Description

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des charnières, en particulier des charnières pour éléments de salle de bain, pour le montage de vitres pivotantes de douches ou de baignoires, par exemple.The invention relates to the field of hinges, in particular hinges for bathroom elements, for mounting pivoting windows showers or baths, for example.

Sont concernés une charnière en tant que telle et un ensemble comprenant au moins une telle charnière et l'élément précité à monter articulé.Are concerned a hinge as such and an assembly comprising at least one such hinge and the aforementioned element articulated mount.

Est connue une charnière pour articuler, par rapport à un premier élément, un second élément s'étendant globalement dans un plan, la charnière comprenant un support adapté pour être fixé au premier élément et un corps de charnière articulé sur le support suivant un axe parallèle audit plan, le corps de charnière étant adapté à être lié étroitement au second élément.A hinge is known for articulating, with respect to a first element, a second element extending generally in a plane, the hinge comprising a support adapted to be fixed to the first element and a hinge body articulated on the support along a parallel axis. said plane, the hinge body being adapted to be closely connected to the second element.

Un problème concerne ici la liaison entre ledit second élément et le corps de charnière.A problem here relates to the connection between said second element and the hinge body.

Traditionnellement, des vis traversent le corps de charnière et le second élément qui ont été percés préalablement en conséquence, perpendiculairement au plan de ce second élément et de l'axe d'articulation (voir par exemple les documents EP 1 428 964 et GB 1 453 228 ).Traditionally, screws pass through the hinge body and the second element which have been drilled accordingly, perpendicular to the plane of this second element and the hinge pin (see for example the documents EP 1 428 964 and GB 1 453 228 ).

Un but de l'invention est d'assurer une liaison discrète, performante, fiable, aisée à réaliser et commercialement compétitive.An object of the invention is to provide a discrete link, efficient, reliable, easy to achieve and commercially competitive.

Une solution proposée consiste en ce que :

  • la liaison corps de charnière/second élément est réalisée par au moins un élément de liaison qui, dans le plan de ce second élément ou suivant une direction ayant une composante dans ce plan, créé une pression sur cet élément et le corps de charnière,
    • * par son déplacement suivi de son blocage dans ledit plan ou suivant ladite direction,
    • * et/ou, dans une approche a priori moins performante, par serrage élastique, en étant interposé, entre ledit second élément et le corps de charnière.
One proposed solution is that:
  • the hinge body / second element connection is made by at least one connecting element which, in the plane of this second element or in a direction having a component in this plane, creates a pressure on this element and the hinge body,
    • * by its displacement followed by its blocking in said plane or in said direction,
    • * and / or, in an approach a priori less efficient, by elastic clamping, being interposed between said second element and the hinge body.

Favorablement :

  • le corps de charnière présentera une forme en relief adaptée pour s'engager dans une forme complémentaire en creux du second élément, ouverte latéralement, pour l'engagement dudit corps,
  • et le corps de charnière s'étendra globalement dans un plan et présente, périphériquement, sur sa tranche, un profil en creux d'où émerge, dans ledit plan et suivant une direction transversale à celle suivant laquelle le corps de charnière doit s'engager dans ladite forme en creux du second élément, un élément saillant d'appui adapté pour agir localement sur le pourtour de la forme en creux du second élément, en bloquant alors ce dernier avec le corps de charnière, par pression dans ce plan.
Favorably:
  • the hinge body will have a raised shape adapted to engage in a recessed complementary shape of the second element, open laterally, for the engagement of said body,
  • and the hinge body will generally extend in a plane and present, peripherally, on its edge, a hollow profile from which emerges, in said plane and in a direction transverse to that according to which the hinge body must engage in said recessed form of the second element, a bearing protruding element adapted to act locally on the periphery of the recessed shape of the second element, thereby locking the latter with the hinge body, by pressing in this plane.

Pour un tel montage ensemble de la charnière et du second élément, on conseille que leur liaison soit réalisée par un effet de serrage, et/ou de déplacement relatif puis blocage, entre eux ou entre le second élément et au moins un élément intermédiaire de liaison, dans ledit plan de ce second élément ou suivant une direction ayant une composante dans ce plan.For such an assembly together of the hinge and the second element, it is recommended that their connection is achieved by a clamping effect, and / or relative movement and blocking, between them or between the second element and at least one intermediate connecting element. , in said plane of this second element or in a direction having a component in this plane.

