Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a pivot for a door, in particular a top pivot for a door, and a door closer system including the pivot.
- In the state of the art, top pivots are known to be combined with floor-concealed door closers. Floor concealed door closers are provided in a recess of the floor with a top surface being on the same level as the floor. A spindle is the only part protruding from the top surface, wherein the spindle is provided to be connected to a bottom part of a door. As soon as the door is released after opening, the spindle pulls the door back to the closed state.
- Further, the door has to be mounted to a top portion of the door frame. For this reason, a pivot, in particular a top pivot, is provided. A conventional top pivot is shown in
figure 1. Figure 1 discloses atop pivot 100 having the design of a conventional first class lever mechanism. For example, the effort is applied via ascrew 500 along afirst direction 600. The effort is applied to arocker 300 on a first side of thefulcrum 400 such that therocker 300 pushes a pivot pin 200, which is provided on a second side of thefulcrum 400, along thesecond direction 700. Thesecond direction 700 is opposite to thefirst direction 600. Hence, the length of therocker 300 determines the mechanical advantage of the system being load arm or effort arm. Thescrew 500 is fastened up or down which in turn moves the pin accordingly. - However, the
top pivot 100 according to the prior art requires a lot of space. In particular, a length dimension of the known top pivot is rather large due to the dimensions of the rocker arm. - Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a pivot of the species indicated in the generic part of patent claim 1, which can be manufactured at a low cost and which has a small overall size.
- This problem is solved by the features of the inventive pivot. The inventive pivot for a door is especially a top pivot and comprises a pivot pin, an adjusting element and a connecting element. The pivot pin has a center axis and is slidable along the center axis. Further, the pivot pin is engageable with the door. In case the pivot pin is engaged with the door, the pivot pin provides a pivot point of the door. The connecting element has a rotation center about which the connecting element is rotatable. Further, the connecting element has an arm portion. An end portion of the arm portion of the connecting element is connected with the pivot pin for coupling a displacement of the pivot pin and the connecting element. Additionally, the adjusting element is provided such that a force is providable to the arm portion between the rotation center and the end portion. Therefore, the pivot sets up a third class lever system.
- The dependent claims contain advantageous embodiments of the present invention.
- In a preferred embodiment, the pivot comprises a base element for supporting the pivot pin and the adjusting element. The base element has at least a first surface. Particularly, the base element comprises a base plate which is covered by a cover plate. The surface of the cover plate not facing the base plate is regarded the first surface of the base element. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the center axis of the pivot pin is perpendicular to the first surface.
- In a further particularly preferred embodiment, the pivot pin is slidable between a locking position and a retreat position. In the locking position the pivot pin protrudes more from the first surface of the base element than in the retreat position. In particular, the pivot pin does not protrude in the retreat position from the first surface. In the locking position, the pivot pin is engageable with the door.
- In a yet further particularly preferred embodiment, the connecting member comprises a first stopping member and a second stopping member. The first stopping member abuts against the base element when the pivot pin is in the retreat position. Additionally, it is preferred that the second stopping member abuts against the base element when the pivot pin is in the locking position.
- The adjusting element is preferably accessible for rotating from the first surface of the base element. The first surface is particularly the only surface which is accessible when the pivot is mounted in a door frame. Since the pivot is preferably a top pivot, the first surface is preferably a bottom surface of the pivot.
- In a preferred embodiment, the base element comprises a hollow protrusion in which the pivot pin is supported. In particular, the hollow protrusion is a cylindrical hollow protrusion. The hollow protrusion preferably comprises a slit, in which the connecting element, especially the arm portion of the connecting element, can be moved without interfering with the base element. The hollow protrusion allows only a movement of the pivot pin along the center axis.
- Preferably, the adjusting element comprises a flange portion. The flange portion is provided in a recess of the connecting element. Therefore, the adjusting element and the connecting element are joined in a form locking manner. As a result, any movement of the connecting element is only possible with simultaneous movement of the adjusting element.
- In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting element comprises a first threat, in particular an external threat, which is engaged with a second threat provided in the base element. The second threat particularly is an internal threat. Preferably, the adjusting element is an adjusting screw such that the adjusting screw is displaced in relation to the base element when the adjusting screw is rotated.
- Further, the adjusting element is preferably provided in parallel to the center axis of the pivot pin. Therefore, a rotation of the adjusting element with respect to the connecting element leads to a displacement of the connecting element in parallel to the center axis. Accordingly, the direction of displacement of the connecting element is parallel to the only possible displacement directions of the pivot pin. Hence, the coupling of the movement of the pivot pin and the connecting element can be reached rather simple.
- In a preferred embodiment, the pivot pin comprises a hole. Further, an end portion of the connecting element is provided within the hole. The connecting element preferably has an arm portion, while an end portion of the arm portion is provided within the hole. Particularly, the hole is a through hole.
- The invention also relates to a door closer system. The door closer system comprises a floor-concealed door closer and a pivot as described above. The inventive door closer system therefore is advantageous with respect to available space, in which the door closer system shall be installed.
- In the following, the invention is explained in more detail on the basis of the accompanying drawing, in which:
- Fig. 1
- is a pivot for a door according to the prior art,
- Fig. 2
- is a first view of an inventive pivot according to a preferred embodiment,
- Fig. 3
- is a second view of the inventive pivot according to a preferred embodiment, and
- Fig. 4
- is a third view of the inventive pivot according to a preferred embodiment.
