Definitions
- the present invention relates to hinges having a snap-type opening and closing action, wherein a pair of articulated quadrilaterals, respectively secured to the door and to a wall of a piece of furniture, have some elements in common.
- This kind of hinge is particularly widespread in those applications where it is desirable that a door can be firmly raised when open.
- hinges allow a user to open or close a cabinet by turning the door by 90° with respect to a horizontal axis in order to move it from a raised condition to a lowered condition or vice versa, corresponding to an open or closed cabinet door.
- the hinges keep the door stably closed or open by means of a snap mechanism, which includes one or more springs acting upon the articulated quadrilaterals of the hinges.
- European patent EP 745 172 which relates to a hinge fitted with a spring that acts upon the ends of the rocker arms of one of the articulated quadrilaterals, which in turn are pivoted to the ends of the rocker arms of the other quadrilateral.
- a hinge for this type of application is known from European patent application EP1 138 857 , which hinge is equipped with two springs acting in series upon its articulated quadrilaterals.
- the present invention aims therefore at overcoming what done in the state of the art.
- reference numeral 1 designates as a whole a hinge according to the invention, which is a snap-type hinge with two articulated quadrilaterals having some elements in common.
- Hinge 1 has two fastening plates 2 and 3 respectively intended to be secured (by means of screws) to a wall P and to door A of a piece of furniture such as a hanging cabinet or the like; in this case, as can be seen, plates 2 and 3 of hinge 1 are parallel to each other when the cabinet is in the closed condition, as shown in Fig. 1 ; on the contrary, they lie perpendicular to each other when the door is in the open condition, as shown in Fig. 2 .
- a bracket 4 is integral with plate 2, which bracket represents the frame or fixed side of an articulated quadrilateral that comprises two rocker arms 5 and 7 connected to each other by a connecting rod 6; the latter extends beyond the pivoting point of rocker arm 7, and its extension 8 forms one of the rocker arms of the second articulated quadrilateral of the hinge.
- the second quadrilateral comprises two rocker arms 8, 10 joined by a connecting rod 9, while a plate 3 represents the last side thereof; as can be seen, the connecting rod 9 is formed by the extension of rocker arm 7 of the first quadrilateral, and therefore the two quadrilaterals have some elements in common which connect them kinematically to each other.
- the first quadrilateral comprises bracket 4, rocker arms 5, 7 and connecting rod 6, articulated at vertexes 11, 12, 13 and 14;
- the second quadrilateral comprises rocker arms 8, 10 and connecting rod 9, articulated at vertexes 13, 15, 16 and 17.
- appendixes 18, 19 protrude from respective rocker arms 5 and 7 on the side towards the inside of the articulated quadrilateral; furthermore, according to the preferred embodiment shown in said figures, when the hinge is open or closed two appendixes 18, 19 are on opposite sides with respect to the horizontal line that joins vertexes 11 and 14 of the first articulated quadrilateral.
- Fig. 3 refers to a transitory operating condition between those shown in Figs. 1 and 2 : in this regard, it should be pointed out that in this intermediate condition appendixes 18 and 19 lie substantially in the same straight line, and the distance between one another is therefore the shortest obtainable, due to the geometry of the system.
- Figs. 4 , 5 and 6 there is shown the complete snap mechanism of the hinge, i.e. including a coil spring 20 acting upon articulation point 22 of levers 23, 24; spring 20 is connected on the opposite side to a fixed pin 21 on bracket 4.
- spring 20 is idle; so that during the transition from one condition to the other as the door A is being opened or closed, the spring is pulled determining the snap action of the hinge.
- spring 20 reaches its maximum extension in the intermediate condition shown in Fig. 5 , which shows the transition between the condition of Fig. 4 and that of Fig. 6 : this is due to the geometry of the system of articulated levers 23, 24, which in this condition are symmetrical with respect to the vertical, while appendixes 18, 19 are aligned horizontally.
- levers 23, 24 allow spring 20 to extend up to the condition shown in Fig. 5 , so that, all other conditions being equal, the elastic resistance generated in opposition to the door weight is higher than that of any hinges known in the art.
- the motion of the crank mechanism is symmetrical with respect to the aforementioned dead centre, the behavior of the opening or closing hinge will be symmetrical as well, so that it can be secured to mounting surfaces (i.e. the cabinet door or wall) which may be indifferently perpendicular or parallel to each other.
- hinge 1 fully achieves the object of the invention.
- this effect allows to use a single spring for keeping larger and heavier doors open; also, the spring can be a normal one, i.e. it does not need to be sized bigger in order to support the weight of the door.
- hinge 1 requires no special design measures, since no parts thereof need to be oversized to withstand excessive stresses.
- hinge 1 allows hinge 1 to be used in the case where plates 2, 3 are secured to parallel surfaces, as in the door closed condition shown in Fig. 1 , as well as in the case where they are secured to perpendicular surfaces: in fact, there is no need to use an additional spring in order to compensate for an uneven rotation of the rocker arms caused by lack of parallelism.
- fixed pin 21 on bracket 4 is replaced with a movable pin 21', through which spring 20 is secured to the plate, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8 .
- movable pin 21' is integral with a slider 39 associated with a threaded sleeve 40, which in turn is engaged by a screw 41: by acting upon the latter (e.g. with a screwdriver, as shown), the reaction on threaded sleeve 40 will move slider 39 axially in the directions indicated by the arrows, thereby moving movable pin 21' closer to or farther from articulation point 22 of levers 23 e 24.
- Figs. 9 to 11 show perspective views of such variant equipped with a movable pin in three operating conditions, i.e. with the door closed, half-open (dead centre), and open, respectively.
- FIG. 12 to 14 A second variant of the hinge according to the invention is shown in Figs. 12 to 14 in three operating conditions, i.e. with the door closed, half-open, and open, respectively.
- coil spring 20 which essentially operates under tension, it uses a flexing spring 27 which is visible in the enlarged frames of the respective figures and in more detail in Fig. 15 ; spring 27 is located substantially around articulation point 22 of levers 23, 24, with its two ends resting on the latter.
- a further variant of the hinge according to the invention does not comprise the articulated levers 23 and 24: this case is shown in Figs. 16 and 17 , wherein those parts being structurally or functionally equivalent to those previously described are designated by the same reference numerals.
- this hinge variant is different in that spring 20 operates directly between the appendixes 18, 19.
- the spring is subject to compression and generates the snap action.
- Figs. 16 and 17 is more suitable for use in hinges having flat fastening plates.
- appendixes 18, 19 may however be arranged on rocker arms 8 and 10 of the other articulated quadrilateral, together with spring 20.