On notera que l'expression « dans le plan » ou « parallèlement audit plan » sont ici des synonymes. L'essentiel est l'orientation dans ce plan. Typiquement, il s'agira du plan de la vitre à monter et/ou de celui qui contient, ou est parallèle à, l'axe d'articulation (simple ou non) du corps de charnière par rapport au support et dans lequel s'étend globalement ce corps de charnière.Note that the expression "in the plane" or "parallel to said plane" are synonymous here. The essential is the orientation in this plan. Typically, it will be the plane of the window to be mounted and / or that which contains, or is parallel to, the axis of articulation (simple or not) of the hinge body relative to the support and in which extends globally this hinge body.

Par ailleurs, et de préférence, l'élément de liaison précité comprendra au moins une pièce d'appui sur le second élément, déplaçable de façon guidée, en périphérie du corps de charnière, suivant une direction parallèle audit plan, sous l'action d'un moyen de pression monté sur le corps de charnière.Furthermore, and preferably, the aforementioned connecting element will comprise at least one support piece on the second element, guided displacement, at the periphery of the hinge body, in a direction parallel to said plane, under the action of a pressure means mounted on the hinge body.

Ainsi, le démontage du second élément sera aisé, sans altérer la discrétion du montage, et l'effet de serrage sera réalisé de façon performante.Thus, disassembly of the second element will be easy, without altering the discretion of the assembly, and the clamping effect will be achieved in a powerful way.

A titre complémentaire, on conseille que l'élément d'appui traverse un passage du corps de charnière pour émerger localement à travers le profil en creux de celui-ci, l'élément d'appui étant mû par un moyen de pression de préférence monté mobile, dans ledit plan, à l'intérieur du corps de charnière contre lequel il prend appui.In addition, it is recommended that the support element passes through a passage of the hinge body to emerge locally through the recessed profile thereof, the support element being moved by a preferably mounted pressure means. mobile, in said plane, inside the hinge body against which it is supported.

Ceci alliera discrétion, efficacité et simplicité de réalisation.This will combine discretion, efficiency and simplicity of realization.

Favorablement, la pièce d'appui offrira par ailleurs un chant extérieur d'appui présentant un profil en biseau et le second élément présentera, en regard, un chant en biseau complémentaire.Favorably, the support piece will also provide an outer support song having a bevel profile and the second element will present, facing, a complementary bevel edge.

En alternative ou en complément, la tranche du corps de charnière présentera également un profil en biseau. On peut également prévoir que le profil en creux de cette tranche du corps de charnière, et/ou extérieurement l'élément d'appui, présente(nt) une forme en U.Alternatively or additionally, the edge of the hinge body will also have a bevel profile. It is also possible that the hollow profile of this slice of the hinge body, and / or externally the support member has a U-shape.

On notera que, bien qu'inclinées par rapport au plan précité, la/les pente (s) desdits biseaux ne remettent pas en cause le serrage que l'on considère ici assuré globalement dans ledit plan.It will be noted that, although inclined with respect to the above plane, the slope (s) of said bevels do not call into question the tightening that is considered here ensured globally in said plane.

En outre, d'autant plus avec des biseaux double, en V, on obtiendra un guidage terminal et un maintien latéral performant, avec un effet de centrage relatif entre le second élément et le corps de charnière.In addition, all the more with double V-shaped bevels, one will obtain a terminal guide and a high lateral support, with a relative centering effect between the second element and the hinge body.

Avec l'alternative à profil en U, en particulier avec un profil en forme de gorge creuse en périphérie du corps de charnière, sur son chant, et/ou sur le côté extérieur de l'élément d'appui, on pourra atteindre un effet comparable, le centrage étant toutefois a priori moins efficace.With the U-profile alternative, especially with a hollow groove profile at the periphery of the hinge body, on its edge, and / or on the outer side of the support element, an effect can be achieved. comparable, the centering is a priori less effective.

Pour réaliser une charnière compacte, donc discrète, avec des conditions de fabrication économique, tout en facilitant les opérations de montage/démontage des éléments constituant la charnière, on conseille par ailleurs que le moyen de pression précité soit monté dans un passage intérieur du corps de charnière qui intercepte un autre passage intérieur de ce corps s'étendant dans ledit plan et recevant un arbre pour le pivotement du corps de charnière et du second élément lié à lui, par rapport au support, autour dudit axe d'articulation, cet arbre traversant une partie du support autour duquel s'articule le corps de charnière.To achieve a compact hinge, so discreet, with economical manufacturing conditions, while facilitating assembly / disassembly of the elements constituting the hinge, it is furthermore recommended that the aforesaid pressure means be mounted in an internal passage of the body of hinge which intercepts another inner passage of this body extending in said plane and receiving a shaft for pivoting of the hinge body and the second element connected thereto, relative to the support, about said hinge axis, said traversing shaft part of the support around which the hinge body is articulated.

