Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a snap hinge with a damper device in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, particularly but not exclusively a snap hinge intended to be used in furniture to support the doors and to guide the mobile doors in their movement of opening and closing.
  • snap hinges are widely used to allow the opening and closing of furniture doors and doors and comprising a cup-shaped part to be recessed secured to the furniture door, a hinge arm hooked to a securing plate for hinges intended to be secured to a furniture shoulder, articulation means for connecting the hinge arm and the hinge cup to each other in an operatively connected manner and elastic means for ensuring the snap closure of the hinge, thereby preventing the doors from opening by themselves in an unwanted way.
  • This last aspect i.e. the possibility of unhooking the hinge arm from the securing plate, is essential in order to allow the door to be removed from the furniture shoulder without losing the positioning adjustments of the door with respect to the furniture shoulder itself.
  • the furniture door Basically it is required the furniture door to have a snap closing movement due to the elastic return action exerted by the elastic means during the closing movement of the hinge and, at the same time, we want the closing movement of the door is braked, i.e. slowed down, by the action of a damper, so as to prevent the door from slamming shut.
  • the dampers used are of the damped fluid piston type and can be secured to the cabinet in such positions that they can be directly activated by the doors during the last stretch of their closing movement.
  • This solution is penalized by the negative aesthetic impact due to the presence of the dampers which remain visible, even if inside the cabinet.
  • the application of these dampers to the cabinet involves the need to carry out further drilling and assembly operations with respect to those generally required.
  • securing the damper on the hinge arm is not practical, as it requires shaping the hinge arm so as to make it suitable for securing with the damper, as well as not very firm in as it offers a securing point spaced from the shoulder of the furniture to which the hinge arm is secured by means of the securing plate.
  • document EP 3290624 B1 provides for the positioning of a linear damper under the hinge arm, so that the free end of the damper stem acts on the helical spring which acts between the arm and the cup to determine the snap closure.
  • This solution is unsatisfactory as it determines a greater bulk in the longitudinal length of the hinge arm in order to house a damper inside which cannot be reduced in size too much in order not to lose efficiency.
  • the hinge in accordance with the prior document EP 3290624 B1 requires increasing the length of the hinge arm, in order to avoid interference with the more advanced of the two adjustment screws on the top side of the hinge arm.
  • CN 106761096-A relates to a snap hinge with a damper device comprising a hinge arm extended in a longitudinal direction and under which a helical spring and a damper are lodged, wherein said damper is positioned along said longitudinal direction of said hinge arm to act with one end against the helical portion of the helical spring.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is that of devising a snap hinge with a damper device having structural and functional characteristics such as to allow damping in the snap closure movement of a hinge and to meet the requirements referred to, particularly with regard to the containment of the height and width dimensions of the hinge arm and the dimensions of the hinge cup.
  • numeral 1 generally indicates a snap hinge with a damper device for opening and closing a furniture door (not shown) according to the invention.
  • Hinge 1 includes:
  • connection of the hinge arm 4 to the underlying securing plate 7 takes place with the interposition of an intermediate base (not shown), being however possible to provide a direct securing of the hinge arm to the base or, even, according to a further embodiment not shown, it is possible to provide a direct securing of the hinge arm to the furniture shoulder.
  • the hinge arm is provided with appropriate flanges with through slots for securing screws.
  • the hinge 1 is provided with centering and adjustment elements by acting on which it is possible to:
  • the hinge arm 4 takes the form of a C-shaped profile section, having a predetermined longitudinal axis X-X, formed by a top flat wall 4a from which two respective and opposite longitudinal sides 4b extend.
  • the intermediate base (not shown), it should be noted that it is preferably shaped in such a way as to fit into the "C" identified by the hinge arm 4, forming with it a coupling of a suitable shape to allow the hinge arm 4 to be able to perform a limited relevant displacement in the above-mentioned longitudinal direction X-X with respect to the intermediate base.
  • the correct positioning of the hinge arm 4 with respect to the underlying securing plate 7 is obtained by suitably acting on the above-mentioned centering and adjustment elements accessible from the top flat wall 4a of the hinge arm (see the two cross screw heads 39).
