Definitions
- This invention relates to a hinge for door or window frames, in particular, but without restricting the scope of the invention, for metal door or window frames.
- a hinge made according to the present invention is particularly suitable for heavy or security door or window units, such as, for example, outside doors, gates and the like.
- Prior art hinges for such door or window units normally comprise two hinge bodies, usually made of extruded aluminium, and a steel hinge pin inserted into respective through holes in the hinge bodies with centring bushings inserted between the bodies and the pin.
- Each of the through holes in the hinge bodies is made coaxially in a substantially cylindrical portion of the respective hinge body itself.
- One of the hinge bodies is designed to be attached to the mobile frame of the door or window unit, and the other to the fixed frame, and each of them has a flap by which it is secured to the respective door or window frame.
- the flap which extends laterally from the substantially cylindrical portion of the hinge body, normally has two through holes, crossed, perpendicularly to the hinge pin, by securing screws whose heads are normally accommodated in respective truncated-cone shaped or countersunk seats made in the hinge flaps themselves.
- each flap has an L-shaped groove running parallel with the hinge pin and with which the cap is slidably coupled before being fixed to the hinge body by another screw that is accessible only when the door or window is open: the screw is housed in a suitable seat made in a part of the cylindrical portion of the hinge body which, during use, is in contact with the door or window unit or frame and, when the door or window is open, can be screwed into a threaded hole made in the tamper-proof cap which is thus secured to the hinge flap.
- the caps cover the whole of the large uncovered face of the hinge flaps and each forms a surface that smoothly connects with the substantially cylindrical portion of the respective hinge body, leaving this portion in view.
- GB 2381291 discloses a hinge for window or doors.
- the hinge comprises a frame fixture, connected to a fixed frame, and a sash fixture, connected to a mobile frame by means of screw fasteners.
- the hinge also comprises a metal cap which is associable to the sash fixture and can be couple to the latter for covering a front portion of the sash fixture, in such a way to prevent access to the screw fasteners from the external of the door or window.
- a first disadvantage is due to the fact that each cap, however strong and however closely fitted to the substantially cylindrical portion of the respective hinge body may be tampered with by inserting a crowbar or similar tool between it and the cylindrical portion of the hinge in order to force the door or window open. Even if the attempt to break in is not successful, it inevitably damages the components of the hinge.
- One aim of the present invention is to provide a hinge for door or window frames with improved tamper-proof features.
- Another aim of the invention is to provide a hinge for door and window frames that is simple and economical to produce.
- this invention proposes a hinge for door or window frames according to appended claim 1.
- the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety a hinge for door or window frames, in particular, but without restricting the scope of the invention, door or window frames made of metal.
- the hinge 1 is designed in particular for so-called heavy or security door or window frames, such as, for example, those of outside doors, gates and the like, and comprises two hinge bodies 2 and 3 both preferably made of extruded aluminium and each having a substantially cylindrical tubular portion 4, 5 with a respective central through hole 6, 7, and a flap 8, 9 by which it is secured to a door or window frame 10, 11.
- the door or window frame 10 to which the hinge body 2 is secured is a fixed frame, whilst the door or window frame 11 to which the hinge body 3 is secured is mobile.
- the fixed frame 10 may be absent and the hinge body 2 may be fixed directly to a load-bearing wall structure which in this case serves the same purpose as the fixed frame.
- the flap 8 extends laterally from the tubular portion 4 and has two through holes 12, aligned along a direction D1 parallel with the axis of the hole 6. There are corresponding through holes 13 in the fixed frame 10 so that it can be connected to the flap 8 using two screws 14 at a right angle to the direction of alignment D1.
- the flap 9 extends laterally from the tubular portion 5 and has two through holes 15, aligned along a direction D2 parallel with the axis of the hole 7. There are corresponding through holes 16 in the mobile frame 11 so that it can be connected to the flap 9 using two screws 17 at a right angle to the direction of alignment D2.
- the flaps 8 and 9 and the respective frames 10 and 11 have a number of through holes other than two.
- hinge 1 pin 18 The rotation of the hinge bodies 2 and 3 relative to each other is permitted by a hinge 1 pin 18.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a hinge for door or window frames, in particular, but without restricting the scope of the invention, for metal door or window frames.
- A hinge made according to the present invention is particularly suitable for heavy or security door or window units, such as, for example, outside doors, gates and the like.
- Prior art hinges for such door or window units normally comprise two hinge bodies, usually made of extruded aluminium, and a steel hinge pin inserted into respective through holes in the hinge bodies with centring bushings inserted between the bodies and the pin. Each of the through holes in the hinge bodies is made coaxially in a substantially cylindrical portion of the respective hinge body itself. One of the hinge bodies is designed to be attached to the mobile frame of the door or window unit, and the other to the fixed frame, and each of them has a flap by which it is secured to the respective door or window frame.
