Abstract

The hinge (100) for doors, windows or the like comprises a frame hinge part (10) and a leaf/sash hinge part (20). The invention provides a covering strip (50, 50') which extends along the gap (26) between the hinge parts (10, 20) and covers over said gap. The covering strip (50, 50') engages over one of the hinge parts (10, 20) with one longitudinal border abutting on the outside, such that said hinge part can be shifted vertically with respect to the covering strip (50, 50'), has a width which corresponds at least to the adjustment travel of the hinge parts (10, 20) with respect to one another, and is connected to the other hinge part (20, 10) along the other longitudinal border. <IMAGE>

Description

The invention relates to a volume of the preamble of claim 1 corresponding Art.

A two-part volume of this type is from AT-A 324 156 known. The height of the wing can be increased by one Adjusted screw element in the form of a grub screw which are in a coaxial to the hinge pin axis Threaded hole is arranged in the frame hinge part and at their rotation the band sleeve receiving the hinge pin and thus raises the wing hinge part lying on it.

Depending on the set height of the wing between the frame hinge part and the sash hinge part a gap of different sizes. This gap is falling eye to eye because the adjacent faces and edges are dense lie close together and differences clearly in this way can be perceived. This is particularly the case with three-part or hinge straps can be determined because the Gaps above and below the wing hinge part different can be great. This is the case, for example the volume according to DE-U-90 06 439, in which the column through horizontally insertable between the belt parts Spacers should be closed. These spacers are not easy to stop and recognizable as such from the outside.

The invention has for its object a tape the generic type so that different Height settings of the wing are not visible to the naked eye attract more attention.

This object is represented by that in claim 1 Invention solved.

The cover strip hides the neighboring ones Areas of the frame hinge part and the sash hinge part below itself, so that the edges facing each other no longer are visible and not visible to the naked eye Scale for the set height of the wing more can deliver. Of course, the height of the wing hinge part objectively over the frame hinge part depending on the adjustment made another thing by a Measurement can be easily determined. It lacks but immediately adjacent reference edges. The lower one Limitation of the frame hinge part and the upper limit of the wing hinge part form quite far apart Reference points, the relative position of which is hardly visible to the naked eye is detected.

The cover strip is designed as a collar that on outer edge of an overlying the top of the frame hinge part Ring part one arranged in the frame band part Hinge pin bush sits.

The hinge pin bush is therefore designed as a kind of hat, which overlaps the frame hinge part with the brim. The ring part formed by the brim transmits the forces introduced by the wing hinge part on the Frame hinge part. The ring part goes radially (with respect to the Hinge pin) to the area of the outer edge of the Band parts, and there it is the one that forms the cover strip One-piece collar.

Because the hinge pin bushing is made of a suitable plastic exists and is subject to a corresponding molding process, the collar can be easily molded will.

A collar with a height-adjustable band Gap between the wing hinge part and the frame hinge part is able to bridge, goes out on its own FR-A 474 190. This is, however not a hinge with a hinge pin bushing. Rather is the hinge pin is stored directly in the hinge parts and has an annular projection in the middle, the an opening in the bottom of a pot-shaped intermediate layer reaches through, the edge of which faces down and the cover forms. The wing hinge part lies on the floor from above the liner.

The invention is for both two-part and for three-part tapes, i.e. so-called hinge straps, suitable (Claim 2).

When lifting the wing hinge part with hinge hinges by lifting the lower hinge pin bushing and the lower cover strip is connected to this follows the lower cover strip of the movement of the wing hinge part when adjusting itself.

However, it is recommended for the top cover strip a special tracking device according to claim 3 to a Open the gap at the lower edge of the top cover strip to avoid when lowering the upper hinge pin bushing doesn't come along.

It is recommended that the facility at the with the Cover strip attacks connected upper hinge pin bushing (Claim 4).

A simple embodiment is a spring that the upper hinge pin bushing constantly depressed (claim 5).

According to claim 6, however, the movement of the cover strip also coupled to the movement of the hinge pin who moves with the adjustment stroke.

This can in particular be reproduced in claim 7 Way to be realized.

In the latter case, it is advisable to send the two to the two transition points between the frame hinge part and the Parts of the hinge band existing cover strips To form a mirror image of each other (claim 8).

It may be advantageous to use the outside of the cover strip to give a profiling that a special close to the outside of the frame hinge part or also include a decorative relief-like design can (claim 9).

If in the following description of "above", "below", "vertical" and the like is mentioned, so refers such an indication always on the installation position of the belt.

That designated as a whole by 100 in FIGS. 1 to 4 Band is a so-called hinge band, which one on the Front surface 38 of the fixed frame 1, which in the Figures dash-dotted only indicated, attached Frame band part 10 and a on the front surface 39 of the Wing 2 attached wing hinge part 20, which around a hinge axis 9 formed by a hinge pin 8 (FIG. 4) are pivotable against each other.

The frame hinge part is by screws 3 and fixing pins 4 attached to the frame 1, the wing hinge part 20 through Screws 5 and fixing pins 6 on the wing 2. The frame 2 and the wing 1 does not meet directly, but usually form a fold with a so-called shadow groove 7 on the visible side.

The frame hinge part 10 comprises a lower hinge part 11 and an upper hinge part 12, between which the Hinge part 13 of the wing hinge part 20 engages. Of the Hinge pin 8 extends vertically through the hinge parts 11, 12, 13.

