The hinge (2) is arranged reversible and preferably adjustable and shows a first part (4) intended to be arranged to the door (1) and a second part (6) intended to be arranged partly to the door (1) partly to the frame and consists of a hinge with a first leaf (7) and a second leaf (8) connected with each other by a hinge pin (9) or similar.

Description

The present invention relates to a device in front-doors for houses and flats formed to be able to arrange the door for either right-hand or left-hand hanging, openable outwards or in applicable cases inwards, whereby the device comprises adjustable hinges, preferably safety hinges, which are adjustable vertically as well as laterally, a frame and a door, that the hinges show a first part which is in form of a plate-shaped body and a second part which is intended to be arranged partly to a door partly to a frame and has a first leaf and a second leaf connected with each other by a hinge member, that the frame is formed in parts with two frame sides, a frame head and a door sill or door-step and is arranged to be able to be assembled on place and by that be joined by assembling means to form the frame for a right-hand hung or left-hand hung door and that the hinges or the said first and second leaves in a first frame side and in the door are intended to be arranged at the same distance from the ends or end-edges of the frame side and the door respectively and a striker plate in the other frame side is arranged in between the ends of the frame side.
The device according to the invention consists of a hinge with a first part intended to be arranged in the door and a second part for the hanging of the door into a frame and intended to extend between the door and the frame and consists of a hinge. The device according to the invention comprises also the said door and the said frame and also a doorstep in the frame.
There is a need to be able to arrange a door both for right-hand and left-hand hanging and also openable outwards and inwards, at which consideration must be taken to the shaping of the frame and doorstep. The inside and outside of the door must be formed to be able to be turned towards the exterior of the building, i.e. be reversible. The assortiment and the stock-keeping can by that i.a. be essentially reduced as one docs not need to take into consideration whether the door is meant for right-hand or left-hand hanging and in applicable cases if the door will be openable outwards or inwards. The choice of door for the customer would by that be simplified and in optimum shaping of the device could be reduced to the dimensions of the door, i.e. to the width and height of the door and its design. Further, there is a need of an improved security for doors to reduce the risiko far burglary.
Most of prior known devices in front-doors and also in other kind of doors, the devices are arranged in such a way that a door is arranged either for right-hand or left-hand hanging. Further, each variant of door is arranged so it is arranged either to be openable inwards or outwards. That involve a multiplicity of different variants of one and the same device or door construction or parts in it. Safety devices exist also in doors but the inconveniences in known devices can be eliminated and the devices can be improved.
US 4 489 517 A shows a door and frame assembly which is adapted for assembly within an existing door opening in an interior wall as a replacement door and enable the door to be hung for either right-hand or left-hand opening. Upper head frame and the vertical frame members consist of partly wood partly metallic sheet material. The hinges used are of a most conventional type with two hinge leaves connected by an easy releasible hinge pin. One of the hinge leaves of the hinge may be reversed while the other is fixedly secured to the inner surface of the hinge frame member by welding to provide preassembly of said hinge leaf. The lock frame member includes a striker plate. Both said fra frame members are reversible and also the door to enable mounting of the door for either right-hand or left-hand opening. Said door and frame assembly is suitable only for temporary use, as during building or renovation and not for new production, villas, bungalows, etc. Except the limit use of such an assembly it is complicated in construction and mounting and there is no security involved and no adjustment possibilities for the door. The hinge pin must be easyly releasible. Further , the hinges lack, for example, the additional part in form of a plate-shaped body which is fixedly anchored to the door.
FR 2 699 588 A shows also a particular door assembly with a frame and fittings designed to effect either right-hand or left-hand hanging of a door. The frame sides of the frame are fixedly attached to the upper head frame and are thus stationary. The edges of the frame sides facing each other have both corresponding recesses right opposite one another for first hinge leaves of hinges and a striker plate. The door has in one edge recesses for bodies for attachment of the second hinge leaves of the hinges. The opposite edge of the door has a lock mechanism. The door is reversible. To change the door assembly from right-hand to left-hand hanging or vice versa the fittings mounted into the frame sides of the frame are shifted between the frame sides and said second hinge leaves shown by the door are after dismounting directed opposite the prior direction for said second hinge leaves. The dismounted door is then turned around a vertical axis and will be hung to the other frame side of the frame. This door assembly is also suited for only certain use and cannot be adapted from, for example, inwards to outwards opening. The adjustment possibilities are also poor.