- The flap, which extends laterally from the substantially cylindrical portion of the hinge body, normally has two through holes, crossed, perpendicularly to the hinge pin, by securing screws whose heads are normally accommodated in respective truncated-cone shaped or countersunk seats made in the hinge flaps themselves.
- At present, the screw heads are hidden by special tamper-proof caps and, for this purpose, the free end of each flap has an L-shaped groove running parallel with the hinge pin and with which the cap is slidably coupled before being fixed to the hinge body by another screw that is accessible only when the door or window is open: the screw is housed in a suitable seat made in a part of the cylindrical portion of the hinge body which, during use, is in contact with the door or window unit or frame and, when the door or window is open, can be screwed into a threaded hole made in the tamper-proof cap which is thus secured to the hinge flap.
- The caps cover the whole of the large uncovered face of the hinge flaps and each forms a surface that smoothly connects with the substantially cylindrical portion of the respective hinge body, leaving this portion in view.
-
GB 2381291 - These tamper-proof caps, however, have several disadvantages.
- A first disadvantage is due to the fact that each cap, however strong and however closely fitted to the substantially cylindrical portion of the respective hinge body may be tampered with by inserting a crowbar or similar tool between it and the cylindrical portion of the hinge in order to force the door or window open. Even if the attempt to break in is not successful, it inevitably damages the components of the hinge.
- Another disadvantage is that since the cap only partially covers the hinge, the hinge itself is subjected to an additional machining process to prepare the L-shaped groove on the flap and requires a surface finishing treatment, such as painting, that must also be performed on the caps: this complicates the hinge production process and increases the production cost, with obvious negative effects on the cost paid for the hinge by the end user.
- One aim of the present invention is to provide a hinge for door or window frames with improved tamper-proof features.
- Another aim of the invention is to provide a hinge for door and window frames that is simple and economical to produce.
- In accordance with the above mentioned aims, this invention proposes a hinge for door or window frames according to appended
claim 1. - The claims dependent on
claim 1 describe preferred, advantageous embodiments of the invention. - The advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description provided by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred, non-restricting embodiment of the invention and in which:
-

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the hinge ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the hinge ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 4 is an exploded, perspective view of the hinge ofFigure 2 ; -
Figures 5, 6 and 7 illustrate a step of applying an accessory to the hinge according to the invention, that is to say, a cap on one of the hinge bodies,Figures 5 and 6 in perspective views andFigure 7 in a side view; all three Figures having some parts cut away in order to better illustrate others. - With reference to the accompanying drawings, in particular
Figure 1 , thenumeral 1 denotes in its entirety a hinge for door or window frames, in particular, but without restricting the scope of the invention, door or window frames made of metal. Thehinge 1 is designed in particular for so-called heavy or security door or window frames, such as, for example, those of outside doors, gates and the like, and comprises twohinge bodies tubular portion 4, 5 with a respective central throughhole flap window frame 10, 11. - The door or window frame 10 to which the
hinge body 2 is secured is a fixed frame, whilst the door orwindow frame 11 to which thehinge body 3 is secured is mobile. - According to an embodiment that is not illustrated, the fixed frame 10 may be absent and the
hinge body 2 may be fixed directly to a load-bearing wall structure which in this case serves the same purpose as the fixed frame. - The
flap 8 extends laterally from the tubular portion 4 and has two through holes 12, aligned along a direction D1 parallel with the axis of thehole 6. There are corresponding through holes 13 in the fixed frame 10 so that it can be connected to theflap 8 using twoscrews 14 at a right angle to the direction of alignment D1. - Similarly, the
flap 9 extends laterally from thetubular portion 5 and has two throughholes 15, aligned along a direction D2 parallel with the axis of thehole 7. There are corresponding through holes 16 in themobile frame 11 so that it can be connected to theflap 9 using twoscrews 17 at a right angle to the direction of alignment D2. - In alternative embodiments, not illustrated, the
flaps respective frames 10 and 11 have a number of through holes other than two. - The rotation of the
hinge bodies hinge 1pin 18. Usually, but without restricting the scope of the invention, thehinge pin 18 is made of steel and is inserted coaxially into theholes hinge body 2 to turn relative to thehinge body 3 about acentral axis 19 of thepin 18 itself. In particular, thepin 18 is inserted in theholes centring bushings 20 of customary type. - In a non-restricting embodiment, the
flap 8 is laterally delimited by anend face 21, located on the side opposite the tubular portion 4 and parallel with the axis of thehole 6, and by twosides 22, both at right angles to thewall 21. - Similarly, the
flap 9 may be laterally delimited by anend face 23, located on the side opposite thetubular portion 5 and parallel with the axis of thehole 7, and by twosides 24, both at right angles to thewall 23. - The
