Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an adjustable door hinge, in particular for heavy metal door units, that is to say, reinforced door units that are heavier than standard interior door units.
  • hinges used for door units of this type must also satisfy special security requirements and, in this aspect too, differ from those usually used on standard door units (for interiors).
  • hinges must have a larger and stronger structure, not only because they have to support the heavy weight of the door but also because the screws used to fix the hinges have to be covered by special tamper-proof plates.
  • the hinges normally consist of two hinge bodies, usually of aluminium or an aluminium alloy, one attachable to the mobile frame of the door unit and one attachable to the fixed frame, and a steel hinge pin that can be inserted into respective through holes in the two hinge bodies with interposed centring bushes (usually made of self-lubricating plastic).
  • a collar made as a single piece with the hinge pin itself, and larger in diameter than the through holes in the hinge bodies so as to prevent the pin from coming out of the holes in the hinge bodies (see also patent IT-1.221.237 to the same Applicant).
  • the hinge bodies have flaps by which the hinge is secured to the door unit and which are crossed, perpendicularly to the hinge pin, by robust screws whose heads are accommodated in respective recesses made in the hinge flaps themselves.
  • the hinge flaps present guides defining seats for respective caps that slide in a direction parallel with the hinge pin.
  • the caps fully cover the screw heads and form a surface that smoothly connects both with the cylindrical portion of the hinge in which the hole that accommodates the respective bush is made, and with the free end of the hinge flap extending from the cylindrical portion and including the cap guides.
  • the above mentioned bushes usually consist of a cylindrical element closed at one end and a collar located at the open end. They also have an axial hole, offset relative to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical element, and a series of protrusions or teeth, usually located on the outside of the bush and designed to fit in respective grooves made inside the holes in the hinge bodies so as to secure the bush-pin assembly in a stable position relative to the cylindrical element.
  • the shape of the bushes enables the axis of the hinge pin to be moved relative to the axis of the hole that accommodates the bush-pin assembly, thereby adjusting the position of the mobile frame of the door unit relative to the fixed frame.
  • the Applicant devised an adjustable door hinge with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and disclosed in patent EP 992.647 , in which the bush has an outer radial protrusion that engages in a matching notch made in the inside surface of the hole in the hinge body so as to form a pivot point that allows a pendular movement of the bush in both directions as one with the pin it accommodates, this pendular movement being produced by an adjustment device actuated from the outside.
  • This adjustment device comprises a screw positioned transversally with respect to the pin and bush and designed to engage with the pin or the bush or both.
  • the hinge is supplied ready-assembled, for example for right-hand opening doors, and when a left-hand opening door has to be installed, the installer must completely dismantle all the components of the hinge (including bushes, pin, adjustment screw system, and so on), turn them by 180° and then reassemble them in the new position.
  • the present invention has for an aim to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages by providing a hinge for door units that has a simple structure and that is practical and easy to install.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide a hinge that is extremely easy to adjust.
  • the numeral 1 denotes a hinge according to the present invention, used in particular for "heavy" doors, such as exterior doors, main front doors, gates, etc.
  • the hinge labelled 1 in its entirety, comprises a first body 2 and a second body 3 attachable, respectively, to a mobile frame of a door unit and to a fixed frame of a door unit (not illustrated since they are of well known type and do not fall within the scope of this invention) by means of respective flaps 4 and 5 that accommodate respective screw fixing means (also not illustrated).
  • the hinge 1 comprises a pin 6 for joining the two hinge bodies 2 and 3.
  • the pin 6 has a central axis A6 and can be inserted, with interposed first and second bushes cylindrical centring bushes 7 and 8, respectively upper and lower, into respective axial through holes 9 and 10 made in the first and second hinge bodies 2 and 3 and extending along respective longitudinal axes A9, A10.
  • the bushes 7, 8 have respective central axes A7, A8 which, when the bushes 7, 8 themselves are fitted inside the holes 9, 10 in the hinge bodies 2, 3, are parallel with the respective axes A9, A10 of the holes 9, 10 and coincide with the axis A6 of the pin 6.
  • the bush 8 is not illustrated or described in detail since it is of known type and does not strictly form part of the present invention.
  • the upper bush 7 comprises a first and a second radial protrusion 11 and 12 extending longitudinally parallel with the central axis A7.
  • the first and second protrusions 11, 12 of the upper bush 7 are located diametrically opposite each other and are shaped symmetrically about a plane passing through the above mentioned axis A7 of the bush 7 itself represented by a dashed line P in Figure 5 .
