Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinge fitting, in particular a corner support for a door, window or the like, comprising a fixed support attached to the sleeping frame and on which is mounted an axis intended to be engaged in a socket equipping a mobile support fixed on the opening of said door, window or the like.
  • the present invention will find its application in the field of building hardware and relates, in particular, to hinge fittings for door, window or the like.
  • such a corner support comprises a fixed support made integral with the sleeping frame and which, therefore, can borrow different embodiments, for example depending on the materials, PVC, aluminum or wood, constituting said door, window or the like. .
  • On this fixed support is mounted an axis, this by means of suitable connecting means.
  • these connecting means are, in fact, under form of ball joint means.
  • the axis is then provided, at its lower end, with a spherical head which is received in a ball joint cage which forms part of the fixed support.
  • the socket corresponding to the movable support integral with the opening, is able to pivot around the axis, the tilting is linked to this mounting, using a ball joint, of said axis on its support fixed.
  • this type of hinge fitting further comprises a number of adjustment means making it possible to adjust the positioning of the opening element relative to its sleeping frame.
  • some of these adjustment means act in the plane of the door, window or the like, and / or in a perpendicular direction having the function, in the latter case, of modifying the compression force of the opening against the sleeping frame. when closing the door, window or the like.
  • a corner support more particularly intended for tilt-and-turn windows, comprising a fixed support attached to the frame and on which a pivoting pin is mounted.
  • This is defined by either a rod or a screw on which is engaged a sleeve having an eccentric bore.
  • This assembly is intended to be engaged in the bore of a socket fitted to a mobile support attached to the opening.
  • the document AT-372.483 also describes a corner support more particularly intended for tilt-and-turn window openings, this angle support comprising a fixed support equipped with a ball joint on which an axis is pivotally mounted. eccentric relative to the axis of the patella. On this axis is ultimately engaged a socket corresponding to a mobile support attached to the sash. Consequently, by ensuring the rotation of the axis on its ball joint, the position of the leaf is modified relative to the frame, this in a direction parallel and perpendicular to the plane of the latter. It is true that it is planned, here, to mount the fixed support in an adjustable manner on the sleeping frame, more particularly in a direction parallel to the plane of the latter.
  • the objective sought by the present invention consists, finally, in facilitating this adjustment of the positioning of an opening relative to its sleeping frame, by offering the possibility of acting, as the case may be, in compression or in a direction parallel to the plane of the door, window or the like or in both directions at the same time, this while making the design of the corner support simpler.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims solves the problem and consists of a hinge fitting, in particular a corner support, for door, window or the like, comprising a fixed support attached to the frame and on which is mounted a pin intended to be engaged in a socket equipping a mobile support fixed on the opening of said door, window or the like, the axis being pivotally mounted, by means of an eccentric, on the fixed support and that, in combination , the socket corresponding to the mobile support is lined by means of a sleeve comprising an eccentric bore for the reception of the axis of the fixed support.
  • the advantages resulting from the present invention consist essentially in that the angle support, while offering the user the possibility of adjusting the opening, both in compression and in the plane of the sleeping frame, proves to be '' a particularly simplified design.
  • the user can act, if necessary, simultaneously on the means for gripping the sleeve and those of the axis by means of two different tools.
  • the invention gives an easy, rapid and continuous adjustment of the opening relative to the sleeping frame.
  • FIG. 1 shows a window 1 which could moreover be a door, French window or the like, the opening leaf 2 of which is mounted, in particular, pivoting on a sleeping frame 3.
  • the present invention relates, more particularly, to a hinge fitting 4, in particular the corner support of such a window 1 or the like, ensuring the articulated connection opening 2 opening intended to pivot, in this case around a vertical axis, on the frame 3.
  • a corner support for a tilt-and-turn door or window is more particularly described below.
  • this articulation fitting 4 represented in FIGS. 2 to 11 comprises a fixed support 5 which is provided with fixing means 6 intended to ensure its connection to the sleeping frame 3.
  • fixing means 6 intended to ensure its connection to the sleeping frame 3.
  • On this fixed support 5 is made an axis 7 which materializes, ultimately, the pivot axis of the opening 2 relative to the frame 3.
  • This axis 7 is pivotally mounted with an eccentric 8 on this fixed support 5, knowing, in this regard, that, according to the embodiment shown in the figures, the actual connection between this axis 7 and this support fixed 5 is obtained by means of articulation means 9 in the form of a ball joint allowing, in addition, the tilting of the leaf 2 relative to the frame 3 around an axis perpendicular to the axis 7.