  • the hinge cup part 3 extends as an extension of the hinge arm 4 in the above-mentioned axial direction X-X starting from the rear end 8 and is identified by a bottom 9 from which the side walls extend vertically.
  • the hinge cup 3 has a size such that it can be housed in a hole having a diameter of 35 mm or, alternatively, it is possible that the hinge cup has such dimensions that it can be housed in a hole having a diameter of 26 mm, the hole diameter values equal to 26 mm or 35 mm being universally used today. More specifically, the hinge cup 3 has in the direction of the axis X-X along which the hinge arm 4 extends a length equal to the measure listed above, while in the transverse direction Y-Y which is perpendicular to the above-mentioned longitudinal direction XX, it has an internal width defined between two opposite side walls 17 substantially arranged parallel to axis X-X.
  • the hinge cup 3 has a front wall 21 extending between the two opposite side walls 17 at its front end, that is to say the opposite end to the rear end where it is hinged to the hinge arm 4.
  • the hinge cup 3 is provided with a top securing flange 6 which passes in front the part actually shaped like a hinge cup and is provided with holes, in the example two in number, each suitable for receiving a respective securing means, for example, a screw or an expansion plug, to ensure the securing of the hinge cup 3 to the internal wall of the door.
  • the hinge cup can be devoid of a securing flange.
  • the shape of the hinge cup 3 may differ from that of the example considered herein.
  • first articulated connection means 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 comprise:
  • the elastic means 30 act in thrust between a part integral with the hinge arm and a part integral with one of the two above-mentioned connecting rods 11, 12 to generate the above-mentioned elastic return action that brings the hinge 1 into the above-mentioned closing configuration.
  • the above-mentioned elastic means act:
  • the hinge 1 also comprises a damper device 2 comprising a body 18 and a rod 19 extending along said longitudinal direction X-X and operatively coupled to each other to identify a cylinder-piston group and to be mutually movable along said longitudinal direction X-X in contrast to a braking action relative motion damping/contrast.
  • a damper device 2 comprising a body 18 and a rod 19 extending along said longitudinal direction X-X and operatively coupled to each other to identify a cylinder-piston group and to be mutually movable along said longitudinal direction X-X in contrast to a braking action relative motion damping/contrast.
  • the damper device 2 is provided in the hinge 1 in order to slow down the approach movement between the hinge cup 3 and the hinge arm 4 during the above-mentioned last portion of the closing movement of the hinge 1 when passing from the open hinge configuration to the closed hinge configuration,
  • the above-mentioned damper device 2 is positioned inside the hinge 1 so as to:
  • both the above-mentioned elastic means 30 and the damper device 2 are positioned under the hinge arm 4 so as to be arranged side by side in parallel with each other along the longitudinal direction X-X, so as to be able to contain the overall length in the longitudinal direction X-X of the hinge arm 4.
  • this allows the above-mentioned centering and adjustment elements accessible from the top flat wall 4a of the hinge arm to be removed from the front end 5 of the hinge arm 4, as well as not to have to provide a greater distance between the above-mentioned centering and adjustment elements.
  • the elastic means 30 and the damper device 2 are offset from each other in the above-mentioned Y-Y transverse direction so as not to overlap each other in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal sides 4b of the hinge arm 4.
  • the elastic means 30 extend, for a prevalent part of them, in the longitudinal direction X-X starting from the front end 5 of the hinge arm 4.
  • the elastic means 30 have a substantially U-shape comprising opposing arms 30a, extended in said longitudinal direction X-X, connected to each other by a central connecting portion 30b, an arm 30a (specifically the upper arm) acts in thrust against the hinge arm 4, while the remaining arm (specifically the lower arm) acts in thrust against the above-mentioned cam element 12a of the lower connecting rod 12.
  • the above-mentioned central connecting portion 30b is a curvilinear connecting portion between the two arms 30a and is not helical-shaped.
  • the elastic means 30 are arranged side by side in parallel with the damping device 2 at least in correspondence with said central connecting portion 30b.
  • the free end of the arms 30a is positioned in proximity to said front end 5 of the hinge arm 4, while the above-mentioned central connecting portion 30b is positioned further back with respect to said end front 5.
  • the above-mentioned elastic means are a leaf spring 30.
