Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a concealed hinge, of the type utilisable for pivotally connecting a movable leaf to a stationary frame.
  • the present invention relates to a concealed hinge which is advantageously utilisable for pivotally connecting a door leaf to the corresponding frame.
  • Concealed hinges also referred to as invisible hinges, are known in the art, which allow pivotally connecting a door leaf to the door frame in such a manner that the door leaf can rotate by 180° relative to the frame and which cannot be seen from the outside when the door is closed.
  • Concealed hinges of the above type are known for instance from United States patents US 1 484 093 , US 2 122 034 and US 1 688 996 , as well as from European patent application EP 1 577 474 and from German patent DE 10 2005 039509 .
  • a prior art concealed hinge 101 includes a first hinge body 103, adapted to be inserted into a corresponding cavity 107 of a door frame 111, and a second hinge body 105 adapted to be inserted into a corresponding cavity 109 of a door leaf 113.
  • the first hinge body 103 and the second hinge body 105 are mutually connected by means of a first hinge arm 115 and a second hinge arm 117 which are rotatably connected by means of a pivot pin 119.
  • a first end 115a of the first hinge arm 115 is rotatably connected to a rotation pin 121 which is fixedly attached to the first hinge body 103, and the second end 115b of the first hinge arm 115 is rotatably connected to a sliding pin 125 which in turn is slidably mounted in a guide groove 129 provided in the second hinge body 105.
  • a first end 117a of the second hinge arm 117 is rotatably connected to a rotation pin 123, which is fixedly attached to the second hinge body 105, and the second end 117b of the second hinge arm 117 is rotatably connected to a sliding pin 127, which in turn is slidably mounted in a guide groove 131 provided in the first hinge body 103.
  • Guide grooves 129, 131 can be either rectilinear (as in the example shown in Figs. 1a, 1b ) or curvilinear. As clearly shown in Fig. 1a , said guide grooves 129, 131 exhibit a mirror-like symmetry with respect to a plane P passing through pivot pin 119 and perpendicular to the aligned surfaces of door frame 111 and door leaf 113 when the door is closed.
  • the door leaf can perform a rotary-translational movement allowing opening said door leaf by up to 180° relative to the door frame without interferences.
  • one or more seals are to be provided around the door profile on the door leaf and/or the door frame in correspondence of suitable abutments.
  • Said seals aim at providing an effective thermal and acoustic insulation while providing permeability to air and at the same time tightness to water and humidity.
  • said seals are to be suitably compressed, and hence deformed, when the door is closed.
  • a concealed hinge includes a first hinge body adapted to be secured to a door frame, a second hinge body adapted to be secured to a door leaf, and a pair of hinge arms which are rotatably connected together by means of a pivot pin.
  • the first hinge arm is rotatably connected at one end to a rotation pin which is fixedly attached to the first hinge body, and at the opposite end to a sliding pin which in turn is slidably mounted in one or more guide grooves provided in the second hinge body.
  • the second hinge arm is rotatably connected at one end to a rotation pin which is fixedly attached to the second hinge body, and at the opposite end to a sliding pin which in turn is slidably mounted in one or more guide grooves provided in the first hinge body.
  • the guide groove provided in the first hinge body and the guide groove provided in the second hinge body are curvilinear and they do not exhibit a mirror-like symmetry with respect to a plane passing through the pivot axis of the hinge arms and perpendicular to the aligned surfaces of the door frame and the door leaf when the door is closed.
  • said guide grooves are made so that the guide groove in one of said hinge bodies is curvilinear and has its concavity facing the pivot axis of the hinge arms, and the guide groove of the other one of said hinge bodies is curvilinear and has its concavity facing away from the pivot axis of the hinge arms, i.e. it has its convexity facing the pivot axis of the hinge arms.
  • the guide groove provided in the hinge body secured to the door leaf is shaped as an arc of which the concavity faces the pivot axis of the hinge arms
  • the guide groove provided in the hinge body secured to the door frame is shaped as an arc of which the convexity faces the pivot axis of the hinge arms.
  • the asymmetrical configuration of the guide grooves of the hinge according to the invention it is possible to achieve a non-uniform rotary-translational movement of the door leaf relative to the door frame: along the opening/closing path of the door leaf it is possible to achieve some path sections in which the movement is mainly, or even substantially, a translational movement, and other sections in which the movement is mainly, or even substantially, a rotary movement.
  • the door leaf movement is mainly, or even substantially, a translational movement in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the frame of the door itself.
  • a concealed hinge according to the invention is shown, denoted in the whole by reference numeral 1.
  • Said concealed hinge 1 includes a first hinge body 3 adapted to be secured to the stationary door frame (not shown in Fig. 2 for the sake of clarity), and a second hinge body 5 adapted to be secured to the movable door leaf (not shown in Fig. 2 for the sake of clarity).
  • the first hinge body 3 and the second hinge body 5 are provided with respective holes 4, 6 for the passage of fastening means, such as for instance screws, nails and the like, for the fastening to the door frame and the door leaf, respectively.
  • the first hinge body 3 and the second hinge body 5 are mutually connected through a first hinge arm 15 and a second hinge arm 17, which are rotatably connected by means of a pivot pin 19 defining a pivot axis for said hinge arms 15, 17.
  • hinge arms 15, 17 are chosen so that they can bear the load associated with the weight of an exterior door, which is significantly higher than that of the interior doors.
  • the first arm 15 is substantially H-shaped, with the vertical side arms extending over the whole height of hinge bodies 3, 5, and with a horizontal central arm.
