Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinge for metal frames forming part of door units, window units, etc.
  • a hinge made according to the present invention is particularly suited to relatively light door and window units, such as, for example, those for interiors, which this specification specifically refers to but without thereby restricting the scope of the invention.
  • Prior art hinges for metal door and window units normally consist of two hinge bodies, usually made of extruded aluminium, and a steel hinge pin inserted into respective cylindrical holes in the two hinge bodies.
  • One of the hinge bodies is designed to be attached to the mobile frame, or sash, of the door or window unit, and the other to the fixed frame, and each of them has a shaped flap by which it is secured to the respective frame of the door or window unit.
  • Both of the flaps are crossed, perpendicularly to the hinge pin, by securing screws whose heads are normally accommodated in respective recesses made in the hinge flaps themselves and which, on assembly, engage with a retaining element in a suitable channel made in the door or window unit.
  • the hinge bodies usually undergo a painting process so that they match the colour of the door or window unit when the latter has a finish other than aluminium.
  • This invention has for an aim to provide a hinge for metal door and window units that is simple and economical to produce.
  • Another aim of this invention is to provide a hinge for metal door and window units that is quick, easy and practical to fit.
  • a hinge for metal door and window units comprising: two hinge bodies, each presenting a cylindrical hole and a flap by which it is secured to the respective frame of a door or window unit; a hinge pin that can be inserted coaxially into the holes to allow the bodies to turn relative to each other about a central axis of the pin itself; and fastening elements to fix the flaps to the respective frames of the door or window unit; each of the hinge bodies is made in a first and a second part which can be fitted together, the first part constituting a first element presenting the respective hole and the second part constituting a second element presenting the respective securing flap.
  • the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety a hinge for metal door and window units.
  • the hinge 1 is designed in particular for relatively light door or window units, such as, for example, those for interiors, and comprises two hinge bodies 2 and 3 both made of aluminium and each presenting a substantially cylindrical, tubular portion 4, 5 with a respective central cylindrical hole 6, 7 and a shaped flap 8, 9 by which it is secured to a respective frame of a customary door or window unit 10 (Figure 4).
  • the hinge bodies 2 and 3 can be fixed in customary manner to the mobile frame and to the fixed frame of the door or window unit 10, respectively.
  • Figure 4 shows, by way of example, the hinge body 3 in the position in which it is assembled to the fixed frame of the door or window unit.
  • the hinge body 3 may be attached to the fixed frame by fixing means 11 of the jaw type comprising a clamping plate 12 that acts in conjunction with the flap 9 to form two respective jaws designed to grip a channel defined by the profile 13 of the fixed frame.
  • the plate 12 presents two threaded holes 14 in which two screws 15 are fastened.
  • the screws 15 pass freely through respective through holes 16 made in the flap 9 ( Figure 3) and are stopped by their heads against the flap 9 itself. Screwing in the screws 15 causes the flap 9 and the plate 12 to move towards each other in such a way as to clamp the profile 13 between the flap 9 and the plate 12.
  • the hinge body 2 may be attached to the mobile frame, or sash, of the door or window unit 10 by fixing means identical to the jaw type fixing means 11 described above and, for this reason, the flap 8 also has two through holes 16 made in it ( Figure 2).
  • hinge bodies 2 and 3 The rotation of the hinge bodies 2 and 3 relative to each other is permitted by a hinge 1 pin 17.
  • the hinge pin 17 is usually made of steel and is inserted coaxially into the holes 6 and 7 so as to enable the hinge body 2 to turn relative to the hinge body 3 about a central axis 18 of the pin 17 itself.
  • the pin 17 may be fixed by an interference fit in the hole 7, whilst it can turn freely in the hole 6.
  • each flap 8, 9 there extends at right angles a respective bracket 19, 20 which, as specified below, can be slidably coupled with the respective tubular portion 4, 5.
  • each of the two hinge bodies 2 and 3 is made in two separate parts, a first part and a second part 21, 22, which can be fitted together, that is to say, the two parts 21, 22 are made separately and subsequently assembled or coupled to each other to form the hinge bodies 2, 3 themselves.
  • the first part 21 comprises the tubular portion 4, 5 and thus defines the respective hole 6, 7, whilst the second part 22 comprises and defines the flap 8, 9 and the respective bracket 19, 20 to be coupled with the door or window unit.
  • only one of the two hinge bodies 2 and 3 is made in the above mentioned two parts 21, 22, whilst the other is made in a single piece as in prior art hinges.
  • the first and the second part 21, 22 of both the hinge body 2 and the hinge body 3 have respective surfaces 23, 24 by which they can be coupled with each other and which have substantially matching shapes.
  • bracket 20 of the second part 22 has a shaped profile 25, whilst the first part 21 has a groove 26 shaped to match the profile 25 and so that the profile 25 itself can fit snugly into it.
  • the groove 26 and the profile 25 can be interlocked and form a dovetail joint.
  • the groove 26 extends lengthways in a direction parallel to the axis 27, 28 of the respective hole 6, 7 and is separated from the hole 6, 7 by a curved wall 29 which, transversally to the axis 27, 28, has a substantially C-shaped cross section defining the dovetail joint.
  • the wall 29 extends along a circular arc coaxial with the axis 27, 28 and has an inside radius equal to the radius of the hole 6, 7.
  • the groove 26 is defined by a channel made in the outside wall of the substantially tubular cylindrical portion 4, 5.
  • the groove 26 has a limit stop 30 for the respective profile 25.
  • the stop 30 extends in a direction transversal to the axis 27, 28 of the respective hole 6, 7 at one end of the groove.
  • the wall 29 separating the groove 26 from the hole 6, 7 is flat and the dovetail joint it forms has, transversally to the axis 27, 28 of the hole 6, 7, a substantially T-shaped cross section.
  • each of the two profiles 25 is designed to be inserted into the respective groove 26 in a direction of reciprocal sliding parallel to the axis 27, 28 of the respective hole 6, 7 and that, when the hinge 1 is assembled, the two limit stops 30 of the respective portions 4 and 5 are positioned face to face.
  • the two parts 21 and 22 are joined to each other by an interference fit in such a way as lock the two parts together firmly, thus forming a compact hinge 1.
  • each of the first parts 21 can be made by pressure die casting, whilst each of the second parts 22 can be made by extrusion, with evident advantages in terms of simplicity and economy of production.
  • first and second parts 21 and 22 can both be made of aluminium or a material other than aluminium and may undergo different surface treatments, providing attractive yet economical surface finishes.
  • the pressure die casting process used to make the first part 21 also enables the inside of the hole 6 of the portion 4 to be provided with a plurality of radially protruding fins 31, preferably four, between which a steel ball 32 can be fitted.
  • the position of the ball 32 along the axis 27 of the hole 6 defines the length of the portion of the pin 17 to be inserted into the hole 6 and, more specifically, can be selected in such a way that, once the hinge 1 has been assembled, the two face-to-face limit stops 30 of the respective portions 4 and 5 do not actually touch but have a very small gap between them.
  • a hinge made in the manner described above achieves the aforementioned aims thanks to an extremely innovative structure offering undoubted advantages.
  • the first advantage is that it permits a significant reduction in the cost of producing the hinge bodies because they are divided into two separate parts, one made by pressure die casting and the other by extrusion, thus greatly simplifying the production process and reducing the need for subsequent surface finishing operations.
