Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Scharnierbeschlag für Duschkabinentüren, dessen eines Beschlagteil zwei mit Abstand und koaxial angeordneten Scharnierhülsen und dessen anderes Beschlagteil eine zwischen den beiden koaxialen Scharnierhülsen eingreifende Scharnierhülse aufweist, wobei die beiden Beschlagteile lösbar durch einen in die miteinander fluchtenden Scharnierhülsen einsetztbaren Scharnierbolzen verbindbar sind und der Abstand der beiden koaxialen Scharnierhülsen größer ist als die Länge der zwischen ihnen eingesetzten Scharnierhülse.The invention relates to a hinge fitting for shower cabin doors, one fitting part of which has two spaced and coaxially arranged hinge sleeves and the other fitting part of which has a hinge sleeve which engages between the two coaxial hinge sleeves, the two fitting parts being releasably connectable by means of a hinge bolt which can be inserted into the aligned hinge sleeves and which The distance between the two coaxial hinge sleeves is greater than the length of the hinge sleeve inserted between them.

Ein Scharnierbeschlag der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung ist bekannt (EP 0 277 513). Bei der bekannten Ausführung ist im Abstandszwischenraum zwischen benachbarten Scharnierhülsen eine den Scharnierbolzen umgebende Schraubenfeder angeordnet, deren beide Enden jeweils an einem anderen Beschlagteil festgelegt sind. Dementsprechend kann eine mit dem Scharnierbeschlag gehaltene Duschkabinetür gegen Federwirkung geöffnet werden. Sie schließt selbsttätig unter Federwirkung. Häufig ist es erwünscht, die Duschkabinentür in einer vorbestimmten Schwenkstellung offen oder geschlossen zu halten.A hinge fitting of the type described above is known (EP 0 277 513). In the known embodiment, a helical spring surrounding the hinge pin is arranged in the space between adjacent hinge sleeves, the two ends of which are each fixed to a different fitting part. Accordingly, a shower cabinet door held with the hinge fitting can be opened against spring action. It closes automatically under spring action. It is often desirable to keep the shower cabin door open or closed in a predetermined pivot position.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Scharnierbeschlag der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung so zu verbessern, daß durch Umrüsten die Tür einerseits frei bewegt und andererseits in bestimmten Schwenkstellungen arretiert werden kann.The object of the invention is to improve a hinge fitting of the type described above so that the door can be moved freely on the one hand by retooling and on the other hand can be locked in certain pivot positions.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß wenigstens eine der koaxialen Scharnierhülsen des einen Beschlagteils eine radiale Durchgangsbohrung aufweist, daß die Scharnierhülse des anderen Beschlagteils an zumindest einer Stirnseite eine Auskerbung aufweist, und daß der Scharnierbolzen im Abstandszwischenraum zwischen benachbarten Scharnierhülsen eine radiale Bohrung für einen darin einzusetzenden Arretierstift aufweist, wobei wenigstens eine im Bereich des Abstandszwischenraums auf den Scharnierbolzen aufsetzbaren Unterlegscheibe vorgesehen ist. Dieser Scharnierbeschlag kann zunächst wie ein üblicher Scharnierbeschlag für eine frei schwenkbare Duschkabinentür eingesetzt werden, wobei es aus optischen Gründen empfehlenswert ist, wenn zwei Unterlegscheiben eingesetzt werden, deren achsiale Länge jeweils der halben Länge des Abstandszwischenraumes entspricht. Jede Unterlegscheibe wird dann zwischen benachbarten Scharnierhülsen auf den Scharnierbolzen aufgesetzt.This object is achieved in that at least one of the coaxial hinge sleeves of one fitting part has a radial through-hole, that the hinge sleeve of the other fitting part has a notch on at least one end face, and that the hinge pin in the space between adjacent hinge sleeves has a radial hole for an insert to be inserted therein Has locking pin, at least one washer is provided in the area of the space between the hinge pin. This hinge fitting can initially be used like a conventional hinge fitting for a freely pivoting shower cubicle door, for optical reasons it is advisable to use two washers, the axial length of which corresponds to half the length of the space between them. Each washer is then placed on the hinge pin between adjacent hinge sleeves.

