Abstract

The hinge consists of a mobile section (1) attached to the edge of the opening panel (2) and turning about a pivot (4) in relation to a fixed plate (3). The mobile section of the hinge incorporates a spring-loaded roller (12) which engages with notches (13a,b,c) in a block (13) fastened to the fixed hinge plate by a tongue (15) fitted into an adjustable strip (16) at the back of the plate. The engagement of the roller with the notches enables the door to be set stably in opened and closed positions. The roller is made from metal, and the adjustment of the plate allows the effort required to move the door between positions to be varied.

Description

L'invention est relative à une charnière pour porte ou panneau, notamment pour panneau en verre, du type comportant une paumelle de panneau articulée à rotation autour d'un axe sur une platine de fixation à une surface plane tel qu'un mur.The invention relates to a hinge for a door or panel, in particular for a glass panel, of the type comprising a panel hinge articulated in rotation about an axis on a plate for fixing to a flat surface such as a wall.

On connaît des charnières de ce type, dont la paumelle de panneau porte un galet de blocage précontraint élastiquement contre un pavé d'indexage entourant ledit axe de rotation.Hinges of this type are known, the panel hinge of which carries an elastically prestressed locking roller against an indexing block surrounding said axis of rotation.

Le document EP 0.599.254 A1 décrit une charnière pour porte battante en verre, comportant d'une part, une platine de fixation et d'autre part, une paumelle s'articulant autour d'un axe sur ladite platine de fixation. Ladite paumelle de panneau comporte un galet de blocage monté sur une douille soumise à la poussée d'un ressort précontraint, de manière à s'engager élastiquement dans un évidement d'une pièce sensiblement cylindrique coaxiale audit axe de rotation. Une bille est pressée par une vis de serrage à pointe conique contre ladite pièce sensiblement cylindrique en vue du réglage angulaire de ladite pièce sensiblement cylindrique et de la porte ou panneau en verre porté par la paumelle de panneau.Document EP 0.599.254 A1 describes a hinge for a glass swing door, comprising on the one hand a fixing plate and on the other hand a hinge hinging about an axis on said fixing plate. Said panel hinge comprises a locking roller mounted on a bushing subjected to the thrust of a prestressed spring, so as to engage elastically in a recess of a substantially cylindrical part coaxial with said axis of rotation. A ball is pressed by a conical point clamping screw against said substantially cylindrical part for the angular adjustment of said substantially cylindrical part and of the glass door or panel carried by the panel hinge.

Ce dispositif connu présente plusieurs inconvénients : d'une part, le diamètre important du ressort unique de précontrainte appliquant le galet de blocage dans l'évidement conduit à augmenter l'épaisseur de la paumelle de panneau, ce qui est inesthétique et couteux; d'autre part, le réglage angulaire de la position d'arrêt par pression d'une bille contre la pièce sensiblement cylindrique est inefficace et crée des empreintes inesthétiques interdisant une bonne précision et un réglage fin de la position angulaire du panneau par rapport au mur.This known device has several drawbacks: on the one hand, the large diameter of the single prestressing spring applying the locking roller in the recess leads to increasing the thickness of the panel hinge, which is unattractive and expensive; on the other hand, the angular adjustment of the stop position by pressing a ball against the substantially cylindrical part is ineffective and creates unsightly imprints preventing good precision and fine adjustment of the angular position of the panel relative to the wall .

