Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hinging device for doors of furniture units of vehicles, particularly caravans, motorhomes and boats.
  • Such hinges in point of fact, leave the door completely free to rotate with respect to the furniture unit and are not able to provide any push or pull to make opening and/or closing the door easier.
  • Integrated between the slabs and the arms are elastic push means that allow dragging the furniture unit door in rotation.
  • the elastic means consist, e.g., in one or more helical metal springs of the traditional type, or else are composed of particularly strong metal-plate component parts suitable for bending and exploiting the elasticity of the material of which they are made.
  • the gas springs in point of fact, are made up of a small compression-charged pneumatic cylinder the extremities of which are hinged to the furniture unit and the door respectively.
  • the door is first of all assembled and made turnable with respect to the furniture unit by means of two or more hinges of the traditional type.
  • the main aim of this invention is to provide a hinging device for doors of furniture units of vehicles, particularly caravans, motorhomes and boats, which has a very simple structure, is easy to make, has particularly low fabrication, installation and labour costs and, once assembled, permits the opening and closing of the doors in a practical, easy, functional and effortless way for the user.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a hinging device for doors of furniture units of vehicles, particularly caravans, motorhomes and boats, which permits overcoming the mentioned drawbacks of the state of the art within the ambit of a simple and rational solution that is easy and effective to use and has a low cost.
  • this hinging device for doors of furniture units of vehicles, particularly caravans, motorhomes and boats, characterized by the fact that it comprises at least a first element associable with at least a furniture unit, at least a second element associable with at least a door, rotation means which are placed between said first element and said second element and which are suitable for permitting the mutual rotation substantially around a swinging axis between a closing configuration of said door and an opening configuration of said door, and at least a gas spring which is provided with a first extremity associable with said first element and with a second extremity associable with said second element and which is suitable for making the opening and/or the closing of said door easier.
  • 1 is used generally to indicate a hinging device for doors of furniture units of vehicles, particularly caravans, motorhomes and boats.
  • the device 1 is intended to be fitted on a furniture unit 2 to allow the hinging of a door 3.
  • the furniture unit 2 shown in the figures 1 and 2 consists, for example, in a small wall cabinet which has a base surface 4, a cap 5 and two side walls 6.
  • the rear face of the small cabinet 2 is closed by means of a bottom wall 7 while the front face is open and can be re-closed by means of the door 3.
  • the furniture unit 2 has a surround strip 8.
  • the device 1 can be also fitted on furniture units 2 of different shape compared to that shown and, for example, without the surround strip 8.
  • the rotation of the door 3 is achieved by means of the device 1 and of a hinge 9 of the traditional type; alternative manufacturing solutions are however possible in which the hinge 9 is not provided and two or more devices 1 are fitted on the furniture unit 2.
  • the device 1 comprises a first element 10 associable with the furniture unit 2 and a second element 11 associable with the door 3, between which are placed rotation means 12 which are suitable for allowing their mutual rotation substantially around a swinging axis A between a closing configuration of the door 3 and an opening configuration of the door 3.
  • the swinging axis A is suitable for being placed parallel and substantially coinciding with a side of the front face of the furniture unit 2.
  • the device 1 is fitted at one of the two upper corners of the front face of the furniture unit 2 and the swinging axis A is arranged coinciding with the upper side of the front face so that the door 3 can be opened by rotating it upwards.
  • the device 1 is fitted close to the lower corners of the furniture unit 2 and/or in which the swinging axis A is arranged along the lower side or along the sides of the front face of the furniture unit 2.
  • the first element 10 comprises a first slab 13 for attaching to a first inner surface of the furniture unit 2, i.e. one of the side walls 6, a second slab 14 for attaching to a second inner surface of the furniture unit 2, i.e. the cap 5, and a third slab 15 for attaching to the surround strip 8 of the furniture unit 2.