Soll der Scharnierbeschlag umgerüstet werden, dann werden zunächst die Unterlegscheiben entfernt und wird in die Bohrung des Scharnierbolzens, die vorzugsweise eine durchgehende Bohrung ist, der Arretierstift eingesetzt. Der Scharnierbolzen mit dem Arretierstift wird soweit gedreht, daß der Arretierstift in eine Auskerbung an der Stirnseite der mittleren Scharnierhülse fällt. Dann wird die Duschkabinentür in eine Position geschwenkt, in der sie arretiert werden soll. Anschließend wird mit einem Bohrer durch die radiale Durchgangsbohrung der einen koaxialen Scharnierhülse oder die radialen Durchgangsbohrungen beider koaxialen Scharnierhülsen in den Scharnierbolzen gebohrt und werden in die miteinander fluchtenden Bohrungen Paßstifte eingesetzt. Über diese Paßstifte ist nunmehr der Scharnierbolzen drehfest mit einer oder mit beiden koaxialen Scharnierhülsen verbunden. Beim Verschwenken der Duschkabinentür wird der Arretierstift unter gleichzeitigem Anheben der Duschkabinentür aus der Auskerbung herausgehoben. Wenn die Duschkabinentür ihre Arretierstellung erreicht, fällt der Arretierstift unter dem Gewicht der Duschkabinentür in die Auskerbung.If the hinge fitting is to be converted, the washers are first removed and the locking pin is inserted into the hole in the hinge pin, which is preferably a through hole. The hinge pin with the locking pin is turned so far that the locking pin falls into a notch on the face of the middle hinge sleeve. Then the shower cabin door is pivoted into a position in which it locks shall be. Then a drill is drilled through the radial through-hole of one coaxial hinge sleeve or the radial through-holes of both coaxial hinge sleeves into the hinge pin and dowel pins are inserted into the holes that are aligned with one another. The hinge pin is now non-rotatably connected to one or to both coaxial hinge sleeves via these dowel pins. When pivoting the shower cabin door, the locking pin is lifted out of the notch while lifting the shower cabin door. When the shower cabin door reaches its locking position, the locking pin falls into the notch under the weight of the shower cabin door.

Aus optischen Gründen kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn auch im umgerüsteten Zustand eine Unterlegscheibe verwendet wird, die einen radialen Schlitz zur teilweisen Aufnahme des in die Bohrung des Scharnierbolzens eingesetzten Arretierstiftes aufweist. Der Abstandszwischenraum zwischen benachbarten Scharnierhülsen ist dann geringer.For optical reasons, it may be expedient if a washer is also used in the retrofitted state, which has a radial slot for partially receiving the locking pin inserted into the bore of the hinge pin. The distance between the adjacent hinge sleeves is then smaller.

Im folgenden wird ein in der Zeichnung dargestelltes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung erläutert; es zeigen:

In the following an embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing is explained; show it:
Fig. 1
a hinge fitting in the delivery condition,
Fig. 2
the object of FIG. 1 in the converted state.

Der in der Zeichnung dargestellte Scharnierbeschlag besteht aus zwei Beschlagteilen 1 bzw. 2. Das Beschlagteil 1 wird z. B. an einer Wand oder an einem Rahmen der Duschkabine befestigt. Das Beschlagteil 2 wird an einer Glastür der Duschkabinen befestigt.The hinge fitting shown in the drawing consists of two fitting parts 1 and 2. The fitting part 1 is z. B. on a wall or on a frame of the shower cubicle attached. The fitting part 2 is attached to a glass door of the shower cubicles.