In said prior devices the hinge leaves of the hinges are separated before the mounting of the door and also after dismounting of the door such as during possible adjustment of the assembly, changing operations, etc. In any way no adjustment can be performed when the door is hung into the frame. There are no security arrangements presented for the said prior devices.
The object of the present invention is to provide a device of the kind in question and comprising a door complete with adjustable hinges, frame and doorstep. The parts can after delivery be arranged as desired and need and after installation even be altered no that a right-hand hanging door is shifted to be a left-hand hanging door or vice versa. A prior door either right-hand or left-hand hung door, which, for example, was openable inwards, can be shifted to be openable outwards or vice versa. Further, the device can be formed and/or equiped so that made demands upon safety are met or at least be prepared for such a safety for later supplementing. Thus, the hinge is formed burglary proof and equiped with a back edge locking device preferably of hardened steel. Further, a safety lock with a burglary proof striking plate is preferably used. The lock and also other parts of the device can, according to the invention, also be prepared for integration of burglar alarm. Another object of the device according to the invention is to form the hinge adjustable for adjusting of the door both vertically and laterally. An additional object is in applicable cases to form the door not only reversible but also so it can manage weather conditions with either its outside or inside.
The device in accordance with the invention is thus characterized in that said first part of the hinges is fixedly anchored to the door by means of anchoring means and intended to form an anchoring for a security device or a so-called back edge locking device and a basis for adjusting means for lateral adjustment of the door, that said second part of the hinges is arranged to a frame side by that the said second leaf is anchored to the frame side by means of fastening means, that the said first leaf in the second part of the hinges has a through aperture for passing through and position of the security device in said first leaf, that the said first leaf in the second part of the hinges is intended to be arranged to the door by means of fastening means and to cover said first part of the hinges and its anchoring by said anchoring means and any attacking places in the hinge are covered by the hinge member, that said door sill or doorstep is arranged to be able to extend under the lower end of the frame sides and said frame head is arranged to be able to extend over the upper end of the frame sides, that the frame sides can be turned upside-down to be either right-hand hung or left-hand hung and that said security device is used to facilitate the hanging of the door in the frame or to said second part of the hinges.
Another characteristic of the device in accordance with the invention is that the said through aperture has an enlarged part with a wider aperture and a narrower part with a minor aperture and that the part with the wider aperture in the through aperture is turned in the direction of said hinge member.
According to an additional characteristic of the device in accordance with the invention show said first part of the hinges through holes for passing through of said anchoring means, through holes for passing through of said fastening means, a threaded hole for engagement of said security device and cavities for said adjusting means for said lateral adjustment of the door.
Still another characteristic of the device in accordance with the invention is that said first part of the hinges shows a double hole picture of said through holes and doubled cavities for said adjusting means.
One more characteristic of the device in accordance with the invention is that said second part of the hinges is turnable and that the door or door panel is reversible and shows two panel surfaces, whereby the door can be arranged for either right-hand hanging or left-hand hanging, openable outwards or inwards.
According to yet another characteristic of the device in accordance with the invention shows the door or door panel two panel surfaces and is formed turnable, whereby the frame sides and the door can be turned upside-down to be either right-hand hung or left-hand hung.
Another additional characteristic of the device in accordance with the invention is that said panel surfaces of the door are formed uniform and formed to be able to face either the exterior or the interior, as well as existing glazing in the door.