L'inconvénient résultant du diamètre important du gros ressort unique conduisant à une surépaisseur des paumelles de battants ou de portes en verre n'est pas présent dans les charnières pour portes de douches commercialisées depuis 1989 sous l'appellation MARINE par la société de droit français STREMLER, déposant de la présente demande. Ces charnières pour portes de douches de type connu comportent en effet chacune un galet de blocage monté sur la partie médiane d'un axe mobile dont les deux extrémités sont soumises à la poussée de ressorts précontraints. Ainsi, il suffit de prévoir deux ressorts de diamètre plus faible pour obtenir une énergie élastique équivalente à celle du gros ressort unique prévu dans le document EP 599.254 A 1.The drawback resulting from the large diameter of the large single spring leading to an excess thickness of the hinges for doors or glass doors are not present in the hinges for shower doors marketed since 1989 under the name MARINE by the French company STREMLER, filing this application. These hinges for shower doors of known type each indeed have a locking roller mounted on the middle part of a movable axis, the two ends of which are subjected to the thrust of preloaded springs. Thus, it suffices to provide two springs of smaller diameter to obtain an elastic energy equivalent to that of the large single spring provided in document EP 599.254 A 1.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique connue, en créant une nouvelle charnière pour porte ou panneau avec une paumelle d'épaisseur réduite et un moyen de réglage angulaire permettant des réglages précis avec une bonne efficacité d'immobilisation.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the known state of the art, by creating a new hinge for a door or panel with a hinge of reduced thickness and an angular adjustment means allowing precise adjustments with good efficiency. immobilization.

L'invention a pour objet une charnière pour porte ou panneau, notamment pour panneau en verre, du type comportant une paumelle de panneau articulée à rotation autour d'un axe sur une platine de fixation ; ladite paumelle de panneau portant un galet de blocage précontraint élastiquement contre un pavé d'indexage entourant ledit axe de rotation, caractérisé en ce que ledit pavé d'indexage comporte un tenon déplaçable sous l'action d'une plaquette réglable en translation et immobilisable par serrage sur un plan.The subject of the invention is a hinge for a door or panel, in particular for a glass panel, of the type comprising a panel hinge articulated in rotation about an axis on a fixing plate; said panel hinge carrying an elastically prestressed blocking roller against an indexing block surrounding said axis of rotation, characterized in that said indexing block comprises a pin movable under the action of a plate adjustable in translation and immobilizable by clamping on a plane.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :According to other characteristics of the invention:

Ledit tenon est engagé dans un logement solidaire de la plaquette.Said post is engaged in a housing integral with the plate.

Ladite plaquette est disposée au dos de la platine de fixation et immobilisable au moyen d'une vis accessible par l'avant de la platine de fixation.Said plate is disposed on the back of the fixing plate and immobilizable by means of a screw accessible from the front of the fixing plate.

Ladite plaquette est contenue dans un évidement de la platine de fixation et immobilisable par serrage sur le fond de l'évidement.Said plate is contained in a recess of the fixing plate and immobilizable by clamping on the bottom of the recess.

Ladite plaquette est immobilisable par un moyen de serrage coulissant à travers une lumière allongée pratiquée dans la platine de fixation.Said plate can be immobilized by a clamping means sliding through an elongated opening made in the fixing plate.

Le galet de blocage est en matériau résilient et le pavé d'indexage en matériau métallique.The locking roller is made of resilient material and the indexing block of metallic material.

Le galet de blocage est monté sur la partie médiane d'un axe mobile dont les deux extrémités sont soumises chacune à la poussée de deux ressorts précontraints.The locking roller is mounted on the middle part of a movable axis, the two ends of which are each subjected to the thrust of two pre-stressed springs.

Le pavé d'indexage comporte deux butées de réglage angulaire.The indexing block has two angular adjustment stops.

Les deux butées de réglage angulaire sont disposées de part et d'autre du tenon déplaçable.The two angular adjustment stops are arranged on either side of the movable tenon.

Chaque butée de réglage angulaire est apte à venir en appui contre la platine de fixation.Each angular adjustment stop is capable of coming to bear against the fixing plate.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description qui va suivre donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood thanks to the description which follows given by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawings in which:

La figure 1 représente schématiquement une vue en élévation avec coupe partielle d'une charnière selon l'invention dans la position correspondant au repliement d'un panneau en verre contre le mur.Figure 1 schematically shows an elevational view with partial section of a hinge according to the invention in the position corresponding to the folding of a glass panel against the wall.

La figure 2 représente schématiquement une vue en coupe selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1 d'une charnière selon l'invention.Figure 2 schematically shows a sectional view along line II-II of Figure 1 of a hinge according to the invention.

