Description

The present invention relates to a hinge for a hinged door, in particular a shower enclosure, according to the preamble of claim 1, 4 or 5 and a shower enclosure according to the preamble of claim 12 or 14.

From the DE 296 23 000 U1 and DE 201 12 682 U1 is a hinge for a swing door of a shower enclosure known. The hinge has a first bearing part for attachment to the pivot door and a second bearing part for attachment to a wall or on a cutting disc. The two bearing parts are hinged together. Furthermore, the hinge has an intermediate piece with slide bearing surfaces inclined to the hinge axis, so that an axial movement can be superimposed on the pivoting movement.

The present invention has for its object to provide an improved hinge for a hinged door, in particular a shower enclosure o. The like., And an improved shower enclosure, which allow a simple structure with few parts with good functionality and high life and / or easy installation.

The above object is achieved by a hinge according to claim 1, 4 or 5 or by a shower enclosure according to claim 12 or 14. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

One aspect of the present invention resides in the fact that the hinge or the first or second bearing part is supported against rotation on a vertical edge of an associated disk by way of an integrally formed contact edge. Particularly preferably, the bearing part provided with the abutment edge forms a one-piece hinge band and / or is connected in particular by means of only one screw and an engaging in the disc to be held clamping body with this disc. Particularly preferably, the bearing part is arranged with the fixed contact edge on the door side, so it is supported on the door glass. Most preferably, two such hinges are provided. This allows a particularly torsion-resistant mounting of the swing door on two proposed hinges.

A further aspect of the present invention resides in the intermediate piece, which in particular serves for radial and / or axial support and / or is subjected to sliding friction against a metal abutment surface, in particular made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, preferably polyamide (PA) or polyoxymethylene (POM). to manufacture. Experiments have shown that such a much better service life and / or reduced friction or reduced abrasion can be achieved or is.

Another aspect of the present invention is to replace the intermediate piece for different angular positions of the axial movement or to provide different intermediate pieces for different angular positions of the axial movement. This can be achieved, for example, by the fact that the different intermediate pieces have a different angular position of the sliding bearing surface and / or a different, preferably axial, engagement possibility for the non-rotatable attachment to a bearing part or a bearing part. Thus, it is possible by very finely graded in the angular position or different spacers to make an adjustment of the hinge or the shower enclosure to the respective structural conditions and / or use the hinge or the shower enclosure, for example, either straight for shower enclosures or angled shower enclosures. Correspondingly, the angle enclosed by a fixed side part or a fixed pane on the one hand and the pivot door on the other hand is about 180 ° (straight shower partition), 135 ° (pentagonal shower partition) or 90 ° (corner shower partition).

Another aspect of the present invention is to use the intermediate piece for the axial movement simultaneously for the articulated connection or pivotal mounting of the bearing parts of the hinge. For this purpose, the intermediate piece has a corresponding bearing section. This allows a simple construction of the hinge from a few parts.

Preferably, the intermediate piece with the bearing portion is integrally made of plastic. The other bearing part or its relevant for the radial pivot bearing portion is preferably made of metal. With a suitable choice of material results in a lubricant-free and therefore maintenance-free Plastic / metal swivel bearings or plain bearings, so that a long service life is possible with a simple design.

Another aspect of the present invention resides in the fact that the bearing portion of the intermediate piece, which is preferably provided for the radial bearing of the two bearing parts, is internally and / or externally conical and / or is inserted in a bearing eye preferably configured complementary thereto or another receptacle of an associated bearing part. This serves in particular to compensate for manufacturing tolerances and allows a simple structure and / or a preferably at least largely play-free radial bearing.

Alternatively or additionally, the bearing portion 9 may cooperate with internal conical design with a complementary trained, preferably bolt-shaped retaining element with the same effect.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the intermediate piece is held and / or fixed in a clamping and / or latching manner on the first and / or second bearing part and / or on a preferably bolt-shaped retaining element. This allows a simple structure and a simple assembly. In particular, it is thus possible to prevent the intermediate piece from detaching in an undesired manner when the hinged door is suspended, in particular during transport, and possibly even being lost.

Another aspect of the present invention is to arrange the stroke Senkmeehanismus of the hinge - ie the intermediate piece with the sliding bearing surface for generating the axial movement during pivoting of the hinge - as splash-proof as possible in the hinge, so not open to the outside. For this purpose, a bearing part has an axially projecting, in particular hollow cylindrical collar and the other bearing part a, in particular also hollow cylindrical wall portion which overlap each other radially in each axial position of the hinge. Thus, with a simple structure, an effective protection, especially against splashing, allows. This is beneficial to a long life of the hinge.