body 2, once fitted to the frame 10, is covered by a tamper-proof cap 25, of metal, which, as shown inFigure 2 , is shaped to follow the profile of thebody 2 itself, with a clearly-defined edge between the tubular portion 4 and theflap 8. In particular, thecap 25, made in a single piece, has afirst portion 26, shaped in such a way as to closely surround and fully cover the lateral surface of the tubular portion 4 except for a longitudinal strip adjacent to theflap 8, and asecond portion 27, shaped in such a way as to closely surround and fully cover the portion of theflap 8 that is defined by theface 21, thesides 22 and anoutside face 28 of it located on the side opposite the face by which theflap 8 is in contact with the frame 10, adjacent to the above mentioned longitudinal strip. - The
cap 25 is fitted to thebody 2 by sliding theportion 26 over the portion 4 in the direction of theaxis 19, with theportion 27 positioned in a plane that is rotated with respect to the plane in which the frame 10 lies, and then turning theportion 27 until it is in contact with the frame 10. Once in the closed position, where it is in contact with the frame 10, thecap 25, which is stopped from sliding in the direction of theaxis 19 by thesides 22, is fixed to thehinge body 2 byscrews 41 which, with theframe 11 in the open position, are inserted into ahole 29 which passes through the portion 4 and theflap 8 and which is accessible from the above mentioned longitudinal strip (as described in more detail below). - The axial end of the portion 4 on the side opposite the
body 3 is covered by aplug 30 that is fitted by pressing it into the axial end of the portion 4 itself or, in another embodiment, into the corresponding axial end of theportion 26. In yet another embodiment, theplug 30 may be integral, in a single piece, with the above mentioned axial end of the portion 26 (seeFigure 3 ). - Similarly, the
body 3, once fitted to theframe 11, is covered by a tamper-proof cap 31, of metal, which, as shown inFigure 2 , is shaped to follow the profile of thebody 3 itself, with a clearly-defined edge between thetubular portion 5 and theflap 9. In particular, thecap 31, made in a single piece, has afirst portion 32, shaped in such a way as to closely surround and fully cover the lateral surface of thetubular portion 5 except for a longitudinal strip adjacent to theflap 9, and asecond portion 33 shaped in such a way as to closely surround and fully cover the portion of theflap 9 that is defined by theface 23, thesides 24 and anoutside face 34 of it located on the side opposite the face by which theflap 9 is in contact with theframe 11, adjacent to the above mentioned longitudinal strip. - As may be clearly inferred from
Figures 5, 6, and 7 , thecap 31 is fitted to thebody 3 by sliding theportion 32 over theportion 5 in the direction of the axis 19 (see arrow F) until it fully covers the portion 5 (seeFigure 6 ) and with theportion 33 positioned in a plane that is rotated with respect to the plane in which theframe 11 lies, and then turning theportion 33 until it is in contact with the frame 11 (see arrow F1 inFigures 6 and 7 ). - Once in the closed position, where it is in contact with the
frame 11, thecap 31, which is stopped from sliding in the direction of theaxis 19 by thesides 24, is fixed to thehinge body 3 by screws 41 (according to a known method) which engage with a respective internal threaded hole 40 (seeFigure 4 ) made in eachcap - Securing occurs when the
frame 11 is in the open position using ahole 35 which passes through theportion 5 and theflap 9 and which is accessible from the above mentioned longitudinal strip. - The axial end of the
portion 5 on the side opposite thebody 2 is covered by aplug 36 that is fitted by pressing it into the axial end of theportion 5 itself (Figure 2 ) or, in another embodiment, into the corresponding axial end of theportion 32. In yet another embodiment, theplug 36 may be integral, in a single piece, with the above mentioned axial end of the portion 32 (see alsoFigure 3 ). - In the embodiment shown in
Figure 3 , preferred in terms of appearance, thecaps hinge bodies tubular portions 4 and 5 and therespective flaps portions cap 25 are substituted by a single, outwardly convex surface, forming a smoothly curved part between theportions portions cap 31 are substituted by a single, outwardly convex surface, forming a smoothly curved part between theportions - In this case, the inside surfaces of the
portions cap 25 are preferably shaped as in the embodiment described above, that is to say, in such a way as to closely surround the tubular portion 4 and theflap 8, respectively. Similarly, the inside surfaces of theportions cap 31 are preferably shaped as in the embodiment described above, that is to say, in such a way as to closely surround thetubular portion 5 and theflap 9, respectively. - It will be understood that the
caps plugs caps hinge bodies respective frames 10 and 11 and the latter are in the closed position. - This, on the one hand, reduces the production cost of the
hinge 1 since thehinge bodies caps - Therefore, a hinge made in this way achieves the preset aims thanks to covering elements or caps that are extremely practical and easy to fit and that offer a high level of security and, at the same time, have an attractive appearance.
- The use of this type of total cover permits a reduction in the overall production cost of the hinge since it eliminates the need to further machine the hinge flaps and to paint the hinge bodies. Thus, only the caps which totally cover the hinge need to be painted.
- The invention described is suitable for evident industrial applications and may be modified and adapted in several ways without thereby departing from the scope of the inventive concept as defined by the claims.