Further characteristics of and advantages with the device in accordance with the invention will in the following description of the device be apparent by embodiment examples, whereby a simultaneous reference will be made to the accompanying schematic drawings, on which Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a portion of the device according to the invention, Fig. 2 shows perspective views of additional portions of the device according to the invention in an embodiment and in accordance with the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of a portion of a device according to the invention in a later phase of assemblage or mounting and the portion of the device according to some different shaping, Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a portion of a device according to the invention in accordance with the first shown embodiment and in a further later phase of assemblage or mounting, Fig. 5 shows in cross-section and in some enlarged scale a part which is part of the device, Fig. 6 shows partly in cross-section and in enlarged scale and according to an emodiment a part which is part of the device, Fig. 7 shows from one side schematic-ally and in separate parts a frame with doorstep and joining devices in positions for joining, Fig. 8 shows in enlarged scale a cross-section of a portion of the lower part of a door and a doorstep arranged for a door openable outwards and in accordance with an embodiment of the device according to the invention and Fig. 9 shows in enlarged scale a cross-section of a portion of the lower part of a door and a doorstep arranged for a door openable inwards and in accordance with an embodiment of the device according to the invention.
With the reference designation 2 in Fig. 4 is shown a hinge according to an embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention. The hinge is arranged between a door 1 and a frame 3 or a frame side 17, sec also Fig. 7. With further reference to also Fig. 2 it appears that the hinge 2 comprises a first part 4 and a second part 6, whereby the first part 4 is intended to be arranged in a recess 14 in the door, while the second part 6 is intended to be arranged with a first leaf 7 to the door 1 and with a second leaf 8 to the frame 3. The first part 4 of the hinge 2 is in form of a plate-shaped body which is meant to lie against the bottom of the said recess 14 and be anchored by means of anchoring means 24, whereby the wood in the door 1 in the recess 14 is protected against wet and absorption of moisture. The first part 4 of the hinge 2 shows through holes 16 for the anchoring means 24 and a threaded hole 20 for engagement and adjustment of a security device 10 or a so-called back edge locking device.
With further reference to Fig. 1 it appears that the first part 4 or the base plate of the hinge 2 shows a doubled hole-picture for through holes 23 and 26 for passing through of fastening means 28, whereby the holes 23 are used when the door 1 is anchored to the frame 3 by the fastening means 28, while one of the other holes 26 mentioned is used for an assistant fastening means 28 as an extra protection against burglary and are arranged close to side-edges of the base plate 4 so that the attachment will be located a long way into the door 1 from the exterior of the door. Corresponding through holes 27 and 29 respectively for the fastening means 28 exist in the first leaf 7 of the second part 6 of the hinge 2 but in this case only in single edition.
Further, in the base plate 4 exists cavities 21 also in doubled edition and used as a basis for adjusting means 40 which, according to the embodiment example, are in form of screws, whereby the cavities 21 preferably show a proportionately large diameter so the screws certainly will find their positions and besides be able to form a guide to assist in assemblage of the door to the frame and in addition serve as a rough setting of the position of the door in the frame, see Fig. 5. Corresponding threaded holes 22 exist in the first leaf 7 in the second part 6 of the hinge but in this case only in single edition.
In the first leaf 7 in the second part 6 of the hinge 2 exists in addition an aperture 25 through the leaf, the aperture has preferably an enlarged part 45, whereby the aperture 25, 45 is meant for passing through and position for the security device 10 in form of a threaded screw or bolt.
In the second leaf 8 in the second part 6 of the hinge 2 exists an aperture 30 through the leaf for passing through of the head of the security device 10 so it can be taken up into the frame 3 and furthermore through holes for fastening means 32 for fastening of the leaf 8 to the frame 3. For improved anchoring of the second leaf 8 or the door 1 to the frame 3 inward-bent or angeled tongues 33 can be formed, whereby the fastening means 34 can have anchoring in a part of the frame 3 which has more strength or is considerable dimensioned.
The said first and second leaves 7 and 8 respectively are united with each other by means of a hinge member 9 which, according to an embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention, can comprise an adjusting element 39 for adjustment of the door 1 vertically. According to the embodiment example, the adjusting element 39 is arranged both in the upper and lower end of the hinge member 9, see also Fig. 6, and is in form of adjusting screws 41, which can influence the axis or pin 43 in the hinge member 9 via ball 42.
With the arrows 31 in Fig. 3 is shown the hanging of the door 1 in the frame 3 or to the second part 6 of the hinge 2, whereby the security device 10 is used to facilitate the hanging. Thus, the door 1 is hung by the fact that the security device 10 is brought through the wider part 45 of the aperture 25 and then the door 1 is displaced in the direction of the arrow 31 so that the security device is brought into the narrower part of the aperture 25. By that the door 1 is hanging in the frame 3 and continued assemblage of the door 1 to the frame 3 can be done by adjustment of the location of the door in the frame both laterally and vertically and anchoring of the door to the second leaf 6.
