Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns a hinge for mobile elements, for example for doors, main doors, windows or suchlike, or for wings of items of furniture. In the following text, the term wing shall be taken to mean any mobile structure intended to close an aperture, whether of a fixture, as in the case of doors or windows, or of an item of furniture. The hinge according to the invention is provided with a mechanism that allows to adjust the height of the wing with respect to the fixed frame to which it is applied. Such mechanism can be applied both in hinges with two elements, of the male-female type, and also in hinges with three elements rotating around a central pivot. According to the invention, a bushing is screwed to one of the elements of the hinge, advantageously the lower one. The bushing is screwed in, or unscrewed, by acting directly on the central pivot, to adjust the position in height of one element with respect to the other.
- It is known that, to allow the selective opening and closing of wings, such as doors, main doors, gates, windows or other structures mobile with respect to a fixed frame, especially if they are particularly heavy, such as for example reinforced doors, hinges are used which are formed by three coaxial elements hinged on a single central pivot.
- The element arranged in the central position is usually attached to the wing, while the two elements arranged laterally, respectively one above and one below the central one, are attached to the frame of the fixture. More rarely, the connection between the three elements is inverted, so that the central one is attached to the fixed frame and the lateral ones are attached to the wing.
- One of the shortcomings of such known hinges is that, to allow the central element to be adjusted in height, in order to distance the base of the wing from the floor or from the base of the piece of furniture, spacer washers are arranged between the lower element and the central element in order to raise the latter by some millimeters.
- The aforesaid adjustment, however, involves at least partly removing the pivot, lifting the wing, inserting one or more spacer washers between the lower element and the central element, and re-assembling the whole.
- Another disadvantage of this known adjustment system is that the washers have particular thicknesses and the adjustment in height can occur only for defined increases and not continuously, with a consequent impreciseness of the adjustment itself.
- A simpler hinge is also known, with only two, male-female elements, which is provided with an integrated adjustment mechanism, comprising an adjustment bushing screwed onto the lower element. In this known hinge the adjustment bushing is provided with an annular part on which the upper element rests.
- In this way, by acting radially on the annular part the adjustment bushing is screwed or unscrewed with respect to the lower element, thus determining an axial movement of the upper element and consequently the wing is lifted or lowered with respect to the floor, or with respect to the base of the item of furniture.
- The radial action on the edge of the adjustment bushing is difficult to carry out, and in some cases needs specific tools. Moreover, due to the generally limited spaces between the hinge and the door frame, and the limited size of the hinge itself, the operator is obliged to make many, brief radial actions which considerably increase the time needed to perform a simple operation, such as adjusting the height of the wing with respect to the floor, or to the base of the piece of furniture.
- One purpose of the present invention is to achieve a hinge, with one or two elements, for mobile elements or suchlike, which is provided with a mechanism to adjust the height of the mobile element or suchlike, which is simple and economical to make and at the same time allows to adjust, with maximum precision, the height of the wing simply and quickly, in order to reduce the times and costs of the operators' intervention.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to achieve a hinge for mobile elements or suchlike, whose adjustment mechanism does not provide the use of specific tools in order to actuate it.
- The Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain other purposes and advantages.
- The present invention is set forth and characterized in the main claim, while the dependent claims describe other innovative characteristics of the invention or variants to the idea of the main embodiment.
- In accordance with the aforesaid purposes, the hinge for fixtures according to the present invention comprises a couple of hinge elements able to be fixed together to the mobile structure or to the fixed frame, and a central hinge element disposed between the couple of hinge elements and able to be fixed to the fixed frame or, respectively, to the mobile structure. Said three hinge elements are axially hinged therebetween by means of a pivoting element inserted in corresponding axial holes thereof. An intermediate element, provided with a through axial hole, is disposed between the a central hinge element and a first hinge element of the couple of hinge elements, coaxial to the pivoting element, for regulating the reciprocal axial position of the couple of hinge elements with respect to the central hinge element.
- According to a feature of the present invention, the said intermediate element comprises a bushing having at least a substantially cylindrical portion externally threaded, which is screwed on a corresponding internal thread provided in one of the axial holes of said first hinge element or of said central hinge element; moreover said bushing is provided in its axial hole with first coupling means able to couple, without reciprocal rotation, with second coupling means provided on the pivoting element in order to command, by means of the rotation of said pivoting element, the selective screwing or unscrewing of the bushing with respect to the first hinge element or to the central hinge element on which said bushing is screwed, whereby causing the reciprocal axial movement of the couple of hinge elements with respect to the central hinge element.
- The pivoting element is also provided with at least a radial protuberance, which is able to interfere elastically with a wall of the hole of one of the elements, to determine the clamping thereof during the normal functioning of the hinge.
- With the hinge according to the present invention it is possible to adjust the distance between the various elements, and consequently the position of the wing with respect to its fixed frame, by acting directly on the pivoting element, before the latter is clamped inside the holes of the hinge elements.
- Moreover, the adjustment can be made with any type of known tool, for example an Allen key able to operate in a hexagonal hollow made on the head of the pivoting element.
- Alternately, the pivoting element can be provided with a knurling, a transverse notch made on the head, or otherwise.
- These and other characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferential form of embodiment, given as a non-restrictive example, with reference to the attached drawings wherein:
- fig. 1 is an exploded view of a hinge for fixtures according to the present invention;
- fig. 2 is a lateral view, partly in section, of the hinge in fig. 1 in its assembled condition.
