But this is affected by two distinct drawbacks, since it does not allow to make the above "glass/glass” type of operating hinge or a hinge of the type without a base to be affixed to, and the flatness of the clamping flange is lost because of the deformation of the flange itself during the adjustment.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide such a hinge fitting which is very simple construction wise and inexpensive, includes few operating pieces, while allowing frameless door wings to be efficiently opened, closed and locked at set locking positions, in particular suitable for door wings of a tempered glass material and which, moreover, allows the wing detent position along the rotary axis thereof to be easily, repeatedly and efficiently adjusted.

Description
- The present invention relates to a metal snap adjustable hinge to be used for closing and opening wings associated with either simple or double doors preferably including frameless tempered glass material plates, wherein the wings are held at a closing or opening position thereof by a snap driving mechanism of the hinge and comprising one or more operating springs.
- A lot of snap operating metal hinge assemblies in particular for use in shower cabs or boxes, for allowing a frameless shower wing plate to hold a closing or opening condition by a simple inner mechanism driven by one or more driving springs applying, through an intermediate roller or ball, a driving force to the hinge body at preselected positions thereof, the hinge body including recesses therewithin said roller or ball are forced by the springs to provide a snap mode of operation, are already known and used.
- By applying a comparatively small manual pressing or pulling force, the wing may be opened or closed by the user to a desired locking position thereof.
- The above fittings are made with a lot of different configurations and are substantially operatively similar; however, they cannot be easily fitted to their support structure as they are assembled.
- In fact, a precise setting of the hinge locking point/points, as said hinge assembly is designed and made (usually at -90°/0°/+90°), does not allow the above prior fittings to accurately fit the tolerances of their supporting structures, usually constituted by masonry walls either plaster coated or not, which do not have perfectly orthogonal and flat surfaces.
- Thus, it would advantageous to provide a snap operating hinge assembly which may be easily adjusted along the wing rotary axis thereby allowing, even with a not perfectly orthogonal supporting structure, to hold the wing at a set closed position on a preset threshold line therefor.
- To solve the above problems, prior approaches have been already disclosed, for example, in prior patent references, such as
EP 0792990 A ,WO 2004/038145 A1 ,US 6,766,561 B1 EP 1630333 A1 ,WO 2009/015550 A1 ,DE 20314065 U1 ,DE 19800813 A1 , most of which are based on a same idea of making the hinge body portion as an independent element, and forming therein the snap operating mechanism recesses or seats, to allow said element to rotate about a vertical rotary axis to perform an angular adjustment of the wing. - Prior rotary systems for rotatively driving the recessed elements may be generally defined as "cam" systems which in all the above patent references, constitute the hinge assembly basic operating member.
- On the other hand, all the above mentioned prior approaches allow the cam system to turn only through few turning degrees, thereby greatly limiting a proper adjustment of the wing.
- This drawback is particularly evident in
US 6766561 B1 , but it can be seen also inWO 2009/015550 A1 ,DE 20314065 U1 ,DE 19800813 A1 , as the locking screw of the adjustment cam being arranged on the cam itself cannot be driven by a suitable driving tool over a certain cam turning degree. - In particular, the document
EP 0792990 A does not allow to make a "glass/glass" type of operating hinge, that is a hinge assembly to be affixed, instead of an attachment masonry wall or frame, to a glass plate. - In a further prior patent document,
EP 0599255 A1 ,a cam system having a larger rotary range is disclosed. - However, this prior cam system is affected by yet other drawbacks, since the locking of the adjustment cam at its detent position is achieved by a pressing ball urged by a pressing dowel element, which has a low operating efficiency thereby a very high clamping torque must be applied to properly clamp a screw on the dowel.
- In the above mentioned document,
EP 1630333 A1 , which discloses the preamble of Applicant's main claim, a great and effective adjustment of the cam is possible, an adjustment element (axle) integral with the cam is locked by elastic deformation of a hinge body suitably shaped for this purpose. But this is affected by two distinct drawbacks, since it does not allow to make the above "glass/glass" type of operating hinge or a hinge of the type without a base to be affixed to, and the flatness of the clamping flange is lost because of the deformation of the flange itself during the adjustment. - Thus, the aim of the present invention is to provide such a hinge fitting which is very simple construction wise and inexpensive, includes few operating pieces, while allowing frameless door wings to be efficiently opened, closed and locked at set locking positions, in particular suitable for door wings of a tempered glass material and which, moreover, allows the wing detent position along the rotary axis thereof to be easily, repeatedly and efficiently adjusted.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the above aim, as well as yet other objects, which will become more apparent hereinafter, have been achieved by a hinge assembly according to Claim 1.
- The inventive adjustable hinge assembly provides the following advantages:
- a possibility of adjusting through a very broad adjusting range the detent positions thereby solving all problems caused by an installation on uneven surfaces.
- It allows to provide a very accurate detent or stop position angular adjustment, in a substantially continuous and precise manner.
- Owing to the broad contact surface of the adjustment axis and housing therefor in said main body, it is possible to easily and safely lock said axis by detent dowels.
- It allows to perform a number of further adjustment operations, also at different time points, without damaging the component elements of the locking safety system.
- It may be made in a very inexpensive manner, owing to the small number of the hinge assembly pieces.
