Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of hinges, and it refers to a compact hinge device for a door with horizontal rotation axis, in particular for a household appliance such as a dishwasher, an oven and the like.
  • hinges for rotating a door with horizontal axis from a closing condition, in which said door is vertical, to an opening condition, in which the door comes down in an almost horizontal position.
  • Said known hinges are sometimes equipped with traction springs having an end fixed to bulky and heavy supports which cause at least increases of the transportation costs of the hinges.
  • An object of the present invention is to propose a compact hinge device for a door having a dimension, during the transportation, even five or six times smaller than the known types of hinges and likewise not heavy.
  • Another object is to propose a hinge device to maintaining the door in any intermediate position.
  • Prior art document EP 0 919 776 A2 discloses a device having the features of the preamble of claim 1 of the present document.
  • numeral 1 indicates the compact hinge device for a door 2 of a structure 3, for example of a household oven, of a household appliance with horizontal rotation axis of the door or of a furniture element.
  • connection members first 4 and second 5
  • connection members first 4 and second 5
  • Said connection members 4, 5 are mutually connected by means of a first rotation pivot 6 and the device 1 is provided with elastic means 7 fit to provide an elastic closing force to said connection members first 4 and second 5.
  • the device comprises an arm mean 8, whose one first end is connected, by means of a second rotation pivot 9, to the first connection member 4 and whose second end has a head 10.
  • a side portion of said head 10 is connected to an end of the elastic mean 7, of compressed helicoidal spring type, whose opposite end is constrained to a lock 13 of the second connection member 5.
  • the head 10 of the arm mean 8 compresses the elastic mean 7 balancing the door 2.
  • the second connection member 5 comprises a housing mean 14, of approximately cylindrical tubular shape, fit to contain a portion of the elastic means 7. Said housing mean 14 is orientated almost parallelly in respect to the plane of the door 2 in the closing condition.
  • the head 10 has a connection mean 12 for a spring guide 15 inserted into the corresponding end portion of the helicoidal spring elastic means 7.
  • the spring guide 15 is cylinder shaped, with a rimmed end that is shaped in a manner complementary to the connection mean 12.
  • the second connection member 5 has a first sliding guiding mean 16, approximately parallel to the door 2 in the closing condition, for a first sliding block mean 17 connected, by means of a respective third rotation pivot 18, to the head 10.
  • Said third rotation pivot 18 of the first sliding block mean 17 is fixed to the head 10 in the position approximately opposite to the connection mean 12 for the spring guide 15.
  • the arm mean 8 includes a central section slightly curved and is carried out integral with the respective head 10 with which it forms a kind of " ⁇ " whose lower portion has the second pivot 9.
  • the upper portion, oriented toward the door 2, of said " ⁇ " shaped integral piece has the third pivot 18 and the opposing upper portion has the connection mean 12 for the spring guide 15.
  • the first connection member 4 includes a protrusion 23 fit to match a stop 24 of the second member 5 in the extreme opening condition A and the second connection member 5 includes a hollow 25 fit to match the first rotation pivot 6 in the same extreme opening condition A.
  • the operation of the device provides that the first sliding guiding mean 16 transmits to the first sliding block mean 17 a reaction force to the elastic force of the spring 7.
  • said reaction force has a component orthogonal in respect to the first sliding guiding mean 16 which presses, against this latter, the first sliding block mean producing, between these two means, a friction force opposing their mutual movement and particularly it contrasts the door opening.
  • the variant of figures 5 - 7 of the device 1 differs from the preceding mentioned embodiment due to the fact that the head 10 consists of an oscillating element centrally connected to the arm mean 8 by means of a fourth rotation pivot 19. Furthermore, the end opposite to the first sliding block mean 17 of the head 10 is connected, by means of a fifth rotation pivot 20, to a second sliding block mean 21 sliding along a second sliding guiding mean 22 obtained in the second connection member 5.
  • the first 16 and second 22 sliding guiding means to are nearly parallel.
  • connection mean 12 and the fifth rotation pivot 20 of the second sliding block mean 21 define a slightly inclined line in respect to the axis of the elastic mean 7.
  • An advantage of the present invention is to provide a compact hinge device for a door which is five times or even six times smaller than the corresponding hinges of the know types and is very light.