- With reference to figs. 1 and 2, a
hinge 10 according to the present invention for awing 11 comprises afirst hinge element 12, asecond hinge element 13 and athird hinge element 15, mounted rotatable axially on acentral pivot 16. - The
first hinge element 12 and thethird hinge element 15 form a couple of hinge elements which is able to be fixed together to afixed frame 22 with respect to which thewing 10 has to be hinged, while thesecond hinge element 13 is able to be disposed centrally between the couple ofhinge elements wing 11. Of course, the couple ofhinge elements wing 11, while the second, or central,hinge element 13 can be fixed to thefixed frame 22. - More in particular, the
first hinge element 12 is arranged below thecentral hinge element 13 and comprises atubular body 19 provided with an axially threaded throughhole 20 and with an external radial threadedpin 21, transversal to the axis of the threaded throughhole 20 and by means of which the samefirst hinge element 12 can be fixed to thefixed frame 22, or to the wing, as explained above. - The
central hinge element 13 comprises a tubular body 23 provided with an axial throughhole 25 having a larger diameter than that of thepivot 16. In fact, at the ends of thethrough hole 25 are provided twoanti-friction brasses 24 which improve the conditions of reciprocal axial rotatability between thecentral hinge element 13 and thepivot 16. Bearings or other anti-friction elements of any suitable material and shape may be provided instead of thebrasses 24, provided that this is not essential for the present invention. Moreover, on the circular outer surface of the tubular body 23, a radial threadedpin 26 is also provided, which is able to allow to attach thecentral hinge element 13 to thewing 11, or to thefixed frame 22, as explained above. - The
third hinge element 15 is arranged above thecentral hinge element 13 and comprises atubular body 27 provided with an axial throughhole 29 with a diameter mating with that of thepivot 16 and with an external radial threadedpin 30, identical to thepin 21, and able to allow to attach the samethird hinge element 15, together with thefirst hinge element 12, to thefixed frame 22, or to the wing, as explained above. - The
third hinge element 15 can also comprise, possibly, atransversal hole 37 inside which a clampinggrub screw 39 is able to be screwed with a blocking function. - The
hinge 10 also comprises a substantiallycylindrical bushing 17 which has an external threadedportion 17a axially screwed to the threaded throughhole 20 of thefirst hinge element 12. Thebushing 17 is also provided with an axial throughhole 35 having aportion 35a provided with a polygonal transversal section, for example hexagonal. - The
pivot 16 is substantially cylindrical, except for one lower end which comprises ashaped segment 31, with a polygonal transversal section, for example hexagonal, able to cooperate during use with themating portion 35a of thethrough hole 35 of thebushing 17, in order to avoid any reciprocal rotation between thepivot 16 and thebushing 17. - The
pivot 16 is also provided at one upper end with one or more radial protuberances 34 which interfere elastically with the throughhole 29 of thethird element 15 in order to determine the clamping of thepivot 16 itself with respect to theelements hinge 10. - The radial protuberances 34 can be made either by molding or by mechanical deformation of the upper end of the
pivot 16, for example as described in the European Patent application EP-A-1030020 in the name of the same Applicant hereof. - At the upper end of the
pivot 16 there is also adead hole 32, on whosebottom wall 32a there is in turn apolygonal seating 33, for example hexagonal, functioning as an interface, to allow to insert a suitable tool, for example a mating Allen key, with which it is possible to act easily on thepivot 16 in order to determine, as will be explained hereafter, the adjustment of thesecond element 13 with respect to thefirst element 12 and thethird element 15. - The
bushing 17 further comprises atransversal shoulder 36 which cooperates by contact with an edge of thecentral hinge element 13 to move it axially upwards or downwards with respect to thefirst hinge element 12. - The functioning of the
hinge 10 described is as follows. - First of all the
bushing 17 is screwed, at least partially, inside thehole 20 of thefirst hinge element 12. This operation is advantageously performed in the factory, so that the operator who has to install thehinge 10 on site will find thebushing 17 already screwed into thefirst hinge element 12. - Then both the first and
third hinge elements fixed frame 22, by means of their threadedpins hinge elements central hinge element 13 between the couple ofhinge elements - The
central hinge element 13 is then positioned axially, having been previously attached to thewing 11 by means of its own threadedpin 26, between the couple ofhinge elements - Then the
pivot 16 is inserted inside the throughholes shaped segment 31 is inserted inside the mating shapedportion 35a of thethrough hole 35 of thebushing 17. - By inserting a suitable key inside the
seating 33 and rotating thepivot 16 in one direction or the other, thebushing 17 is either screwed or unscrewed on thefirst hinge element 12, with a consequent upwards or downwards movement of thecentral hinge element 13 and of the wing attached thereto, with respect to the couple ofhinge elements fixed frame 22. - Once the operations to regilate the position of the
central hinge element 13 with respect to the other twohinge elements pivot 16 is completely inserted forcefully inside thehole 29, so that the protuberances 34 cooperate elastically with the inner surfaces of thehole 29, in order to exclude possible axial and radial movements of thepivot 16. - It is clear, however, that modifications and/or additions of parts may be made to the
hinge 10 as described heretofore, without departing from the field and scope of the present invention. - For example, according to a variant, the
shaped segment 31 could be fork-shaped and cooperate with a mating seating made in thebushing 17, or have any other type of shaping which prevents the reciprocal rotation between thepivot 16 and one of thehinge elements hinge 10. - According to another variant, the
first hinge element 12 and thethird hinge element 15 can be connected to each other, with a pre-determined distance, by means of a plate element, not shown in the drawings, provided with through holes, inside which respective attachment screws are able to be inserted, which determine the attachment of the couple ofhinge elements frame 22, thus replacing the threaded pins 21 and 30. - According to another variant the
bushing 17 could be screwed to thecentral hinge element 13 or to thethird hinge element 15. - It is also clear that, although the invention has been described with reference to specific examples, a skilled person in the art shall be able to achieve many other equivalent forms of hinge for wings, all of which shall come within the field and scope of the invention.
