Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinge device for the door of a switchboard enclosure.
  • Switchboard enclosures comprise a rear box fixable to a vertical wall and capable of containing a plurality of electrical switches. Attached to the box is a front cover having one or more one or more openings for access to the control levers or pushbuttons of the electrical switches housed in the box. Along a vertical side of the box there are fixed two hinges forming pintles on which a door is rotatably mounted for closing the front of the enclosure.
  • GB-A-1 284 258 discloses a hinge device as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a general object of the present invention is to provide a hinge device capable of making the steps of assembling and disassembling the door of a switchboard enclosure safer and easier.
  • a particular object of the invention is to provide a hinge device that allows an operator to assemble and disassemble a door in two phases, with an intermediate assembling or disassembling phase in which the door is secured to the enclosure provisionally but steadily enough to prevent the door from accidentally falling while the operator is completing the locking or unlocking of the door.
  • numeral 10 indicates overall one of the two hinge devices fixable along a side of a front cover 30 of a switchboard enclosure for rotatably mounting a door 40.
  • the cover 30 is removably fixable by means of screw 50 to a rear box 34 (shown partially in figures 8 and 9 ) of the enclosure.
  • the cover 30 typically has an opening 31 in which there are located recessed panels 60 allowing access to the controls of the electrical switches (not shown) housed in the enclosure.
  • Each hinge device 10 (only one is shown in the drawings) comprises a body 11 of moulded plastic material forming a bush portion 12 rearwardly projecting with an inner cylindrical non-threaded passage 13 that passes through the body 11 from side to side in the front-rear direction.
  • the bush portion 12 forms a pair of angularly spaced L-shaped radial recesses 14 intended to cooperate with a respective pair of formations 32 ( figure 1 ) radially projecting in a horizontal through bore 33 of the cover 30.
  • the hinge device 10 is coupled with the cover 30 by fitting the bush portion 12 in the bore 33, as indicated schematically by arrows A and B in figure 1 .
  • the recesses 14 and projections 32 provide a bayonet coupling mechanism that allows to fix the hinge device 10 to the cover 30 quickly and removably.
  • Each hinge device 10 has two vertically aligned pintles 15, 16 on which the door 40 is rotatably mounted.
  • One of the pintles, indicated 15, is a fixed pintle or pin formed integrally with the body 11, whereas the other pintle 16 is a mobile element formed separately from the body 11 ( figure 6 ).
  • the mobile pintle 16 comprises a vertical pin portion 17 and a locking lever 18 perpendicular to the pin 17.
  • the pintle 16 is slidingly accommodated in the body 11 along a vertical axis x aligned with the fixed pintle 15.
  • the mobile pintle 16 is inserted in a vertical guiding channel 19 formed by the body 11 ( figure 6 ) and aligned with the axis x and a through bore 20 obtained in a side wall 21 of the body 11.
  • the pin 17 is inserted in snap manner in the guide 19, elastically forcing a tooth 22 that serves to hold the pin 17 along the guide 19.
  • the mobile pintle 16 is brought in a retracted position in which the end 17a of the pin 17 does not protrude out of the bore 20 ( figure 2 ). This position is determined by the abutment of the other end 17b of the pin against a stop 23.
  • the door 40 is preliminarily coupled with the fixed pintle of each hinge device by a snap coupling ( figure 3 , arrow C) obtained by fitting the fixed pintle 15 in a fork formation 41 of the door.
  • a preliminarily assembled condition is so achieved ( figure 4 ), in which a bore 42 of the door is axially adjacent and aligned with the bore 20 of each hinge and with the pin 17 retracted.
  • the mobile pintles 16 are then forced to slide in the vertical direction indicated by arrow D in figure 4 , thereby bringing the pins 17 in an extended position where they pass through both of the aligned bores 20 and 42.
  • the horizontal bore 33 of the cover 30 is axially aligned with the threaded bore 35 of the rear box 34.
  • a screw 50 for fastening the cover 30 onto the box 34 ( figure 9 ) is fitted through the cylindrical passage 13 of the hinge and the non-threaded bore 33 of the cover and screwed into the threaded bore 35.
  • the cover can be separated from the rear box. Owing to the bayonet coupling between the hinge and the cover, removal of the screws will not cause separation of the hinges, and therefore the door, from the cover 30. While carrying out this operation, the operator does not need to take care of holding both the cover and the door to avoid that either or both may fall and get damaged. The door remains secured to the cover, whereby it is sufficient to use one hand to take hold of either the cover or the door to prevent both from falling.
  • the hinge body 11 forms an abutment surface 13a within the cylindrical passage 13 for the head 51 of the screw 50.
  • the two-diameter bore 33 has an abutment surface 36 for the rear or free end of the bush portion 12.
  • each hinge device guarantees that the door will be steady also in case one of the two pintles (of plastic material) is broken.