  • the second arm 17 extends over the whole height of hinge bodies 3, 5 and has a central window allowing the passage of the horizontal central arm of the first arm 15 and its rotation.
  • hinge arms 15, 17, and more generally of hinge 1 according to the invention are disclosed hereinbelow with reference to Figs. 3a to 3d , in which the hinge is shown as being applied to an exterior door including a door frame 11 secured to a wall 10 and a movable door leaf 13 associated with the frame.
  • the sequence from Fig. 3a to Fig. 3d shows the door opening sequence from a closed door configuration ( Fig. 3a ) to a wholly open door configuration ( Fig. 3d ), in which door leaf 13 is rotated by 180° relative to the door frame.
  • the door closure sequence takes place according to the reverse sequence, that is, from the configuration shown in Fig. 3d to the configuration shown in Fig. 3a .
  • the exterior door is equipped with suitable seals extending along the profile of the door itself.
  • a first seal 12 is applied to door frame 11 and, to this end, said door frame 11 has, on its side facing the interior, a projecting peripheral edge 11a acting as an abutment for door leaf 13, and said first seal 12 is applied onto the face of said projecting peripheral edge 11a facing door leaf 13.
  • a second seal 14 is applied to door leaf 13 and, to this end, said door leaf 13 has, on its side facing the interior, a projecting peripheral edge 13a acting as an abutment for door frame 11, and said second seal 14 is applied onto the face of said projecting peripheral edge 13a facing door frame 11.
  • door leaf 13 abuts against peripheral edge 11a of door frame 11
  • peripheral edge 13a of door leaf 13 abuts against door frame 11 and seals 12, 14 are compressed between said door leaf and said door frame and consequently are suitably deformed.
  • seals 12 14 are compressed between said door leaf and said door frame and consequently are suitably deformed.
  • Door leaf 13 is hinged to door frame 11 through one or more concealed hinges 1 according to the invention.
  • door leaf 13 can rotate by 180° relative to door frame 11 (see Fig. 3d ) and, when the door is closed (see Fig. 3a ), no hinge element can be seen from the outside
  • first hinge body 3 and the second hinge body 5 are mutually connected through a first hinge arm 15 and a second hinge arm 17, which are rotatably connected by means of a pivot pin 19 defining a pivot axis for said hinge arms 15, 17.
  • a first end 15a of the first hinge arm 15 is rotatably connected to a rotation pin 21 which is fixedly attached to the first hinge body 3, and the second end 15b of the first hinge arm 15 is rotatably connected to a sliding pin 25 the ends of which are slidably mounted inside a pair of guide grooves 29 provided in the bottom wall and the top wall, respectively, of the second hinge body 5, only the groove provided in the bottom wall being visible in the Figures.
  • a first end 17a of the second hinge arm 17 is rotatably connected to a rotation pin 23 which is fixedly attached to the second hinge body 5 and the second end 17b of the second hinge arm 17 is rotatably connected to a sliding pin 27 the ends of which are slidably mounted inside a pair of guide grooves 31 provided in the bottom wall and the top wall, respectively, of the first hinge body 3, only the groove provided in the bottom wall being visible in the Figures.
  • guide grooves 29, 31 of the first and second hinge bodies 3, 5 are curvilinear and they do not exhibit a mirror-like symmetry with respect to a plane passing through pivot pin 19 and perpendicular to the aligned surfaces of door frame 11 and door leaf 13 when the door is closed.
  • the guide grooves in one of the hinge bodies are curvilinear and their concavities face the pivot axis of the hinge, whereas the guide grooves in the other hinge body are curvilinear and their convexities face the pivot axis of the hinge.
  • guide grooves 31 of the second hinge body are curvilinear and their concavities face pivot axis 19 of hinge 1
  • guide grooves 29 of the first hinge body are curvilinear and their convexities face pivot axis 19 of hinge 1.
  • guide grooves 29, 31 substantially have a circular arc shape.
  • guide grooves 29, 31 have a different and more complex curvilinear shape.
  • guide grooves 29, 31 substantially have the same radius of curvature and in the preferred embodiment the same extension, and only differ in the orientation of their concavities/convexities with respect to hinge pivot pin 19.
  • guide grooves 29, 31 could have mutually different radiuses of curvature and/or mutually different extensions.
  • each hinge body has a pair of guide grooves provided in the bottom wall and the top wall, respectively, of said hinge bodies, a single groove guide could even be provided for each hinge body.
  • the rotary-translational movement of door leaf 13 relative to door frame 11 is not uniform. On the contrary, it is possible to achieve a door leaf movement that in some sections is mainly or only a translational movement, with little or no rotation, and in other sections is mainly or only a rotary movement, with little or no translation.
  • door leaf 13 will become sufficiently spaced from door frame 11 to enable the subsequent rotation of said door leaf 13, without interference of projecting peripheral edge 13a of the door leaf bearing the second seal 14 with door frame 11 or interference of said door leaf 13 with projecting peripheral edge 11a of door frame 11 bearing the first seal 12 ( Fig. 3c ).
  • the invention is not to be considered for that reason as being limited to such an application.
  • the invention could be applied to other cases in which one or more seals are provided between a movable leaf and the corresponding frame (one could think for instance to the leaf of a fridge door). More generally, the invention could be advantageously applied in all cases in which it is preferable to have a non-uniform rotary-translational movement of the movable leaf relative to the frame.