  • the slabs 13, 14, 15, in actual fact, make it possible to stably fasten the first element 10 to the furniture unit 2 but alternative embodiments cannot however be ruled out in which only one of the slabs 13, 14, 15, is provided or else only two of these are provided.
  • Each slab 13, 14, 15 is associated at right angles to the other two and has through holes 16 for fitting pins for attaching to the furniture unit 2, such as, for example screws, rivets, nails, etc...
  • the third slab 15, furthermore, has a bent portion 17 suitable for at least partially wrapping the surround strip 8 and facing out onto the outside of the furniture unit 2.
  • bent portion 17 of the first element 10 is not provided such as, for example, in the case of the furniture unit 2 being without the surround strip 8.
  • the second element 11 comprises a plate 18 with through holes 19 for fitting pins for attaching to an inner surface of the door 3.
  • the plate 18 has an outer face intended to be placed in contact with the door 3 and an inner face from which extends an elongated bracket 20.
  • the elongated bracket 20 is substantially flat and extends at right angles to the plate 18 along a surface parallel to the first slab 13.
  • the rotation means 12 consist in a cylindrical hinge that comprises a first cylindrical seat 21 associated with the bent portion 17, a second cylindrical seat 22 associated with the plate 18, and a rotation hinge 23 fitted inside the first cylindrical seat 21 and the second cylindrical seat 22.
  • a pushing gas spring 24 which is suitable for making opening and/or closing of the door 3 easier.
  • the gas spring 24 is pre-charged in compression and comprises a liner 25 with a substantially cylindrical shape inside which is fitted a sliding piston 26.
  • the liner 25 has a first extremity 27 associable with the first element 10 while the piston 26 comprises a second extremity 28 associable with the second element 11.
  • first extremity 27 is hinged to the first slab 13 around a rotation axis parallel with the swinging axis A and the second extremity 28 is hinged to the elongated bracket 20 around a rotation axis that is also parallel to the swinging axis A.
  • the first element 10 is fastened to the inner surfaces of the furniture unit 2 by means of the slabs 13, 14, 15 while the plate 18 is similarly associated with the door 3.
  • the force of the gas spring 24 is such as to support the weight of the door 3 and keep it open.
  • the device 1 has a first element 10 shaped in the same way as that shown in the figures 1 and 2 except for the fact that the third slab 15 does not have the bent portion 17 but, on the contrary, has an L-shaped body 29.
  • the L-shaped body 29 has an extremity associated with the third slab 15 and the opposite extremity extending towards the outside of the furniture unit 2.
  • the device 1 has a second element 11, with a plate 18 and an elongated bracket 20, and a gas spring 24 that is hinged to the first slab 13 around a rotation axis B and to the elongated bracket 20 around a rotation axis C.
  • the concealed hinge 12 in particular, is composed of an articulated quadrilateral mechanism which comprises two connecting rods 31 that connect the L-shaped body 29 to the box body 30 and which can be fitted at least partially in the box body 30.
  • the rotary movement of the door 3 therefore consists in the rotary-translation movement defined by the articulated quadrilateral mechanism 12 which, nevertheless, taking into account the particular sizing of the connecting rods 31, is substantially similar to a rotation around a swinging axis A coinciding with the upper side of the front face of the furniture unit 2.
  • the gas spring 24 is arranged in a balanced configuration suitable for maintaining the door 3 closed.
  • the rotation axis C of the second extremity 28 is arranged above the lying plane in which the swinging axis A and the rotation axis B of the first extremity 27 are positioned.
  • Such circumstance for example, can be easily obtained by sizing the elongated bracket 20 so that even in closing configuration the rotation axis C of the second extremity 28 remains below the lying plane of the swinging axis A and of the rotation axis B of the first extremity 27.
  • the gas spring 24 exercises a push force that tends to cause the door 3 to open and which permits opening the furniture unit 2 once the removable locking means have been released.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly simple in terms of structure and operation and can be manufactured in a practical and easy way at low costs.