Pour faciliter la commande de la pièce d'appui et l'accès à la pièce de pression par l'utilisateur, on conseille en outre qu'un moyen à renvoi d'angle soit interposé entre la pièce de pression et la pièce d'appui.To facilitate the control of the support piece and the access to the pressure piece by the user, it is furthermore recommended that a means of return of angle be interposed between the pressure piece and the support piece. .

On notera encore que différentes solutions de maintien relatif entre le corps de charnière et le second élément à monter articulé ont été envisagées, de préférence en liaison avec une forme en creux découpée dans ce second élément.It will also be noted that different relative holding solutions between the hinge body and the second articulated mounting element have been envisaged, preferably in connection with a recessed hollow shape in this second element.

On peut citer :

  • un maintien par serrage, via lesdits éléments d'appui et de pression précités, l'élément d'appui pouvant être un tenon mobile s'engageant dans une découpe complémentaire réalisée localement dans la forme en creux précitée, ou encore une pièce plus allongée mue de préférence par le système à renvoi d'angle déjà cité,
  • un maintien par serrage, via un joint à profil en H, en U ou en V, interposé entre les chants du second élément et du corps de charnière.
We can cite :

Figures 1 à 3, la charnière 1 comprend un support 3 sur lequel s'articule un corps de charnière 5, par l'intermédiaire d'un arbre 7 (figure 2 uniquement) engagé dans un passage 9 formé pour partie dans l'aile centrale 3a du support 3, pour partie dans les deux ailes latérales, respectivement supérieure et inférieure, 5a, 5a' du corps 5. Figures 1 to 3 , the hinge 1 comprises a support 3 on which a hinge body 5 is articulated, via a shaft 7 ( figure 2 only) engaged in a passage 9 formed partly in the central wing 3a of the support 3, partly in the two lateral wings, respectively upper and lower, 5a, 5a 'of the body 5.

Favorablement, le corps 5 est monobloc, en une seule pièce.Favorably, the body 5 is monobloc, in one piece.

L'axe 9a du passage 9 définit l'axe de rotation du corps 5 par rapport au support 3.The axis 9a of the passage 9 defines the axis of rotation of the body 5 with respect to the support 3.

Figures 2 et 3, des vis 17a, 17b permettent de serrer plus au moins l'arbre 7 contre un galet 19 soumis à la contre-poussée de moyens élastiques 21a, 21b, rendant ainsi plus ou moins libre la rotation autour de l'axe 9a. Figures 2 and 3 , screws 17a, 17b are used to tighten more or less the shaft 7 against a roller 19 subjected to the counter-thrust of elastic means 21a, 21b, thus making more or less free rotation around the axis 9a.

Transversalement, ici perpendiculairement, à l'aile centrale 3a, le support 3 comprend deux ailes transversales 3b1, 3b2. Ces ailes sont traversées par des orifices 11 pour une fixation, via des vis, au premier élément 13 (figure 1), tel qu'un mur, auquel on souhaite lier de façon mobile, par l'intermédiaire de cette charnière, un second élément 15, tel qu'une vitre ou une autre paroi.Transversally, here perpendicular to the central wing 3a, the support 3 comprises two transverse wings 3b1, 3b2. These wings are traversed by orifices 11 for attachment, via screws, to the first element 13 ( figure 1 ), such as a wall, which one wishes to link in a mobile way, via this hinge, a second element 15, such as a window or other wall.

Les ailes 3b1, 3b2 définissent une plaque murale, les éléments 21a, 21b un ressort de galet et l'élément 3a est souvent dénommé noeud.The wings 3b1, 3b2 define a wall plate, the elements 21a, 21b a roller spring and the element 3a is often referred to as a node.

La liaison entre le corps 5 et l'élément 15, ci-après dénommée « vitre », va s'effectuer par serrage, ici consécutivement à l'engagement du corps, qui forme une structure saillante, dans la forme en creux 15a que présente l'élément 15, localement, sur l'un de ses côtés.The connection between the body 5 and the element 15, hereinafter referred to as "glass", will be effected by clamping, here following the engagement of the body, which forms a protruding structure, in the recessed shape 15a that the present element 15, locally, on one of its sides.