The wing hinge part 20 is in the hinge band part 10 height adjustable by a certain distance in the direction of arrow 14 arranged to adjust the position of the wing in the frame to be able to. When changing the height, the Column 26 between the upper limit 15 and the hinge part 11 and the lower limit 16 of the hinge part 13 and the upper limit 17 of the hinge part 13 and the lower limit 18 of the hinge part 12 (s. Fig. 2).

To hide this change and in particular different column 26 between the limits 15, 16 or 17.18 not to be noticed are the columns between the borders 15, 16 and 17, 18 by cover strips 50 covers that in the embodiment with the one edge 51 on the horizontal planes upper and lower limits 16, 17 of the wing hinge part 20 and move up and down with it.

The training in detail is shown in Fig. 4. Of the Hinge pin 8 sits in each of the hinge parts 11, 12 in a hinge pin bushing 30, which in turn in a corresponding Recess 19 of the hinge parts 11, 12 added is.

The recess is in the lower region of the hinge part 11 19 formed as a threaded bore 21 into which a nut-like screw element 22 can be screwed in, which by engaging in a hexagon socket 23 Turning tool is rotatable. When screwed in, it lifts according to Fig. 4 lower hinge pin 30 to the wing hinge part 20. This leads to the adjustment. The lower hinge pin bushing 30 points to the upper, according to FIG. 4, the lower Limitation 16 of the wing hinge part 20 facing an edge radially outwardly projecting ring part 24, which ends with the upper end of the hinge pin bushing 30. The extends from the outer edge of the ring part 24 Cover strip 50 from its abutting the wing hinge Edge 51 in the form of a collar 25 parallel to the hinge pin axis 9 against the main part of the hinge pin bush 30 (see. also Fig. 5). So it is one against the ring part 24th remote end of the hinge pin bushing 30 open circumferential Groove 28 formed, the edge of the hinge part 11th or 12 picks up such that an axial movement of the parts 30 and 11, 12 against each other is possible. The collar is 25 thin-walled, since it only has an optical function and does not have to transfer forces. It is only supposed to the gap 26 cover. The cover strip 50 is in any case Area of its facing the main part of the hinge pin bushing 30 Edge 52 (Fig. 5) on the outside of the hinge part 11 of the frame hinge part 10, i.e. he is in his Floor plan corresponding to the floor plan of the hinge part 11 shaped, as can be seen from Fig. 6, where this floor plan is roughly square with slightly convex rounded sides. The cover strip 50 and the collar 25 are shown in FIG. 5 and 6 only on the visible sides, on the back 27 but not.

In the upper hinge part 12 of the frame hinge part 10 the same hinge pin bushing 30 is provided, which only vice versa, i.e. to the horizontal central plane 39 of the volume 100 is arranged in mirror image and in which the Collars 25 forming cover strips 50 'from the ring part 24 extends upwards. Otherwise the function is the same.

The lower hinge pin bushing 30 is removed from the screw element 22 taken away and is always due to the lower boundary surface 16 of the wing hinge part 20. At the upper hinge part 12 is in the embodiment 4 one through one in the recess 19 of the hinge part 12 pressed cover plate 29 under tension set, in Fig. 4 only indicated by dash-dotted helical compression spring 31 available, which the hinge pin bushing 30 or the cover strip 50 'in contact with the upper boundary surface 17 of the wing hinge part 20 holds.

Another embodiment of a device that the upper cover strip 50 'even when the wing hinge part is lowered 20 in contact with the upper boundary surface 17 of the wing hinge part 20 is shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, in which of the hinge pin bushing 30 of FIG. 5 and 6 is used. As can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6 results, the hinge pin bushing 30 has on the collar 25 adjacent end six evenly distributed over the circumference, incisions 40 going to a certain depth, through the six segments of equal size in the circumferential direction 41,42 are divided, alternating in the circumferential direction successive. Behind the segments 42 are likewise deeply extending recesses 43 arranged so that the Form segments 42 all around free-standing axial tongues on the free side on the side facing the hinge pin End up against the inside of the hinge pin bushing 30 a little have radially projecting hook-like projections 44. Thanks to the elasticity of the tongue-like segments 42 can it by the radial extension of the projections 44 to the rear are pressed against the recess 43.

This property is the lower one in FIG Hinge pin bushing is used, in which the projection 44 is pushed away from the hinge pin 8, the tongue-like Segment 42 evades into the recess 43.

With the upper hinge pin bushing 30, however, the hinge pin has 8 an all-round groove 45 in which the projection 44 engage can, if the hinge pin bushing 30 on the upper edge 46 of the eccentric bushing 47 seated in the wing hinge part 20 or the lower edge of the upper cover strip 50 'on the abut the upper boundary surface 17 of the wing hinge part 20. The projection 44 hooks in this position in the Rundumnut 45, so that the hinge pin 30 at the Adjustment occurring up and down movements taken becomes.

Fig. 7 pulls a two-part band 200, which with a hinge pin bushing 30 according to the in 1 to 6 hinge strap 100 shown is designed.

The dimensioning the width of the cover 50.50 'is such that it is at least that for the Lowering or lifting the wing hinge part 20 opposite the frame band part 10 available strokes corresponds. This naturally also applies to the band 100 of FIGS. 1 to 6.

The cover strips 50, 50 'consist of the material of the hinge pin bushing 30, i.e. from a suitable Plastic. The visible one outer surface of the cover strips 50, 50 'can be profiled or wear a relief, which in the design of the outer appearance of the tapes 100,200 are included.
