Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety hinge, as set forth in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the hinge pin is axially locked with respect to the guideway formed by the second hinge part of a three-knuckle hinge by means of a locking screw screwed into the pin through a hole formed in said guideway.
  • the locking screw For removal of the pin, the locking screw must be disengaged from the pin, which may therefore be retracted from the bearing through the open end thereof after removal of a closing screw inserted in said open end.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a hinge of a simple design in which the hinge pin is effectively secured against removal in the closed position of the leaf or sash part without the use of securing screws or similar additional securing elements, so that safety against burglary is always provided in this position.
  • the pin can only be removed in the open position of the leaf or sash part by insertion of a tool for engagement with the pin through the said side opening.
  • the closed end of the bearing prevents removal of the pin by axial impact, for example by means of a punch, and as the pin does not project from the open end of the bearing there is no possibility of removal by means of nippers or the like. Due to the absence of a securing screw or similar additional securing elements there is no risk of oversights in connection with the mounting leading to lack of securing of the hinge.
  • the hinge parts and the pin can be made of materials of the necessary strength and corrosion resistance, such as iron alloys, bronze alloys or light metal alloys, if necessary with a corrosion-resistant coating. Synthetic materials of the required strength can also be used.
  • the hinge can be manufactured by conventional processes comprising, for example, punching or bending of plate-shaped material or casting or forging.
  • the safety hinge according to the invention has three knuckles and comprises a first hinge part 1 for fastening on a frame 4, such as a window frame, a second hinge part 2 for fastening on the opening sash part 5 of the window and a hinge pin 9.
  • the hinge parts 1 and 2 each has a fastening part 3 and 3a, respectively, in the form of a conventional plate element with holes for screws or other retaining elements for secure fastening of the hinge parts 1 and 2 to the frame 4 and the sash part 5, respectively.
  • the fastening part 3 for the hinge part 1 is formed as a plate angle, a so-called angle brace, which makes it more difficult to remove the hinge part 1 once it has been mounted on the frame 4.
  • the hinge part 1 is formed with first and second tubular hinge knuckles 6 and 7 forming together a common first guideway and leaving an interspace for positioning of a third tubular hinge knuckle providing a second guideway 8 pertaining to the second hinge part 2.
  • the guideways 6-7 and 8 form together a tubular bearing for reception of a hinge pin 9 and provision of the assembled hinge.
  • axial retention of the pin 9 in the bearing is secured solely by press fitting of the pin into the guideway 6, as the inner surface of the guideway 6 and the part of the pin 9 intended for insertion therein may, for example, be slightly conical as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the bearing formed by the guideways 6-7 and 8 has a continuous external surface.
  • the first guideway 6-7 connected with the hinge part 1 is closed at one end so that the pin 9 is inaccessible through the said end. This renders it impossible to remove the pin 9 by axial impact, for example with a punch, from this closed end.
  • the first guideway is open for providing an open end of the assembled bearing for removal of the pin 9.
  • the length of the pin 9 is shorter than the total length of the bearing formed by the guideways 6-7 and 8, and as shown in Fig. 3 the pin 9 is inserted in the bearing in the axial direction to have its end positioned at a distance from the closed end of the bearing so that the other end of the pin does not project from the open end of the bearing, which renders it impossible to remove the pin from the said end, for example by means of nippers or similar tools, in the closed position of the window.
  • the pin 9 In the closed position of the window, in which the hinge parts 1 and 2 are folded together as shown in dashed lines in Fig. 2, the pin 9 thus presents no points of attack accessible from the outside and it thereby secured against unauthorized removal from the bearing.
  • an opening 11 is positioned on the side 10 of the first guideway 6 on the first hinge part 1, which is inaccessible in the closed position of the sash part 5, but which is accessible from the outside in the open position, the said opening being positioned in the axial direction on a level with the end surface 15 of the pin 9 inserted in the guideway 6.
  • the pin 9 By insertion of a tool such as a screwdriver through the side opening 11, the pin 9 can be pushed in the axial direction towards the open end of the bearing at the end of the second knuckle 7 and thus be disengaged from its axial retention in the bearing by press fitting into the guideway 6.
  • the embodiment shown in Figs 1-3 comprises a further opening 12 in the form of a recess at the open end of the bearing formed by the knuckle 7, said recess being accessible only in the open position of the sash part 5.
  • the pin 9 is formed with a transverse hose 13 which by release of the pin is brought into alignment with the recess 12.
  • the recess 12 also functions as an engaging part for radial and axial positioning of the pin 9, as the pin 9 is provided with a lug 14 projecting from its end surface.
  • the lug 14 is pushed into the recess 12, thereby achieving exact positioning of the pin 9 both axially, so that the end surface 15 is placed on a level with the opening 11 in the first guideway 6, and radially for angular positioning the hole 13 with respect to the recess 12 in the second guideway 7.
  • the design of the second knuckle 7 with the recess 12 and the pin with the hole 13 in correspondence therewith and the engaging lug 14 is not, however, a necessary characteristic of the hinge according to the invention, as the desired possibility of removing the pin 9 in the open position of the sash part 5 can be provided solely by means of the opening 11 in the first knuckle 6 positioned on a level with the end surface 15 of the pin 9.
  • the opening 11 as shown in Fig. 1 is formed as an axially extending slot, which provides a certain amount of tolerance in respect of the positioning of the end surface 15 when the pin 9 is pressed into the guideway 6.
  • the pin 9 may alternatively be manufactured with a hole or a recess, with which the inserted tool engages instead of acting direct on the end surface 15 of the pin.
  • disengagement of the pin 9 for removal from the bearing can be effected by insertion of a tool below the lug 14 pressed into the recess 12, whereby the opening 11 in the knuckle 6 with the closed end can be dispensed with.
  • the embodiment shown in Figs. 4 and 5 comprises a knuckle hinge with guideways 17 and 18 formed by the knuckles of two respective hinge parts 19 and 20 intended to be fastened on a sash part and a frame part, respectively, of the window.
  • the pin 21 may, in this embodiment, either be inserted with relatively tight press fitting into the guideway 18 containing the closed end of the bearing, whereby the guideway 17 must be freely pivotable with the pin 21 acting as fulcrum, or alternatively a recess 22 may as illustrated be formed at the open end of the guideway 17 for engagement with a projecting lug 13 from the corresponding end of the hinge part 21, whereby the hinge part 21 must be freely turnable inside the second guideway 18.
  • the pin 21 may be formed with a transverse hole 24 in the same way as described above for the embodiment in Figs. 1-3.
  • the two-knuckle hinge in Figs. 4 and 5 is substantially suited for horizontal mounting, for example as a hinge for a top-hung window, while the hinge designed with three or more knuckles can be used both for horizontal and vertical mounting, in the latter case with optional orientation of the bearing with the open end facing upwards as shown in Fig. 1 or downwards.
