Description

Door or window hinge

Description:

The invention relates to a door or window hinge, in which two hinge parts are rotatably operatively connected to one another about a common hinge axis, at least one hinge part having a tab which can be pushed into a hinge pocket, this hinge in the hinge pocket being pivotable and pivotable about an axis pin aligned parallel to the hinge axis is fixable in its adjustable pivoting position and the tab engages around the axle bolt.

Door and window hinges of this type have become known in some design variants (e.g. DE4431799C1 or DE4307067C2). In these designs, a three-dimensionally adjustable door or window hinge is sought, in which the hinge part fastened to the frame has a roller flap which is guided so as to be displaceable in a holding piece. The holding piece is rotatable in the belt pocket about a swivel axis and is displaceably adjustable in height thereon. To adjust the height, the holding piece is moved along with the roller tab on the swivel axis. An eccentric is used to adjust the swivel position, which engages in a vertical slot in the roller lobe. This does not guarantee self-locking. For this purpose, additional screws have to be used to fix the holding piece and the roller tab in the set position.

A door or window hinge of the type mentioned is known from US 56 94 665. This known hinge no longer requires an eccentric adjustment, but self-locking is not guaranteed.

The present invention has for its object to make a door or window hinge of the type mentioned structurally simpler and, above all, to create a three-dimensional setting in a simple manner, in a self-locking manner and also in the assembled state of the hinge ,

According to the invention, this is achieved in a door or window hinge of the type mentioned at the outset in that the tab is connected to the axle pin in a non-displaceable manner in the axial direction, the axle pin and the tab being held vertically adjustable together in the belt pocket and in that a tab is held horizontally displaceable relative to the tab Adjustment part encompasses the axle bolt in a form-fitting manner and is self-locking in its adjustment position. These measures according to the invention ensure that the horizontal adjustment can already be designed to be self-locking. Eccentric adjustment is therefore no longer required, and this self-locking is practically provided by the use of a displaceable adjustment part. It also proves to be very advantageous that the axle bolt, along with the rag and the adjustment part, also takes part in the height adjustment. There is therefore no need for any additional clamping elements to secure the set position after each adjustment.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention form the subject of the subclaims.

It is proposed that the tab engaging in the hinge pocket have at its end region facing away from the hinge axis a through opening for receiving the axle pin, which is designed in cross section as an elongated hole parallel to its plane and extending in the axial direction of the axle pin, the dimension the cross section of the elongated hole on its narrow side corresponds at least approximately to the diameter of the section of the axle bolt which is passed through the elongated hole. In this way, the tab can be shifted transversely to the axle pin practically in the plane of the tab if there is a corresponding shifting of the adjusting part, which cannot move relative to the axle pin. The formation of an elongated hole creates a simple possibility of displacement, but nevertheless prevents the tab from tilting to the side.

Another advantageous measure is seen in the fact that the end region of the flap facing away from the hinge axis has two bearing lugs which are oriented parallel and at a distance and have the through-openings, the adjusting part which engages positively around the axle bolt being displaceable transversely to the alignment of the axle bolt and being displaceable in it between these two bearing lugs set position is self-locking. A compact mutual unit can thus be created, similar to two interacting hinge parts in the area of the hinge axis. Here, however, there is no pivoting movement between the tab and the adjustment part with respect to the axle pin.

A simple design variant results if an adjustment screw which can be actuated in the installed position of the tab in the belt pocket acts on the adjustment part. An Verstellsch raube is always to be regarded as a self-locking adjusting element if this can be arranged in a horizontal position and practically only serves for the displaceable adjustment of parts.

An advantageous measure can be seen in the fact that the adjusting screw lies in the plane guided by the axle bolt and the hinge axis and can be actuated with a screwing tool via a bore through the hinge part and the hinge axis. This special design enables subsequent adjustment without additional loosening of the tensioning elements when the door or window is suspended. Particularly advantageous elements are possible with a door or window attached. Particularly advantageous is the possibility created by the invention of making adjustment via the hinge axis, specifically transverse to its longitudinal extension, accessible.

A further special measure provides that the axle bolt has a stop collar, the diameter of which is larger than the width of the elongated hole for receiving the section of the axle bolt lying between the stop collars, matched at the end regions to the height of the flap measured in the axial direction. This creates an optimal stability of the connection between the axle pin and the tab. It is therefore also impossible for the flap to tilt in its plane. On the one hand, these stop collars act as clamping elements and, on the other hand, as an adjustment part which is slidably fitted between the bearing eyes of the tab.

So that an exact adaptation of the stop collars to the flap and thus to the bearing eyes of the flap is possible, it is provided that the distance between the two stop collars can be adjusted to the height of the flap measured in the axial direction. It is therefore possible to compensate for any incorrect dimensions of the flap even when installing a hinge.