De façon générale, cet élément 15 est plan. Ce plan est ici repéré 23 et est également celui dans lequel s'étend globalement le corps 5 de la charnière (voir figure 2).In general, this element 15 is plane. This plane is here marked 23 and is also the one in which the body 5 of the hinge (see FIG. figure 2 ).

C'est dans ce plan 23 que va s'effectuer la fixation entre la charnière et la vitre 15, la forme en creux 15a étant ouverte en 150, pour l'engagement du corps 5.It is in this plane 23 that the fixing between the hinge and the pane 15 will take place, the recessed shape 15a being open at 150, for the engagement of the body 5.

Figure 1, en périphérie, sur sa tranche, le corps de charnière 5 présente une gorge 25, ici à profil en U, suivant ses trois côtés et est engagé avec un léger jeu dans la forme en creux complémentaire 15a. Figure 1 , peripherally, on its edge, the hinge body 5 has a groove 25, here U-profile, along its three sides and is engaged with a slight clearance in the complementary hollow shape 15a.

Localement, sur l'un des côtés, en 27, apparaît figure 1 une pièce ou élément d'appui qui se dresse à l'intérieur de la gorge 25, dans le plan 23 et transversalement, ici perpendiculairement, à la direction 29 (figures 2 et 4) suivant laquelle le corps 5 s'engage dans ladite forme 15a.Locally, on one of the sides, in 27, appears figure 1 a part or support element which is situated inside the groove 25, in the plane 23 and transversely, here perpendicularly, to the direction 29 ( figures 2 and 4 ) according to which the body 5 engages in said shape 15a.

Figures 2 et 3, on retrouve l'élément d'appui 27 et la gorge 25. Figures 2 and 3 we find the support element 27 and the groove 25.

L'élément 27 est guidé dans la direction 29a perpendiculaire à 29, suivant le plan 23, par les parois latérales intérieures du corps, telles que 31a, 31b (figure 2), sous la commande de l'élément de pression 33.The element 27 is guided in the direction 29a perpendicular to 29, along the plane 23, by the walls lateral sides of the body, such as 31a, 31b ( figure 2 ) under the control of the pressure element 33.

Cet élément de pression, ici une vis en prise dans un passage intérieur 35 du corps 5, est monté dans le plan 23, parallèlement à la direction d'engagement 29.This pressure element, here a screw engaged in an internal passage 35 of the body 5, is mounted in the plane 23, parallel to the engagement direction 29.

Elle débouche sur le chant caché 25a et est manoeuvrable extérieurement par là. Elle agit axialement, ici sur une pièce de renvoi d'angle 37 qui définit une cale de serrage dont la pente en biais 37a transmet le mouvement à celle de la pièce 27 qui définit donc une sorte de mors de serrage.It leads to the hidden song 25a and is maneuverable externally there. It acts axially, here on an angle piece 37 which defines a shim whose inclined slope 37a transmits the movement to that of the part 27 which therefore defines a kind of clamping jaw.

Les passages intérieurs 9 et 35 s'interceptent.Inner passages 9 and 35 intersect.

La figure 3 montre bien l'engagement et le blocage de la vitre 15 dans la gorge 25, entre les ailes latérales saillantes 25b, 25c de cette gorge dont les arêtes extérieures viennent au demeurant affleurer les faces opposées de la vitre. On voit également clairement l'action de pression sur cette vitre du mors 27, dans le plan 23.The figure 3 shows the commitment and the blocking of the window 15 in the groove 25, between the projecting lateral flanges 25b, 25c of this groove whose outer edges are flush with the opposite faces of the window. The pressure action on this glass of the jaw 27 is also clearly seen in the plane 23.

Figures 5 et 6, on retrouve le même système de charnière que figures 1 à 3, à ceci près que la gorge précitée, ici repérée 45, est à profil creux en biseau, plus précisément en V, dans cet exemple favorable. Figures 5 and 6 , we find the same hinge system as Figures 1 to 3 , except that the aforementioned groove, here marked 45, has a bevelled hollow profile, more precisely V, in this favorable example.

Un biseau complémentaire en V centré, en saillie, 150a, apparaît sur la tranche de la vitre 15, tout le long du bord de sa découpe en creux 15a.A complementary wedge V centered, projecting, 150a, appears on the edge of the pane 15, all along the edge of its recessed cutout 15a.

Sur la tranche extérieure 27b d'appui orientée face au chant 150a de la vitre, la pièce d'appui 27 est elle-même à profil en biseau, tel qu'en V (figure 6).On the outer edge 27b of support facing the edge 150a of the window, the support piece 27 is itself bevelled profile, such as V ( figure 6 ).

