Definitions

  • This invention relates to hinges to be installed on doors, for example.
  • the invention relates to hinges with a height adjustment.
  • Hinges are typically used for attaching a turnable part to a frame structure, such as attaching a door to a wall structure at the door opening so that the door can be turned open and closed.
  • a hinge consists of two main parts: a frame leaf and a door leaf.
  • the frame leaf is a part to be primarily fastened to the frame (edge element of the door opening). In addition to the actual leaf part (plate-type part), it comprises a frame leaf rolling.
  • a pin may have been attached to the rolling.
  • Such a frame leaf is often also called a pin leaf.
  • the door leaf is a part to be primarily fastened on a door, and it also comprises a rolling (door leaf rolling) in addition to the actual leaf part.
  • the protruding part of the frame leaf pin is inside the door leaf rolling.
  • US 3007193 shows a known solution wherein a ball is used with an adjustment screw for providing minimum frictional resistance.
  • DE 8517909.4 shows another solution having also a ball in the hinge.
  • a solution commonly used today is a plastic sliding bearing between the pin and the height adjustment screw.
  • the plastic sliding bearing is a pin with flexible parts (such as plastic claws) on the outer edges.
  • a plastic bearing is applicable to hinges with a height adjustment.
  • the problem with a plastic bearing is that it is too flexible, particularly with the heaviest door weights.
  • the level of requirements for hinges has increased and plastic bearings are not considered strong enough, for example in long-term use.
  • the objective of the invention is to create an inexpensive hinge with a height adjustment that would be sufficiently strong for current needs.
  • the objective will be achieved as described in the independent claim.
  • the dependent claims describe various embodiments of the invention.
  • the invention uses a metal ball and a retaining ring between the pin and the height adjustment screw to create a bearing that reduces wear and tear.
  • the retaining ring holds the metal ball within the hinge leaf rolling if the leaf parts are separate. However, the retaining ring allows the ball to move if the height adjustment screw is turned.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a hinge 1 according to the invention.
  • the frame leaf 3 has a pin 6 attached to the frame leaf rolling 5 as known from prior art.
  • the pin 6 forms a protrusion that is intended to be fitted into the rolling 4 in the door leaf 2.
  • the door leaf rolling 4 comprises a height adjustment screw 9 that can be used to adjust the height position of the door or similar element at installation time.
  • Figure 2 illustrates a sectional example of the door leaf rolling with the hinge assembled.
  • the centre hole of the retaining ring 8 is dimensioned so that the ball 7 and the end of the pin 6 are against each other.
  • the end of the bearing can be bevelled and/or rounded.
  • the height adjustment screw 9 is turnable as known from prior art. (The inside surface of the hinge rolling comprises threads at least in the area of the rolling that houses the height adjustment screw.) When the adjustment screw is turned inwards in the rolling (towards the metal ball), it also pushes the metal ball towards the pin 6. Simultaneously the retaining ring 8 also moves.
  • the metal ball 7 and the retaining ring 8 are able to move to the same direction (upwards), pushed by the pin 6.
  • the weight of the door pushes the door leaf of the hinge towards the frame leaf and its pin.
  • the height adjustment screw 9 imposes a force on the retaining ring 8 that moves the retaining ring to a new position.
  • the force required to move the retaining ring is smaller than the gravitational force of the door or similar part to be attached to the hinges.
  • the retaining ring can be moved both upwards and downwards.
  • the retaining ring 8 is dimensioned to be against the inner surface of the rolling 4 in a way that it will stay in place even though the metal ball 7 pushes it.
  • the metal ball cannot drop out of the rolling if the leaf parts 2, 3 of the hinge are separated, for example in storage or during goods transport.
  • the height adjustment screw 9 also stays in place in its pre-adjusted position during transport because it can be suitably tightened against the retaining ring with the help of the metal ball. This movement of the height adjustment screw (for example during transport) has been considered a disadvantage in prior art as it increases the amount of installation work and makes it more difficult.
  • Figure 3 illustrates another embodiment of the invention in which the retaining ring is metal and the hinge 12 is intended for so-called rebated doors/frame structures.
  • the pin 13 is attached to the door leaf rolling, and the adjustment screw 9 and the bearing means 7, 11 are in the frame leaf rolling.
  • a metal retaining ring 11 corresponds to the plastic retaining ring.
  • the metal ball 7 and the retaining ring 11 have the same functionality as the corresponding parts in the previous example.
  • the inner diameter of the hinge rollings is the same along the entire length of the rolling. This structure is advantageous for manufacture. It can be further noted that the metal ball is between the retaining ring and the height adjustment screw.
  • the retaining ring in Figures 1 and 2 is made of plastic.
  • Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the plastic retaining ring 8 in more detail.
  • the retaining ring also the metal retaining ring
  • the retaining ring is dimensioned to be suitably tightly against the inner surface of the rolling so that the ball 7 stays in place but can also be moved by turning the height adjustment screw 9.
  • the gravitational force of the door actually affects the movement of the retaining ring and the metal ball when the height adjustment screw is turned to either direction, depending on the embodiment. Compare the embodiments in Figures 2 and 3 .
  • the hole in the centre of the plastic retaining ring 8 allows the pin 6, 13 and the metal ball 7 to be in contact with each other.
  • the cross-sectional profile of the retaining ring is symmetrical in relation to the radial axis A of the retaining ring.
  • the inner edge and outer edge of the retaining ring may comprise bevelled surfaces 14, 15.
  • a preferred embodiment comprises an outer perimeter section 17 that is thicker than the inner perimeter section 16 of the retaining ring in the direction of the central axis B of the retaining ring.
  • the use of plastic material can create the desired flexibility properties for the retaining ring.
  • Figure 6 illustrates another embodiment of a retaining ring 11 in which the material is metal.
  • one of the cross-sectional profiles C of the perimeter of the retaining ring is round. If a sufficiently flexible/soft metal is used, a closed perimeter can be used to achieve the desired flexibility properties of the retaining ring. When a stronger metal is used, however, it is more practical that the retaining ring comprises a gap section 18 as illustrated in Figure 6 .
  • the gap section is made, for example, by cutting a small part out of a closed perimeter in order to create the desired flexibility properties.
  • the present invention is applicable for use in many existing hinges. Thus it is possible that the failed bearings of an installed hinge can be replaced with bearings according to the invention. It is evident from the examples presented above that an embodiment of the invention can be created using a variety of different solutions.
  • the metal ball 7 can be steel.
  • a metal retaining ring can also be steel. It is also evident that the invention is not limited to the examples mentioned in this text but can be implemented in many other different embodiments within the scope of the claims.
