Definitions

  • 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.
  • the wing may be opened or closed by the user to a desired locking position thereof.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • EP 0599255 A1 a cam system having a larger rotary range is disclosed.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 threaded locking dowels 4 for said axis and the cam 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 the adjustment 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 the grooved 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 the adjustment axis 2 in its seat or recess on 1 while simultaneously coupling the cam 3.
  • the cam 3 comprises a polygonal axial hole so formed as to be precisely fitted to the central cross-section of the adjustment axis 2 and including three contoured recesses operating for housing the roller 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 the hollow adjustment axis 2 into its seat of the main body 1 thereby preventing it from turning. Thus, said adjustment axis 2 and consequently the cam 2 coupled thereto, may be rotated to any desired position to allow the dowel elements 4 to be released, which rotary movement, however, will be then fully prevented with the dowel 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 and clamp plate jaws 7 and 8 for clamping the glass wing and the spring mechanism therefor, to allow the wing to be pivotably driven.
  • Said pin 5 is engaged in housing recesses 5b and passes through the adjustment axis 2 in the main body 1 by anti-friction plastic material bush assemblies 6, separating the pin 5 from the adjustment 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 the plate 8 by clamping screws 9, thereby clamping said plate to the wing through an interposition of contoured plastics material gaskets 10, providing a seat for housing the pin 5 and a further seat for allowing a sliding movement of the snap operating mechanism including the springs 12, guide 11, roller 13 and axis 14 therefor.
  • the plate 8 jaw is fixedly coupled by the coupling screws 9 to the plate jaw 7, thereby clamping the hinge assembly on the glass wing, while holding the snap mechanism forming parts.
  • said screws 9 firmly connect the two plate jaws 7 and 8 to pressure clamp the glass wing therebetween, with the contoured plastics material gasket 10 preventing any contact of the glass wing and metal surfaces of the two clamping plate jaws 7 and 8.
  • roller holder or bearing guide 11 which is preferably made of an anti-friction material, is housed in a seat of the plate jaw 7, thereby allowing a sliding movement under the action of the springs 12 arranged in the plate jaw 7.
  • the guide 11 comprises, at an end portion thereof, a housing for engaging the roller 13 and axis 14 to linearly drive the springs 12 on the roller axis 14, thereby said coil springs 12 will operatively press the roller 13 on the cam 3 contour, to provide the so-called "snap" mode of operation with the roller 13 mating with one of the recesses formed on the cam 3.
  • Such a snap mode of operation will allow to arrange at set stable positions the glass wing, typically at +90°/0°/-90° positions.
  • the axis 14 allows the roller 13 to freely turn, thereby providing a smooth operation without undesired frictions of the snap mechanism.