- The invention will become more apparent hereinafter from the following exemplary but not limitative disclosure of some embodiments thereof, with reference to the accompanying drawings, where:
-
Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view showing all the hinge components, with the exception of a cam-adjustment axis assembly, of a snap adjustable hinge for wings preferably made of a tempered glass material with a fixing base, of a so-called "offset wing" wall or frame fixing type. -
Figure 2 is a further exploded perspective view showing the cam - adjustment axis - "offset wing" - base assemblies, and provided to better understand the component piece assembling operation. -
Figure 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the components of the snap hinge assembly and showing, in particular, in a not cross-sectioned condition, the adjustment or adjusting axis of a cylindric-hexagonal embodiment with the snap roller and axis therefor. -
Figure 4 is a horizontal cross-sectional view showing the components of the snap and adjusting mechanisms of the snap operating hinge assembly, in which the adjustment cam has been shown in a non cross-sectioned condition, and including a hexagonal axial hole according to a further modified embodiment. -
Figure 5 shows a side elevation view of the inner side of the hinge assembly and in particular the two adjustment axis clamping dowel elements. -
Figure 6 is a front view showing the hinge assembly for clamping to a wall or frame with a "central wing". -
Figure 7 shows a top plan view of that same hinge assembly. -
Figure 8 shows a side elevation view of a modified embodiment of a hinge assembly for connection on glass plates arranged on the same plane as that of the wing, the so called 180° glass/glass position. -
Figure 9 is a horizontal cross-sectional view showing a tempered glass wing including snap operating adjustable hinge assemblies having a clamping base for clamping them to a wall or frame and not aligned with a threshold, since the support, before adjusting, is not arranged at an orthogonal position. In fact, the hinge, because of its "snap" type of operation allows the wing to assume the so-called 0° position, thereby, if it is not arranged perfectly perpendicular to the clamping surface with respect to the threshold line, then the wing will not be properly aligned. -
Figure 10 is a horizontal cross-sectional view showing that same wing after having adjusted the hinge assembly and having properly aligned it with respect to the threshold. - The main body 1 constitutes the basic element of the inventive hinge assembly and comprises a clamping or fixing flange or base, and being made of a metal material and so perforated and contoured as to provide a suitable housing for the adjustment
hollow axis 2, the threadedlocking dowels 4 for said axis and thecam 3. -
Figure 2 shows details of the assembling of the above pieces which constitute the core of the adjusting system: in fact, the axial hole of the main body 1 is bored with two different diameters thereby it is precisely coupled to theadjustment axis 2. - The
adjustment axis 2 has three different cross-sections: a round one with two different diameters at the end portions thereof and a hexagonal one at the center thereof. The round cross-section end portions are so designed as to freely rotate in dedicated recesses or seats formed in the main body 1, whereas the hexagonal cross-sectional part is mated to thegrooved cam 3, thereby making the three pieces rigid with one another. - The assembling sequence of the above parts is a very simple one, that is: locating the
cam 3 in its main body 1 housing, engaging theadjustment axis 2 in its seat or recess on 1 while simultaneously coupling thecam 3. - The
cam 3 comprises a polygonal axial hole so formed as to be precisely fitted to the central cross-section of theadjustment axis 2 and including three contoured recesses operating for housing theroller 13 and allowing the wing to be stopped at set stopping or detent positions, typically a closing and an opening positions at 90° in the two directions respectively. - The
locking dowel elements 4 are threadably engaged in dedicated threaded holes formed at a set position on a side of the main body 1. Said dowel elements, upon screwing on, urging thehollow adjustment axis 2 into its seat of the main body 1 thereby preventing it from turning. Thus, saidadjustment axis 2 and consequently thecam 2 coupled thereto, may be rotated to any desired position to allow thedowel elements 4 to be released, which rotary movement, however, will be then fully prevented with thedowel elements 4 in a clamped condition. - The
pivot pin 5 allows the hinge assembly to turn, that is pivotably supports the two hinge assembly bodies, the main body 1 including its adjusting elements andclamp plate jaws - Said
pin 5 is engaged inhousing recesses 5b and passes through theadjustment axis 2 in the main body 1 by anti-friction plasticmaterial bush assemblies 6, separating thepin 5 from theadjustment axis hole 2, thereby preventing metal materials from contacting with one another while facilitating the rotary movement. - The guide bearing
clamping plate 7 has three functions: that of clamping the glass wing to theplate 8 by clampingscrews 9, thereby clamping said plate to the wing through an interposition of contouredplastics material gaskets 10, providing a seat for housing thepin 5 and a further seat for allowing a sliding movement of the snap operating mechanism including thesprings 12,guide 11,roller 13 andaxis 14 therefor. - The
plate 8 jaw is fixedly coupled by thecoupling screws 9 to theplate jaw 7, thereby clamping the hinge assembly on the glass wing, while holding the snap mechanism forming parts. - Thus, said
screws 9 firmly connect the twoplate jaws plastics material gasket 10 preventing any contact of the glass wing and metal surfaces of the twoclamping plate jaws - The roller holder or
bearing guide 11, which is preferably made of an anti-friction material, is housed in a seat of theplate jaw 7, thereby allowing a sliding movement under the action of thesprings 12 arranged in theplate jaw 7. - The
guide 11 comprises, at an end portion thereof, a housing for engaging theroller 13 andaxis 14 to linearly drive thesprings 12 on theroller axis 14, thereby saidcoil springs 12 will operatively press theroller 13 on thecam 3 contour, to provide the so-called "snap" mode of operation with theroller 13 mating with one of the recesses formed on thecam 3. - Such a snap mode of operation will allow to arrange at set stable positions the glass wing, typically at +90°/0°/-90° positions.
- Moreover, the
axis 14 allows theroller 13 to freely turn, thereby providing a smooth operation without undesired frictions of the snap mechanism. - From the above disclosure it should be apparent that the adjustable snap operating hinge assembly according to the present invention, achieves all the above mentioned aim and objects.
