Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of hinges comprising at less a movable knuckle placed between two fixed knuckles, a spit going through all the knuckles and means to exercise a couple of adjustable braking on the moving knuckle.
  • Such hinges are used when the door must remain in a fixed position after opening. This is so for example for the doors of the technical cabinets during maintenance, and for flat screens laptops that must maintain a vertical or slightly inclined position during use.
  • FR A 2 613 002 discloses a hinge brake in particular for window opening in which it is provided between the cylindrical seats two hinges and the pin of the hinge, a sleeve in one semi-rigid elastomeric material, and it bears against opposite ends of the sleeve two cylindrical elements likely to engage the cylindrical spans of both hinges and strung on the spindle, the latter having a head of spindle and a threaded end cooperating with a clamping nut for compress the elastomer sleeve. This nut is used both for fastening spindle and compression of the elastomeric sleeve.
  • the peripheral wall of the elastomeric sleeve co-operates directly with the cylindrical walls of the knuckle and knuckle mobile.
  • the sleeve is thus subjected to torsion torques which may be detrimental to the maintenance of its integrity.
  • the head screw and nut are supported on the end faces of the knuckles, this which is detrimental to the aesthetic aspect of the whole, and can lead to loosen the nut.
  • the invention was aim of proposing a hinge equipped with a brake, in which the sleeve of semi-rigid elastomeric material is only subject to axial compression efforts.
  • a second object of the invention is to propose a cartridge forming a pin to secure the knuckles, which is easy to mount and disassemble and that includes the braking means.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device for hinge brake that is easily adjustable.
  • the hinge according to the invention is characterized by the fact that the pin consists of a radially deformable cylinder body which has a cylindrical internal cavity opening at one of the ends of said body and which has at the other end a bottom in which is provided a tapped axial orifice whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the cavity, said cylinder body further having means for immobilize it in rotation with respect to at least one of said knuckles fixed, and by the fact that the means for exerting a braking torque comprise a screw whose head is housed in the entrance of the cavity and whose drum is terminated by a thread cooperating with the threaded axial orifice of said cylinder body, sleeves of semi-rigid elastomeric material and rigid annular spacers threaded alternately on the barrel of the screw and dimensioned so as to fill the annular space of the cavity which around the barrel, the sleeves made of elastomeric material being arranged in mobile knuckles so that a tightening of the screw causes a compression
  • the means for immobilizing in rotation the cylinder body relative to a fixed knuckle comprise a radial lug formed on the peripheral wall of the cylinder body and an axial groove formed in the inner wall of said knuckle to receive said lug.
  • the lug consists of an axial rib extending substantially throughout the length of the fixed knuckle corresponding.
  • the cylinder body has a lug facing each fixed knuckle, these fixed knuckles having aligned axial grooves, and the mobile knuckles each have an axial rib likely to be aligned with the ribs of the fixed knuckles in a determined position mounting and dismounting the spindle.
  • the spindle can not be mounted or disassembled only when all the ribs of the fixed knuckles or mobile are aligned.
  • the cylinder body further comprises means for immobilizing it in rotation with respect to at least one of the fixed knuckles.
  • the immobilization means comprise at least less a radial lug formed on the peripheral wall of the cylinder body.
  • the lug consists of an axial rib.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show a hinge 1 having two hinges 2a, 2b.
  • the hinge 2a called fixed, comprises two fixed knuckles 3a and 3b, and the hinge 2b, called mobile, comprises a movable knuckle 4a disposed between the two knuckles 3a and 3b.
  • a pin 5 shown in section in FIG. 5 is arranged in the aligned cylindrical orifices of the three knuckles 3a, 3b and 4a.
  • the fixed knuckles 3a and 3b have aligned grooves 6a and 6b parallel to the axis 7 of the hinge 1.
  • the movable knuckle 4a also comprises a groove 6c which, in a given angular position of the hinges 2a and 2b, is located in the alignment of the grooves 6a and 6b.
  • Pin 5 has a cylinder body 8 having a wall cylindrical peripheral 9 radially deformable which delimits a cavity internal cylindrical axis 7 opening on an end face of the body 8 and a bottom 11 in which is axially formed an axial orifice tapped having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the cavity 10.
  • the thickness of the bottom 11 is slightly larger than the height of a fixed knuckle 3a, 3b.
  • a screw 12 comprising a screw head 13 and a shaft 14 whose end portion 15 is threaded extends axially in the cavity 10.
  • the head 13 of the screw 12 is disposed at the entrance to the cavity 10, while its threaded portion 15 cooperates with the tapped hole of the bottom 11.
  • a pushbutton 16 in support against the inner face of the screw head 13 and having a flange 17 surrounding the screw head 13, and on the other hand a sleeve 18 interposed between the pusher 16 and the bottom 11.
  • the pusher 16 and the sleeve 18 occupy at rest the totality of the annular space surrounding the barrel 14 and delimited by the peripheral wall cylindrical 9.
  • the total length of the pusher 16, made in one rigid material, is slightly larger than the height of the fixed knuckle 3a.
  • the cylinder body 8 further comprises on its peripheral wall external, two aligned axial ribs 19a and 19b for accommodating in the grooves 6a, 6b of the fixed knuckles 3a and 3b.
  • the rib 19a is slid by example in the groove 6b, then the groove 6c aligned with the grooves 6a and 6b, then the groove 6a.
  • the rib 19b is then positioned in the groove 6b.
  • the sleeve 18 is made of a semi-rigid elastomeric material.
  • the screw head 13 has on its outer face a footprint 20 intended to cooperate with a suitable tool to enable the tightening of the screw 12.
  • the impression can be made in the form of a hexagonal hole for example.
  • Tightening the screw 12 causes axial compression of the sleeve 18, and a radial expansion of the cylindrical wall portion 9a surrounding the sleeve 18. Due to the dimensions given in FIG. bottom 11 and the pusher 16, the sleeve 18, out of stress, is arranged opposite the fixed knuckle 4a.
  • the length of the sleeve 18 is substantially less than the height of the moving knuckle 4a.
  • the diameter of the cylinder body 8 is at most equal to the diameter of the eyes of the knuckles 3a, 3b and 4a.
  • the thickness of the peripheral wall 9 and the constituent material of the cylinder body 8 are chosen so that the wall portion 9a can deform radially, while ensuring the braking and the integrity of the spindle 8.
  • the hinges 2a and 2b can be made of metal or a rigid plastic material. It's the same with the body of cylinder 8.
  • the mobile hinge 2b has only one movable knuckle 4a interposed between two fixed knuckles 3a and 3b of the fixed hinge 2a.
  • FIG. 6 shows an example of hinge 1 in which the fixed hinge 2a which has three fixed hinges referenced 3a, 3b and 3c and the mobile hinge 2b comprise two referenced mobile knuckles 4a and 4b.
  • the movable knuckle 4a is interposed between the fixed knuckles 3a and 3b
  • the moving knuckle 4b is interposed between the fixed knuckles 3b and 3c.
  • the screw 12 is identical to the screw described in the embodiment previous. It is the same with the pusher 16. As we see on the 6, a rigid spacer 21 threaded on the shaft 12 is interposed between two sleeves 18a and 18b of elastomeric material.
  • the spacer 21 is arranged facing the intermediate fixed knuckle 3b.
  • the tightening of the screw 12 here causes the compression of the two sleeves 18a and 18b and the expansion of the cylindrical wall portions 9a, 9b disposed opposite the moving knuckles 4a and 4b.
  • the body of cylinder 8 has only one axial rib 19a.
