Description
- The present invention relates to a hinge for doors of kitchen ovens.
- Hinges for oven doors or doors of other similar apparatuses are generally constituted by a first arm, to be associated with the door for closing the chamber of the oven, and by a second arm, to be associated with the structure of the oven, and articulated to the first arm.
- Interposed between the first and the second arm is a kinematic mechanism designed to interact with elastic means for the facilitated closing and opening of the door, while at the same time ensuring the rotation of the second arm with respect to the first arm with a controlled movement, thus ensuring positions of stable equilibrium for the door, both in the configuration of being closed on the chamber of the oven and in the configuration of being open, as well as in any intermediate positions.
- Also known, and increasingly widespread, are hinges for kitchen ovens which are provided with systems for slowing the closing stroke of the door, which are designed to prevent the sudden impact of the door against the body of the oven caused by the action of the elastic means for the facilitated closing of the door against the body of the oven.
- Such systems for slowing the closing stroke of the door are however not capable of preventing the bump of the tilting door against the structure of the oven and they cause a rebound of the door, with closing in two stages, when it is slammed by forceful closing pushes or if it is applied to doors that have considerable masses.
- In fact the doors of ovens are increasingly often made with types of glass that are capable of insulating the structure from the surrounding environment and preventing scalding in the event of contact. This results in the use of increasingly heavy materials with major effects on the extent of the closing bump and of the consequent rebound.
- Finally, in the event of immediate release of the door, these known systems for slowing are not capable of intervening effectively for small opening angles of the door.
- In the sector of production of hinges for ovens, one of the main problems is linked to the structural complexity of these hinges for slowing the travel of the door; this complexity inevitably has repercussions on the production costs, both in terms of components and in terms of assembly times.
- A hinge for ovens is disclosed in
WO2015/086470 . - The aim of the present invention is to provide a hinge for doors of kitchen ovens that is capable of overcoming the above mentioned drawbacks.
- Within this aim an object of the invention is to provide a hinge for doors of kitchen ovens that is capable of preventing the closing bump between a tilting door and the structure of the oven and the subsequent rebound with an antibounce system.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hinge that is capable of slowing the closing of the door in the event of immediate release of the door, even for opening angles comprised between 0° and 10°.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hinge that is structurally simple and easy and cheap to assemble.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hinge that is easy to disassemble by virtue of a system that is agile and pleasant to look at.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hinge that can be easily installed even on existing ovens.
- This aim and these and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a hinge for doors of kitchen ovens according to claim 1 or
claim 13, completed by the subsequent claims. - Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the detailed description that follows of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of the hinge according to the invention, which is illustrated for the purposes of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings wherein:

helical traction spring 37 interposed between thefourth rivet 36, lower, and afifth rivet 38, upper, which is fixed transversely to theside walls containment body 17. - The
second element 32 also carries aroller 41 for sliding on a cam-likecurved edge 42 defined on thesecond part 26 of thesecond arm 12. - The container of the fluid-operated
damper 16 is fixed to thecontainment body 17 by simple interlocking, it being arranged with a rear lower portion thereof 43 on two corresponding resting flaps 44 which are defined on theside walls containment body 17, and locked in an upper region by an extraction-preventingabutment tab 45 which is provided centrally on the central wall of thecontainment body 17 and/or by alateral stud 46. - The container of the fluid-operated
damper 16 is therefore locked without the use of rivets or other locking elements, but only by way of conveniently contoured portions of thecontainment body 17 itself. - The
transmission element 20 is constituted by a flat bar which is arranged so as to slide between two pairs of symmetrical guide tabs, a first pair oflower tabs 47 and a second pair ofupper tabs 48, both of which are defined on theside walls containment body 17. - The second
contoured end 21 of thetransmission element 20 is inclined with respect to the arrangement of the flat central part, so as to protrude from the space occupation of thecontainment body 17, available for contact with thepusher portion 22. - The
pusher portion 22 is constituted by a plate-shaped appendage. - The
integrated element 51 is fixed to thesecond arm 12 by way of therivet 50. - The second
contoured end 21 of thetransmission element 20 encounters the plate that defines thepusher portion 22 at an angle for slowing 24 between the door and the facade of the oven which is comprised between 40° and 0° and is preferably 10°. - The contact between the
