Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an accessory consisting of a lock accessory.
  • the invention relates to a lock accessory in the most general meaning of the word, i.e. comprising: actuating mechanisms, handles, panic bars, padlocks, handgrips, handles and knobs for doors and windows, built-in handles, handles for wardrobes, cabinets and others.
  • the materials presently used for manufacturing these accessories are the different types of brass, i.e. zinc-copper alloys to which, depending on the required features, other elements such as manganese, tin, iron, aluminium and lead are added.
  • Zamak ® a material identifying a family of zinc-based alloys having aluminium, copper and magnesium as the main alloy elements.
  • Other materials are described in patent applications GB-A-427238 , BE-A-439656 , US-A-5765623 and GB-A-512758 .
  • Zamak ® unlike brass, has reduced costs, low melting point and high flowability and, therefore, is particularly suitable for production of accessories by hot chamber die casting, this working enabling very complicated pieces to be obtained with important saving in terms of finish working operations.
  • Zamak ® jets are usually submitted to a coating process and in some cases to painting processes in order to increase the aesthetic quality thereof.
  • the accessories made of Zamak ® have high porosity giving rise to formation of bubbles inside the accessory that, once the accessory has solidified, determine important decay of the physico-mechanical properties of the finished product.
  • Zamak ® Another defect belonging to accessories made of Zamak ® is the impossibility of carrying out welding operations and the poor resistance to oxidation.
  • a further defect of accessories made of Zamak ® resides in that, due to the reticular parameters of the crystal lattice thereof, they are weakly plastically deformable.
  • these accessories can be only made by die casting which leads to formation of inner faults, such as porosity, limiting the accessory integrity.
  • uncoated accessories made of Zamak ® are characterised by surface deterioration giving rise to worsening of the aesthetic features and the mechanical and tribologic features. It is therefore necessary to coat said accessories immediately after being produced, exactly for counteracting surface oxidation or general deterioration.
  • patent US-B3880679 discloses a particular zinc alloy using bismuth for improving the chemical features of the compound.
  • the technical task underlying the present invention is to conceive an accessory consisting of a lock accessory capable of substantially obviating the mentioned drawbacks.
  • Another important aim of the invention is to obtain a lock accessory having high aesthetic qualities while being of competitive price.
  • a further aim of the invention is to manufacture an accessory consisting of a lock accessory both by casting and by moulding, that is devoid of inner porosity or other defects that may give rise to breaks or other similar problems.
  • the accessory consisting of a lock or the like according to the invention is generally identified by reference numeral 1 .
  • locks generally comprise handles, inner opening and closing mechanisms, padlocks or the like.
  • accessory 1 is intended for providing an object adapted to be disposed close to an access element, such as a door or window, a wardrobe's or cabinet's wing or a drawer, that alternately opens or closes an opening and therefore inhibits or allows access to a space/room, respectively.
  • Accessory 1 can be therefore positioned on the outer wall of a house or a building, the boundary wall of a garden or any other wall or similar means adapted to at least partly define the perimeter of a space such as a house, room or office.
  • Accessory 1 is therefore the handle or inner mechanism for opening and closing doors, windows and wings, for example; or yet it consists of panic bars, knobs, built-in handles, padlocks.
  • Accessory 1 has a shape or body 2 defining the form of said accessory 1, and a coating 3 covering at least part of the shape or body 2.
  • the shape 2 is made of a zinc alloy comprising aluminium in a percentage included between 13% and 25%, magnesium in a percentage lower that 0.1% and copper in a percentage included between 0.2% and 3.5%, and a zinc percentage substantially included between 70% and 87%.
  • the zinc percentage in this alloy is included between 75% and 85%.
  • compositions have the following percent amounts.
  • First composition aluminium 15% ⁇ 1%, magnesium 0.04% ⁇ 0,02%, copper 1% ⁇ 0.5%, zinc for the balance.
  • Second composition aluminium 22% ⁇ 1%, magnesium 0.04% ⁇ 0.02%, copper 2% ⁇ 0.5%, zinc for the balance.
  • impurities can be also present, i.e. other substances different from those listed above and present in percentages lower than 0.05%.
  • impurities it is possible to have: iron with a maximum concentration of 0.02% because it makes the alloy more brittle; cadmium present in a percentage not beyond 0.0015% because it makes the mechanical properties worse and induces intercrystal corrosion; and tin, present in the alloy in a maximum concentration of 0.002% because it makes the mechanical properties worse and induces intercrystal corrosion; lead, bismuth and nickel, each with a content lower than 0.004% and preferably of 0.001%.
  • Coating 3 is preferably carried out at least on the portion in sight, if any, of the accessory, i.e. the surface of accessory 1 adapted not to abut against the object with which it is engaged such as a door or a wall. Alternatively, it is carried out on particularly stressed mechanical elements.
  • This coating 3 comprises a base layer 3a obtained through electroplating and a film 3b deposited thereon preferably through a high vacuum process.
  • the film 3b defines the outer surface of accessory 1, while layer 3a is enclosed between the film 3b and the shape or body 2, as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the base layer 3a deposited by the known electroplating technique comprises copper and/or nickel and/or chromium
  • the film 3b is of the metal type and preferably comprises, by way of non-exhaustive example: Ti, TiN, TiCN, Cr, CrN, CrCN, TiO, SiOx, DLC, etc.
  • Thickness of layer 3a is substantially included between 5 ⁇ m and 40 ⁇ m, while thickness of film 3b is substantially included between 0.2 ⁇ m and 2 ⁇ m.
