  • this articulation fitting can take a position anywhere along the rear uprights of the frame and the opening frame.
  • Any state of the art solutions were only capable of meet this double condition, of a hinge fitting both invisible and not necessarily located at predefined locations along the rear pillar of the frame or the opening frame.
  • the present invention relates to a fitting hinge 1 for door or window opening at the French or similar. He is more particularly represented in Figures 4, 5 and 7 a sectional view of the rear upright 2 corresponding to the opening frame 3 intended to cooperate through of such a hinge fitting 1 with the rear upright 4 a sleeping frame 5.
  • this articulation fitting 1 comprises a fixed part 6 provided with fastening means 7 in rebate 8 of the frame 5.
  • This fixed part 6 is also provided with articulation means 9 in the form of an axis or, as shown in the modes of embodiment illustrated in the figures, in the form of a ball joint 10.
  • Such articulation means 9 are intended to cooperate with complementary articulation means 11, for example, a socket 12 associated with the movable part 13 corresponding to this hinge fitting 1.
  • this cover strip 14 can receive on its part extending along said rear upright 2 and on its side 16 oriented towards the sleeping frame 5, the recesses or notches 17 for receiving the mobile part 13.
  • this movable part 13 is in the form of a defined housing 18 capable of taking position in such a recess or notch 17. Inside from this housing 18 extends the socket 12 capable of receiving, from its lower end, an axis or a ball joint 10 corresponding to the fixed part 6 of the hinge fitting 1.
  • said housing 18 comprises, in its part upper, an anchoring end piece 19 capable of extending, in starting from the recess or the notch 17, inside of this cover strip 14 of tubular shape.
  • this anchoring end piece 19 extends, substantially, parallel to the corresponding pivot axis 20, obviously at the axis of the socket 12.
  • this movable part 13 of the articulation fitting 1 can take position at said covering strip 14, all along the rear upright 2 corresponding to the chassis opening 3.
  • the fastening means 7 in the rebate 8 of the frame 5 of this fixed part 6 are defined by a blade 21 extending parallel to the pivot axis 20 of said opening frame 3. Furthermore, it comprises, at its lateral border 22 opposite this latter, a perpendicular extension 23 constituting a support base to said articulation means 9.
  • this perpendicular extension 23 at the side edge 22 of the blade 21 is preferably located at the lower end 24 of the latter, which allows, if necessary, to approach, as close as possible, the articulation means 9 of the end lower of the rear upright 4 of a frame 5.
