Definitions

  • This invention relates to a face-mounted hinge for doors and window, in particular, but without restricting the scope of the invention, for doors and windows with frames made of metal, PVC or the like.
  • hinges consist of two hinge bodies joined by a hinge pin inserted in respective cylindrical housings in the hinge bodies.
  • hinges of this kind lies in the shape of the two hinge bodies and the fact that the hinge bodies are mounted on the "face” of the respective parts of the fixed and mobile door or window frames, while traditional hinges are mounted on an extension of the hinge body which is shaped to match the inside profile of the vertical member of the door/window frame.
  • the two hinge bodies one of which is fastened to the mobile frame and the other to the mobile frame each comprise a flap for fastening to the respective door/window frame and a cylindrical portion in which the hole for the passage of the hinge pin is made, the hinge pin being in practice housed in suitable adjustment bushes.
  • each hinge body unlike traditional hinges, generally has a flat shape, where the through holes (usually two) are made and where the flap is crossed, perpendicularly to the hinge pin, by respective screws for fastening the hinge body to the respective door/window frame member (whether fixed or mobile).
  • the hinge flap can be fastened to the frame member in several different ways.
  • the two most frequently adopted methods use: the first method, a contact block inside the frame member profile; and the second method, expansion plugs.
  • the first method uses a contact block, which has threaded holes made in it for respective fastening screws.
  • the block is inserted into the tubular chamber of the vertical member of the fixed or mobile frame and positioned at a pair of through holes made in the wall of the frame member in such a way as to align these holes with those in the contact block.
  • the hinge flap is in turn provided with specific bushes which protrude from the surface that comes into contact with the frame member and which are designed firstly to centre the holes in the frame member correctly and secondly, to fasten the hinge body more securely.
  • the second method uses expansion plugs.
  • the plugs are pre-fitted on the hinge flap surface that comes into contact with the frame member and are inserted directly into the holes in the frame member.
  • the hinge flap is also provided with suitable bushes which protrude from the holes in the flap and which, unlike the previous ones, have a partly conical shape in order to guarantee correct expansion of the plug during fastening.
  • each expansion bush has at least one rib or spline made by trimming the free end of the conical bush and protruding radially from the bush itself.
  • This spline fits into a groove made in the plug and is designed to prevent the plug from turning while the screw is being fastened.
  • the length of the conical part (protrusion) of the expansion bush enables expansion plugs to be used only with door/window frames whose thickness falls within a certain range, which in practice limits the use of this method: if the frame member is very thick, the bush does not protrude from the inside surface of the frame member by an amount sufficient to allow the plug to expand correctly.
  • a face-mounted hinge has a fastening system composed of:
  • Document DE 35 02 607 discloses an expansion plug provided with a threaded end portion able to be housed on the non-deformable end of the plug. The end portion is then engaged by the screw during the step of expanding and locking the plug from the end furthest away from the position of the end portion. The end portion is locked to the plug (also to prevent relative rotation) by projections formed on the end portion and coupled to matching slots formed on the plug, which also has a securing ring that, on assembly, prevents the end portion from moving away axially when engaged by the screw.
  • the anti-rotation lock is linked to an axial securing ring which could not in any case be applied to the system described up to now.
  • This invention therefore has for an aim to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages by providing a face-mounted hinge offering a high level of fastening security, in particular using preassembled expansion plugs, and structured in such a way that it can be applied to a wide range of door/window frames and profiles, independently of their size.
  • the present invention achieves this aim with a face-mounted hinge, in particular a face-mounted hinge for doors and windows comprising the technical characteristics set out in one or more of the appended claims.
  • one part of the hinge is composed of a tubular portion and a flap with at least one hole designed to be engaged by a part of fastening means by which the hinge is fastened to a profile by inserting a part of the fastening means into a hole made in a profile that forms a tubular chamber.
  • the fastening means 10 also comprise a centring bush permanently associated with the inside of the hole in the flap and protruding from the hole, an expansion plug which can be pre-fitted on the first bush to be accommodated in the tubular chamber, and a screw fastening member designed to be screwed into the hole in the hinge flap and into the first bush in such a way as to be held within the plug.
  • an extension element operatively interposed between the bush and the plug.
  • the extension element is provided with teeth protruding bilaterally from the ends of it and, in use, designed to engage respective grooves formed, respectively, on the first bush and on the plug in such a way as to create a concatenated anti-rotation constraint for both the plug and the extension element.
  • This configuration of the extension element allows the hinge to be fitted rapidly and adapted to profiles of different kinds and thicknesses.
  • the hinge according to the invention labelled 1 in its entirety, is known as a face-mounted hinge and is used for medium heavy doors and windows with frames made of metal, PVC or the like.
  • the hinge 1 is fastened to the front face of the mobile and fixed frames of the door/window (see also Figures 5 and 6 ).