Another idea of the present invention, which can likewise be implemented independently, is that of the preferably flat, elastic or soft intermediate layering element for supporting a bearing part on the associated disc with an opening and to provide the bearing part with an associated marking, so that is visible during assembly through the disc, whether the correct bearing part is attached to the disc.

Alternatively or additionally, the intermediate layer element can be inserted in a recess formed on the bearing part so as to be shift-proof, if necessary, glued therein. This results in a very simple installation, especially for end customers without experience.

The above-mentioned aspects and features of the present invention, as well as the aspects and features of the present invention described below, can be implemented independently of one another, but in particular also in any combination.

Fig. 1 shows a proposal according to hinge 1, which holds a hinged door 2 of a shower enclosure 3 only partially shown pivotally. In particular, the hinged door 2 is held by two such hinges 1, that is, for example, in an upper and a lower area. However, the use of the hinge 1 is not limited to shower enclosures o. The like.

Fig. 1 shows the hinge 1 for a from the outside - in the illustration according to Fig. 1 from the rear - seen right swing door 2 of the shower enclosure 3.

Fig. 2 shows in the schematic, fragmentary partial sectional view of the corresponding hinge 1 of the left swing door 2 of the shower enclosure. 3

The hinge 1 has a first wall-side bearing part 4 for fastening the hinge 1 and a second, corresponding bearing part 5 for connection to the hinged door 2.

Fig. 2 shows in an exploded and illustrative exploded mirror image that the hinge 1 further comprises an intermediate piece 6 preferably with a tilted to the pivot axis 7 of the hinge 1 slide bearing surface 8. The inclined slide bearing surface 8 serves here to superimpose an axial movement on the pivoting movement of the hinge 1, in particular in order to bring about a lifting of the pivoting door 2 when opening.

Basically, the intermediate piece 6 preferably serves for an axial and / or radial mounting of the two bearing parts 4 and 5 which are pivotable relative to one another or the hinged door 2.

The intermediate piece 6 is preferably made of plastic, in particular of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Particularly preferably, the intermediate piece 6 is made of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide (PA) or polyoxymethylene (POM). Experiments have shown that plastic parts made of this material, such as the intermediate piece 6, can be produced with a significantly lower tolerance and / or are subject to less abrasion, in particular when paired with a metal surface. In particular, a reduction of the sliding and / or static friction and / or abrasion is made possible.

The intermediate piece 6 is primarily associated with the first bearing part 4 in the illustrated embodiment of the proposed hinge 1, d. H. rotatably or non-rotatably relative to the first bearing part 4 can be fixed. In the following, the description always assumes this assignment. However, in principle, an assignment to the second bearing part 5 with possible, in which case the other elements and components of the hinge 1 must be assigned according to each of the other bearing part 4 and 5 respectively.

The intermediate piece 6 here has a sleeve-shaped, integrally formed bearing portion 9, which is preferably reinforced by a bolt-shaped, metallic holding element 10. The support member 10 penetrates in the illustrated example, the intermediate piece 6 and the bearing portion 9 axially, ie in the direction the hinge axis 7, and jumps in the illustration according to Fig. 2 to the other bearing part 5, here the second bearing part 5, before. The holding element 10 forms in particular a bearing or Crelenkbolzen of the hinge 1, but is preferably at least partially surrounded by the bearing portion 9 or radially covered.

The bearing portion 9 of the intermediate piece 6 serves the radial bearing or a pivot bearing of the other bearing part 5, namely the second bearing part 5, more precisely the radial bearing, wherein the two bearing parts 4, 5 are preferably axially displaceable against each other to the desired axial movement in particular one Lifting movement when opening the swing door 2, to allow.

Alternatively, it is also possible that the bearing portion 9 is formed as a separate or independent element from the intermediate piece 6, but preferably also made of plastic, in particular to form a lubricant-free and thus maintenance-free pivot bearing with the other or second bearing part 5.

The holding element 10 is in turn connected to the associated, first bearing part 4 at least such that the holding element 10 is secured against axial falling out or slipping out. In particular, the holding element 10 is inserted into a suitable, not shown recess or bore or a bearing eye of the first bearing part 4, preferably pressed. In order to ensure a sufficient interference fit of the retaining element 10 in or on the first bearing part 4, a suitable material combination is useful. Preferably, the first bearing part 4 (as the second bearing part 5) of diecast, especially zinc or aluminum die-cast o. The like. And the holding member 10 made of stainless steel or brass or a suitable brass alloy.

