exactly aligned with that of the housing 34.
  • the jacket 33 has externally a rib 36 able to cooperate with a groove 37 provided in this housing 34.
  • the second jacket 33 is immobilized in the housing 34 by its rib 36.
  • the axis of the connecting rod 32 is in these conditions fixed in position.
  • a rotation on itself of the jacket 29 in its housing 30 results in an axial offset of the part 8, allowing a suitable final adjustment of the two parts of the lid.
  • the jacket 29 is locked in position by a headless screw 38 screwed into a tapped hole in the cylindrical element 11.
  • a hinge is thus produced which is particularly well suited for mounting on hollow profiles of a metal joinery to articulate together an opening and a frame.
  • the locking member in position of the two parts of the hinge, constituted by a transverse needle screw is placed in the door beat or the like, that is to say in an inaccessible place when the leaf is applied to the sleeping.
  • the hinge therefore has no weak point outside the tubular structure of the door.
  • the absence of external connection means makes it possible to refine its outline and better integrate it into an appropriate functional unit.
