Abstract

Support accessory for a hinge (12) to articulate a movable structure (13) with respect to a fixed frame (11), and relative method of construction. The support accessory comprises, in a single piece, at least a base body (15), able to be attached to the frame (11) and on which at least a housing seating (23, 25) is made for an attachment component (27, 29) to attach the hinge (12), and a clamping element (16) able to selectively clamp the attachment component (27, 29) in the housing seating (23, 25).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention concerns a support accessory for a hinge for mobile elements like doors or windows or wings of furniture, generally called a retainer. In the following description, the term wing should be taken to mean any movable structure intended to close an aperture, whether it be of a casing, as in the case of mobile elements, or of a piece of furniture. To be more exact, the support accessory according to the present invention consists of a single component, advantageously made by means of molding, and able to support and clamp the hinge in its seating with respect to the fixed frame of the piece of furniture or to the casing to which it is applied.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Support accessories for hinges are known, called retainers, which allow to attach a hinge to a fixed frame of a piece of furniture or a casing, in the event that said frame cannot support the weight of the wing because of its consistency or structure, especially in correspondence with the zones where the pegs or threaded elements of the hinge are able to be inserted.
Support accessories are generally attached to a lateral surface of the fixed frame, so that they can be anchored.
Known support accessories are also provided with one or more housing seatings, inside which the pegs or threaded stems of the hinge are inserted and clamped, so that the weight of the wing is transferred onto them.
Although known support accessories are functionally very simple, they do however consist of different components, generally five, which are: a bracket that is attached to the lateral surface of the frame, and which comprises the housing seatings for the pegs, or the threaded pins of the hinge; a clamping platelet and an associated tightening screw to clamp the pegs, or the threaded pins of the hinge inside the housing seatings; an elastic ring located between the bracket and the clamping platelet; and a threaded element which can also be welded or riveted onto the bracket, or main body, and which allows the tightening screw to be tightened.
The high number of components makes known support accessories rather complex and costly to produce, however.
Documents EP-A-1.134.342, DE-A-3.630.234, GB-A-2.061.375 and WO-A-99/64749 disclose different hinges or hinge accessories of the above-mentioned type.
One purpose of the present invention is to make a support accessory for a hinge for mobile elements, or wings of furniture, which is simple and consists of the fewest number of components possible, and which at the same time is robust, safe and reliable.
The Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art, and to obtain this and other purposes and advantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is set forth and characterized in the main claims, while the dependent claims describe other characteristics of the invention or variants to the main inventive idea.
In accordance with the aforesaid purpose, the support accessory according to the present invention, able to support an articulation hinge for a structure movable with respect to a fixed frame, comprises at least a base body, able to be attached to said frame and on which at least two housing seatings parallel therebetween are made for lodging two corresponding attachment components to attach the hinge, and a clamping element able to selectively clamp said attachment components in said housing seatings.
According to a characteristic feature of the present invention, both said base body and said clamping element are made from a single metal plate, said two housing seatings are disposed laterally with respect to a median flat part, and said clamping element is obtained by cutting and bending by 180° a median portion of said base body aligned with said median flat part, so as to form a joining segment which allows said clamping element to elastically move from a rest position substantially parallel to said median flat part to a clamping position wherein said clamping element presses and clamps said attachment components against the relative housing seatings.
According to one form of embodiment of the present invention, the clamping element comprises a platelet made by punching so as to have a segment that remains permanently connected to the remaining part of the base body. Such segment is then bent by 180° so that the clamping element is normally arranged, in a rest position, substantially parallel to the remaining part of the base body, and allows to insert the attachment component into the relative housing seating.
The bent segment allows the clamping element to bend elastically towards the base body.
Moreover, the support accessory comprises tightening means, such as for example a screw that screws onto the base body or the clamping element, so as to take the clamping element to a closed position, wherein it clamps the attachment component into the housing seating.
In this way, the support accessory according to the present invention consists of a single bent element able to grip and clamp the attachment components of the hinge so as to directly support the weight of the wing.
The presence of a single component, apart from the tightening screw, leads to a reduction in costs and both production and installation steps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERENTIAL FORM OF EMBODIMENT
With reference to fig. 1, a support accessory 10 according to the present invention is attached to a lateral surface of a fixed frame 11 to support a hinge 12, of the type able to articulate a mobile wing 13 with respect to the fixed frame 11.