second end 21 and thepusher portion 22 continues until the door abuts against the body of the oven. - Such angle makes it possible to optimally dampen the impact of closing the door of the oven, designated with the
reference numeral 52, against the body of that oven, a portion of which is shown schematically in the figures and is designated therein with thereference numeral 53. -
Figure 1 shows thehinge 10 according to the invention in the configuration in which thedoor 52 is closed on the body of theoven 53. - In the final step of closing the door of the oven, while the
integrated element 51, as shown, dampens the impact, theantibounce system 58 prevents its "rebound effect", keeping thearm 12 and the body of theoven 53 mutually integral. -
Figures 4 to 8 show a hinge for doors of kitchen ovens according to the invention in a second embodiment and is designated with thereference numeral 110. -
Such hinge 110 is of the type comprising afirst arm 111 to be associated with a door for closing the chamber of an oven, not shown in the figures, and asecond arm 112, articulated to thefirst arm 111, to be associated with thestructure 153 of the oven. - Interposed between the
first arm 111 and thesecond arm 112 is akinematic mechanism 113 which is adapted to actuateelastic means 114 for the facilitated closing of the door. - Between such
first arm 111 and suchsecond arm 112 there are also interposed means 115 for slowing the closing movement of the door. - A peculiarity of the invention consists in that the
means 115 for slowing the closing movement of the door comprise acontainer 116 of a fluid-operateddamper 118 which is affixed to acontainment body 117, which is part of thefirst arm 111, and thedamper 118 contained therein. - The fluid-operated
damper 118 contained in thecontainer 116 is actuated by atransmission element 120, which is in a single piece with thebody 116 for containing the damper, and can translate with respect to thecontainment body 117 of thefirst arm 111. - The
transmission element 120 has acontoured end 121 which is designed to slide in contact with apusher portion 122, with a predefined and fixed angle of inclination, of anintegrated element 151, which is in turn connected to thesecond arm 112. - The
integrated element 151 is made of plastic material. - The
pusher portion 122 is integral with theintegrated element 151 with a preferred angle of inclination with respect to a vertical in the configuration for use. - This
pusher portion 122 is adapted to correspond to theportion 152 of thesecond arm 112. - The
transmission element 120 and thepusher portion 122 are arranged on the respectivefirst arm 111 andsecond arm 112 so that thecontoured end 121 of thetransmission element 120 and thepusher portion 122 meet for a preset angle for slowing between the door and the facade of the oven. - One of the peculiarities of the invention consists of the method of associating the
second arm 112 with thestructure 153 of the oven. - The
second arm 112 has an arc-shapedappendage 160. - The
integrated element 151 has two mutually opposite andcoaxial holes 161, oval in profile, each one on acorresponding side wall 162 of theelement 151. -
Such holes 161 are adapted for the insertion of a translatingpin 163. - This
pin 163 has two widened ends which allow them sufficient play to translate within theholes 161, without exiting completely therefrom. - The
pin 163 can slide by virtue of the profile of theholes 161. - The
appendage 160 of thesecond arm 112 is adapted for the insertion of thepin 163, in order to generate an interference and clamp thesecond arm 112 to thestructure 153 of the oven. - The
integrated element 151 is fixed to thesecond arm 112 by way of therivet 150. - The
second arm 112 has anend 165, substantially parallel to theappendage 160, which is adapted to be inserted in acorresponding hole 166 of thestructure 153 of the oven. - The
second arm 112 also has arecess 164, on the opposite edge to that from which theintegrated element 151 extends, which is adapted to generate an interference with thestructure 153 of the oven. - With reference to
Figures 6 to 8 , to install ahinge 110 on thestructure 153 of an oven: - the
end 165 of thesecond arm 112 is introduced into thehole 166 of thestructure 153 of the oven, by inserting therecess 164, of thesecond arm 112, into the lower edge of thehole 166, thus producing an interference between the two, - the
integrated element 151 is rotated about therivet 150 in order to put it into contact with thestructure 153 of the oven, according to the direction of thearrow 167, - the
pin 163 is translated, according to the direction of thearrow 168, in order to produce an interference with theappendage 160 and obtain the affixing of thehinge 110 to the oven. - It should be noted that, with the presence of the translating
pin 163 and of the arc-shapedappendage 160 on thesecond arm 112, the door can be installed on and/or removed from the oven very quickly and without the need for tools. - With reference to all the figures, the
hinge 110 comprises anantibounce system 158 which is made up of: - the translating
pin 163 of theintegrated element 151 and theappendage 160 of thesecond arm 112, which render thesecond arm 112 integral with a portion of the body of theoven 153; - the two
holes 161 of theelement 151, which are adapted for the insertion of the translatingpin 163; - a
seat 159, of theintegrated element 151, which is adapted to contain the corresponding portion of thearm 112; - a seat-
