Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hinge for doors or windows, in particular but not exclusively, doors or windows of medium-large size and hence relatively heavy.
  • Hinges for doors and windows of this type currently available on the market can be divided broadly into the following two types:
  • This specification refers to hinges of the second type, that is, traditional hinges, used on medium-large door or window units.
  • Hinges of this type consist basically of components used for doors and windows that are smaller and lighter.
  • the components are essentially the following:
  • the hinge flaps are fastened to the respective frames by screws that act on one of the following two types of retaining means that push against the inside of the groove and, more specifically, on the inside walls of the groove which is defined by a pair of upturned L-shaped protrusions facing each other:
  • This specification relates to the second type of fastening, which is much simpler than the first type since the plate is pre-fitted to the screw and is inserted into the profile groove substantially from the front. When the screw is turned, the plate also turns, thereby coming into contact with the opposite walls of the groove and generating a force that opposes the screw.
  • Tightening the screw further causes the plate to stop turning and to remain fixed, forcing it to move gradually closer to the L-shaped protrusions until it presses hard against the protrusions (and also against the sides of the protrusions) in such a way as to securely lock the hinge flap in place.
  • the profile includes non-metallic components along the length of the profile (in particular, but not necessarily, bars extending along the central portion of the profile) which undoubtedly improve thermal insulation but may negatively affect bending strength, making the profile parts less resistant to deformation under the weight of the door or window.
  • the protrusions may bend under the pushing force applied by the plate, widening the groove and causing general misalignment of the door or window. In many cases, this misalignment cannot be rectified and eventually leads to fatigue breakage.
  • This invention therefore has for an aim to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages by providing a door and window hinge provided with a fastening system that is at once extremely simple and reliable and that reinforces the protrusions from the inside of the groove but without altering the basic structure of the hinge.
  • the present invention achieves this aim with a hinge, in particular a hinge for metal doors and windows comprising the technical characteristics set out in independent claim 1.
  • the hinge according to the invention labelled 6 in its entirety, is applied to medium-large and relatively heavy doors and/or windows installed in large indoor areas (such as shopping centres, for example).
  • doors and windows comprise a fixed frame 1 and a mobile frame 2 whose profiles form respective longitudinal fastening grooves C1, C2 each comprised of a pair 3, 4 of facing upturned L-shaped protrusions or "wings" defining an upper longitudinal opening 5 defined by the distance between the transversal sections 3a, 4a of the L.
  • the hinge 6 applied to these doors and windows is of partly known type and comprises at least the following:
  • first and second fastening means 9 and 12 each comprise, by way of example, three screw elements 14 inserted into respective holes 15 made in the flaps 8 and 11.
  • the screw elements 14 operate on respective stop-lock elements 16 acting on the protrusions 3 and 4 and are housed in the respective grooves C1 and C2 of the fixed and mobile frames 1 and 2.
  • each stop-lock element comprises a single flat block or plate 16 which, viewed from above, has a substantially polygonal shape.
  • protuberances 18, 19 which, upon screw fastening, penetrate simultaneously both frontally, that is to say, into the longitudinal sections 3b, 4b of the protrusions 3, 4, and vertically, that is to say, into the inside surface of the transversal sections 3a, 4a of the protrusions 3, 4.
  • the plate 16 is locked in place inside the groove C1 - C2, the protuberances 18 and 19 engaging both sections of the groove and thus fulfilling the twofold function of: stop for the respective hinge body 7 - 10 and lock for joining the protrusions 3, 4 which are thus combined with the plate 16 itself to form a single block.
  • each edge 16a and 16b of the plate 16 comprises a plurality of serrations 17 alternated with empty spaces for fastening to the respective groove C1 - C2.
  • each serration 17 (which, in practice, defines a part of the protuberances) forms a flat straight surface designed to frontally engage the longitudinal sections 3b, 4b during fastening.
  • Each of the serrations comprises a prismatic body 17 having, on the sides of it, respective wedge-shaped protuberances 19 extending asymmetrically, that is to say, one upwards and the other downwards, so that either one or the other cuts vertically into the inside surface of the transversal sections 3a, 4a, irrespective of which way the plate 16 is fitted into the groove C1 - C2, meaning that the position of the plate 16 in the grooves C1 - C2 is reversible (and thus suitable for both right- and left-hand opening doors and windows).
  • the structure of the plate 15 is completed by a full central part 16c having respective edge portions 20, 21 extending at an angle in mutually opposite directions relative to a longitudinal axis X of extension of the plate 16.
  • the plate 16 also has smooth edge portions 22 and 23 (opposite the serrated edges 16a and 16b) adjoining the edge portions 20 and 21 of the central part 16c; each of the edge portions 22 and 23 is inclined at the same angle as the corresponding edge portion 20 and 21 of the central part, thus creating the above mentioned rhomboidal shape enabling the plate 16 to be housed frontally in the respective groove C1 - C2.
  • This special geometrical shape enables the plate 16 to be inserted into the groove C1 - C2 substantially at an angle (and thus frontally) and then turned, once inside the groove C1 - C2, so as to bring the edges 16a and 16b into contact with the sections 3b and 4b of the protrusions 3 and 4, thus also enabling part of the central body 16c to be stopped and locked in place against the transversal sections 3a and 4a after fastening.
  • the plate 16 has three threaded through holes 24 designed to be engaged by the above mentioned screw fastening elements 14.
  • Each of the holes 24 has an open, threaded cylindrical extension 25 protruding from one of the surfaces of the plate 16: the extension 25 provides an added threaded surface for fastening with the screws 14.
  • the hinge bodies 7 and 10 each provided with a plate 16, are placed on the respective grooves C1 and C2 (see Figure 1 ) after inserting the plates 16 into the respective grooves C1 - C2.
  • the installer slides the hinge body 7 and 10 to the point chosen for fitting the hinge and can start tightening at least one of the screw elements 14.
  • tightening begins with the middle screw element 14, the one that most easily imparts rotation to the respective plate 16 by just a few degrees (arrow F1, Figures 3 and 4 ) so as to cause the two edges 16a and 16b with the serrations 17 to lock against the inside surfaces of the two longitudinal sections 3b, 4b of the protrusions 3 and 4 which are thus penetrated by the outer front surface 18 of the serrations 17 themselves.
  • a hinge made as described above fully achieves the aforementioned aims thanks to the special structure of the stop-lock elements.
  • the serrations have a sort of "double profile" for cutting into the protrusions and creating a solid hinge structure that holds the entire half-part more securely and increases its grip inside the groove both laterally and perpendicularly: this is achieved by the firm grip of the serrations which penetrate the sides of the groove and reduce the risk of the individual parts of the protrusions bending or yielding.