  • articulation means 9 in the form of a ball joint are defined by a spherical head 10 formed at the lower end 11 of the axis 7 and intended to be inserted in a ball joint cage 12 secured to the fixed support. 5 and having a hemispherical housing 13.
  • the eccentric 8 to which reference was made above is defined, precisely, by these articulation means 9 in the form of a ball joint, more particularly by the spherical head 10 which is eccentric with respect to the axis 7.
  • the axis 7 comprises gripping means 14 allowing it to be rotated to adjust the position of the opening 2 relative to the frame 3 in a direction perpendicular and / or parallel to the latter.
  • these gripping means 14 may be in the form of a slot for receiving a screwdriver or in the form of a hexagon hole 14A for receiving a suitable key, provided at the free end 7A of this axis 7.
  • these gripping means 14 can take the form of a crown 14B surmounting the spherical head 10 and authorizing the grip by means of a tool, more particularly a wrench , to control the pivoting of the axis 7 around an eccentric axis 15 passing through the center of the spherical head 10.
  • this axis 7 is engaged in a socket 16 fitted to a movable support 17 completing the articulation fitting 4 and which is attached using suitable fastening means 18, on the leaf 2, l '' we understand that by acting on said gripping means 14 to pivot the eccentric axis 7, we just change, gradually and continuously, the pressure according to which the opening 2 is applied against the frame 3 during closing window 1, as well as adjusting the position of the opening 2 relative to the frame 3 in a direction parallel to the plane of the latter.
  • a sleeve 20 coming to line, internally, the sleeve 16 and comprising a bore 21 with an offset axis 22 for receiving the axis 7 of the fixed support 5.
  • the bore 21 has a diameter 23 adjusted to the section of this axis 7.
  • this sleeve 20 is, here again, equipped with gripping means 24 allowing it to be controlled in rotation, whence results, finally, a modification of the position of the leaf 2 relative to the frame 3, both in a perpendicular direction that parallel to the plane of the latter.
  • the amplitude of the possible adjustments is dependent on the eccentric position, on the one hand, of the axis 7 relative to the spherical head 10 and, on the other hand, of the bore 21 in the sleeve 20 relative to the axis of the bore of the sleeve 16.
  • the gripping means 24 can, here again, be in the form of a crown defined at one end of the sleeve 20, located outside the sleeve 16, on this crown being capable of acting the user by means a suitable tool, such as a wrench.
  • the crown corresponding to the sleeve 20 can be fitted at the end 26 of the latter, oriented in the direction of the articulation means 9 so that it comes to be superimposed on said ring 14B of the axis 7.
  • the axis 7 is mounted, at only one of its ends, on the fixed support 5, for example using articulation means such as a ball joint, we can imagine designing the bore 21 in the form of a blind hole arranged in the end 26 of the sleeve 20, while at the opposite end 26A the latter comprises gripping means 24 in the form of either a slot for the reception of a screwdriver or a hexagon hole 25 in which can be engaged a suitable key to rotate the sleeve 20. It is obvious, under these conditions, that the gripping means 14 corresponding to the axis 7 are defined, preferably, by a ring 14B as visible, precisely, in FIGS. 6 to 11.
  • the sleeve 20 can be defined in any material, in particular in synthetic material, it will be observed, however, that the choice of this material can take account of particular considerations such as the coefficient of friction of this sleeve 20 in the bore of the sleeve 16 corresponding to the movable support 17. It is in fact advisable to provide means for immobilizing in rotation, as the case may be, the sleeve 20 inside the sleeve 16 or, on the contrary, allow free rotation between them while immobilizing, using means 27 provided for this purpose, the sleeve 20 on the axis 7.
  • said immobilization means 27 are in the form of a clamping member 28, such as a screw, passing through a threaded orifice 29 formed in the wall of the sleeve 20 so as to come to cooperate with the axis 7 engaged in the bore 21 of this sleeve 20.
  • a clamping member 28 such as a screw
  • said axis 7 engaged in the bore 21 of this sleeve 20.
  • it comprises at its end 26 through which this axis 7 is introduced, an annular flange 30 defining a shoulder 31 coming to bear on the end edge of the sleeve 16.
  • this rim 30 is formed said tapped orifice 29 for the reception of the clamping member 28, so that it is, at all times, accessible to the fitter to proceed to the desired setting.
  • the present invention makes it possible to respond advantageously to the problem posed insofar as it allows a simplified design of the articulation fitting 4 while also facilitating, adjustment of the sash 2 relative to the frame 3.
