Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinged-connection device, in particular for wardrobe and cabinet (in the following cabinet) doors.
  • hinged-connection devices for cabinet doors or similar furniture components may each comprise at least two swinging rods hinged on appropriate attachment elements in turn in engagement with a door and an upright or post.
  • these swinging rods in addition to supporting a door weight, define an appropriate opening and closing path for said door, which is characterized by a non-fixed but varying rotation axis enabling the door both to be put in abutment against the post edges when it is in its closed position, and to form a very wide opening angle, even wider than 90°.
  • Common attachment elements associated with the ends of the swinging rods are generally made up of a single piece of circular conformation which, during assembling, is fitted into and fastened to a mating cavity formed in the cabinet door or post.
  • the technical task underlying the present invention is to provide a hinged-connection device capable of substantially overcoming the cited limits.
  • Another important aim of the invention is to provide a device enabling the greatest adjustment versatility, while still keeping the possibility of using attachment elements of substantially circular conformation, so that mating coupling seats can be made in the cabinet doors and posts by simple working operations, round milling operations, for example.
  • connection device in accordance with the invention has been generally identified by reference numeral 1.
  • It comprises one or preferably two pairs of two swinging rods 2 and 3, made of steel for example, which are adapted to support a door 4 and to define the opening and closing path of door 4 relative to a post 5 of a cabinet or similar furniture.
  • the swinging rods 2 and 3 are interposed between a first attachment set 6, in engagement either with door 4 for example (as in the accompanying drawings) or also with post 5, and a second attachment set 7, to be engaged with post 5 or also with door 4.
  • the attachment sets 6 and 7 respectively comprise a first engagement portion 8, defined by a first hinging element for connection to respective ends of the swinging rods 2 and 3, and a second engagement portion 9 defined by a second hinging element for connection to opposite ends of the swinging rods 2 and 3.
  • the swinging rods 2 and 3 are defined by rocking levers of reduced vertical bulkiness (thickness) and are disposed and move along respective lying planes, which are preferably horizontal, vertically offset relative to each other. Due to the above, a reduced bulkiness is ensured and any interference problem during motion is excluded.
  • the two levers 2 and 3 practically form a four-bar linkage, so that the door can move relative to the post according to a movement which is instantaneously rotatory about a (vertical) axis defined by intersection of the vertical plane containing the straight line passing by the hinging points of the swinging rod or rocking lever 2, with a vertical plane containing the straight line passing by the hinging points of the swinging rod or rocking lever 3.
  • the device 1 comprises two swinging rods 2 and two swinging rods 3 disposed symmetrically relative to a horizontal symmetry axis 1a of the whole device 1. In this way, steadiness and precision in rotation are still more marked.
  • first and second hinging elements (engagement portions 8 and 9) can be shifted from the open condition in which they are spaced apart from each other, to the closed condition in which they are at least partly nested into each other, thereby greatly reducing bulkiness of device 1.
  • the first and second hinging elements 8 and 9 are made of a material having a different, preferably lower, hardness than the material of the rocking levers. If the latter are made of steel, advantageously the hinging elements are of an easily and precisely workable material, such as brass or aluminium.
  • the attachment set 6 comprises a support body 10 to be engaged to door 4 and post 5 by anchoring means, defined by lag screws for example, and connecting and adjusting means 12 interposed between the support body 10 itself and the corresponding hinging element 8.
  • the support body 10 has a base face 10a oriented vertically in an operating position and adapted to be coupled with a corresponding surface of a hollow formed in door 4, and mating regions 10b located in vertical planes inclined to the base face 10a and adapted for coupling with mating edges 8a of the first hinging element 8.
  • inclination of edges 8a and of the mating regions 10b enables an easy engagement or disengagement by sliding between the first support body and the first hinging element 8.
  • inclination of edges 8a also enables a variation in the mutual position between the support body and first hinging element, with possibility of locking by means of a fastening and adjusting screw 12a.
  • screw 12a works close to an elongated hole 12d formed in the hinging element 8, so that a translation of element 8 in a direction parallel to the inclined vertical planes defined by regions 10b and the corresponding edges 8a is allowed. Practically, during adjustment of the portion of element 8 relative to body 10, the elongated hole 12d moves relative to the fastening screw 12a.
  • the first support body 10 has a substantially flattened conformation and can be secured to door 4 by lag screws oriented according to an anchoring axis 13 transverse to the main face 4a of door 4.
  • the first support body 10 seen in top view in an operating position, shows a right-angled conformation defining two transverse base faces 10a and 10c, preferably perpendicular to each other and adapted to be coupled with for example a right-angled mating hollow formed in door 4.
  • the lag screws constituting the anchoring means to the door are also disposed at the base face 10c which is transverse to the main face 4a of door 4 and are therefore oriented according to an auxiliary anchoring axis 14 parallel to the main face 4a itself.
  • the first support body 10 is very steadily connected to the door, also due to the fact that very long screws can be employed along the auxiliary anchoring axis 14, in spite of the particular conformation of the door edge region.
  • the second attachment set 7 comprises a positioning element 11 provided with an at least partly circular outer profile 11a and a bearing body 15 to be fastened to a plurality of operating locations relative to the positioning element 11.