Zum Beschlagteil 2 gehören zwei mit Abstand und koaxial angeordnete Scharnierhülsen 3, 4. Zum Beschlagteil 1 gehört eine Scharnierhülse 5, die zwischen den beiden koaxialen Scharnierhülsen 3, 4 eingreift. Beide Beschlagteile sind durch einen Scharnierbolzen 6, der in die miteinander fluchtenden Scharnierhülsen 3, 4, 5 eingesetzt ist, verbunden. Der Scharnierbolzen 6 bildet eine Scharnierachse, um die die Glastür relativ zur Wand bzw. zum Rahmen verschwenkbar ist. Der Scharnierbolzen 6 ist lösbar, er weist an seinem einen Stirnende einen Ringflansch 7 und an seinem anderen Stirnende eine Gewindebohrung für eine darin eindrehbare Schraube 8 auf. Der Ringflansch 7 und der Kopf der Schraube 8 bilden Widerlager für die koaxialen Scharnierhülsen 3, 4.The fitting part 2 includes two hinge sleeves 3, 4 arranged at a distance and coaxially. The fitting part 1 includes a hinge sleeve 5 which engages between the two coaxial hinge sleeves 3, 4. Both fittings are connected by a hinge pin 6 which is inserted into the hinge sleeves 3, 4, 5, which are aligned with one another. The hinge pin 6 forms a hinge axis about which the glass door can be pivoted relative to the wall or to the frame. The hinge pin 6 is detachable, it has an annular flange 7 at one end and a threaded bore for a screw 8 which can be screwed in at its other end. The ring flange 7 and the head of the screw 8 form abutments for the coaxial hinge sleeves 3, 4.

Die beiden äußeren koaxialen Scharnierhülsen 3, 4 besitzen einen gegenseitigen Abstand, der größer ist als die Länge der mittleren Scharnierhülse 5. Der Abstandszwischenraum zwischen den benachbarten Scharnierhülsen 3, 5 bzw. 4, 5 wird bei der in Fig. 1 wiedergegebenen Funktionsstellung von Unterlegscheiben 9 ausgefüllt, die auf den Scharnierbolzen 6 aufgeschoben sind und deren achsiale Länge etwa der halben achsialen Länge des Abstandszwischenraumes entspricht.The two outer coaxial hinge sleeves 3, 4 have a mutual distance which is greater than the length of the middle hinge sleeve 5. The spacing between the adjacent hinge sleeves 3, 5 and 4, 5 is in the functional position of washers 9 shown in FIG. 1 filled out, which are pushed onto the hinge pin 6 and whose axial length corresponds to approximately half the axial length of the spacing.

Die mittlere Scharnierhülse 5 weist an beiden Stirnseiten jeweils eine Auskerbung 10 auf, die über Rundungen 11 in die jeweiligen Stirnseiten der mittleren Scharnierhülse 5 übergehen. Die beiden äußeren koaxialen Scharnierhülsen 3, 4 weisen jeweils radiale Durchgangsbohrungen 12 auf. Der Scharnierbolzen 6 weist im Bereich des Abstandszwischenraumes eine radiale Durchgangsbohrung 13 auf. Eine Duschkabinentür, die an dem insoweit beschriebenen und in Fig. 1 dargestellten Scharnierbeschlag befestigt ist, kann frei schwenken.The middle hinge sleeve 5 has a notch 10 on each of the two end faces, which merge into the respective end faces of the middle hinge sleeve 5 via curves 11. The two outer coaxial hinge sleeves 3, 4 each have radial through bores 12. The hinge pin 6 has a radial through hole 13 in the area of the spacing. A shower cabin door, which is fastened to the hinge fitting described so far and shown in FIG. 1, can pivot freely.