The said base plate 4 in the recess 14 of the door 1 is fixed anchored in the door 1 and lie against the bottom of the recess 14. The base plate 4 forms a durable anchoring for i.a. the security device 10 in the back edge locking device and is covered by the first leaf 7 in the second part 6 of the hinge 2 and the gap between the parts is covered by the hinge member 9.
The security device 10 is anchored in engagement with the base plate 4 and by that anchored better than what is usual.
Base plates 4 are arranged in recesses 14 in the edge 13 of the door 1 and with a security device 10 arranged in the base plate 4. With regard to the fact that the door 1 will be arranged for right-hand hanging or left-hand hanging, openable outwards or inwards the hinges 2 or a second part 6 of the hinges 2 are turned into right direction and are anchored in the frame 3 which with frame sides 17, 18 are arranged for a door for right-hand hanging, left-hand hanging, openable outwards and openable inwards respectively. The door 1 with the security devices 10 is brought into the hinges through the wider part in the aperture 25, whereby the door 1 is hanging in the hinges 2, 6 and in the frame 3. After that the door 1 is displaced so that the security device 10 is received by the minor part of the aperture 25, see the arrows 31 in Fig. 3, whereby a certain rough adjustment of the door 1 can be done by the adjusting means 40 which find position in the cavities 21. The security device 10 can be somewhat tighten, whereby the door 1 is hanging in the hinges 2, 6 and in the frame 3. After that the door 1 can be laterally position-adjusted in the frame 3 by the adjusting means 40 and vertically by the adjusting elements 39 in the hinge member 9 which is doubled in such a way that it can be adjusted both in the lower part and/or upper part. see Fig. 6. Fine adjustment can be done by some relieve of the security device 10. In laterally adjustment adjustment is done between the first part 4 or the base plate of the hinge 2 and the second part 6 of the hinge 2 or its first leaf 7 and by means of adjustment of the adjusting means 40. When the door 1 has got the intended position in the frame 3 the position is secured by the fastening means 28 which anchor the door for the use in the frame 3. For improved burglary proof a fastening means 28 can also be arranged through the holes 26, 29 of the hinge parts 2, 6, 7, whereby the breaking will occur farther in towards the inside of the room. The base plate 4 and its anchoring by the anchoring means 24 are covered by the second part 6 of the hinge 2 and will be unassailable. Besides, the hinge member 9 covers any attacking places in the hinge 2. The hinge 2, the base plate 4 and the second part 6 of the hinge 2 are preferably made of steel from security point of view.
The risk of rot or absorption of moisture between the base plate 4 and wood or moisture absorbing material is prevented by the fact that the base plate 4 is lying firmly against the door 1 (against the wood). Besides, in adjustment of door 1 laterally in the frame 3 displacement is done and by that appears eventually a gap 44 between door 1 and hinge but between metal and metal and not between moisture absorbing material in the door and hinge. The anchoring of the base plate 4 in the recesses 14 in the door-edge 13 is important and involves also a considerable improvement of the security against burglary or undue trespass through the door.
The door 1 is formed uniform on the outside and the inside and with a marginal recess which by that also exists both on the outside and the inside and from, for example, aesthetical point of view and tightening, it is advantageous if the marginal recess 15 exists in the door-edge around the door 1, whereby the door can be turned for right-hand hanging or left-hand hanging but also the frame parts 5, 17, 18, 19 can be formed so they fit in an intended way from tightening point of view, etc. They are uniform in parts connecting with the door 1. The door 1 is by that and regarding, for example, decor, surface treatment, the marginal recesses, etc. made to manage the more serious environment existing on the exterior of the door and for that reason the steps taken exist also in the forming of that panel surface 11, 12 which is going to be turned towards the interior. The hinges are reversible. The base plate 4 shows a doubled hole-picture, see i.a. the figures or Fig. 1 showing the base plate with doubled cavities 21 to be suited for an installation of the door 1 in the frame 3 for right-hand hanging or left-hand hanging (and openable outwards or openable inwards). The door 1 is thus formed reversible to be able to be right-hand hung or left-hand hung.