To be more exact, the support accessory 10 according to the present invention comprises, made in a single piece and starting advantageously from a single metal plate, a base bracket 15, shaped by bending, as better described herein after, and a clamping platelet 16 (figs. 2, 3 and 4). The clamping platelet 16 is maintained elastically fixed to the base bracket 15 by a joining segment 17, bent by 180°, so as the same clamping platelet 16 is, at rest, substantially parallel to the base bracket 15.
The base bracket 15 comprises two supporting fins 19 and 20 able during use to contact the lateral surface of the frame 11 (fig. 1) to which the accessory 10 is attached. Each of these fins 19, 20 is provided with one or more through holes 21, in this case two, able to allow respective attachment screws 22 to be housed inside them, which determine the attachment of the accessory 10 to the frame 11.
The base bracket 15 also comprises in its median zone, between the two fins 19, 20, an aperture 18 having a substantially rectangular shape and which surface is substantially equal to those of said clamping platelet 16 and of said joining segment 17. The base bracket 15 also comprises a median flat part 14 and two lateral semi-circular seatings 23 and 25 (figs. 2, 3 and 4), obtained by bending ad able to accommodate mating attachment pegs, or threaded pins, 27 and 29 to attach the hinge 12. In the median flat part 14 of the base bracket 15 there is a threaded hole 26, the function of which will be described hereafter.
The clamping platelet 16 is shaped so as to have two lateral edges 30 and 31, arranged substantially in axis with the respective seatings 23 and 25, opposite thereto, and bent to define two clamping surfaces 32 and 33 able during use to contact the attachment pegs 27 and 29 in order to clamp the latter in the seatings 23 and 25.
On each of the clamping surfaces 32 and 33 an anti-slip toothing is advantageously provided (fig. 3).
The clamping platelet 16 also has a central zone 35, substantially plane and parallel to the median flat part 14 of the base bracket 15. On the central zone 35 a through hole 36 (fig. 4) is made, arranged substantially in axis with the threaded hole 26 made on the median flat part 14.
In this way, a tightening screw 37 (figs. 2 and 3) can be inserted through the through hole 36 and screwed into the threaded hole 26, so as to define a closed position of the clamping platelet 16, wherein the latter presses with a determinate pressure on the attachment pegs or pins 27 and 29, holding them inside the respective seatings 23 and 25.
When the clamping platelet 16 is in its closed position due to the effect of the tightening screw 37, the joining segment 17 is slightly deformed elastically. In the event that the pegs 27 and 29 have to be removed from the relative seatings 23 and 25, it is enough to loosen the tightening screw 37, and allow the clamping platelet 16 to return automatically to its initial position substantially parallel to the median flat part 14, due to the effect of the elasticity of the material in the joining segment 17. The distance "d" (fig. 4) between the joining segment 17 and the center of the through hole 36, on which the tightening screw 37 is inserted, is sufficient to grant a high elasticity to the clamping platelet 16 with respect to the base bracket 15, without mechanically stressing the joining segment 17.
Therefore, the support accessory 10 essentially comprises a single component, obtained by a single plate, and a tightening screw 37.
Advantageously, both the base bracket 15 and the clamping platelet 16 are made by means of a molding process starting from a single sheet or plate of metal material, advantageously a sheet of zinc-plated steel, or stainless steel or other metal.
In fact, a fist construction technique provides to make a step-wise molding of the starting plate.
In this case, this technique provides a first cutting step wherein a shape is cut on the plate, to define the aperture 18 by cutting three of its four sides and leaving uncut a segment of its fourth side; a second bending step wherein such shape is bent by 180° along the uncut segment, which define the joining segment 17, until it becomes the clamping platelet 16, substantially parallel to the median flat part 14 of the starting plate, or base bracket 15; and a shaping and finishing step wherein the semi-circular seatings 23 and 25, the supporting fins 19 and 20, the clamping surfaces 32, 33 and the holes 26 and 36 are made.
It is clear, however, that modifications and/or additions of parts can be made to the support accessory 10 as described heretofore, without departing from the field and scope of the present invention.
According to a variant, the support accessory 10 can be molded by means of the pressure die-casting technique.
It is also clear that, although the present invention has been described with reference to specific examples, a person of skill in the art shall certainly be able to achieve many other equivalent forms of support accessory for a hinge for mobile elements and the relative construction method, all of which shall come within the field and scope of the present invention.