guide 154 for the guided and slowed sliding of thecontoured end 121. - In the embodiment described herein of the
hinge 110 according to the invention, which is to be understood as a non-limiting example of the invention, thecontainment body 117 of thefirst arm 111 is provided by a profile which is predominantly longitudinally extended and is substantially U-shaped in cross-section, with openings, holes and folds designed for the mounting of thekinematic mechanism 113, of theelastic means 114, and of the means for slowing 115; these should be understood as being of known type. - The
second arm 112 comprises: - a plate of sheet metal having a
first portion 125 for coupling to the body of an oven in which thehinge 110 is installed, - a
second portion 126 for hinging to thefirst arm 111, by way of atubular pin 127 and corresponding first locking rivet, and for hinging for afirst element 128 of thekinematic mechanism 113, by way of asecond rivet 129. - The
kinematic mechanism 113 comprises: - the
second portion 126 of thesecond arm 112, - the
first element 128, which is composed of two opposingcontoured plates 130 which are joined by arear joining bridge 131 and are hinged to thesecond portion 126 with thesecond rivet 129 and to asecond element 132 of thekinematic mechanism 113 with athird rivet 133. - The
second element 132 is also defined between two opposingcontoured plates 134 which are joined by abridge 135, and afourth rivet 136 for coupling theelastic means 114 is fixed between suchcontoured plates 134. - The elastic means 114 are constituted, for example, by a
helical traction spring 137 interposed between thefourth rivet 136, lower, and afifth rivet 138, upper, which is fixed transversely to theside walls containment body 117. - The
second element 132 also carries aroller 141 for sliding on a cam-likecurved edge 142 defined on thesecond part 126 of thesecond arm 112. - The
container 116 of the fluid-operateddamper 118 is fixed to thecontainment body 117 by simple interlocking, it being inserted with a rear portion thereof 143 in contact with two corresponding resting flaps 144 which are defined on theside walls containment body 117, and locked in an upper region by an extraction-preventingabutment rivet 169, in contact with thedamper 118. Such extraction-preventingrivet 169 passes through two corresponding throughholes 170 each of which is provided on one of theside walls containment body 117. - The
abutment rivet 169 also acts as a stroke-limit for the fluid-operateddamper 118. - The
transmission element 120 is constituted by a flat bar, which is in a single piece with thecontainer 116 of the fluid-operateddamper 118, and which is arranged so as to slide between two pairs of symmetrical guide tabs, a first pair oflower tabs 147 and a second pair ofupper tabs 148, both of which are defined on theside walls containment body 117. - The
contoured end 121 of thetransmission element 120 is inclined with respect to the arrangement of the flat central part, so as to protrude from the space occupation of thecontainment body 117, available for contact with thepusher portion 122. - The
pusher portion 122 is flat and inclined with respect to the direction of extension of theside walls 162 of theintegrated element 151. - The second
contoured end 121 of thetransmission element 120 encounters thepusher portion 122 at an angle for slowing between the door and the facade of the oven which is comprised between 40° and 0° and is preferably 10°. - The contact between the
second end 121 and thepusher portion 122 continues until the door abuts against the body of the oven. - Such angle makes it possible to optimally dampen the impact of closing the door of the oven, not shown in the figures, against the body of that oven, a portion of which is shown schematically in the figures and is designated therein with the
reference numeral 153. -
Figure 4 shows thehinge 110 according to the invention in the configuration in which the door is closed on the body of theoven 153. - In the final step of closing the door of the oven, while the
integrated element 151, as shown, dampens the impact, theantibounce system 158 prevents its "rebound effect", keeping thearm 112 and the body of theoven 153 mutually integral. - In practice it has been found that the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects.
- In particular, with the invention a hinge has been provided which, by virtue of the peculiar means for slowing the closing movement of the door, makes it possible for the door to approach the body of the oven without the "rebound effect" and without any audible sound being emitted, differently to what occurs with conventional hinges, in which the closing movement concludes with a clearly audible impact.
- In particular, with the invention a hinge has been provided that is structurally simple and easy and cheap to assemble, by virtue of the limited number of components and mounting elements, which are almost exclusively rivets; in particular the fluid-operated damper is associated with the containment body of the first arm without using rivets or other affixing elements.
- The positioning in the door makes the hinge according to the invention simpler to disassemble if needed than conventional hinges mounted in the body of the oven.
- The hinge according to the invention can be easily installed even on existing ovens.
- The invention, thus conceived, is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims.
- In practice the components employed, and the contingent dimensions and shapes, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly, such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