Les flèches 41a, 41b1, 41b2 montrent, figure 6, que l'action de la vis 33 vers la vitre, dans le sens de la flèche 41a, donc dans le plan 23, provoque, par le renvoi d'angle 37, et toujours dans ce plan, le déplacement transversal de la pièce d'appui 27 (flèche 41b2 vers le bas) avec, par réaction, une pression vers le haut, suivant la direction de la flèche coplanaire opposée 41b1.The arrows 41a, 41b1, 41b2 show, figure 6 , that the action of the screw 33 towards the window, in the direction of the arrow 41a, so in the plane 23, causes, by the Angle gear 37, and always in this plane, the transverse displacement of the support piece 27 (arrow 41b2 downwards) with, by reaction, an upward pressure in the direction of the opposite coplanar arrow 41b1.

Figure 7, de la charnière, seul le corps 5 est schématisé. Figure 7 of the hinge, only the body 5 is schematized.

La vis de pression 33 agit directement contre l'élément d'appui 50, à profil d'extrémité 51 en V, prévu pour s'engager à la manière d'un tenon dans la découpe 53 de la vitre 15 dont les parois latérales, telles que 53a pour celles que l'on voit, sont également en V, mais saillant.The pressure screw 33 acts directly against the support element 50, end profile 51 V, provided to engage in the manner of a pin in the cutout 53 of the pane 15 whose side walls, such as 53a for those we see, are also in V, but salient.

La découpe de verrouillage 53 débouche à l'endroit de la tranche de la vitre, sur le pourtour de sa forme en creux 15a, et est formée, dans le plan 23, perpendiculairement à la direction 29 d'engagement du corps de charnière 5 dans cette forme en creux.The locking cutout 53 opens out at the edge of the window pane, around the periphery of its recessed shape 15a, and is formed, in the plane 23, perpendicular to the direction of engagement with the hinge body 5 in this hollow form.

Plutôt que des formes complémentaires en biseaux, des formes de chant en U d'un côté et chant droit de l'autre auraient pu convenir.Rather than complementary bevel shapes, U-shaped edges on one side and straight edges on the other could have been suitable.

Une fois engagé en fond de découpe, dans le plan 23, le tenon 50 serre et bloque ensemble la vitre 15 et la charnière.Once engaged in the cutting plane, in the plane 23, the post 50 clamps and blocks together the window 15 and the hinge.

Figure 8, le maintien serré, toujours globalement dans le plan 23, entre la charnière, via son corps de charnière 5, et l'élément globalement plan à maintenir de façon articulée, telle que la vitre 15, est assuré par intermédiaire d'un joint élastique 55 en forme de ruban. Figure 8 , maintaining tightly, always globally in the plane 23, between the hinge, via its hinge body 5, and the generally planar element to maintain an articulated manner, such as the window 15, is provided by means of an elastic seal 55 in the form of a ribbon.

Ce joint est interposé, dans un état comprimé et dans le plan 23, entre les chants respectifs de la vitre et du corps 5, à l'endroit de leurs formes interengagées précitées en creux et en relief.This seal is interposed, in a compressed state and in the plane 23, between the respective edges of the window and the body 5, at the location of their aforementioned interengaged shapes recessed and raised.

C'est dans l'espace réservé entre eux, de fabrication, qu'est interposé, serré, le joint.It is in the space reserved between them, of manufacture, that is interposed, tight, the joint.

En section, perpendiculairement au plan 23, le joint peut présenter un profil à double gorge en H.In section, perpendicular to the plane 23, the seal may have a double groove profile in H.

Les chants, respectivement de la vitre et du corps 5 de charnière, le long de leurs formes respectivement en creux et en relief (voir ici découpe 15a de la vitre) seront alors de préférence droits.The edges, respectively of the glass and the hinge body 5, along their respectively recessed and raised shapes (see here cut-out 15a of the window) will then preferably be straight.

On peut aussi imaginer une forme à gorge en U sur la périphérie du corps 5, comme figure 3, voire sur la vitre (plus délicat toutefois), le joint pouvant alors être à profil en U s'engageant d'un côté entre les ailes 25b, 25c de la gorge du corps et recevant de l'autre le bord de la vitre, entre ses propres ailes latérales.One can also imagine a U-shaped groove on the periphery of the body 5, as figure 3 or even on the window (more delicate however), the seal can then be U-profile engaging on one side between the flanges 25b, 25c of the groove of the body and receiving the other edge of the window, between its own side wings.

