Definitions

  • the invention concerns a hinge for a hinge connection between door/gate sections comprising a first and a second hinge profile, said hinge profiles comprising a link function lying between the two profiles for the provision of an axis of rotation and hinging around which the two profiles turn, said first hinge profile comprising an outer profile, and said second hinge profile comprising an inner profile lying at a shorter distance to the link connection than the outer profile and with its outer surface facing towards the outer profile, the inner surface of said outer profile being substantially plane, and the outer surface of said inner profile comprising a curved part extending from the free concluding edge of the profile and at a distance hereto.
  • the invention also concerns the use hereof.
  • the outer and the inner profile are placed in such a manner that the outer profile covers over the inner profile when the gate is in the closed position, and that the distance is measured along a line at right-angles to the surface of the gate and through the axis of rotation.
  • a hinge system for use for door sections for linked hoist gates is known from EP-735226.
  • the hinge assembly consists of a profile part shaped as a nose and curved, which upon activation of the link connection turns past an outer profile having an inner surface which is curved, and which corresponds to the curve of the nose part.
  • the object of the invention is thus to provide a hinge assembly between gate sections/parts which can be used e.g. for gates, for example as these are seen in EP-769605, and where optimum finger protection is achieved while at the same time the construction can be made relatively narrow, whereby a radical saving in material is achieved, and where room is also provided for screws, bolts or similar securing elements for fastening the hinge assembly profile to the frame section, and without the necessity of having to drill clearance holes beforehand, and where the fastening is such that the longitudinal axis of the screws is placed parallel with the surface of the closed gate.
  • each hinge profile comprises a first and a second area respectively for mounting of the securing elements which connect each hinge profile with a section/frame.
  • the function of the hinge assembly is thus that the two finger-protection profiles, the outer and the inner profile, are disposed in a mutually relative manner in such a way that the outer profile preferably covers almost the whole of the inner profile, and where the actual opening between the outer and the inner profile does not take place outside the link connection itself, but displaced from the actual position of the link connection.
  • the opening slot thus lies at a distance from the rotation centre of the hinge.
  • the known assemblies have mainly an assembly which lies directly opposite the actual link connection, as opposed to the present invention which ensures precisely that this opening slot lies in a displaced manner, which is made possible by the inner profile having a flat part which is covered by the outer part.
  • the opening slot will thus vary 1-6 mm during the opening. It is precisely due to this varying opening slot and the displacement where the two profiles are divided which has made it possible to achieve a flat finger-protection, while at the same time that the construction can make it possible for the hinge part to be fastened to the sections, in that this is made possible due to the mutual relationship of the profiles, and without the necessity of drilling holes beforehand for the mounting of the screws, in that there is direct access to the area for this mounting. This is due precisely to the construction of the flat finger protection.
  • a plane surface is achieved in the closed position so that the sealing lip against the outside of the gate surface also achieves an optimally good tightness.
  • rollers which are used to guide the gate leaf in the rails are coincident with the hinge axle, whereby it is not necessary to produce a separate roller holder.
  • the invention also concerns the use of a hinge in the manner disclosed in claim 10.
  • Fig. 1 shows an example embodiment of a hinge 1 and comprising a first hinge profile 2 and a second hinge profile 3, said hinge profiles being pivotally connected to each other around a link function 4, and where the inside of said link function 4 comprises an axis of rotation 5 around which the whole assembly turns.
  • the first hinge profile 2 comprises an outer profile 6 consisting of a mainly plane rail which, when the gate is in the closed position, will lie substantially flush with the adjacent surfaces.
  • the outer profile 6 extends directly over into a section profile 26 to which are secured the sections which form a gate 28 when fastened together.
  • the transition between the outer profile 6 and the section profile 26 is either invisible or marked merely with a small notch.
  • the two parts are thus not angled in relation to each other and are extruded in one piece.
  • a 90° plate profile is connected, said plate profile 29 extending for a certain distance from the inner surface 12 of the outer profile 6, and which is extruded in one piece.
  • the plate profile 29 comprises an area which forms a substantially plane surface 18, though possibly provided with grooves or the like, and where there is room for a securing element in the form of a screw 20 for mounting this second profile in firm connection with a frame 33 which constitutes one of the sections for the gate.
  • the plate profile 29 comprises a second plate profile 30 at right-angles hereto, and which ends in a further, partly cylindrical sleeve 23 which forms part of the actual link connection 4.