The hinge 1 preferably has an axial stop 11, which prevents unintentional axial separation of the hinge 1 and the bearing parts 4, 5. The axial stop 11 is in the illustrated example by the - in the illustration according to Fig. 2 formed upwards - projecting portion of the holding member 10, which has a radial recess 12 with an annular shoulder 13 formed at the free end.

To limit the axial mobility, a blocking element 14, for example a screw, in particular a Linsenkopf- or grub screw axially engage in the recess 12 and limit by striking the annular shoulder 13, the maximum possible axial movement apart of the bearing parts 4 and 5.

To form the pivot bearing has in the illustrated example, the second bearing part 5 a hollow portion 15 (a bearing eye), in which the bearing portion 9 is rotatably inserted or inserted. The hollow portion 15 thus surrounds the bearing portion 9 radially. The hollow portion 15 is preferably made of metal, the bearing portion 9 preferably made of plastic, as already explained. Thus, a preferably lubricant-free and therefore maintenance-free plastic / metal plain bearings or -Schwenklager is formed.

However, it is also possible for the bearing section 9 to radially surround the hollow section 15 or another element or another section of the second bearing part 5.

In the illustrated example, the second bearing part 5 has an axially projecting, here hollow cylindrical collar 16. The second bearing part 5, in this case the collar 16, has an abutment surface 17 acting in the axial direction, which is in particular designed to be complementary to the sliding bearing surface 8 and cooperates with the sliding bearing surface 8 in such a way that the pivoting movement of the hinge 1 is superimposed on the desired axial movement.

In the illustrated embodiment, the abutment surface 17 is formed on an end face and directly on the second bearing part 5 and its collar 16. The second bearing part 5, like the first bearing part 4, preferably consists of metal (in particular castings), so that the metallic abutment surface 17 cooperates with the plastic sliding bearing surface 8 of the intermediate piece 6 in such a way that during the thrust movement (when opening and closing the pivoting door 2) the two surfaces 8, 17 slide on each other and superimpose due to corresponding inclined sections the desired axial movement of the pivoting movement.

In order to prevent unwanted twisting of the used in the illustration example in an axial recess of the first bearing part 4 intermediate piece 6 relative to the first bearing part 4, the intermediate piece 6 preferably has an axial projection or stop 18 o , which is engageable with complementary, not shown projections, recesses o. The like. Of the first bearing part 4 for preventing rotation in engagement or conditioning.

In addition or as an alternative, the intermediate piece 6 and / or its bearing section 9 can also be connected to the retaining element 10 in a rotationally fixed (frictional or positive-locking manner).

The first bearing part 4 has a hollow-cylindrical wall section 19 in the illustration, which radially overlaps in the assembled hinge 1 with the collar 16 in each axial position. In the illustrated embodiment, the wall portion 19 surrounds the recess for receiving the intermediate piece 6 in the first bearing part 4th

Due to the radial overlap, a protection of the lift-lowering mechanism of the hinge 1 formed by the successive sliding surfaces 8 and 17, in particular against splashing, is formed. The stroke-lowering mechanism is therefore not open, as usual in the prior art.

In order to avoid running in of shower water or spray water into the interior of the hinge 1 or, the pivot bearing, the radially inner element is preferably overlapped by the radially outer element from above at least substantially vertical pivot axis 7 of the hinge 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the wall portion 19 surrounds the collar 16, the collar 16 is thus inserted into the first bearing part 4. Accordingly, then overlaps the first bearing part 4 with its wall portion 19 preferably from above the collar 16th

However, it is also possible to "turn over" the hinge 1, ie to introduce the collar 16 from above into the wall section 19 or the bearing part 4. In this case, a drain opening, not shown, may be provided in the lower bearing part 4, to a damming of water spray or shower water in the lower Bearing part 4 or to avoid pivot bearing. It can also be a lubricating groove are formed.

The proposed hinge 1 is provided in particular for a so-called all-glass shower enclosure 3 or a frameless glass swing door 2. The pivoting door 2 is thus preferably formed by a frameless glass pane 20, with which the second bearing part 5 is connected or is. The first bearing part 4 can for example be attached to a bathroom wall o. The like. Not shown. Preferably, however, the first bearing part 4 is connected to a fixed blade 21, which preferably also consists of glass, as in FIG Fig. 1 indicated.

