The first and the second body of the hinge are connected by means of a pair of levers (23), parallel to each other, and a lever (24), interposed between said pair of levers (23), said levers (23, 24) being pivoted in the first body (10) and in the second body (11) and in an intermediate adjusting block (18), respectively, so that the lower and upper end of the door (A) remain, respectively, above the bottom surface of the base (B) of the furniture element and below the upper surface of the top wall (T) of the furniture element during the door opening/closing movement.
Description
- The present invention refers to an improved hinge for furniture flap doors, in particular for wall-hung furniture elements but also for stacked furniture elements and floor-mounted furniture elements.
- As is well known, furniture elements can be provided with closing flaps or doors that are hinged on the side walls of the furniture and that open by rotating around a vertical axis, or the flaps are hinged on the lower wall (base) or upper wall (top) of the furniture elements and open by rotating around a horizontal axis.
- The present invention concerns this second type of flap doors. One example is represented by British Patent
GB 1374661 - One of the main problems with flap doors is to allow the closing of the furniture element so that the edges of the door and the respective edges of the walls of the furniture element are substantially flush with each other, and to provide, in the open condition, a position in which the edge of the door is flush with the furniture wall. These conditions must be satisfied to guarantee a correct positioning of the door, in both the closed and the open condition, so as to avoid having gaps in the surfaces between the door and the furniture walls. In particular, a projection of the edge of the door below or above the furniture element, in the open or closed position of the door, could create some problems for the user.
- Another problem with flap doors is to have the hinges completely embedded in the body of the door and in the wall of the furniture element, so as to avoid the formation of obstacles to the movement of objects when they are placed in or removed from the furniture element.
- Another problem with flap doors is to allow the stacking of furniture elements provided with this type of doors or their installation on the floor, in particular when the door and the element on which the door is hinged are of different thicknesses, naturally within certain limits.
- A further problem with flap doors is to close the hinges so as to eliminate the possibility of dust and dirt settling on the fastening screws and, in particular, on the adjusting screws, creating hygienic and functional problems.
- The main objective of the invention is thus to provide an improved hinge for flap doors that solves the above-mentioned problems. These and other objectives will be achieved with a hinge having the characteristic defined in claim 1 of the present patent.
- Further details of the hinge according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
- Characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more evident from the following description of an embodiment given by way nonlimiting example with reference to the enclosed figures, wherein:
-
figure 1 illustrates a hinge according to the invention in a perspective view; -
figure 2 is an exploded view of the hinge offigure 1 ; -
figure 3 illustrates a side view, partially in cross section, of a furniture element with the door in a completely open position connected to the furniture with the hinge according to the invention; -
figures 4 and5 illustrate, in side and partially cross-sectional views, the furniture element offigure 3 with the door in two different operating positions intermediate between the opened and closed position; -
figure 6 is a side view showing, partially in cross section, the furniture element offigure 3 with the door in a completely closed position. - With particular reference to
figures 1 and2 , the hinge according to the invention includes afirst body 10 fastened to the internal surface of the lower wall, or base B, of a furniture element, and asecond body 11 fastened to the internal surface of the door A of the furniture element. The first and the second body are connected to each other so that the second body can rotate with respect to the first body, or vice versa, to allow the opening and closing of the door. - The solution described herein refers to a flap door hinged at the base (B) of the furniture element so that it rotates upward to the closed position. Naturally, the solution can be similarly applied to a door hinged to the top wall (T) of the furniture element so as to rotate downward to the closed position.
- The
first body 10 has preferably a hollow cylindrical part that is inserted into a seat of corresponding shape formed in the base B of the furniture element. The cylindrical part of the first body is provided with twowings 12 diametrically opposite to each other and orthogonal to the axis of the body, in each of which is formed a throughhole 13 for at least one screw (not shown) that is used to fasten the first body to the base B. When the first body is inserted and fastened in the base B, its wings are coplanar with the surface of the base B. - Similarly, the
second body 11 has a hollow cylindrical part that is inserted into a seat of corresponding shape formed in the door A. The cylindrical part of the second body is provided with aflange 14 orthogonal to the axis of the body, in which are formed two or more throughholes 15 for as many screws (not shown) that are used to fasten the second body of the door A. When the second body is inserted and fastened in the door A, theflange 14 is coplanar with the surface of the door A. - The main characteristic of the invention consists of the linking system of the parts that make up the hinge.