La figure 3 représente schématiquement une vue arrière selon la flèche III de la figure 2 d'une charnière selon l'invention détachée du mur ou de la surface de fixation analogue et dans une position de paumelle perpendiculaire à la platine de fixation.FIG. 3 schematically represents a rear view according to arrow III in FIG. 2 of a hinge according to the invention detached from the wall or from the similar fixing surface and in a hinge position perpendicular to the fixing plate.

La figure 4 représente une vue en coupe selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 3 d'une charnière selon l'invention illustrant le réglage angulaire de la charnière. En référence aux figures 1 et 2, une charnière selon l'invention comporte une paumelle 1 de panneau 2 en verre articulée à rotation sur une platine 3 de fixation autour d'un axe 4 schématisé par son trait d'axe. La paumelle 1 portant le panneau en verre 2 comporte une plaque 5 de maintien assujettie par deux vis 6a, 6b au corps 7 de la paumelle 1. Le corps 7 de la paumelle 1 comporte un bloc 8 dans lequel sont pratiqués deux logements ou alésages 9a, 9b aptes à recevoir des ressorts hélicoïdaux précontraints 10a, 10b. Les ressorts précontraints 10a, 10b poussent sur les deux extrémités d'un axe 11 au milieu duquel est monté un galet de blocage 12.4 shows a sectional view along line IV-IV of Figure 3 of a hinge according to the invention illustrating the angular adjustment of the hinge. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a hinge according to the invention comprises a hinge 1 of panel 2 made of glass hinged to rotate on a plate 3 for fixing about an axis 4 shown diagrammatically by its axis line. The hinge 1 carrying the glass panel 2 comprises a retaining plate 5 secured by two screws 6a, 6b to the body 7 of the hinge 1. The body 7 of the hinge 1 comprises a block 8 in which are formed two housings or bores 9a , 9b able to receive prestressed helical springs 10a, 10b. The preloaded springs 10a, 10b push on the two ends of an axis 11 in the middle of which a locking roller 12 is mounted.

Le galet de blocage 12 est ainsi précontraint élastiquement contre un pavé d'indexage 13 entourant l'axe de rotation 4 et comportant des évidements cylindriques 13a, 13b, 13c. Dans la position représentée en traits pleins aux figures 1 et 2, le galet 12 en matériau résilient, par exemple en polyamide, est engagé dans l'évidement 13a a du pavé d'indexage 13 en matériau métallique, par exemple en laiton : cette position correspond à un repliement du panneau ou porte en verre 2 contre le mur M ou surface analogue sur laquelle est fixée la platine 3 de fixation au moyen de vis engagés à travers les orifices 14 a, 14b. Chaque évidement cylindrique 13a à 13c définit une position stable du panneau ou porte en verre 2, soit une position parallèle (13c) ou repliée (13a) contre le mur, soit une position de paumelle 1 perpendiculaire (13b) à la platine de fixation 3. Le passage de l'une à l'autre position se fait par rotation dans le sens des flèches R autour de l'axe de rotation 4 par application d'un couple apte à vaincre les forces exercées par les ressorts 10a, 10b.The locking roller 12 is thus elastically prestressed against an indexing block 13 surrounding the axis of rotation 4 and comprising cylindrical recesses 13a, 13b, 13c. In the position shown in solid lines in FIGS. 1 and 2, the roller 12 made of a resilient material, for example made of polyamide, is engaged in the recess 13a a of the indexing block 13 made of metallic material, for example brass: this position corresponds to a folding of the panel or glass door 2 against the wall M or similar surface on which is fixed the fixing plate 3 by means of screws engaged through the orifices 14a, 14b. Each cylindrical recess 13a to 13c defines a stable position of the panel or glass door 2, either a parallel (13c) or folded (13a) position against the wall, or a hinge position 1 perpendicular (13b) to the fixing plate 3 The passage from one to the other position is done by rotation in the direction of the arrows R around the axis of rotation 4 by application of a torque capable of overcoming the forces exerted by the springs 10a, 10b.

