Definitions
- the present invention regards a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters, such as doors and windows, according to the preamble of the main independent claim.
- the present hinging structure is intended to be employed in order to radially associate a movable member, such as the panel of a door or of a furniture piece, with a fixed frame, such as the jamb of a door or the support structure of a furniture piece.
- the windows/doors/shutters are composed of support frames, both for the movable panel part and for the fixed frame part, obtained with hollow metal sections, e.g. made of aluminum, which mount hidden hinges.
- the employed hinges are of the type known in the technical jargon of the field as “hidden” or even “invisible”, since they are not visible from outside once the movable member is arranged in a closed position, since all the elements that compose the hinge are situated substantially completely embedded inside the movable member and the fixed frame.
- the hinge, object of the present invention is therefore inserted in the field of windows/doors/shutters made of metal or of PVC and in the field of production of accessories for windows/doors/shutters made of metal or of PVC.
- hinging structures consist of two profiles of a panel and of a fixed frame connected together by one or more hinges.
- the profiles can be made of different materials, such as wood, plastic or metal (e.g. aluminum). In the case of the present invention, reference will be made to hollow metal profiles.
- the hinges usually consist of two hinge bodies, of which one is fixed to a metal profile of a fixed frame of the window/door/shutter (such as the jamb of a door) and one is fixed to the metal profile of a movable member of the window/door/shutter, such as a panel of a door, which are mechanically connected to each other by a hinge.
- hinges of hidden (or invisible) type are commonly employed, which are substantially not visible from the outside once the movable member is arranged in a closed position.
- the hidden hinges are for example composed of two hinge bodies, each comprising an elongated hull embedded within a corresponding wooden profile of the movable panel or of the fixed frame, and provided with a containment seat in which they house articulation means comprising one or more articulation arms for allowing a rotation of the movable member with respect to the fixed frame, usually 180° around a hinging axis.
- the latter is usually positioned inside the opening defined between the opposite faces of the two wooden profiles.
- the hidden hinges more precisely also comprise two support bodies inserted in the seats of the elongated hulls and intended to make the fulcra for the articulation means.
- hinging structures have been proposed on the market that employ hidden hinges, also for windows/doors/shutters with metal profiles.
- One example of such hinging structures is described in the patent DE 102005039509 . Nevertheless, such solution has shown that it does not lack drawbacks.
- the metal profiles for windows/doors/shutters are in fact shaped with appendages that are superimposed on the opposite profile and that, in the case of use of hidden hinges provided with hinging axis interposed between the two opposite faces of the two profiles, do not allow opening the panel.
- the problem underlying the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the abovementioned prior art, by providing a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which is capable of employing a hinge of hidden type in order to rotatably join hollow metal profiles, maintaining a small distance between the same profiles.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which is fully aesthetically pleasing, since it does not have visible members.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which improves the insulation seal between the panel and the fixed leaf/wing.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which is inexpensive to make.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which is safe and entirely reliable in operation.
- reference number 1 indicates the hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters, subject of the present invention.
- the hinging structure 1 is intended to be employed for rotatably connecting a movable member, for example the panel of a door, of a window or even of a furniture piece, with respect to a fixed frame, for example constituted by a frame of a door, of a window or by the support structure of a furniture piece.
- the hinging structure 1 comprises, in a per se entirely conventional manner, a first hollow metal profile 100 and a second hollow metal profile 200 rotatably connected together by at least one hidden hinge 300.
- the two hollow metal profiles 100, 200 are for example obtained with extruded aluminum sections having cross sections per se known in the field of metal windows/doors/shutters.
- the first hollow metal profile 100 defines a first cavity C1 at its interior, and has a main extension in a first extension direction Y
- the second hollow metal profile 200 defines a second cavity C2 at its interior, and has main extension in a second extension direction Y' parallel to the first extension direction Y.
- the two hollow metal profiles 100, 200 are part of a panel and of a frame (fixed frame) of a metal window/door/shutter, e.g. advantageously as stated made of aluminum, made for example starting from extruded sections joined at the ends in order to form frames intended to make the load-bearing structure of a panel and of the relative fixed frame.
- the two hollow metal profiles 100, 200 illustrated in the enclosed figures are therefore advantageously segments of uprights of the frame of the panel and of the fixed frame.
- Such segments of the first and of the second metal profile 100, 200 are therefore extended in a complete manner, well known to the man skilled in the art, in order to form the metal window/door/shutter of the desired shape and size.
- the first hollow metal profile 100 is provided with a first internal face 101, with a first external face 102, substantially parallel to the first internal face 101 and with a first hinging face 103, arranged to connect the two first internal 101 and external 102 faces.
- a first anchorage face 104 is advantageously provided, opposite the first hinging face 103, and intended to be anchored to the paneling of a door or window, or to the walling depending on whether such first metal profile 100 is part of the movable frame of a furniture piece or of the fixed frame.
- the second hollow metal profile 200 is provided with a second internal face 201, with a second external face 202, substantially parallel to the second internal face 201, and with a second hinging face 203, arranged to connect the two second internal 201 and external 202 faces.
- a second anchorage face 204 is advantageously provided, opposite the second hinging face 203, and intended to be anchored to the walling or to the paneling of a door or window depending on whether such second metal profile 200 is part of the fixed frame or of the movable frame of a furniture piece.
- the hinging structure 1 provides that the first internal face 101 and the first external face 102 of the first hollow metal profile 100 are coplanar, in closed position A, respectively with the second internal face 201 and with the second external face 202 of the second hollow metal profile 200.
