Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a hinging element for a hinge for frames, or items of furniture and a hinge with at least two hinging elements; identical to each other and able to be hinged one onto the other so as to articulate a mobile structure, for example the panel of a frame, with respect to a fixed structure of the frame.
  • hinges In the field of frames, hinges are known, to articulate the panel of a frame or of a piece of furniture, with respect to a fixed structure, comprising two elements, respectively a male one and a female one.
  • the male element is normally fixed to the fixed structure and is provided with a pin
  • the female element is normally fixed to the panel and is provided with a seating of shape and sizes mating with those of the pin.
  • the pin is inserted into the seating allowing the hinging of the two elements.
  • the two elements of known hinges therefore consist of two different pieces, which can be made only using different production lines with different molds and treatments and therefore with high costs of production, cataloging and storage.
  • a hinge consisting of two hinging elements, identical to each other and each comprising a peg, which functions as the male part, and a bushing, which functions as the female part.
  • the peg and the bushing are distanced from each other, they have the same hinging axis in common and are connected to each other by an attachment plate.
  • Said elements of the known hinge are complex and costly to make.
  • FR-A-936.399 discloses a hinge comprising a number of cylindrical elements having, at one end, a conical protrusion and, at the opposite end, a mating cavity for housing the conical protrusion of the adjacent element.
  • Each element further comprises a number of through holes for the insertion of wooden screws, to mount the relative element on the frame of a door or of a window by passing and screwing a relative screw on said frame.
  • Purpose of the present invention is to achieve a hinge for frames, or items of furniture, with at least two hinging elements identical to each other and able to be hinged one onto the other, which can be achieved much more cheaply than known hinges, advantageously by means of a single production line and with one type of mold, reducing cataloging and storage costs and also facilitating installment operations.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a hinging element comprises a body, substantially coaxial with a first axis (I), and an attachment shank having a second axis (Y), substantially perpendicular to said first axis (I), so that, when they are hinged together, two hinging elements define a determinate inter-axis (X) between the two second axes (Y) of the corresponding attachment shanks.
  • the body of each hinging element comprises a first part having an internal cavity, coaxial with said first axis (I), which functions as the female part, and a second part, also coaxial with said first axis (I) and having a smaller cross section than that of said first part, which functions as the male part and which has shape and sizes mating with those of said internal cavity, so as to be coupled with the corresponding internal cavity of another of said hinging elements.
  • the height (H1) of the first part of said body is substantially equal to said inter-axis (X).
  • the invention also concerns a hinge comprising at least two hinging elements, identical to each other so that, in order to produce them, it is sufficient to set up a single production line and prepare a single mold, thus reducing not only the production costs, but also the costs of cataloging and storage.
  • the two hinging elements, identical to each other, are able to be hinged one onto the other on said first hinging axis (I).
  • a hinge 10 comprises two hinging elements, a lower one 12 and an upper one 14, identical to each other, which have a hinging axis I.
  • Each hinging element 12 and 14 ( figs. 1 and 2 ) comprises a base body 16, substantially coaxial with the hinging axis I, and a threaded shank 18, solid with the body 16 and having a longitudinal axis Y, substantially orthogonal to the hinging axis I.
  • Each threaded shank 18 ( figs. 1, 2 and 3 ) allows to fix the corresponding hinging element 12 or 14 to a panel or to a frame of any frame structure or item of furniture whatsoever, not shown in the drawings.
  • the base body 16 in turn comprises a first part 17, for example cylindrical, or shaped like a truncated cone, and having a determinate diameter D1 ( figs. 1 and 3 ), and a second part or pin 22, cylindrical, or shaped like a truncated cone, and having a determinate diameter D2, which is inferior to the diameter D1, so that the cross section of the second part 22 is smaller than that of the first part 17.
  • An internal cavity 20 is made in the first part 17 of each hinging element 12 and 14, which functions as the female part, while the pin 22 functions as the male part.
  • the pin 22 and the internal cavity 20 have mating shape and sizes, in particular, in this case, the pin 22 has an at least partly cylindrical shape.
  • the pin 22 of the lower hinging element 12 is able to be inserted in a rotating manner into the internal cavity 20 of the upper hinging element 14 so that the two hinging elements 12 and 14 are pivoted with respect to each other coaxially to the hinging axis I ( fig. 2 ).
  • the height H1 of the first part 17 of the body 16 is substantially the same as the distance X, or inter-axis, between the two longitudinal axes Y of the two threaded shanks 18, when the two hinging elements 12 and 14 are pivoted to each other.
  • the inter-axis X normally has a standardized value in the market of hinges for frames or furniture.
  • the height H2 of the second part 22 of the body 16 is substantially equal to, or less than, the height H1 of the first part 17.
  • the hinge 10 according to the present invention can be mounted using templates, or other standard equipment, and is therefore interchangeable with those of a known type.
  • each attachment shank 18 is substantially equidistant from an external shoulder 19 of the first part of the body 16 and from an internal shoulder 21 of the internal cavity 20.
  • each hinging element 12, 14 also comprises a ball 24, or similar contact element, inserted at the end of the pin 22 and able to be disposed in contact with the bottom of the internal cavity 20 of another hinging element 12, 14, so as to improve the coupling of the pin-internal cavity.
  • each pin 22 and each internal cavity 20 have a conical shape, in order to allow an easier insertion of the two hinging elements 12 and 14.
  • each hinging element 12, 14 also comprises a ball 26, or similar contact element, inserted inside the respective cavity 20 and able to be disposed in contact with the end of the pin 22 of another hinging element 12, 14, in order to improve the coupling of the pin-internal cavity.
  • each hinging element 12, 14 is disposed at the upper end of the first part 17, where the pin 22 starts, whereas the internal shoulder 21 of the internal cavity 20 is made inside the same.
