Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hinge of a door or window, in particular of a door or window unit of the medium or "heavy" type.
  • the expression medium or heavy door or window unit refers to those doors or windows having a considerable weight, in particular for exteriors.
  • hinges consisting of two hinge bodies which are connected to each other by a hinge pin housed in corresponding cylindrical cavities made in the two bodies.
  • Said two hinge bodies are fixed one to the fixed frame and the other to the mobile frame of the door or window unit.
  • the two bodies each comprise a wing for fixing to the respective door or window unit and a cylindrical portion in which the transit hole for the hinge pin is made, the hinge pin actually being housed in suitable adjusting bushings.
  • each body normally has a flat area in which through holes are made (usually two), in which respective screws for fixing to the fixed or mobile frame are inserted.
  • the wing of the hinge body may be fixed to the respective profile according to various methods, two of which are amongst the most widely used: the first uses a locking - contact plate positioned inside the tubular structure of the profile, while the second comprises direct working (drilling) of the profile and the use of a self-tapping screw, such as shown in DE 295 02 068 U1 .
  • each hole present in the wing of the hinge body must be provided with a self-centring bushing having an external diameter coinciding with a hole made in the profile of the respective frame (fixed or mobile).
  • the self-centring bushing when inserted in the hole in the profile, allows a unique position to be given to the wing of the hinge body relative to the profile.
  • a screw is inserted in such a way that it freely passes through the hole in the wing and through the bushing then engages by screwing in the threaded hole in the contact plate.
  • the wing is fixed to the profile using a single self-tapping screw (of suitable length), which is passed through the hole in the wing and engages by screwing in the holes made in the profile (delimiting different chambers of the profile).
  • said screw is of the self-tapping type, that is to say, it is able to cause a deformation of the walls of the holes of the profile - with which the screw engages - for guaranteeing stable locking of the wing to the profile.
  • the screw allows centring of the hinge body relative to the profile to be guaranteed, since it is sized so that it is centred radially in the hole in the wing of the hinge body.
  • the hinge body must comprise an additional element which is the self-centring bushing.
  • this element also necessitates sizing of the holes in the hinge body suitable for this purpose.
  • Document GB1250776 describes a system for fixing the hinge body to a profile comprising a fixing screw having a shank threaded for coupling with an element inside the profile.
  • This type of screw and fixing system does not allow a particularly accurate positioning of the hinge body relative to the profile and it is also particularly complicated.
  • Document EP1884668 describes a system for fixing the hinge body to a profile comprising a fixing screw with four portions, of the self-tapping type.
  • the self-tapping screw has an end portion designed for perforating and screwing in the profile: the screw is screwed in the profile using screwing devices and the screwing may not be performed if the user does not have the screwing device.
  • Document DE2700100 describes a fixing system having a screw with a single diameter, designed for inserting into a bushing designed to be centred in the profile.
  • This system is particularly complicated as it needs a plurality for elements for allowing the coupling of the hinge body to the profile and, in light of this, it is difficult to standardise.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide a hinge with a screw for fixing the hinge body to a profile and a system for fixing the hinge body to a profile which overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.
  • Another aim of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages by providing a screw for fixing a hinge body to a profile and a fixing system which allow the hinge body to be fixed to a profile in a particularly quick and simple way.
  • the invention achieves that aim with a fixing screw, system and method comprising the technical features described in one or more of the appended claims.
  • the screw for fixing a hinge body to a profile of a door or window comprises a head and a shank, and is characterised in that the shank comprises, longitudinally, proceeding away from the head:
  • a screw according to the invention allows the hinge body to be stably fixed to a profile without the need to insert the self-centring bushing in the hole in the hinge body.
  • a further advantage of the screw according to the invention is that it allows unification of the structure of the hinge body in such a way as to allow use of the hinge body even on alternative fixing systems (for example, with self-tapping fixing screws). Therefore, without the need to perform further and special additional working on the hinge body.
  • hinge bodies which are more standardised to be provided, with obvious advantages in terms the reduction of costs (of working and storage).
  • the numeral 1 denotes a screw for fixing a hinge 6 body 2 to a profile 3 of a fixed or mobile frame of a door or window unit (not illustrated).
  • the numeral 6 denotes, in its entirety, a hinge for door or window units, in particular a hinge 6 for heavy door or window units.
  • the hinge 6 comprises a pair of hinge bodies 2 (the accompanying drawings only show one of the bodies 2, the other being similar).
  • Each hinge body 2 is formed by a tubular portion 14 comprising a through hole 15 for housing a hinge pin (not illustrated) and by a wing 5 for fixing the body 2 to the profile 3 of the fixed or mobile frame of the door or window unit.
  • the fixing wing 5 comprises at least one hole 12, in particular and preferably a pair of holes 12.
  • the holes 12 have an axis substantially at a right angle to the axis of the through hole 15 for housing the hinge pin.
  • these comprise (preferably but without limiting the scope of the invention) a first, upper portion 17 (upper with reference to Figure 1 ), a second, intermediate portion 18 and a third, lower portion 19 (lower with reference to Figure 1 ).
  • portions (17, 18, 19) are portions with a circular section.