Selon l'invention, le pavé d'indexage 13 comporte un tenon 15 déplaçable sous l'action d'une plaquette 16 réglable en translation et immobilisable par serrage d'une vis 17 appliquant la plaquette 16 sur un plan 18.According to the invention, the indexing block 13 comprises a tenon 15 movable under the action of a plate 16 adjustable in translation and immobilizable by tightening a screw 17 applying the plate 16 on a plane 18.

De préférence, le tenon 15 est engagé dans un logement 19 solidaire de la plaquette 16, et la plaquette 16 est disposée au dos de la platine 3 de fixation, tandis que la vis 17 est disposée sur l'avant de la platine 3 de fixation, de manière à être facilement accessible pour effectuer le réglage angulaire du pavé 13 d'indexage.Preferably, the pin 15 is engaged in a housing 19 integral with the plate 16, and the plate 16 is disposed on the back of the fixing plate 3, while the screw 17 is arranged on the front of the fixing plate 3 , so as to be easily accessible for carrying out the angular adjustment of the indexing block 13.

Avantageusement, la plaquette 16 est contenue dans un évidement 20 pratiqué dans le corps de la platine 3 de fixation et serrée sur le fond 18 de cet évidement 20 lors du serrage de la vis 17.Advantageously, the plate 16 is contained in a recess 20 formed in the body of the fixing plate 3 and tightened on the bottom 18 of this recess 20 during the tightening of the screw 17.

La vis 17 est de préférence montée coulissante le long d'une lumière allongée 21 pratiquée à travers la platine 3 de fixation, et une rondelle 22 est prévue sous la tête de la vis 17, à la fois pour répartir les forces de serrage et pour recouvrir la lumière 21.The screw 17 is preferably slidably mounted along an elongated opening 21 made through the fixing plate 3, and a washer 22 is provided under the head of the screw 17, both for distributing the tightening forces and for cover the light 21.

En référence aux figures 3 et 4, dans lesquelles les éléments de repères identiques désignent des éléments identiques ou fonctionnellement équivalents à ceux des figures 1 et 2, la charnière selon l'invention est représentée en position de paumelle perpendiculaire à la platine de fixation, correspondant à la position représentée en traits pointillés sur la figure 2.With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, in which the identical reference elements designate elements that are identical or functionally equivalent to those of FIGS. 1 and 2, the hinge according to the invention is shown in the hinge position perpendicular to the fixing plate, corresponding at the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 2.

La mise en oeuvre de l'invention est illustrée sur la figure 4 : après avoir fixé la platine 3 sur un mur M ou surface analogue, on desserre la vis 17 pour régler la porte ou battant en verre 2 dans la position désirée, par exemple perpendiculaire au mur, en laissant coulisser la vis 17 de manière à déplacer la plaquette 16 dans le sens de la flèche T. Le déplacement en translation de la plaquette 16 provoque le déplacement du tenon 15 du pavé 13 selon une translation T identique.The implementation of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 4: after having fixed the plate 3 on a wall M or similar surface, the screw 17 is loosened to adjust the glass door or leaf 2 to the desired position, for example perpendicular to the wall, allowing the screw 17 to slide so as to move the plate 16 in the direction of the arrow T. The movement in translation of the plate 16 causes the tenon 15 of the block 13 to move in an identical translation T.

Du fait que le tenon 15 pénètre avec un jeu faible dans le logement 19 de la plaquette 16, une translation T de l'ordre du dixième de millimètre produit un déplacement angulaire très faible et très précis du pavé d'indexage 13 autour de l'axe 4. La plage de réglage angulaire est de l'ordre de plusieurs degrés et est définie par deux butées 23, 24 disposées de part et d'autre du tenon déplaçable 15.Because the tenon 15 penetrates with a small clearance in the housing 19 of the plate 16, a translation T of the order of a tenth of a millimeter produces a very small and very precise angular displacement of the indexing block 13 around the axis 4. The angular adjustment range is the order of several degrees and is defined by two stops 23, 24 arranged on either side of the movable pin 15.