-
Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the inventive pivot 1 according to a preferred embodiment.Figure 3 is a sectional view of the pivot 1 shown infigure 1 . The pivot 1 comprises a base element 9 having abase plate 10 and a cover plate 11. The cover plate 11 covers thebase plate 10. The base element 9 comprises afirst surface 13 which is the surface of the cover plate 11 not facing thebase plate 10. The base element may 9 be attached to a door frame, in particular to a top portion of the door frame, such that thefirst surface 13 is a bottom surface. - The
first surface 13 comprises two holes, one for apivot pin 2 and another for an adjusting element 4. The adjusting element 4 is therefore accessible for rotating from thefirst surface 13, wherein a rotation of the adjusting element 4 causes a displacement of thepivot pin 2. Due to the displacement, a length of thepivot pin 2 protruding from thefirst surface 13 can be adjusted. - The
pivot pin 2 has a cylindrical shape and comprises a center axis 3. The above described displacement of thepivot pin 2 can only performed along said center axis 3. To allow displacement along the center axis 3 only, thepivot pin 2 is supported within ahollow protrusion 12. Thehollow protrusion 12 is provided on thebase plate 2 on the opposite side of the surface facing the cover plate 11. In particular, an axis of a inner cylindrical shape of thehollow protrusion 12 is identical to the center axis 3 of thepivot pin 2. - Further, the
hollow protrusion 12 as well as the center axis 3 of thepivot pin 2 is orientated perpendicular to the first surface. Additionally, the adjusting element 4 is also provided perpendicular to thefirst surface 13. With such a design, an engagement of thepivot pin 2 with the door is made very simple. - The
pivot pin 2 is provided slidable within thehollow protrusion 12. A movement of thepivot pin 2 is caused by the adjusting element 4 and transferred to thepivot pin 2 by a connectingelement 5. Thepivot pin 2 and the connectingelement 5 are coupled as follows: - A
hole 14, in particular a through hole, is provided within thepivot pin 2. The connecting element comprises anarm portion 6 which has an end portion 15. Thehole 14 and thearm portion 6 are both orientated basically perpendicular to the center axis 3 of thepivot pin 2. With the end portion 15 extending into thehole 14, a movement of thepivot pin 2 and the connectingelement 5 along the center axis is coupled. In order to allow proper movement of the coupledpivot pin 2 and connectingelement 5, aslit 18 is provided within thehollow protrusion 12. Theslit 18 is provided within the wholehollow protrusion 12 in parallel to the center axis 3 and may end into a recess provided within thebase plate 10 to enlarge the possible amount of displacement of the connecting element. - A third class lever system is set up by the connecting
element 5. The connectingelement 5 comprises a rotation center 7, which is formed as a hole. Said hole is penetrated by abolt 20 which joins the connectingelement 5 and the base element 9. Since the connectingelement 5 comprises anarm portion 6 being connected to thepivot pin 2, a rotation of the connectingelement 5 about the rotation center 7 causes thepivot pin 2 to slide along the center axis 3 within thehollow protrusion 12. - The adjusting element 4 is formed as an adjusting screw which is screwed into the
base plate 10. The adjusting element 4 can be rotated with respect to the base element 9 such that the adjusting element 4 is screwed in or screwed out the base element 9. The displacement caused when rotation the adjusting element 4 is transferred to the connectingelement 5. To allow such a transferal, the adjusting element 4 is provided between the rotation center 7 and the end portion 15 of the connectingelement 5. In this way, said third class lever system is created. - The details of the movement of the
pivot pin 2 are shown infigures 3 and 4. Figure 3 shows thepivot pin 2 in a retreat position whilefigure 4 shows thepivot pin 2 in a locking position. - As can be seen from
figures 3 and 4 , the adjusting element 4 comprises aflange portion 8. Theflange portion 8 is provided within arecess 19 of the connectingelement 5 for a form locking joint. Therefore, the rotation of the connectingelement 5 about the rotation center 7 is connected to a displacement of the adjusting element 4 which is connected rotation of the adjusting element 4. -
Figure 3 shows the pivot 1 with thepivot pin 2 in the retreat position. In this position, a first stoppingmember 16 of the connectingelement 5 abuts against the base element 9, in particular against thebase plate 10. Therefore, a further rotational movement of the connectingelement 5 about the rotation center 7 is blocked. Thepivot pin 2 maintains in the retreat position until the adjusting element 4 is rotated. - When the adjusting element 4 is rotated, the
flange portion 8 pulls therecess 13 down to thebase plate 10. Therefore, a rotational movement of the connectingelement 5 about the rotation center 7 is caused, which makes thepivot pin 2 protrude from thefirst surface 13 of the base element 9. Said rotational movement is stopped when a second stopping member 17 of the connectingmember 5 abuts the base element 9. Infigure 4 it is shown, that thearm portion 6 of the connectingelement 5 functions as second stopping member 17. With the second stopping member 17 abutting against the base element 9, thepivot pin 2 is in the locking position. Thepivot pin 2 maintains the locking position as long as the second stopping member 17 abuts against the base plate 9, i.e. as long as the adjusting member 4 is not rotated. -
