Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a concealed hinge for a door or window, particularly for a door or window with a fixed frame and a leaf that is suspended rotatably around a vertical shaft in the fixed frame by means of one or more concealed hinges.
  • the invention relates to a hinge for a door or window the fixed frame of which is made up of hollow profiles.
  • the frame profiles and the leaf profiles are provided with a lip with which these profiles overlap in closed condition of the door or window and to which a seal is fitted for the sealing between the frame profiles and the leaf profiles.
  • a concealed hinge refers to a hinge that is built into the space between the leaf and the fixed frame, more specifically in the rebate which in a closed door or window is delimited between the opposite walls of the frame and of the leaf and said lips, such that the hinge is not visible when the door or window is closed.
  • Known concealed hinges are made from a frame section which is attached on the frame and a leaf section which is attached on the leaf, more specifically on the level of said opposite walls of the frame and of the leaf, whereby both parts are hingeably connected by means of a shaft.
  • Hinges are already known whereby the frame section is essentially made as a box-shaped injection moulded body which fits in a pre-fitted recess in the wall of the frame profile facing the rebate, said box-shaped body being open toward the rebate and whereby the leaf section is provided with a curved hook-shaped part which with a closed window or door essentially extends in the box-shaped body and along its free edge is hingeably connected to it by means of a shaft which is attached in the box-shaped body at a depth.
  • holes are drilled in the known way on the site in said wall of the frame, in which for example blind rivet nuts or clip anchors are attached with a female thread, in which screws can be screwed for attaching the frame section of the hinge on the frame.
  • the box-shaped body is provided at both ends with longitudinal laterally extending flanges which are provided with holes for bolts or screws, which can be screwed in said blind rivet nuts or clip anchors to tighten the flanges against the wall of the frame profile facing the rebate.
  • a height adjustment is provided on the known hinges to be able to adjust the height of the leaf in relation to the frame by adjusting the position of the frame section upward.
  • several extra components are usually provided which, moreover, are visible when a window or door is open, which is not very aesthetic and moreover may encourage fiddling with the height adjustment, which is not desired of course.
  • a disadvantage of the known hinges is that the frame section is manufactured by injection moulding, which makes said component relatively expensive, particularly in view of the high cost of the cast to make said frame section.
  • DE20021406U1 discloses an arrangement comprising a frame binding section that is fixed to the frame of a door or window, as well as a wing binding section that is fixed to the wing of the door or window. Vertically, there is hinge section of the binding section that has binding bolts for forming a hinge-like turnable connection for the binding section. There is an adjustment system for adjusting the height level of the wing binding section opposite the frame binding section.
  • the invention relates to a concealed hinge for attaching a leaf of a window or door in a fixed frame that is composed of hollow frame profiles, whereby the hinge contains a frame section and a leaf section and whereby the leaf section is intended to be attached to the leaf and is provided with a hook-shaped part for connecting with the frame section and whereby the frame section is intended to be attached to a wall of the frame profile and to this end is provided at each end with a flange and whereby the frame section is provided with a recess for the hook-shaped part of the leaf section which is hingeably connected with the frame section by means of a shaft, wherein the frame section is manufactured from one piece of an extruded basic profile with a first wall and at least a first channel at a distance from said first wall, whereby the basic profile is removed at both its head ends over a length up to said first wall to form said flanges and whereby the first wall
  • Such a hinge according to the invention ensures that the frame section can be manufactured relatively easily, quickly and affordably by milling or the like of a one-piece extruded profile.
  • the basic profile can also serve for the manufacture of a frame section, suitable for frame profiles with divergent sizes and forms. This results in a greater flexibility in the production to switch between the production of different hinges for different forms of frame profiles, whereby the optimum rotation point can always be set depending on the type of profile.
  • the frame section consists of one robust component which benefits the stability of the hinge.
  • the shaft of the concealed hinge can be mounted through the remaining sections of the first channel, whereby the shaft can be longitudinally secured at its ends by means of a locknut or other locking means.
  • a height adjustment for the leaf is provided in the frame section by adjusting the height of the frame section in the recess of the frame profile in which the frame section is mounted.
  • the basic profile which is the basis for the manufacture of the frame section, is preferably provided with a second channel which is removed on the level of the recess in the frame section and in which an adjusting screw is fitted.
  • the second channel is positioned such that in mounted condition of the frame section the adjusting screw is located in the recess of the frame profile opposite a rib or other detailing of the frame profile.
  • the concealed hinge with the leaf attached thereto rests on the opposite rib or other detailing of the frame profile with the adjusting screw.
  • the position of the leaf in the fixed frame can be adjusted upward.
  • the basic profile from which the frame section is manufactured possesses a second wall opposite said first wall. Both walls are connected by two connecting walls, a first and a second connecting wall respectively, to delimit an enclosed chamber, which benefits the robustness and stability of the frame section of the hinge.