- first hollow metal profile 100 is provided with a first appendage 105 projecting from the first hinging face 103 as a continuation of the first internal face 101.
- first appendage 105 is coplanar with the first internal face 101 and without substantial interruption with the latter.
- the second hollow metal profile 200 is also provided with a first depression 205 receding from the second internal face 201 towards the second hinging face 203.
- the first depression 205 has the form of a step receding into the cavity of the second hollow metal profile 200 and extended along its longitudinal extension Y'.
- the hidden hinge 300 to which the present invention refers, is not visible from the outside once the two metal profiles are coupled in the closed position, i.e. when the movable panel is arranged in closed position on the fixed frame, since all the elements that compose the hinge 300 are substantially embedded within the same panel and within the same fixed frame.
- the first appendage 105 partially surmounts the first depression 205, for the section that does not include the first slit 305; in this manner, between the first appendage 105 and the first depression 205 it is possible to mount a seal 400, as will be better described hereinbelow.
- the hidden hinge 300 comprises, in a manner per se entirely conventional, two hinge bodies 2 and 3 that are rotatably mechanically connected together by means of articulation means 4.
- the first hinge body 2 is mechanically fixed to the first hinging face 103 of the first hollow metal profile 100 and is provided with a first containment seat 20.
- the second hinge body 3 is mechanically fixed to the second hinging face 203 and is provided with a second containment seat 30. More precisely, while the first hinge body 2 can be fixed above the first hinging face 103 or at least partially embedded at its interior through a first notch 110, the second hinge body 3 is at least partially embedded within the second cavity C2 of the second metal profile 200 through a notch 210 made in the same second metal profile 200.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention regards a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters, such as doors and windows, according to the preamble of the main independent claim.
- The present hinging structure is intended to be employed in order to radially associate a movable member, such as the panel of a door or of a furniture piece, with a fixed frame, such as the jamb of a door or the support structure of a furniture piece.
- In the case of the structure for windows/doors/shutters, subject of the present invention, the windows/doors/shutters are composed of support frames, both for the movable panel part and for the fixed frame part, obtained with hollow metal sections, e.g. made of aluminum, which mount hidden hinges.
- The employed hinges are of the type known in the technical jargon of the field as "hidden" or even "invisible", since they are not visible from outside once the movable member is arranged in a closed position, since all the elements that compose the hinge are situated substantially completely embedded inside the movable member and the fixed frame.
- The hinge, object of the present invention, is therefore inserted in the field of windows/doors/shutters made of metal or of PVC and in the field of production of accessories for windows/doors/shutters made of metal or of PVC.
- As has been known for some time in the field of windows/doors/shutters, hinging structures consist of two profiles of a panel and of a fixed frame connected together by one or more hinges.
- The profiles can be made of different materials, such as wood, plastic or metal (e.g. aluminum). In the case of the present invention, reference will be made to hollow metal profiles.
- In turn, the hinges usually consist of two hinge bodies, of which one is fixed to a metal profile of a fixed frame of the window/door/shutter (such as the jamb of a door) and one is fixed to the metal profile of a movable member of the window/door/shutter, such as a panel of a door, which are mechanically connected to each other by a hinge.
- In the field of windows/doors/shutters made of metal, the hinges are usually visible and consequently have the drawback of not being aesthetically pleasing, not meeting the architectural standards of the most demanding users.
- Otherwise, in the field of windows/doors/shutters made of wood, hinges of hidden (or invisible) type are commonly employed, which are substantially not visible from the outside once the movable member is arranged in a closed position.
- The hidden hinges are for example composed of two hinge bodies, each comprising an elongated hull embedded within a corresponding wooden profile of the movable panel or of the fixed frame, and provided with a containment seat in which they house articulation means comprising one or more articulation arms for allowing a rotation of the movable member with respect to the fixed frame, usually 180° around a hinging axis. The latter is usually positioned inside the opening defined between the opposite faces of the two wooden profiles.
- Advantageously, the hidden hinges more precisely also comprise two support bodies inserted in the seats of the elongated hulls and intended to make the fulcra for the articulation means.
- Recently, hinging structures have been proposed on the market that employ hidden hinges, also for windows/doors/shutters with metal profiles. One example of such hinging structures is described in the patent
DE 102005039509 . Nevertheless, such solution has shown that it does not lack drawbacks. - The metal profiles for windows/doors/shutters are in fact shaped with appendages that are superimposed on the opposite profile and that, in the case of use of hidden hinges provided with hinging axis interposed between the two opposite faces of the two profiles, do not allow opening the panel. In order to remedy this drawback, it is known to make hinging structures with metal profiles coupled by means of hidden hinges, leaving a considerable distance between the opposite hinging faces of the two profiles.
- Also such solution has shown that it is not very aesthetically pleasing, given that it requires significant openings between the two profiles in order to prevent the appendages of the profiles from interfering with the opposite profile during the opening of the panel.
- Therefore, in this situation, the problem underlying the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the abovementioned prior art, by providing a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which is capable of employing a hinge of hidden type in order to rotatably join hollow metal profiles, maintaining a small distance between the same profiles.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which is fully aesthetically pleasing, since it does not have visible members.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which improves the insulation seal between the panel and the fixed leaf/wing.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which is inexpensive to make.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a hinging structure for windows/doors/shutters which is safe and entirely reliable in operation.