  • the hinge 1 essentially comprises: two bodies 2; a pin 8; and means 10 for fastening each body 2 to the fixed or mobile frame 6, 7.
  • Each body 2 of the hinge 1 comprises a tubular portion 3 having a first central through hole 4 and a flap 5 for fastening to a respective mobile frame or fixed frame 6, 7.
  • the hinge pin 8 (illustrated only with a broken line in Figures 5 and 6 since it is outside the scope of the invention) is inserted coaxially into the first holes 4 to enable the hinge bodies 2 to rotate relative to each other about an axis defined by the pin 8 itself.
  • Each flap 5 extends laterally from the respective tubular portion 3 and has at least one second through hole 9 (there are usually two holes 9 side by side) designed to be engaged by a part of the means 10 for fastening the flap 5 to the respective mobile frame or fixed frame 6, 7.
  • Each of the frames 6, 7 has a first surface for contact with the flap 5 and is provided with at least one third through hole 11 that leads into a tubular chamber 12 forming part of the profile constituting the fixed or mobile frame 6, 7. Obviously, in the more common case of two second holes 9, there are two third holes 11 on the first surface of the frames 6 and 7.
  • the fastening means 10 - see Figures 1 to 6 - comprise a first bush 13 protruding from the second hole 9 in the flap 5 and permanently associated with the inside of the hole.
  • the fastening means 10 also comprises an expansion plug 14 which can be pre-fitted on the first bush 13 and which is designed to be accommodated in the tubular chamber 12, and a screw fastening member 10v which is designed to be screwed into the second hole 11 and into the first bush 13 in such a way as to be held within the plug 14 (which is internally threaded).
  • the fastening means 10 further comprise an extension element 15 operatively interposed between the first bush 13 and the plug 14.
  • the extension element 15 is provided with teeth 16, 16a protruding from the ends of it and, in use, designed to engage respective grooves 17 and 18 formed on the first bush 13 and on the plug 14 in such a way as to create a concatenated anti-rotation constraint for both the plug 14 and the extension element.
  • the extension element comprises a second bush 15 that may be provided with a single spline 16r joining the protruding teeth 16, 16a.
  • the spline 16r protrudes radially from the cylindrical body of the second bush 15.
  • the second bush 15 has the shape of a truncated cone, whose small diameter D is, in use, positioned at the rear end of the plug 14: that way, when the screw 10v is tightened, the plug 14 is expanded, thereby locking the hinge body 2 to the frame 6 or 7.
  • the end of the second bush 15 with the large diameter D1 is almost the same as the diameter D2 of the first bush 13, the second end of said second bush 15 being, in use, positioned in contact with the first bush 13 itself in order to operatively obtain a face contact between them.
  • the first bush 13 is cylindrical in shape, protrudes from the second hole 9 and is provided with a pair of grooves 17, diametrically opposite each other, which are engaged by the respective teeth 16 protruding from the second bush 15 so that, once contact has been made, an anti-rotation constraint is obtained for the second bush 15.
  • the first bush 13 is designed to correctly centre the screw 10v in the third hole 11, together with the second bush 15 and with the plug 14.
  • the second bush 15 in its most complete form, has a total of six protruding teeth 16, 16a and four splines 16r and 16c protruding radially from the surface of the second bush 15.
  • the teeth 16, 16a are substantially divided into two types: a first pair of teeth, labelled 16, protrudes from the large diameter end of the second bush 15 in such a way as to engage the respective grooves 17 of the first bush 13; the other four teeth 16a, on the other hand, protrude from the small diameter end of the second bush 15, in such a way as to engage respective grooves 18 of the plug 14.
  • first two splines 16r bilaterally join the respective teeth 16 and 16a, while the second two splines 16c are joined by the two teeth 16a that engage only the grooves 18 of the plug 14.
  • the first and second splines 16r and 16c are positioned alternately along the second bush 15.
  • the extension element 15 might have an axial extension that is variable according to the thickness of the contact surface of the mobile or fixed frame 6, 7 of the door/window: in other words, depending on the type of door/window and, hence, of the thicknesses present, it would be possible to also decide the length of the extension element 15 to be used to optimize hinge fastenings.
  • a hinge made in this way thus achieves the above mentioned aims thanks to the presence of the truncated cone shaped extension element interposed between the centring bush and the expansion plug.
  • the extension element thanks to its truncated cone shape and the teeth on it, allows the hinges to be fastened to the frames securely and precisely.
  • the extension can be made in sets of different sizes so that the same type of hinge body and expansion plug can be used on frame profiles having different thicknesses.
  • a further indirect advantage is the fact that the hinge body and centring bush thus obtained can also be used for fastening with a contact block without in any way modifying the structure of the hinge bodies, thus reducing warehouse costs.
