Definitions

  • the present invention is in the sphere of window and door frames, more specifically, the particular type of shutter or door that is suitable for separating rooms, such as shower compartments, which have liquids lying on the floor, so, when closed, they must exert a certain sealing pressure on elastic sealing elements which are placed in the floor at the point of contact with these to prevent these liquids from leaking out and spreading into the adjacent rooms.
  • the shutter is supported by hinges formed by two members hinged with each other and placed one above the other, one resting on the other, with contact surfaces on the members themselves.
  • the aim of the inventor of the present idea has been to provide a shower compartment comprising a revolving shutter which lifts vertically to a sufficient extent to eliminate contact, and consequently wear, with the seal below, as soon as it begins to rotate, thus considerably prolonging the life of the seal and making it easier to open and close the shutter.
  • Patent EP-A-386 342 discloses a shutter whereby the lower hinge has a shape similar to that of the present invention, but that is aimed to solve a different problem, i.e. blocking the shutter at a wished position by lowering it at the end of its rotation, whereas the purpose of the present application is to disclose a hinge that causes a prefixed vertical lifting of the shutter during its rotation sufficient to eliminate contact with the seal below.
  • the inventor has developed a shower compartment provided with a shutter which is fitted with a new type of hinge, which enables the shutter to lift as soon as the opening rotating begins, and to then reposition itself, exercising the desired pressure on the seal below, when its returning rotation is completed and it is closed.
  • the object of the invention is in fact a shower compartment as defined by the preamble of appended claim 1 characterized by the characterizing portion of this latter.
  • the shutters is a shower compartment as in the invention, depending on their weight and the dimensions of the hinges, may be fitted with a single hinge or, in the most common case, with two or more hinges, with two of which positioned at the two extremities, upper and lower, as in fact usually occurs already with the revolving shutters and doors in use today.
  • the supporting surface 4a of the lower member 4 has one or more appropriately shaped concave parts 4b (two in the example shown), while the supporting surface 3a of upper member 3 has the same number (one is not visible in the drawing) of shaped protruding parts 3b which substantially match those of 4b, and these concave 4b and protruding 3b parts are positioned in such a way that, with shutter 1 in closed position, each protruding part 3b is contained in one of the concave parts 4b.
  • the protruding parts 3b then run on the remaining flat part of the supporting surface 4a of the lower member 4 without varying the position of shutter 1 vertically as the rotation continues.
  • a particularly favourable ratio between the measurement of vertical lift of the shutter and the angle of rotation of this is 0.1 mm per 4° of rotation approximately, with a maximum lift of 0.7 mm per 30° of rotation approximately, but other scalings are possible without any particular repercussions on operating.
  • the closing or opening movement of the shutter may be carried out by making it revolve, depending on requirements and on its position, in either of the two directions of rotation, as the shutter itself, during the course of a 180° rotation, makes two distinct lifting and repositioning runs in geometrically specular positions.
  • the materials preferred for making the hinges are aluminium for the upper and lower members proper, and one of the numerous self-lubricating synthetic materials for the organs 3' and 4' of which the surfaces have the concave parts 4b and protruding parts 3b.
  • Fig. 2 For the second hinge 6, which is usually situated at the highest part of shutter 1, the inventor proposes using a variety (Fig. 2) in which both the hinge pin 11 and other parts 12 have shapes and lengths suitable to enable member 8 joined to shutter 1 to shift vertically to an extent equal to the height "h" of maximum vertical lift of the shutter itself during the course of its rotation.