Dans chaque position extrême, chaque butée 23 ou 24 définie par usinage d'un épaulement sur le pavé 13 d'indexage vient en appui sur la platine de fixation 3.In each extreme position, each stop 23 or 24 defined by machining a shoulder on the indexing block 13 comes to bear on the fixing plate 3.

En outre, le serrage de la vis 17 applique la plaquette 16 sur le plan 18 du fond de l'évidement 20 et assure ainsi au moyen d'un blocage plan sur plan une immobilisation ferme et reproductible de la plaquette 16 et par conséquent du pavé d'indexage 13.In addition, the tightening of the screw 17 applies the plate 16 on the plane 18 of the bottom of the recess 20 and thus ensures by means of a plane locking on the plan a firm and reproducible immobilization of the plate 16 and consequently of the block indexing 13.

En outre, du fait que le serrage s'effectue sur le plan 18, aucune empreinte n'est formée au contact de la plaquette 16 et du plan 18, ce qui permet d'affiner le réglage en agissant sur l'extrémité du panneau si cela est souhaitable.In addition, due to the fact that the tightening takes place on the plane 18, no imprint is formed in contact with the plate 16 and the plane 18, which makes it possible to refine the adjustment by acting on the end of the panel if this is desirable.

Cette amélioration du réglage n'était pas possible avec le système de pression par bille de l'art antérieur, du fait que la cuvette formée par l'empreinte de la bille ne permettait plus de réglage fin au voisinage de cette empreinte.This improvement in adjustment was not possible with the ball pressure system of the prior art, because the bowl formed by the impression of the ball no longer allowed fine adjustment in the vicinity of this impression.

L'accessibilité de la vis 17 coulissant dans la lumière allongée 21 permet un réglage facile et rapide, tandis que le recouvrement de la lumière 21 par la rondelle 22 de diamètre supérieur à la longueur de la lumière 21 donne un aspect esthétique à la charnière selon l'invention et empêche l'introduction d'impuretés ou de corps durs dans la lumière de guidage 21.The accessibility of the screw 17 sliding in the elongated opening 21 allows easy and rapid adjustment, while the covering of the opening 21 by the washer 22 of diameter greater than the length of the opening 21 gives an aesthetic appearance to the hinge according to the invention and prevents the introduction of impurities or hard bodies into the guide lumen 21.

Avantageusement, le tenon 15, la plaquette 16 et l'évidement 20 sont obtenus par fraisage de formes rectangulaires ajustées respectivement l'une à l'autre pour obtenir un coulissement doux avec un jeu faible du tenon 15 dans le logement 19 de la plaquette 16 et de la plaquette 16 dans l'évidement 20 de la platine de fixation 3. L'épaisseur de la plaquette 16 est de préférence inférieure à la profondeur de l'évidement 20, de manière que la plaquette soit entièrement contenue dans l'évidement 20 et ne frotte pas contre le mur M lors de la fixation de la platine 3 au mur M.Advantageously, the pin 15, the plate 16 and the recess 20 are obtained by milling rectangular shapes adjusted respectively to each other to obtain a smooth sliding with a small clearance of the pin 15 in the housing 19 of the plate 16 and of the plate 16 in the recess 20 of the fixing plate 3. The thickness of the plate 16 is preferably less than the depth of the recess 20, so that the plate is entirely contained in the recess 20 and does not rub against the wall M when fixing the plate 3 to the wall M.

L'invention décrite en référence à un mode de réalisation particulier n'y est nullement limitée mais couvre au contraire toute modification de forme et toute variante de réalisation de l'invention, dans lesquelles l'immobilisation du moyen de réglage angulaire est obtenue par un serrage plan sur plan assurant une immobilisation fiable et un réglage fin de grande précision.The invention described with reference to a particular embodiment is in no way limited thereto, but on the contrary covers any modification of shape and any variant embodiment of the invention, in which the immobilization of the angular adjustment means is obtained by a plane-on-plane tightening ensuring reliable immobilization and fine adjustment with high precision.