  • the hole 9 made in the upper hinge 1 body 2 comprises an inside face 9a in which there is a first recess 13 extending longitudinally for the entire axial extension of the hole 9 and in a direction parallel with the axis A9 of the hole 9 itself.
  • the first recess 13 has an inside surface that is substantially defined by a cylindrical sector.
  • the inside face 9a of the hole 9 has a second recess 14 also extending for the entire axial extension of the hole 9 and in a direction parallel with the first recess 13.
  • the second recess 14 has a central section positioned diametrically opposite the first recess 13.
  • the coupling between the bush 7 and the pin 6 is accomplished by a grooved profile 15 which constitutes hinge 1 engagement and locking means 16 designed to prevent the pin 6 and the bush 7 from rotating relative to each other about the axis A6.
  • the bush 7 has a blind hole 17 in which an upper portion 6a of the pin 6 is inserted.
  • the grooved profile 15 is made between the blind hole 17 and the upper portion 6a of the pin 6.
  • the hinge 1 comprises, between the first upper bush 7 and the related hole 9, an element 18 for adjusting the position of the hinge pin 6.
  • the adjustment element 18 is threaded so that it can be screwed into the pin 6 or the bush 7 or both.
  • the adjustment element 18 thus operates between the hole 10 and the assembly formed by the bush 7 and the pin 6, in such a way as to enable this assembly to move within the hole 9 while keeping the pin axis A6 parallel with the axis A9 of the hole 9.
  • the adjustment element 18 is screwed into the bush 7, which has a matching threaded hole made in it.
  • the adjustment element 18 may be screwed into a threaded hole made in the pin 6 and leading to the outside through appropriate openings made in the bush 7.
  • the openings in the bush are originally smaller in diameter than the adjustment element 18 so that when the hinge is installed they are deformed in such a way as to produce a self-locking action between the adjustment element 18 and the upper bush 7.
  • the threaded adjustment element 18 is screwed into the bush 7 before the pin 6-bush 7 assembly is inserted into the hole 9. In this way, the element 18 goes all the way inside the hole 9 and its end 18a is in contact with the curved inside face 9a of the hole 9, while its second end 18b partly faces a slot 19.
  • the slot 19 is arc-shaped, passes through the side wall of the hinge body 2 and is smaller in size than the second end 18b of the adjustment element 18. Through the slot 19, therefore, the adjustment element 18 can be moved in both directions from outside the hinge body 2, using a customary tool that is not illustrated.
  • the pin 6-bush 7 assembly is made to perform a pendular movement defined by the rotation of the assembly itself about an instantaneous axis of rotation R defined by the engagement of the protrusion 11, 12 with the first recess 13 (see arrows F, Figure 5 ).
  • the engagement of the protrusion 11, 12 in the first recess 13 instantaneously defines an axis of rotation R parallel with the central axis A7 of the bush and the pin 6-bush 7 assembly is made to rotate instantaneously about the axis A7 by the rotation of the adjustment element 18.
  • the first recess 13 has an inside surface 13a defined and delimited by a cylindrical sector.
  • first and second protrusions 11, 12 each have two rounded portions 20, shown more clearly in the drawings only on the protrusion 12, these rounded portions 20 being designed to engage with the cylindrical sector of the inside surface 13a of the first recess 13, thereby forming a substantially cylindrical joint between the hinge body 2 and the bush 7 attached to the pin 6.
  • the plates 21 and 23 are clearly illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 .
  • Caps 25 are provided to cover the free ends of the holes 9 and 10 in the hinge bodies 2 and 3.
  • Figure 9 illustrates a prior art hinge comprising a bush 7 having only one protrusion 11.
  • the parts of the prior art hinge of Figure 9 that are the same as those of the hinge according to the present invention are denoted by the same reference numbers.
  • the prior art hinge once assembled for example for a right-hand opening door, is not immediately reversible to another configuration for use on a left-hand opening door.
  • the presence of the second protrusion 12 eliminates the need for many of the operations described above to adapt the hinge 1 to a right- or left-hand opening door.
  • the new hinge configuration makes it possible to fit the bush 7 and the pin 6 together to form a single assembly whether the adjustment element 18 is in place or not.
  • the pin 6 may have a portion 6a, housed in the bush 7, with threading 6f that enables it to be screwed into the threaded seat 7f made in the bush 7 itself.
  • the portion 6a of the pin 6 may be stably housed in the seat 7a in the bush 7 by means of an interference fit.
  • the hinge according to the invention therefore achieves the preset aims thanks to a very simple structural modification, that is to say, the twin protrusion, which does not affect the basic structure of the hinge but which allows the hinge to be quickly and precisely adapted for right- or left-hand opening doors by means of a "setting" that is much faster than in previous solutions.