  • the link connection 4 consists as mentioned of this outer, partly cylindrical sleeve 23, which is partly cylindrical in shape and surrounds an inner sleeve which is cylindrical and hollow on the inside, and which on its outer surface is partly cylindrical.
  • the inner cylindrical sleeve 21 is connected to the second hinge profile 3 by an approximately S-shaped profile, which second profile will be explained in more detail.
  • the second hinge profile 3 comprises an inner profile 7 which upon closing is completely covered by the outer profile 6.
  • This inner profile 7 is connected to a section profile 26' which section profile 26' has the same function as section profile 26.
  • the inner profile 7 has a nose shape in the sense that the one half part consists of a curved part 9, and the second half part extends over into a second part which is approximately plane and constitutes the plate surface 11 of the inner profile.
  • the transition 14 between the two geometrical shapes lies approximately opposite the axis of rotation 5 for the link function 4.
  • the curved part has an arc which is concentric with the axis of rotation 5.
  • the slot between the outer and the inner profile will vary from 1-6 mm.
  • the opening slot 31 thus lies displaced from and below that plane which arises when a line is drawn from the axis of rotation 5 forward to the transition area 14 between the plane and the curved area for the inner profile 7.
  • the distance between the slot 31 and this transition area 14 is approximately the same as the distance between the transition area 14 and that area where the outer profile 6 is connected to the section profile 26.
  • the axis of rotation 5 is thus disposed in a centre plane in relation to the starting point and the end point of the outer and the inner profile.
  • the inner profile 7 has a concluding edge 10 which lies opposite to the concluding edge 17 of the outer profile 6.
  • the underside of the concluding edge 10 of the inner profile i.e. the side facing towards the link function 4, is configured with a facet 15 which abuts against the ledge 16 when the hinge and the gate are closed.
  • the outer profile is configured as a form of hollow profile with the upper part, which as mentioned consists of a flat part and a curved part, the lowermost end of which is preferably a plane plate 32.
  • the inner profile 7 is connected at right-angles to the second plate profile 30 and is extruded in one piece herewith.
  • the dimension of the actual hinge part/link part itself is determined by the need for mounting a roller axle of up to ⁇ 11mm in the centre of the hinge part/link part. This cylindrical centre is used for the mounting of the rollers which are used when the gate leaves are required to run in rails, such as is seen in fig. 4, which hereafter will be described in more detail.
  • Fig. 4 shows the rails 34 used for a gate 28, such as this is seen in fig. 3, and where the gate is opened by way of rollers 35 mounted in a rail 34 at each side of the gate 38.
  • This rail 34 supports a roller 35 which is fastened to an axle 36 which lies inside the inner part of the link connection 4.
  • Fig. 4 also shows the mutual relationship between the inner profile and the outer profile during an opening movement, in that a larger and larger slot of 1-6 mm appears during a 65-70° opening of this.
  • Fig. 3 shows the individual sections 26 in which such a gate is divided, and which in the horizontal plane are hinged to over- and under-lying profiles by means of hinges according to the invention, while in the vertical plane they are fastened to one another in an unmoveable manner.
  • the sections thus consist of a kind of filling in the form of glass or metal plates 37 which are surrounded by a rectangular frame 38, and where upper and lower frames are fastened to the hinge according to the invention by means of screws or the like.
  • the construction distinguishes itself in that when the gate is in the closed position, it has a closing-together point which is concealed, in that the inner profile 7 has a facet 15 on its nose which abuts against the ledge 16 during the closing.
  • a change can be achieved in the angle between the surfaces of the two hinge profiles, so that a crossing-over can take place, which can be expedient in certain situations.
  • An over-closed position of about 3-4° can thus arise by using the construction as shown in fig. 1 instead of that in fig. 2, where the facet has another distance and position in relation to the ledge 16, and where the mutual relationships between position 15 and 16 and the slot opening 31 are adjusted.
  • first and the second profiles have some configurations which make it possible to fasten plastic profiles/panels 25, which are removable, and which provide an attractive surface facing the inside of the room. At the same time, by producing these profiles in plastic a better insulation is achieved. Moreover, it is avoided that condensation occurs when there are great differences in temperature between the two gate surfaces. Furthermore, these can secure either double-glazing or filling (e.g. aluminium plates with foam in between) in the frames.
  • the invention is for use especially in relation with gates, but it can naturally find application in other places where a good tightening function is desired, at the same time that the hinge shall be able to be mounted with connection elements.
  • Both the first and second hinge profiles are extruded in one piece.
