Definitions

  • This invention relates to an adjustable hinge for doors and windows, in particular doors and windows with frames made of metal, PVC or aluminium and wood.
  • the invention relates, in particular, to hinges of medium - to heavy-duty type, that is to say, strong enough to support door and window units of considerable weight.
  • hinges Another important feature of these hinges is that they must permit precise adjustment so as to better adapt the position of the mobile frame of the door/window unit relative to the fixed frame after the unit has been assembled.
  • hinges normally consist of:
  • Each hinge body comprises a cylindrical tubular portion, or socket, and portions or flaps for fastening to the door/window using any of several well-known kinds of fastening means, such as screws for fastening the hinge flaps to the frame members or plugs housed in suitable grooves to abut the flap portion of the hinge body through drive means (all these solutions being well known).
  • the bushes usually consist of a cylindrical element closed at one end and a collar located at the open end which rests against the outer cylindrical surface of the hinge body.
  • a vertical axis (axis of rotation Z)
  • axis Y an axis perpendicular to the vertical plane of the fixed frame
  • axis X an axis parallel to the vertical plane of the door/window frame
  • the adjustment in the axis X is performed (as described for example in patent EP 992.647 to this Applicant) using the bush located in the "female" portion of the hinge (that is, on the upper hinge body associated with the mobile frame).
  • This bush has an outer radial protrusion that engages in a matching notch made in the inside surface of the hole in the hinge body so as to form a pivot point that allows a pendular movement of the bush in both directions as one with the pin it accommodates, this pendular movement being produced by an adjustment device actuated from the outside of the hinge body.
  • the adjustments in the axes Z and Y are usually performed at the lower (or "male") portion of the hinge body, that is to say, the portion nearest the ground or floor.
  • This invention therefore has for an aim to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages by providing an adjustable hinge for doors and windows that is constructionally simple, while having all the technical adjustment features of prior art hinges and offering the possibility of making adjustments that allow the aesthetic quality of the hinge assembly to be maintained at a high standard, that is to say, reducing and/or eliminating the offset between the two cylindrical portions or sockets of the hinges.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide an adjustable hinge structure suitable for different door/window styles and offering the possibility of maintaining, in particular, the optimum functionality and durability of the hinge assembly.
  • the above aim is achieved by a hinge, in particular an adjustable hinge for doors and windows comprising the technical characteristics set out in one or more of the appended claims.
  • the adjustable hinge according to the invention is used preferably but not exclusively for doors and windows 6 of medium to heavy type (that is to say, exterior doors, doors or windows separating communicating rooms, etc.).
  • This hinge denoted in its entirety by the numeral 1, basically comprises: a first hinge body 2 and a second hinge body 3 having respective outside portions 2a, 3a for engaging a hinge pin 4 defining a vertical rotation axis Z for a mobile frame 5 of the door/window 6.
  • Each of the hinge bodies 2 and 3 also has a respective portion 2b, 3b or flap for fastening to the mobile frame 5 and to a fixed frame 7 of the door/window 6, respectively.
  • the flap may have any of several different forms, depending on the hinge style, whether for medium or heavy duty, face-mounted or groove-mounted, etc. without thereby limiting the scope of the inventive concept.
  • Means are also provided for adjusting the mobile frame 5 relative to the fixed frame 7 along an axis X parallel to the vertical plane of the door/window 6, these means being positioned and operative on the hinge body, labelled 2, associated with the mobile frame 5.
  • means 8 are provided between the cartridge 10 and the appendage 9 and act between the same (thereby constituting a part of the above mentioned adjustment means) in such a way as to move the mobile frame 5 in both directions along the axis X parallel to the vertical plane of the door/window 6: this adjustment movement does not affect the cartridge 10 (in the translational sense) which continues to coincide axially with the respective cylindrical portion 3a of the other hinge body 3 thanks to the rotation of the cartridge 10 about the axis Z11 of the pivot pin 11.
  • the cartridge 10 forms part of the above mentioned adjustment means, acting as an abutment for adjusting the hinge body 2 along the axis X (being integral with the hinge pin 4) while, however, continuing to coincide with the tubular part of the other hinge body 3 thanks to its shape and the fact that it is pivotally mounted by the pivoting pin 11.