  • coating 3 comprises a single layer applied through electrophoretic painting, so as to obtain reduced environmental impact.
  • the invention comprises a new process 10 for manufacturing an accessory 1 for access elements to inner places or environments.
  • Process 10 diagrammatically shown in Fig. 2 , comprises a forming step 11 in which at least one shape or body 2 of accessory 1 is made and a surface finishing step 12 adapted to create a coating 3 covering at least part of said shape or body 2.
  • the forming step 11 is obtained by plastic deformation and preferably hot plastic deformation, as it takes place in hot moulding, for example.
  • the alloy In hot moulding the alloy, in order to improve malleability thereof, is heated to a temperature usually higher than two thirds of the melting temperature, in this case between 200°C and 400°C and is subsequently introduced between the two half-dies where it is compressed until it takes the die's shape, i.e. the form of shape or body 2 of accessory 1 that is wished to be manufactured.
  • the forming step 11 contemplates manufacture of shape 2 by die-casting.
  • Die-casting also referred to as "casting in an iron mould under pressure" is a particular process in permanent form in which the zinc alloy after being melted, is injected at high pressure or merely under gravity into a metal mould.
  • the melting furnace is part of the machine and the injection device is placed in the crucible or melting pot and therefore is at the same temperature as the molten alloy.
  • the melting pot heated by a furnace, holds the molten alloy that, through a hole, enters the injection chamber and is then compressed into the mould through a suitable injector, at a pressure usually included between 2 and 15 MPa.
  • the zinc alloy is melted in the crucible that is separated from the mould.
  • the molten alloy after being removed from the crucible, is introduced into the injection chamber through a suitable hole and then placed inside the mould cavity at a pressure substantially included between 15 and 150 MPa.
  • the forming step 11 preferably takes place through hot chamber die-casting or, alternatively, hot moulding, as previously described or yet by means of tools acting by chip removal such as CNC (Computerised Numerical Control) machines.
  • CNC Computerised Numerical Control
  • the zinc alloy used in hot chamber die-casting has an aluminium percentage included between 13% and 25%.
  • machining by chip removal or the like such as turning and cutting processes.
  • the forming step can contemplate a final cleaning operation in which burr or other defects resulting from adopting the aforesaid working techniques are eliminated.
  • finishing step 11 When the forming step 11 and the following mechanical finishing operations have been completed, other finishing operations have to be carried out which comprise surface smoothing and subsequent polishing made mechanically by means of brushes, using manual or robotized processes, or by means of mass treatments in vibrators using abrasive chips; then the surface finishing step 12 begins in which coating 3 is made.
  • the surface finishing step 12 preferably comprises a covering sub-step 12a suitable for depositing the base layer 3a or, alternatively, a coating sub-step 12a adapted to form the film 3b. More preferably, the surface finishing step 12 contemplates both the covering sub-step 12a and the coating sub-step 12b that advantageously takes place after said covering sub-step 12a.
  • the covering sub-step 12a is preferably obtained by the electroplating technique that, through electrolytic deposition, enables the shape 2 to be covered with layer 3a consisting of copper and/or nickel plus chromium.
  • the subsequent coating sub-step 12b forms the film 3b by high vacuum deposition and preferably by a PVD or PECVD process.
  • high vacuum deposition is used to identify those coating processes carried out in vacuum chambers, i.e. in environments with very low inner pressure, and more specifically in high vacuum chambers with an inner pressure substantially included between 10 -1 Pa and 10 -5 Pa.
  • high vacuum processes there are those referred to as PVD or PECVD.
  • PVD or PECVD which are the acronyms of "Physical Vapor Deposition” and “Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition” respectively
  • processes are atomic deposition processes in which the material to be deposited is evaporated from the solid phase and transferred, in the vapour phase, to the pieces to be covered where it deposits to form a thin film.
  • a coating is deposited that will directly constitute the outer layer of accessory 1.
  • the invention achieves important advantages.
  • accessory 1 is characterised by the raw production materials having a lower cost than that of known accessories.
  • the aluminium content is in any case limited to no more than 25% and preferably 23%, so as to ensure good hot deformability and a melting temperature that is not too high.
  • the copper content does not exceed 5% so as to obtain ideal chips in working processes by chip removal.
  • a further advantage of accessory 1 is the greater handiness and ease of use ensured by the reduced weight that, as compared with accessories made of brass and of Zamak ® is respectively about 20% and 15% lower.
  • accessory 1 unlike those hitherto used, is characterised by a high aesthetic quality
  • accessory 1 has high features of resistance to oxidation also when it is not coated. Therefore it is possible to store high amounts of uncoated accessories 1 and carry out coating 3 not immediately after manufacture of shape 2 but only at the moment of sale or use, so as to optimise the logistics connected with storage.
  • Another important advantage connected with use of the innovative zinc alloy is represented by the possibility of carrying out welding or other similar working operations that are not allowed in presently used alloys, such as Zamak ® , for example.
  • a further advantage resides in that the zinc alloy is characterised by lead, bismuth and cadmium contents much smaller than those of Zamak ® or other zinc alloys.
  • this advantage results in simpler disposal and consequently less environmental impact of accessory 1 made with use of the innovative alloy, as compared with accessories made of Zamak ® or other zinc alloys.
  • lead or bismuth are necessary for carrying out the working operations, in the present alloy lead and bismuth can be fully eliminated, according to the technological limits of the state of the art.