- In this regard, the cylindrical parts of the first and the second body are, respectively, provided with an
opening Fig. 2 ). - The hinge according to the invention includes, moreover, an intermediate adjusting
block 18 contained in the hollow cylindrical parts of the first and the second body, passing through thelateral openings - The part of the intermediate block that is housed in the hollow of the first body of the hinge includes a
first seat 19 in which is inserted afirst screw 20 that is used to fasten the block to the first body, and asecond seat 21 in which is inserted asecond screw 22 that is used to adjust the hinge. - The
intermediate block 18 is connected to thesecond body 11 of the hinge through a pair oflevers 23, preferably rectilinear, that are parallel to each other and pivoted in the second body of the hinge and in the adjusting block, respectively, and through alever 24, preferably arc-shaped, interposed between said rectilinear levers and pivoted in the first body of the hinge and in the adjusting block, respectively. - Naturally, the
levers levers 23 can also be made in a single piece, or they can be connected by a further transversal pin. Furthermore, thelevers lever 23 interposed between twolevers 24. - Each
rectilinear lever 23 is rotatably hinged at one end to afirst pin 25 that is inserted into anextension 26 in the shape of an upside-down U of the intermediate block, passing through relative holes 27 (only one being shown infig. 2 ). This extension in the shape of an upside-down U is housed in the hollow of the second body of the hinge, so as to be coplanar with the surface of theflange 14 of the same body. - The opposite ends of the rectilinear levers are rotatably pivoted on a
second pin 28 that is fastened to the cylindrical part of the second body of the hinge, passing through relative holes 29 (only one being shown infig. 2 ). - The arc-
shaped lever 24, arranged between the tworectilinear levers 23, has an end that is rotatably pivoted on athird pin 30. Thisthird pin 30 is fastened to the cylindrical part of thesecond body 11 of the hinge, while the other end of the arc-shaped lever 24 is pivoted on afourth pin 31 fastened to theintermediate block 18, passing through relative holes 32 (only one being shown infig. 2 ). - The specific shape of the elements making up the hinge according to the invention and their articulated connection provide the desired result of realizing a hinge that makes it possible to open the door of the furniture element so as to align the same door with the base of the furniture element.
- In addition, as shown in
figures 3 to 5 , the lower and upper ends of the door A remain, respectively, above the bottom surface of the base B of the furniture element and below the upper surface of the top wall (T) of the furniture element during the door opening/closing movement. - This feature results from the reciprocal position of the
pins pin 28 always remains at a level lower than that of thefixed pin 25, and swings for a limited arc of a circle around thesame pin 25. Thepin 30 swings around thefixed pin 31, covering an arc of a circle whose ends remain always below the level of the fixed pin 25 (comparefigures 3 to 5 ). - This innovative solution makes it possible to stack furniture elements provided with flap doors upon each other, as well as to set them down on any top, avoiding any interference in the operation of the doors.
- Another characteristic of the hinge according to the invention is the fact that the
first body 10 of the hinge is provided with alid 33 that completely closes the space between the twowings 12 of the body itself. Thelid 33 is preferably hinged on the side of the first body opposite to the second body, and can be snapped closed against the action of a C-shaped spring 34. The spring is coupled with its intermediate side in ahook 35 inside the first body and acts with its ends against the free edge of the lid. - Thus, the
lid 33 protects and conceals the fasteningscrews 20 and adjustingscrews 22 of the hinge, and is coplanar with thewings 12 of the first body. In this manner, the external surface of the hinge is completely flat and makes it possible to eliminate any obstruction on the internal wall of the furniture element. - Naturally, the extension in the shape of an upside-down U of the
intermediate block 18 of the hinge cannot completely close the hollow of the second body of the hinge, as it is necessary to allow the rotation of the second body. -
Figure 3 is a cross-sectional side view of the hinge according to the invention, with the flap door in a completely open position, and shows the condition of substantial coplanarity of the door A and the base B of the furniture element. Thecurved lever 24 is completely rotated counterclockwise around the fixedpin 31. Thefirst body 10 and thesecond body 11 are aligned. -
Figures 4 and5 are cross-sectional side views of the hinge according to the invention shown in two intermediate operating positions between the opened and closed positions of the door A. Thecurved lever 24 is partially rotated clockwise around the fixedpin 31 compared to the position ofFigure 3 . Thesecond body 11 is partially rotated counterclockwise around thefixed pin 31. -
Figure 6 is a cross-sectional side view of the hinge according to the invention, with the flap door A in a completely closed position orthogonal to the base B of the furniture element. Thecurved lever 24 is further rotated clockwise around the fixedpin 31 compared to the intermediate opening position offigure 2 . - A further improvement of the hinge according to the invention provides that the adjusting
screw 22 be provided with atip 36 suitable to cooperate with asurface portion 37 of thefirst body 10 of the hinge, said surface being possibly recessed or corrugated. This detail prevents the possibility of the twobodies - Thus, the hinge according to the invention resolves the problems of hinges for furniture flap doors currently in use. Naturally, the described solution can be modified without departing from the scope of patent protection defined by the claims of the present patent.
- For example, to ensure that the edge of the door during the opening or closing rotation movements of the same remains clear above the surface of reference of the furniture element, even in cases of different thicknesses of the door and the wall, a thin shim can be applied under the
wings 12 of thefirst body 10. In addition, the dimensions of the adjustingblock 18 can also be suitably changed to allow a proper adjustment of the rotation of the door. - In this manner, a larger range of combinations of thicknesses of the door and the furniture wall can be covered, thus allowing an optimum operation and alignment of the flap door.
