Definitions

  • the invention relates to a joint arrangement, in particular for a wall-mounted sanitary equipment, with at least one wall-mounted base part, a pivoting part which is rotatably supported by a bearing axis on the base part and in particular between a vertical and horizontal position is pivotable, and at least one between the base part and Swivel part connected and acting as a fall brake spring, against the restoring force of the pivot member is movable to its horizontal position.
  • joint arrangements are known, for example from DE 32 38 889 C2.
  • Such joint arrangements are used for example in wall-mounted folding seats or support flap handles.
  • a spring element is provided in the joint assembly, which is typically oriented such that the restoring force of the spring element counteracts the force of gravity.
  • the spring element acts upon pivoting of the folding seat or the support folding handle from a vertical position to a horizontal position as a case brake and prevents the pivoting part in its downward movement excessively accelerated-and accordingly causes a risk of injury.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a hinge assembly with higher security and to improve a hinge assembly of the type mentioned in that a reliable function of the spring is permanently guaranteed.
  • the joint arrangement according to claim 1 is distinguished from a joint arrangement of the type mentioned above in that the restoring force of the spring is adjustable.
  • the restoring force of the spring can be adapted to the external circumstances at any time.
  • the spring can be retightened, i. increase the restoring force, if, for example, by frequent movement of the pivoting part, a fatigue of the spring, i. a decrease in the restoring force has occurred.
  • the targeted adjustment of the restoring force of the spring and in particular by a retightening of the spring can be provided at any time for the desired restoring force of the spring. Thereby, a predetermined restoring force of the spring can be permanently ensured and fatigue of the spring can be compensated.
  • a joint arrangement according to the invention is more versatile.
  • no longer different, exactly matched springs must be used for differently sized pivoting parts. Rather, can be equipped with the same feathers equipped joint assemblies according to the invention in Use connection with different sized and especially different heavy swing parts.
  • the restoring force of the spring can be exactly adapted to the weight of the pivoting part only after the assembly of the folding seat or the support folding handle. In this case, for example, a smaller restoring force can be set for a light pivoting part and a greater restoring force can be set for a comparatively heavy pivoting part.
  • Different folding seats or support folding handles can therefore be equipped with joint arrangements according to the invention of the same type and in particular with the same spring type. As a result, the number of required for equipping different folding seats or folding handles joint arrangements can be reduced and the production of such folding seats or folding handles can be simplified and made cheaper.

  12. Agencement d'articulation selon l'une des revendications 9 à 11,
    caractérisé en ce que
    la force de rappel du ressort spiralé (222) est susceptible d'être augmentée par un mouvement de la partie pivotante, des échancrures (264, 244, 284) étant prévues de préférence dans au moins une branche (256), dans le recouvrement (246) et dans le boîtier à ressort (220), qui sont susceptibles d'être ajustées les unes par rapport aux autres de telle sorte que les branches (256) et le boîtier à ressort (220) sont susceptibles d'être arrêtés les uns par rapport aux autres au moyen d'un outil mené à travers les échancrures (264, 244, 284), de sorte que suite à un mouvement de la partie pivotante le boîtier à ressort (220) est déplaçable par rapport au dispositif d'enclenchement (232, 234, 236) et que suite à une rotation du boîtier à ressort (220) par rapport aux blocs de support (212, 214), la force de rappel du ressort spiralé (222) est susceptible d'être augmentée.
  13. Agencement d'articulation, en particulier pour un objet d'équipement sanitaire à support mural, comportant
    au moins une partie socle (310, 312, 314) susceptible d'être montée sur un mur,