In this context, it is proposed that at least one of the stop collars is formed by a sleeve placed on a threaded section at the end of the axle bolt. As a result, the distance between the stop collars can be easily adjusted to the height of the flap measured in the axial direction.

So that good sliding guidance of the axle bolt in the belt pocket is made possible, it is advantageous if the stop collars are formed by bolt-like sections at the ends of the axle bolt, which engage in bores in the belt pocket and are axially displaceable in these bores.

An advantageous variant of the invention provides that to adjust the swivel position of the flap in the belt pocket, an adjusting screw is provided which is accessible from the surface of the belt pocket and which is inserted into a flap engaging in the flap by means of a thread engagement and is held axially immovably in the belt pocket , It is thus also the adjusting movement of the unit formed from the rag and the adjusting part around the axle bolt, since here too there is a screw engaging in a thread which cannot turn itself. Nevertheless, it is always possible to readjust without having to loosen the locking elements or locking screws beforehand.

Another embodiment provides that an adjustment bolt which is accessible from the hinge axis is provided for adjusting the swivel position of the tab in the hinge pocket, which rather engages in an eccentric disc. This also made this setting possible from the hinge side.

Particularly in connection with the other adjustment options of the hinge according to the invention, an advantageous measure is seen in the fact that the tab is supported within the belt pocket by a supporting part, which can be adjusted in height by means of an adjustment screw that can be operated from outside the belt pocket. The third adjustment option for a three-dimensional adjustment of a hinge has thus also been created in a particularly simple manner, it being possible for all measures to be carried out without first releasing locking parts and always from the outside with the door and window installed.

Here, too, another embodiment variant provides for the adjustment to be carried out from the side of the hinge axis. For this purpose, it is proposed that the tab be supported within the belt pocket by means of a supporting part, which can be adjusted in height relative to the belt pocket by means of an adjusting screw that can be operated from the hinge axis of the belt pocket. This means that all adjustment options can be carried out from the hinge axis.

It is also advantageous if the tab is arranged on the central section of a hinge roller that surrounds the hinge axis. As a result, the tab engaging in the band pocket can be made structurally simpler. In addition, this results in improved possibilities for arranging the bore for the accessibility of the tool for actuating the screw for the adjusting part.

Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail in the following description with reference to the drawings. Show it:

In the case of doors or windows, hinges 1 are used in which two hinge parts 2, 3 are operatively connected to one another so as to be rotatable about a common hinge axis 4. At least one hinge part 2 has a tab 6 which can be inserted into a band pocket 5. The tab 6 can be pivoted in the belt pocket 5 about an axis pin 7 oriented parallel to the hinge axis 4 and can be fixed in its adjustable pivoting position. It is a three-dimensionally adjustable hinge, the adjustment being possible in all three predetermined directions when the hinge is installed and therefore also with the door or window already inserted.

The tab 6 engages around the axle pin 7 and is connected to it in an axially displaceable manner. As a result, the axle pin 7 and the tab 6 can be adjusted in height together in the belt pocket. An adjustment part 8 held horizontally displaceably with respect to the tab 6 encompasses the axle bolt 7 in a form-fitting manner and can be fixed in a self-locking manner in its adjustment position.

The tab 6 engaging in the band pocket 5 has a through opening 9 at its end area facing away from the hinge axis 4 for receiving the axle pin 7. This through opening 9 is designed in cross section as an elongated hole oriented parallel to the plane of the flap 7 and extending in the axial direction of the axle bolt 7, the dimension A of the elongated hole-like cross section of the through opening 9 on its narrow side being at least approximately the diameter D of the section passed through the through opening 9 B of the axle pin 7 corresponds. The end region of the flap 6 facing away from the hinge axis 4 has two bearing lugs 10, 11 which are aligned parallel and at a distance and which have the passage opening 9, with the adjusting part 8 which engages positively around the axle bolt 7 transversely to the alignment of the axle bolt between these two bearing lugs 10, 11 7 is slidable and self-locking in its set position.

The adjustment part 8 can be actuated in the installed position of the tab 6 in the belt pocket 5 by means of an adjustment screw 12 acting on it. This adjusting screw 12 lies in the plane guided by the axle pin 7 and the hinge axis 4 and can be actuated by means of a screwing tool via a bore 13 guided through the hinge part 2 and thus in the plane of the flap 6 through this and through the hinge axis 4.

At its end regions, the axle pin 7 has a stop collar 14, 15, which is matched to the height of the flap 6 measured in the axial direction and thus to the section B. The diameter D1 of the stop collars 14, 15 is larger than the width A of the slot-like through opening 9. It is thus aligned between these stop collars 14, 15 and thus in section B of the axle pin 7 of the tabs and held immovably with respect to the axle pin. It is therefore only possible to adjust the axle pin 7, tab 6 and adjustment part 8 together in this axis direction in the belt pocket 5.

