Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinge for connecting two panel-shaped elements, comprising two hinge parts pivotable with respect to each other and which each at one side are provided with a projection and recess, respectively, for cooperation with the other hinge part and which at the opposite side are provided with a receiving opening for an edge of a panel-shaped element.
  • hinges of this type are applied in collapsible roller shutters for protecting shop-premises.
  • the hinge parts ensure the collapsability of the roller shutter around the central axis. In the collapsed position of the roller shutter the hinge parts generally enclose an angle, whereas in the extended position the hinge parts generally are aligned.
  • roller shutter In the extended position it often appears, that the roller shutter provides a certain degree of movability; often, for example under influence of wind, this movability goes along with disturbing noises.
  • the hinge according to the invention is characterised in that at its one side one of said hinge parts is provided with an extension which in an extreme hinge position may engage a side face of the panel-shaped element that is received in the other hinge part.
  • the extension may be dimensioned such that the hinge is optimally adapted to collapsing the roller shutter; then said extension in the collapsed position also provides a support for a hinge of the adjacent winding layer.
  • the extension is dimensioned such that it will engage the panel-shaped element without contacting the other hinge part.
  • the advantage is obtained that the engagement of the extension with the panel-shaped element is guaranteed, also in case of small dimensional defects (as a result of fabrication or as a result of assembling).
  • the extension already engages the other hinge part before contacting the panel-shaped element. If this would be the case the engagement between the extension and the other hinge part would obstruct a continued pivoting of the hinge parts relative to each other, such that the extension would not engage the panel shaped element.
  • the extension is part of the hinge part that is provided with the recess.
  • this embodiment offers constructive advantages, it should not be excluded that the extension may be part of the hinge part that is provided with the projection.
  • extension is an oppositely directed continuation of one of the legs of the hinge part.
  • the position of the hinge according to the invention illustrated in fig. 1 corresponds with the position of the hinges in a collapsed position of the roller shutter in correspondence with fig. 4.
  • the illustrated hinge comprises a first hinge part 1 and a second hinge part 2 connected thereto. At one of its sides the first hinge part 1 is provided with a projection 3 which, in order to pivotably interconnect the hinge parts 1 and 2, cooperates with a recess 4 at one side of the second hinge part 2.
  • the first hinge part 1 is provided with two legs 5 and 6 between which a receiving opening 7 is defined for receiving the edge of a panel-shaped element 8.
  • the manner in which both legs 5 and 6 cooperate with a panel-shaped element 8 is known per se and thus does not need any further explanation.
  • the second hinge part 2 comprises at its side facing away from the recess 4 two legs 9 and 10 and therebetween a receiving opening 11 for receiving a panel-shaped element 12.
  • the shape of the projection 3, the recess 4 and the legs 5, 6 and 9, 10, respectively, may be varied in many ways. This also applies to the configuration of the remaining parts of the hinge parts 1 and 2.
  • the first hinge part 1 comprises a lip 13 shaped on the projection 3 which, in the position of the hinge illustrated in fig. 3, may cooperate with a slot 14 defined in the other hinge part 2 for locking the hinge parts.
  • the second hinge part 2 At its side facing away from the legs 9 and 10 the second hinge part 2 comprises an extension 15.
  • this extension is an oppositely directed continuation of leg 9.
  • the extension 15 engages with its free end a side face of the panel-shaped element 8 received in hinge part 1.
  • the extension is dimensioned such, that it may engage the panel shaped element 8 without touching the hinge part 1, especially its leg 5. Consequently the extension 15 defines an obstruction for uncontrolled movements of the panel-shaped element 8 (together with the first hinge part 1) relative to the panel-shaped element 12 (together with the second hinge part 2).
  • a roller shutter provided with hinges according to the invention will rattle, for example under influence of wind, and will create undesired noises.
  • the roller shutter which is illustrated in a largely collapsed position in fig. 4, is provided with a large amount of panel-shaped elements 16 which are interconnected by means of hinges according to the invention. From this figure it appears that in the collapsed position of such a roller shutter the extension 15 provides an additional function. As appears, such an extension 15 supports both hinge parts 1 and 2 of a hinge of an adjacent winding layer. Through dimensioning the extension 15 in an appropriate manner it is possible like this to obtain an extremely controlled and stabilised winding of the roller shutter onto a central axis 17.