The bearing parts 4, 5 are preferably connected to the associated disc 20 or 21 in that each one arranged on the other side disc abutment member 22 with the associated bearing part 4 and 5 by means of a disc 20 and 21 penetrating connecting element, in particular a screw 23, wherein the disc 20 and 21 respectively between the bearing part 4 or 5 and the associated counter-bearing element 22 is clamped.

In Fig. 1 For example, in the case of the left counter-bearing element 22, the screws 23 have been omitted for the purpose of illustration.

In Fig. 2 the first bearing part 4 is shown without associated abutment element 22.

Fig. 3 shows the proposed hinge 1 without the associated discs 20, 21 and without associated abutment elements 22 from the back, so on the discs 20, 21 facing side.

Fig. 3 illustrates that the bearing parts 4, 5 are not placed directly on the associated discs 20, 21, but between each a flat, elastic or soft intermediate layer member 24 is disposed, which supports the associated bearing part 4 and 5 respectively. The intermediate layer element 24 thus leads to a uniform concern and prevents a punctual overloading of the glass, so that an unintentional breaking of the glass is prevented.

The intermediate bearing element 24 is made of a suitable, for example, seal-like material, in particular plastic or the like.

In particular, each bearing part 4, 5 and each abutment element 22 is assigned a separate intermediate layer element 24.

In the following, only the design and arrangement of the intermediate layer elements 24 on the bearing parts 4, 5 will be discussed in greater detail. However, the same applies, if necessary, also for the abutment elements 22.

The intermediate bearing elements 24 are inserted into recesses 25 of the preferably plate-shaped bearing parts 4, 5 or partially embedded, as shown in the perspective view in part Fig. 4 indicated.

The recesses 25 at least partially or in sections bounding edge 26 holds the intermediate layer elements 24 virtually secure against displacement in the recesses 25 or at least prevents the Zwischenlagelemente 24 laterally beyond the edge of the preferably plate-shaped bearing parts 4, 5 (unwanted) slip out especially during assembly or protrude as in Fig. 3 indicated.

In the illustrated embodiment, the edge 26 is not formed circumferentially, but limits the recess 25 and thus the associated Zwischenlagelement 24 on three sides, the recesses 25 are each open laterally to the pivot axis 7 and to the pivot bearing of the hinge 1 out. If necessary, the edge 26, the recesses 25 also surrounded on all sides at least partially.

The intermediate layer elements 24 each have, for example, an edge-side recess or, as here, an aperture 27 which corresponds to a marking 28 of the bearing parts 4, 5 such that the respective marking 28 also faces the interposed disk element 24 of the discs 20, 21 Side from before attachment of the counter-elements 22 is visible. If necessary, the markings 28 can also be in a region of the bearing parts which is not covered anyway by the intermediate layer elements 24 4, 5, so that then the openings 27 o. The like. Can be omitted.

The markings 28 serve to facilitate the correct arrangement of the hinges 1 and the bearing parts 4, 5 during assembly and to avoid incorrect assembly. This facilitates assembly especially for end customers without experience.

The intermediate bearing elements 24 inserted into the recesses 25 project beyond the edges 26 also in the assembled (compressed) state towards the associated disks 20, 21, in order to rest the edges 26 or other (metallic) portions of the bearing parts 4, 5 on the disks 20, 21 to prevent.

If necessary, the intermediate layer elements 24 can also be glued into the recesses 25 during pre-assembly or glued onto the bearing parts 4, 5.

Alternatively or additionally, the intermediate layer elements 24 may also be self-adhesive for bonding to the bearing parts 4, 5.

In the case of bonding with the bearing parts 4, 5, the recesses 25 for the intermediate layer elements 24 may also be omitted if necessary.

A preferred aspect is that the intermediate piece 6 is interchangeable for different angular positions of the axial movement or a corresponding intermediate piece 6 can be inserted or installed for a specific angular position of the axial movement. In particular, different intermediate pieces 6 are provided, which differ in that they have different pivot bearings of the sliding bearing surface 8 relative to the recess 18. For example, the different rotational positions (angular positions) can be very finely graded, in particular in 0.5 ° increments or 1 ° increments, for example, an adaptation of the shower enclosure 3 to the respective structural conditions by using a corresponding matching spacer 6, so adjustment of Angle position in which the swing door is lowered. Alternatively or additionally, also considerably coarsely stepped or clearer from the angular position forth differing spacers 6 may be provided in order to use the shower enclosure 3 and the hinge 1 for very different shower arrangements, such as a straight shower arrangement, a pentagonal shower arrangement or a corner shower arrangement. This results, for example, different angular positions in 45 ° increments.
