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.
- the hinge pin 18 is 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 19 of the pin 18 itself.
- the pin 18 is inserted in the holes 6 and 7 with two interposed centring bushings 20 of customary type.
- the flap 8 is laterally delimited by an end face 21, located on the side opposite the tubular portion 4 and parallel with the axis of the hole 6, and by two sides 22, both at right angles to the wall 21.
- the flap 9 may be laterally delimited by an end face 23, located on the side opposite the tubular portion 5 and parallel with the axis of the hole 7, and by two sides 24, both at right angles to the wall 23.
- the cap 25, made in a single piece has a first 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 the flap 8, and a second portion 27, shaped in such a way as to closely surround and fully cover the portion of the flap 8 that is defined by the face 21, the sides 22 and an outside face 28 of it located on the side opposite the face by which the flap 8 is in contact with the frame 10, adjacent to the above mentioned longitudinal strip.
- the cap 25 is fitted to the body 2 by sliding the portion 26 over the portion 4 in the direction of the axis 19, with the portion 27 positioned in a plane that is rotated with respect to the plane in which the frame 10 lies, and then turning the portion 27 until it is in contact with the frame 10.
- the cap 25 which is stopped from sliding in the direction of the axis 19 by the sides 22, is fixed to the hinge body 2 by screws 41 which, with the frame 11 in the open position, are inserted into a hole 29 which passes through the portion 4 and the flap 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 a plug 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 the portion 26.
- the plug 30 may be integral, in a single piece, with the above mentioned axial end of the portion 26 (see Figure 3 ).
- the body 3, once fitted to the frame 11, is covered by a tamper-proof cap 31, of metal, which, as shown in Figure 2 , is shaped to follow the profile of the body 3 itself, with a clearly-defined edge between the tubular portion 5 and the flap 9.
- the cap 31, made in a single piece has a first portion 32, shaped in such a way as to closely surround and fully cover the lateral surface of the tubular portion 5 except for a longitudinal strip adjacent to the flap 9, and a second portion 33 shaped in such a way as to closely surround and fully cover the portion of the flap 9 that is defined by the face 23, the sides 24 and an outside face 34 of it located on the side opposite the face by which the flap 9 is in contact with the frame 11, adjacent to the above mentioned longitudinal strip.
- the cap 31 is fitted to the body 3 by sliding the portion 32 over the portion 5 in the direction of the axis 19 (see arrow F) until it fully covers the portion 5 (see Figure 6 ) and with the portion 33 positioned in a plane that is rotated with respect to the plane in which the frame 11 lies, and then turning the portion 33 until it is in contact with the frame 11 (see arrow F1 in Figures 6 and 7 ).
- the cap 31 which is stopped from sliding in the direction of the axis 19 by the sides 24, is fixed to the hinge body 3 by screws 41 (according to a known method) which engage with a respective internal threaded hole 40 (see Figure 4 ) made in each cap 25 and 31.
- Securing occurs when the frame 11 is in the open position using a hole 35 which passes through the portion 5 and the flap 9 and which is accessible from the above mentioned longitudinal strip.
- the axial end of the portion 5 on the side opposite the body 2 is covered by a plug 36 that is fitted by pressing it into the axial end of the portion 5 itself ( Figure 2 ) or, in another embodiment, into the corresponding axial end of the portion 32.
- the plug 36 may be integral, in a single piece, with the above mentioned axial end of the portion 32 (see also Figure 3 ).
- the caps 25 and 31 are shaped in such a way as to follow the profiles of the hinge bodies 2 and 3 without clearly-defined edges between the tubular portions 4 and 5 and the respective flaps 8 and 9.
- the large outside surfaces of the portions 26 and 27 of the cap 25 are substituted by a single, outwardly convex surface, forming a smoothly curved part between the portions 26 and 27; and, in the same way, the large outside surfaces of the portions 32 and 33 of the cap 31 are substituted by a single, outwardly convex surface, forming a smoothly curved part between the portions 32 and 33.
- the inside surfaces of the portions 26 and 27 of the 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 the flap 8, respectively.
- the inside surfaces of the portions 32 and 33 of the cap 31 are preferably shaped as in the embodiment described above, that is to say, in such a way as to closely surround the tubular portion 5 and the flap 9, respectively.
- caps 25 and 31 may have different shapes and designs to meet exterior design requirements. In all embodiments, however, and if necessary, in conjunction with the plugs 30 and 36, where the latter are not integral parts of them, the caps 25 and 31 entirely cover the hinge bodies 2 and 3 when these are in the reciprocally assembled position on the respective frames 10 and 11 and the latter are in the closed position.
- 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.