  • one connecting wall can be formed such that it is located in the extension of the hook-shaped part of the leaf section in the open condition of the concealed hinge, such that said connecting wall forms an integrated protective cover for the recess in the frame profile in which the frame section of the hinge is mounted.
  • the frame section consists of one robust component, which benefits the stability.
  • the hinge comprises the following characteristics.
  • the recess in the central section of the first wall extends from one side edge of said first wall to a distance from the opposite side edge of said first wall.
  • the length (E) of the recess is slightly longer than the length (F) of the hook-shaped part of the leaf section of the concealed hinge.
  • the first wall is a flat wall.
  • the shaft of the concealed hinge extends through the remaining sections of the first channel and the shaft is longitudinally secured at its ends by means of a locknut or other locking means.
  • Holes are provided in said flanges for screws or bolts for attachment of the flanges against the frame profile.
  • the second channel is positioned such that the adjusting screw is located in mounted condition of the frame section in the recess of the frame profile opposite a rib or other detailing of the frame profile.
  • the adjusting screw is provided with a seat for a socket head wrench or another tool with which the adjusting screw can be screwed in or out, whereby said end is oriented toward the central recess of the frame section.
  • the adjusting screw is provided with a support foot which extends outward relative to the remaining section of the second channel.
  • the basic profile from which the frame section is manufactured possesses a second wall opposite said first wall and both walls are connected with each other by two connecting walls, a first connecting wall and a second connecting wall respectively, to delimit an enclosed chamber.
  • the connecting walls are located at a distance from the side edges of the first wall of the basic profile from which the frame section of the hinge is manufactured.
  • the first channel is provided in the first connecting wall.
  • the section of the first connecting wall between the first channel and the first wall is shifted toward the second connecting wall, said section of the first connecting wall being located in the extension of the hook-shaped part of the leaf section in the open condition of the concealed hinge.
  • the second channel is located in the enclosed chamber of the basic profile from which the frame section is manufactured.
  • the invention also relates to a door or window with a fixed frame in which a leaf is hingeably suspended by means of concealed hinges according to the invention, with a frame section manufactured from a basic profile, whereby the frame section of the concealed hinges is partially fitted in a recess of the frame profile.
  • the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a concealed hinge, as described above, with a frame section and leaf section which are hingeably connected by means of a shaft, whereby the frame section is provided with a recess for a hook-shaped part of the leaf section with which it is hingeably connected and a flange at each end of the frame section for attaching on a frame profile, characterised in that the manufacture of the frame section is based on a length of an extruded basic profile with a first wall and at least a first channel at a distance from said first wall, whereby the method comprises the following steps:
  • the method is based on a basic profile which next to the first channel contains another second channel which is removed on the level of said recess and whereby in the remaining section an adjusting screw is screwed at least in one end of the recess.
  • the method is also based on a basic profile the second channel of which is positioned such that when the frame section is mounted in a recess of the frame profile provided for this purpose, the adjusting screw is located opposite a rib or other detailing of the frame profile.
  • the invention also relates to a concealed hinge for attaching a leaf of a window or door in a fixed frame which is composed of hollow frame profiles with internal ribs, whereby the hinge contains a frame section and a leaf section and whereby the leaf section is intended to be attached to the leaf and is provided with a hook-shaped part to connect with the frame section and whereby the frame section is intended to be attached in a recess of the frame profile, whereby the frame section is provided with an adjusting screw for the height adjustment of the recess which in a mounted condition of the frame section is positioned in the recess opposite a rib of the frame profile and rests on it.
  • the adjusting screw is provided at one end with a seat for a socket head wrench or another tool with which the adjusting screw can be screwed in or out, whereby said end is oriented toward the central recess of the frame section.
  • the adjusting screw is provided with a support foot at its other end which extends outward relative to the remaining section of the second channel.
  • Figure 1 shows a concealed hinge 1 according to the invention positioned between a frame profile 2 of a fixed frame of a window or door and a leaf profile 3 of a rotatable leaf 6 of the window or of the door 4.
  • the frame profile 2 in the shown example is a profile with several hollow chambers which are separated from each other by ribs or partitions 4.
  • the walls 5 and 6 of the frame profile 2 and of the leaf profile 3 respectively are oriented toward each other and delimit the rebate or open space between the frame and the leaf in which the hinge 1 is mounted in a concealed way.
  • the hinge 1 is composed of a frame section 7 for attaching on the frame profile 2 and a leaf section 8 for attaching on the leaf profile 3, said parts 7 and 8 being hingeably connected by means of a shaft 10.
  • the frame section 7 is formed by a box-shaped body 10 with length A and at both ends a flange 11 with screw holes 12 which extend in a parallel way with the longitudinal direction X-X' of the shaft 9.
  • the frame profile 2 is provided with a recess 13 with a length B and width C, which is millled to a certain depth from the wall 5, whereby the frame section 7 fits with its body 10 in the recess 13 in such a way that in the mounted condition of the frame section 7 the body 10 is still slideable longitudinally X-X' in the recess 13 for the height adjustment of the hinge 1.