It is important to be able to adjust the distance between the two stop collars 14, 15 to the height of the flap 6 measured in the axial direction. A variant is provided if at least one of the stop collars 14 or 15 is formed by a sleeve 17 placed on a threaded section 16 at the end of the axle bolt 7. It is thus possible to achieve a type of fit between the axle pin 7 and thus the stop collars 14, 15 provided there and the bearing eyes 10, 11 of the flap 6 located therebetween by more or less screwing in the sleeve 17. Since the adjusting part 8 encompasses the section B of the axle pin 7 in the area of the diameter D in a form-fitting manner, the adjusting part 8 is displaceably guided in an incision 18 in the flap 6 and the flap 6 is supported on the outer sides of the bearing eyes 10, 11, a tilting movement of the Lappens 6 compared to the axle pin 7 excluded. An exact mounting of the tab 6 in the belt pocket 5 can thus be ensured even with a corresponding load and also in any adjustment position.

In the example shown, the stop collars 14, 15 are formed by bolt-like sections 19, 20 which are provided at the ends of the axle bolt 7. One section 20 is formed by the attached sleeve 17. The axle bolt 7 engages with the sections 19, 20 in bores 21, 22 in the belt pocket 5 and is held axially displaceably in these bores. An adjustment screw 23 accessible from the surface of the belt pocket 5 is provided for adjusting the swivel position of the tab 6 in the belt pocket 5. This is inserted into a threaded bore 25 of a tab 24 and is held immovably in the band pocket 5 in the axial direction thereof. The tab 24 engages in a recess 26 on the tab 6. When the adjusting screw 23 is turned, the tab 6 is thus pivoted about the axis of the axle bolt 7. The new adjustment position is secured without additional locking elements, since the adjustment screw cannot turn itself. Since the recess 26 is wider than the width B1 of the tab 24 when viewed in the plane of the tab 6, this adjustment range can easily follow an adjustment of the tab 6 in the plane of the tab 6. Then only the tab 24 moves in the recess 26.

For the height adjustment of the hinge, that is to say for the height adjustment of the flap 6 inserted into the band pocket 5, a carrying part 27 is provided within the band pocket 5, on which the flap 6 is supported. A height adjustment of the supporting part 27 and thus also of the flap 6 can be achieved via an adjusting screw 28 which can be operated from outside the belt pocket 5 by means of a known type of two inclined surfaces which are operatively connected to one another.

It can be seen from the drawing that the tab 6 is arranged on the hinge roller 30 surrounding the central section 29 of the hinge axis 4. The two outer sections 31, 32 are assigned to the second hinge part 3. This construction is advantageous in that it always ensures accessibility through the bore 13. In this construction, it is also important that the bolt forming the hinge axis 4 is formed by two bolt elements 33, 34. These two bolt elements 33 and 34 are inserted into the hinge roller 30 from above and from below. There is thus a gap between the two inner ends 35, which allows access to the adjusting screw 12. There can therefore never be an adjustment between a bolt forming the hinge axis and a bore in the section 29 of the hinge roller 30.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 11 to 14, even shorter bolt elements 33 and 34 are used, since even more space has to be created in order to provide access to the adjustment elements, all of which are to be actuated from the hinge axis 4 here.

In this embodiment, a door or window hinge for adjusting the pivotal position of the flap 6 in the tape pocket 5 is one of the charm ^'erachse 4 ago accessible adjusting bolt 41 is provided which engages in an eccentric disc 40th By rotating the adjusting bolt 41, the eccentric disk 40 is rotated, so that the tab 6 is rotated about the axle bolt 7. The possible thread engagement between the adjusting bolt 41 and the tab 6 results in a self-locking holder. Furthermore, it is provided in this embodiment that the tab 6 is supported within the belt pocket 5 via a support part 42. In this case, this supporting part can be adjusted in height relative to the belt pocket 5 via an adjustment screw 43 which can be operated from the hinge axis 4 of the belt pocket 5.

All adjustment elements are therefore accessible from the hinge axis 4 via corresponding bores 44, this area of the flap 6 and thus also the bores 44 being able to be covered by means of an attachable sleeve 45. This sleeve 45 can be applied for design reasons or also additionally for reasons of security against unauthorized adjustment.

11 to 14, no lateral holes in the door or window frame are required, since all adjustments from the front (from the hinge axis) are possible. A self-locking adjustment lock is therefore provided for all adjustment elements. For a particularly smooth operation and a long service life of door or window hinges, provision can also be made to use bearing sleeves 46, 47 made of a suitable material, that is to say also made of plastic, in the area of the flap 6 for the bolt elements used.

It has been assumed in the description that the special configuration is only present in one hinge part 2. However, it would also be conceivable to design both hinge parts 2 and 3 with corresponding tabs 6 and band pockets 5. In general, however, this would be an unnecessary complication, since the three-dimensional control options are sufficient for a hinge part 2 - and advantageously for the hinge part assigned to the frame.