  • the bearing body 15 can be moved relative to the positioning element 11 in the door plane or in the post plane according to a substantially horizontal movement axis 16 (see Figs. 14-15).
  • the positioning element 11 is substantially in the form of a "C" and is symmetric with an axis coincident with the movement axis 16.
  • this element is made up of three portions defining the three "C" webs, each of which is provided with a respective through hole for connection with the cabinet through fastening means 22, lag screws for example.
  • the positioning element 11 is therefore provided with a circular outer profile 11a extending through an angle wider than 180°, whereas it is internally delimited by substantially rectilinear sections 11b which are consecutively perpendicular to each other.
  • Said rectilinear sections 11b and in particular two of them parallel to the movement axis 16 define a slide for the bearing body 15 along this horizontal axis 16.
  • the bearing body 15 is on the contrary formed of a base portion 17 having an at least partly circular outer profile.
  • this profile of the base portion 17 is defined by a first region of round profile 17a with a given radius of curvature, extending angularly through an angle slightly lower than 180°, and two connecting regions 17b which are circular as well but provided with a different radius of curvature and disposed symmetrically opposite with respect to the movement axis 16.
  • this base portion 17 is a predetermined number of elongated holes intended to enable coupling of the bearing body 15 both with the positioning element 11 and the cabinet.
  • the elongated holes have their major extension directed parallelly of the movement axis 16 to enable adjustment of the relative position of the positioning element 11 relative to the bearing body 15 (see Figs. 14-15).
  • the bearing body 15 further comprises a rest portion 18 emerging from the base portion 17 and having a surface 18a disposed vertically under operating conditions and adapted to receive the second hinging element 9.
  • the upper surface of the base portion 17 of the bearing body 15 (see Fig. 10) and the corresponding lower surface of the positioning element 11 (see Fig. 11) have a knurled finishing to prevent relative sliding between the parts once they have been fixedly fastened to the door or the post.
  • the positioning element 11 at its outer profile 11a and at a region thereof turned towards the cabinet, has a bulge 19 also extending circularly and emerging in a direction substantially perpendicular to a lower surface of the element itself.
  • the base portion 17 of the bearing body 15 is intended for engagement within the space defined by this bulge.
  • the shape of the base portion therefore is adapted for being fully contained within the space defined by bulge 19 of the positioning element 11.
  • a cavity of substantially circular form is made on a cabinet door or post, for reception of the positioning element 11 and the bearing body 15.
  • the bearing body 15 is preliminarily inserted and then the positioning element 11 is laid down thereon, partly overlapping it in such a manner that the rest portion 18 emerging from the bearing body 15 is inserted into the cavity defined by element 11.
  • the second hinging element 9 is susceptible of engagement with the bearing body, and in particular the rest portion thereof; said second hinging element, in addition to being provided with fork-shaped seats 9a for the ends of the swinging rods 2 and 3, also has an anchoring elongated hole 9b which, in an operating condition, extends in a vertical direction.
  • the connecting and adjusting means of the second hinging element 9 comprises a main connecting and adjusting screw 12b to be locked to a predetermined position of the elongated hole 9b, which enables adjustment of the door in a vertical plane. More specifically, the elongated hole 9b has a longitudinal extension axis 9c along which the relative movement of screw 12b can take place, thereby obtaining the possibility of moving the second hinging element 9 up and down relative to the bearing body 15.
  • the connecting and adjusting means of the second hinging element 9 also comprises an auxiliary adjusting screw 12c having a thrust end abutting against the rest portion 18, which enables the second hinging element itself to be locked to a predetermined and varying distance in a horizontal direction (i.e. along a horizontal axis perpendicular to the movement axis 16) from the rest portion.
  • the invention achieves important advantages.
  • the second attachment set is made of several components and since in particular there is the possibility of engaging the positioning element and bearing body relative to each other at different positions along the horizontal movement axis, many advantages and improvements are involved, above all during the hinge-mounting steps.
  • each positioning error along the ideal horizontal axis (i.e. the movement axis 16) joining the attachment sets can be compensated for in a precise manner.
  • attachment sets each comprising two components, for connection to the door and the post enables the materials of same to be easily diversified in respect of those of the swinging rods, and the production cycles of the whole device to be optimized.
  • the support bodies, positioning element and bearing body can be made of aluminium or other non-ferrous material alloys by adopting die-casting processes.
  • the hinging elements can be made of brass and submitted to a quick and precise mechanical working.
  • the swinging rods may consist of steel elements obtained by a quick cutting-out operation. In this manner the overall production costs are consequently greatly reduced.
  • the surface hardness of the swinging rods may be different from that of the hinging elements and this enables frictions and wear of the regions intended for sliding on each other to be reduced.
  • the connecting and adjusting means interposed between the support bodies and relative hinging elements enables the door position to be adapted easily, quickly and in any direction relative to the post during both the closing and opening steps.
  • the above-described second embodiment of the support body to be coupled with a door enables a particularly strong anchoring to be made, which anchoring is therefore very reliable and durable also in case of rather heavy doors.