One does not need to think about if the door is meant to be right-hand hung or left-hand hung and be openable outwards or inwards. It depends on the shaping of the hinge 2 and the frame 3 and the reversible door panel. Further, the device in accordance with the invention results in reduced costs for stock-keeping at wholesalers, shops, construction firms and manufacturers as well and also shorter time delivery. Besides, the device according to the invention permits the possibility to regret. Up to and including an installed door can be altered for right-hand hanging instead of left-hand hanging or vice versa and/or from being openable outwards to be openable inwards or vice versa. One could say that one obtains four doors in one single door. According to an embodiment the doorstep 5 can further be shaped with low height a height principally for the impact of the door 1, as the doorstep 5 in its shaping for the rest shows or is replaced by a profile of metal which results in insignificant height of construction. A device for a door openable inwards can be supplemented in a door openable outwards by a profile or corresponding on the lower part of the door 1 serving as a draining edge for rain-water striking against the door and the top side 35 of the doorstep 5 is supplemented by a profile for outflow of the rain-water from the device, see the said figures. The said supplementing is the only need to be done, if desirable, for the arranging of a door openable outwards instead of openable inwards and/or for a door for right-hand hanging or left-hand hanging. The door 3 is formed symmetrical and in parts - two frame sides 17 and 18, a frame head 19 and a door sill or doorstep 5 - and the parts can be assembled according to the wish of the customer for a door 1 for right-hand hanging or left-hand hanging and/or openable inwards, whereby the frame members 17 - 19 are directed towards the intended direction, as well as the doorstep 5 and also when reassembled in regret. For this it requires that the hinges or leaves in a first frame side 17 and in the door 1 are arranged at the same distance from the ends or end-edges of the frame side 17 and the door 1 respectively and that the lock/bolt of the door 1 is arranged in between the end-edges of the door and the striker plate 44 arranged in the other frame side 18 is arranged in between the ends of the frame side, whereby the frame sides 17, 18 and the door 1 can be turned upside-down to be either right-hand hung or left-hand hung and/or openable outwards or inwards.
As it is evident from further figures the device can, according to an embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention, be arranged or prepared for an integrated burglary alarm. Thus, it is arranged a groove or recess to take up a band under the striker plate in the other frame side 18 which band is arranged to start the alarm. There is a hole through the frame side in the bottom of the recess for the electric wiring for the alarm. The said recess for the alarm-band exists in that part of the frame which is meant to be turned nearest the exterior in a door openable outwards, whereby in interference with the striker plate in the frame with a burglary tool, the tool will come into engagement and/or touch with the alarm-band and alarm occur even before the trespasser has entered the housing or room which is closed by means of the device or the door 1.
The frame 3 or the frame members are preferably provided with customary adjustable frame screws. Assembling means 36, as shown in the figure over the frame 3, exist for joining the frame members 17 - 19 and the doorstep 5 to form the frame 3.
Thus, the assemblage of the device in a door opening can be done in the following manner. The frame 3 is joined with the assembling means, for example screws, to be used for right-design or left-design. There are predrilled holes in the ends of the frame sides 17, 18 when screws are used. The frame 3, which can be assemblage on place, is considered to be new. Then the frame 3 is placed against the wall-beams and the doorstep 5 is arranged in horizontal level. The frame sides are, after that, adjusted to extend vertically. Afterwards the frame 3 is measured diagonally so that the two dimensions at this become equal. The frame 3 is fixed to the wall of the door opening. The door 1 or door panel is hung and inspection is done to see if the door fits in the frame. If not, adjustment is done by the adjustment devices for the frame or the frame screws and by the possibilities of adjustment of the hinge. The security device is used as support when the door or door panel is hung. The security device 10 is unscrewed, the door panel is hung in the frame and the security device 10 is tightened. Finally, the door panel is fixed by the fastening means 28. The possibilities of adjustment by means of the hinge 2 is laterally by the adjusting means 40 and vertically by the adjusting element 39 with the adjusting screws 41 in the hinge member 9.