  • the appendage 9 is composed of: a first part 9a, with the cylindrical hole 13 for housing the pivoting pin 11, close to the zone adjoining the portion or flap 2b, and a second part 9b defining an uninterrupted extension of the first part 9a and tapering towards the free end.
  • the cartridge 10 (see Figure 4 in particular) is made of metallic material and has a first, closed end provided with a first, central hole 14 for stably engaging the hinge pin 4, and the above mentioned second hole 12, offset relative to the first hole 14 and designed to house a portion of the pivoting pin 11.
  • the hinge pin 4 cylindrical portion 4a associated with the cartridge 10 has a rough outside surface designed to allow the pin 4 to be made integral with the cartridge 10: that way, the movement of the hinge body 2 and of the mobile frame 5 along the axis X is isolated from the hinge pin 4 by the cartridge 10.
  • the cartridge 10 is open lengthways to form a C section in such a way that, in use, the free ends of the C section are near the projecting appendage 9 to surround the appendage 9 on two sides.
  • the spacing D between the two opposite free ends of the cartridge 10 is greater than the thickness S of the appendage 9: that means the cartridge 10 can rotate about the axis Z11 during adjustment in the axis X (see Figures 5 and 8 ).
  • the cartridge 10 also has a cap 15 for closing its second, free end (see Figures 1 and 2 ).
  • the cap 15 is provided with a slot 16 for accommodating the top end of the pivoting pin 11 protruding from the cylindrical holes 13 made in the appendage 9.
  • the drive means 8 comprise a grub screw 17 screwed into a hole 18 passing transversally through the second, extension part 9b of the appendage 9.
  • the grub screw 17 is in contact with, and bilaterally abuts, the inside cylindrical surface of the cartridge 10.
  • the cartridge 10 in turn has a through slot 19 designed to enable the grub screw 17 to be driven from the outside (using a suitable tool), in such a way as to obtain a movement of the mobile frame 5 along the axis X parallel to the vertical plane of the door/window 6 by pushing the inside abutting surface of the cartridge 10 in both directions in such a way as to shift the appendage 9 and the flap 2b of the hinge body 2, together with the mobile frame 5 (see arrows F5) and simultaneously rotate the cartridge 10 about the rotation axis Z11 of the pivoting pin 11 (see arrows F10).
  • the cartridge 10 may be covered by a cylindrical covering element 50 fitted round the cartridge 10 itself.
  • FIGS. 2 and 8 to 10 illustrate a second embodiment of the adjustment means 8.
  • the adjustment means 8 comprise a rotatable half-bush 20 internally interposed between the cartridge 10 and the free end of the appendage 9 which has a cylindrical enlarged portion 21.
  • the half-bush 20 has a V-shaped section whose vertex engages the enlarged end portion 21 of the appendage 9 to define a further pivot for rotating the half-bush 20 and pushing the appendage 9.
  • the half-bush 20 has a front surface 20a for contact with an inside surface of the cartridge 10.
  • the front surface 20a is provided with teeth 22 that mesh with matching grooves 23 in the cartridge 10.
  • the grooves 23 are greater in number than the teeth 22 in such a way as to permit the stepwise adjustment along the axis X by moving the half-bush 20 and stably engaging the grooves 23.
  • adjustment is accomplished in steps in both directions (see distances X4, X5 and X6 in Figures 8 to 10 ) by inserting a key from the outside into sockets made in the half-bush 20 and forcing the half-bush to turn (arrows F5) so that it disengages from the initial grooves 23 and snaps into the grooves 23 before or after them on the cartridge 10, and turns around the end 21 of the appendage 9.
  • the movement of the half-bush 20 creates a thrusting action on the appendage 9 that adjusts the cartridge 10 by turning it (see arrows F10) so that it adapts to and remains coaxial with the axis Z by turning about the axis Z11 of the pivoting pin 11, which is moved translationally with the appendage 9.
  • a hinge made as described above fully achieves the above mentioned aims thanks to the subdivision of the components of the cylindrical part of one of the hinge bodies into a projecting appendage and a cylindrical cartridge pivoted to a pin parallel to the axis of rotation.
  • the adjustment is maintained at traditional levels of precision and is easy for door/window installers to implement.
  • the structuring of the hinge is such as to permit extreme adaptability of the solution provided by the invention to several different types of hinges, since the part used for fastening to the door/window frames can be of any type without altering the constructional architecture of the cylindrical portion.