Soll die Duschkabinentür in einer bestimmten Schwenkstellung arretiert werden, dann wird zunächst der Scharnierbolzen 6 gelöst und werden die Unterlegscheiben 9 entfernt. In die Durchgangsbohrung 13 des Scharnierbolzens wird ein Arretierstift 14 gesteckt, der zusammen mit dem Scharnierbolzen 6 soweit gedreht wird, bis er in die zugeordnete Auskerbung 10 an der Stirnseite der mittleren Scharnierhülse 5 fällt. Dann wird die Duschkabinentür mit dem Beschlagteil 2 in eine Schwenkstellung gebracht, in der sie zukünftig arretierbar sein soll. Mit einem Bohrwerkzeug werden durch die Durchgangsbohrungen 12 der koaxialen Scharnierhülsen 3, 4 radiale Löcher in den Scharnierbolzen 6 gebohrt. Darin werden Paßstifte eingesetzt, so daß der Scharnierbolzen 6 drehfest mit den Scharnierhülsen 3, 4 verbunden ist.If the shower cabin door is to be locked in a certain swivel position, the hinge pin 6 is first loosened and the washers 9 are removed. A locking pin 14 is inserted into the through hole 13 of the hinge pin, which is rotated together with the hinge pin 6 until it falls into the associated notch 10 on the end face of the middle hinge sleeve 5. Then the shower cabin door with the fitting part 2 is brought into a swivel position in which it should be lockable in the future. With a drilling tool, radial holes are drilled in the hinge pin 6 through the through bores 12 of the coaxial hinge sleeves 3, 4. Dowel pins are used therein so that the hinge pin 6 is connected to the hinge sleeves 3, 4 in a rotationally fixed manner.

Wird die Duschkabinentür nunmehr verschwenkt, dann nimmt sie auch den Scharnierbolzen 6 und den Arretierstiften 14 mit. In der in Fig. 2 wiedergegebenen Funktionsstellung liegt der Arrtierstift 14 auf der Stirnseite der mittleren Scharnierhülse 5 auf. Die Duschkabinentür kann frei verschwenkt werden. Gelangt jedoch der Arretierstift 14 in den Bereich der Auskerbung 10, dann fällt er unter dem Gewicht der Duschkabinentür in diese Auskerbung 10 und die Duschkabinentür ist arretiert.If the shower cabin door is now pivoted, it also takes the hinge pin 6 and the locking pins 14 with it. In the functional position shown in FIG. 2, the locking pin 14 rests on the end face of the middle hinge sleeve 5. The shower cabin door can be pivoted freely. However, if the locking pin 14 reaches the area of the notch 10, then it falls into the notch 10 under the weight of the shower cabin door and the shower cabin door is locked.

Durch die beiden Auskerbungen 10 an beiden Stirnseiten der mittleren Scharnierhülse 5 sowie die Möglichkeit, den Scharnierbolzen 6 umgekehrt einzusetzen, können die Scharnierbeschläge für den Anschlag "links" und "rechts" eingesetzt werden.Due to the two notches 10 on both end faces of the middle hinge sleeve 5 and the possibility of using the hinge pin 6 the other way round, the hinge fittings can be used for the stop "left" and "right".

Nicht dargestellt ist, daß im Bereich des Arretierstiftes 14 eine Unterlegscheibe zwischen die benachbarten Scharnierhülsen 3, 5 gelegt werden kann, die einen radialen Schlitz zur teilweisen Aufnahme des Arretierstiftes aufweist und deren achsiale Länge so bemessen ist, daß der Arretierstift wie beschrieben in die Auskerbung 10 einfallen kann. Durch diese zusätzliche Unterlegscheibe wird der sichtbare Abstandszwischenraum zwischen den benachbarten Scharnierhülsen verkleinert.It is not shown that in the area of the locking pin 14 a washer can be placed between the adjacent hinge sleeves 3, 5, which has a radial slot for partially receiving the locking pin and the axial length of which is dimensioned such that the locking pin as described in the notch 10 can come up with. This additional washer reduces the visible space between the adjacent hinge sleeves.