Cette solution est plus simple mécaniquement et procure le même effet de serrage dans le plan 23 que les précédentes.This solution is simpler mechanically and provides the same clamping effect in the plane 23 as the previous ones.

Elle dispense des organes de pression et d'appui.It dispenses pressure and support organs.

La pression élastique est assurée par le joint 55, suivant les deux directions principales de coincement figurées 55a, 55b, perpendiculairement à la direction d'engagement 29.The elastic pressure is provided by the seal 55, following the two main directions of jamming represented 55a, 55b, perpendicular to the direction of engagement 29.

Cette solution est toutefois moins discrète.This solution is however less discreet.

Dans tous les cas précités, un démontage de la vitre 15 est possible, d'autant plus facilement avec les solutions à élément d'appui 27 ou 50, par dévissage de la vis 33, et grâce au léger jeu entre les formes interengagées en creux et en saillie.In all the aforementioned cases, disassembly of the window 15 is possible, all the more easily with the solutions bearing element 27 or 50, by unscrewing the screw 33, and thanks to the slight clearance between the interengaged shapes hollow and protruding.

En variantes, on aurait pu :

  • intervertir les formes en saillie et en creux entre la vitre 15 et le corps de charnière 5,
  • intervertir les formes en saillie et en creux entre les chants en V de la vitre et du corps de charnière.
In variants, we could have:
  • interchange the protruding and recessed shapes between the window 15 and the hinge body 5,
  • interchange the protruding and recessed forms between the V-shaped edges of the glass and the hinge body.

Par ailleurs, l'élément de pression 33 prenant appui, pour agir, dans le corps de charnière, un organe de traction plutôt que de poussée pourrait convenir.Furthermore, the pressure element 33 bearing, in order to act, in the hinge body, a traction member rather than a thrust member could be suitable.

En outre, dans tous les exemples, les deux faces du corps de charnière, y compris les prolongements latéraux 25b, 25c (figures 1 et 3) viennent sensiblement de niveau avec, c'est-à-dire sensiblement affleurer, celles de la vitre, rendant ainsi encore plus discret le montage.In addition, in all the examples, both sides of the hinge body, including the lateral extensions 25b, 25c ( figures 1 and 3 ) are substantially level with, that is to say substantially flush with those of the glass, thus making the mounting even more discreet.

La figure 9 montre une solution correspondant à celle de la figure 2, à ceci près que l'on trouve deux éléments d'appui, ou patins coulissants, 27a, 27b fonctionnant et montés chacun comme l'élément d'appui 27 de cette figure 2, respectivement en haut et en bas du corps de charnière 5.The figure 9 shows a solution corresponding to that of the figure 2 , except that there are two support elements, or sliding shoes, 27a, 27b each functioning and mounted as the support element 27 of this figure 2 respectively at the top and bottom of the hinge body 5.

Deux ensembles de commande 100a, 100b sont prévus, chacun identiques à l'ensemble de commande 100 de la figure 2 (qui comprend les organes 33, 37) et permettant, depuis l'extérieur du corps de charnière 5, d'agir sur le mouvement des éléments 27a, 27b dans le plan général 23 de la vitre à maintenir.Two control assemblies 100a, 100b are provided, each identical to the control assembly 100 of the figure 2 (which comprises the members 33, 37) and allowing, from outside the hinge body 5, to act on the movement of the elements 27a, 27b in the general plane 23 of the window to be maintained.

On aura noté que les deux éléments d'appui 27a, 27b sont montés suivant deux sens opposés, dans le plan général 23 de la pièce 15, à travers deux ouvertures respectivement supérieure et inférieure du corps, débouchant dans le fond des portions respectivement supérieure et inférieure de la tranche du corps 5, à l'endroit de sa gorge 25.It will be noted that the two support elements 27a, 27b are mounted in two opposite directions, in the general plane 23 of the part 15, through two respectively upper and lower openings of the body, opening into the bottom of the portions respectively upper and lower part of the body 5 at the place of its groove 25.

Ainsi, on pourrait initier le serrage coplanaire par exemple en bas, en agissant sur la vis 33b d'entraînement du patin 27b, et en poursuivant ce serrage par le patin supérieur 27a via la vis 33a.Thus, one could initiate the coplanar clamping for example down, by acting on the drive screw 33b of the pad 27b, and continuing this clamping by the upper pad 27a via the screw 33a.