  • the first portion 17 has a diameter greater than that of the second portion 18 and the third portion 19 has a diameter greater than that of the second portion 18.
  • the profile 3 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 is a single-chamber type profile, that is to say, it is provided with a single chamber 16.
  • the walls of the profile 3 form a single chamber 16.
  • the hole 13 is made and used for fixing the body 2 to the profile 3, as described in more detail below.
  • the hole 13 puts the chamber 16 in communication with the outside.
  • fixing system 21 refers to all of the elements necessary for fixing the body 2 of the hinge 6 to the profile 3, which are part of the invention.
  • the fixing system 21 is itself also part of the invention.
  • the screw 1, the hole 12 in the body 2 and the hole 13 made in the profile 3 are part of the fixing system 21.
  • the fixing system 21 also comprises a small plate 4, hereinafter also indicated as the plate 4.
  • the plate 4 is shaped in such a way that it can be inserted in the chamber 16 of the profile 3.
  • the plate 4 is provided with a threaded hole 22.
  • the plate 4 forms longitudinal locking (contact) means 23 for the screw 1.
  • the screw 1 comprises a head 7 and a shank 8.
  • the screw 1 extends longitudinally in a direction X.
  • the screw 1 is preferably axially symmetric.
  • the head 7 of the screw 1 is shaped in such a way that it allows contact with operating means for rotating the screw 1 (Allen keys, etc.) for tightening the screw.
  • the head 7 comprises a recess shaped to engage with a tool such as an Allen key.
  • the shank 8 comprises, longitudinally, proceeding away from the head 7:
  • predetermined positioning of the wing 5 relative to the profile 3 refers to the fact that coupling of the second portion 10 in the hole 13 allows the hinge body 2 to be positioned at a predetermined position on the profile 3 (determined by the manufacturer by suitably drilling holes in the profile).
  • the first portion 9 is cylindrical and smooth (that is to say, it does not comprise projections or threads).
  • the second portion 10 is cylindrical and smooth.
  • the first portion 9 has a diameter D1
  • the second portion 10 has a diameter D2
  • the third portion 11 has a diameter D3.
  • the diameter D1 is greater than the diameter D2.
  • the diameter D2 is greater than the diameter D3.
  • diameter D2' of the hole 13 in the profile 3 is equal to the diameter D2 of the second portion 10 of the shank 8 of the screw 1.
  • the first portion 17 of the hole 12 has a diameter D4', equal to the diameter D4 of the head 7.
  • the second portion 18 of the hole 12 has a diameter D1' equal to the diameter D1 of the first portion 9 of the shank 8 of the screw 1.
  • the threaded hole 22 in the plate 4 has a diameter D3' equal to the diameter D3 of the third portion 11 of the shank 8 of the screw 1.
  • the second portion 10 is sized in such a way that, when the screw 1 is housed in the hole 12 in the body 2 and centred in the hole 13, said second portion 10 does not make contact with the wall 20 of the profile 3.
  • the head 7 of the screw is completely housed in the hole 12 in the hinge body 2.
  • the plate 4 is inserted in the chamber 16 of the profile 3 (it is made to slide into the chamber 16) .
  • the body 2 is drawn near the wall 20 of the profile 3 in which the hole 13 is made, in such a way that the hole 12 is opposite the hole 13 (if the body 2 has two holes 12, both of the holes 12 are positioned opposite the respective holes 13).
  • the holes 13 are made in a predetermined position on the profile 3 of the fixed or mobile frame, that position having been determined during the design or construction step. In that configuration, the screw 1 is inserted in such a way that it passes through the hole 12 and the hole 13 until it engages with the threaded hole 22 in the plate 4.
  • the threaded third portion 11 engages in the threaded hole 22 in the plate 4. Screwing of the screw 1 into the hole 22 in the plate 4 causes relative clamping between the body 2, the profile 3 and the plate 4. That is to say, it causes the body 2 to be locked relative to the profile 3.
  • Figure 2 clearly shows the configuration in which the body 2 is locked relative to the profile 3. It should be noticed that the first portion 9 of the screw 1 makes contact with (is centred in) the intermediate portion 18 of the hole 12 in the wing 5 and that the second portion 10 of the screw 1 makes contact with (is centred in) lateral walls of the hole 13.
  • the centring of the second portion 10 of the screw 1 in the hole 13 prevents translation of the screw 1 in a plane parallel with the wall 20 of the profile 3 in which the hole 13 is made, while the centring of the first portion 9 of the screw 1 in the hole 12 in the body 2 prevents translation of the body 2 relative to the screw 1 in the same plane parallel with the wall 20 of the profile 3 in which the hole 13 is made. Therefore, translation of the body 2 is prevented in the plane of the wall 20 of the profile 3.
  • an advantage of the screw 1 according to this invention is that it can also be substituted with a prior art screw without necessitating any adaptation of the hinge body 2 or the profile 3.
  • an advantage of the screw 1 according to this invention is that it can also be substituted with a prior art screw without necessitating any adaptation of the hinge body 2 or the profile 3.
  • that allows greater standardisation of the hinge body 2 (with obvious reductions in costs in terms of storage and working).