  • the hinge 1 in the above-mentioned transverse direction Y-Y comprises, staggered in succession, a damping device 2 interposed between two distinct leaf springs 30.
  • This configuration proved to be advantageous as it is well balanced, thus preventing the presence of an odd number of springs on one side only from causing imbalances or irregularities in the functioning of the hinge.
  • the damper device 2 has two opposite head ends 19a, 20a in the longitudinal direction X-X respectively identified:
  • the damper device 2 is supported and guided in the hinge 1 so as to allow a reciprocal separation or approach between the above-mentioned opposite head ends 18a, 19a following a greater outflow or a greater retraction of the stem 19 from/in said body 18.
  • the hinge 1 comprises:
  • the above-mentioned longitudinal stop is identified by a portion of the first pin 13 which ensures the connection of the first connecting rod 11 to the hinge arm, or alternatively it can be identified by a component integral with said first pin 13 or directly integral/integral with the hinge arm 4.
  • the above-mentioned lever 31 for actuating the damper device 2 is integral in rotation with the lower connecting rod 12 and, preferably, has a rotation axis coincident or parallel to the said fourth pin 16 which ensures the connection of the lower connecting rod 12 to the hinge arm 4.
  • Figures 9a to 13 show a second embodiment of the hinge 1 according to the invention, whose parts which are structurally and/or functionally corresponding to those of the hinge 1 in accordance with the first embodiment already described will be further described in detail and will be marked with the same reference numbers.
  • the damper device 2 is positioned inside the hinge 1, extended in the axial direction X-X, so that the head end 18a of the body 18 faces the hinge cup 3.
  • the device actuation lever 31 continues to act on the above-mentioned flange 18b of the body 18 to cause the free head end 18a of the body 18 to approach the hinge cup 3 during the above-mentioned last stretch of the closing movement of the hinge 1 while passing from the open hinge configuration to the closed hinge configuration.
  • the longitudinal stop integral with the hinge arm is identified by a transverse pin 40 supported by the opposing longitudinal sides 4b of the hinge arm 4. Said transverse pin 40 is then secured integrally to the stem 19, preferably at its head end 19a.
  • the stem 19 of the damper device 2 is secured in the longitudinal direction X-X with respect to the hinge arm 4, so that, during the above-mentioned last section of the movement of closure of the hinge 1 while passing from the open hinge configuration to the closed hinge configuration, the above-mentioned actuation lever 31 supported integrally in rotation with the lower connecting rod 12 causes longitudinal dragging X-X of the whole body 18 towards the hinge cup 3.
  • the stem 19 is preferably positioned so that its extension in the longitudinal direction X-X is intersecting or tangent to the first pin 13.
  • the above-mentioned damper device 2 comprising the body 18 and the stem 19 is mounted on the edge of a rigid support 33 secured to the hinge arm 4.
  • the above-mentioned rigid support 33 is secured to the hinge arm 4 by means of a fifth pin 34 extended in the transverse direction Y-Y between the opposing longitudinal sides 4b of the hinge arm 4.
  • the above-mentioned rigid support 33 is shaped so as to identify a longitudinal cradle 38 for receiving and sliding guide in the axial longitudinal direction X-X of said body 18.
  • the above-mentioned rigid support 33 comprises a front cross member 35 which extends in the transverse direction Y-Y and is shaped to rest, preferably to embrace the first pin 13, the end of the damper device 2 facing the hinge cup being in contact with the above-mentioned front cross member 35.
  • the above-mentioned rigid support 33 comprises positioning seats 37 for keeping the elastic means 30 in position, so that said rigid support 33, said damper 2 and said elastic means 30 identify a pre-assembled group 36 arranged to be inserted as a unitary component in the assembly of the hinge 1, as can be seen from Figure 7 (an analogous situation is found with the hinge in accordance with Figures 9a to 13 ).
  • the above-mentioned elastic means 30 and the damper device 2 are mounted on the edge of the rigid support 33 which maintains them in the correct mutual positioning for subsequent housing in the hinge.
  • a pre-assembled unit 36 is identified, which is designed to be inserted as a unitary component in the assembly of the hinge 1. Basically, in the assembly of the hinge 1, the pre-assembled group 36 is positioned between the opposing longitudinal sides 4b of the hinge arm 4 before being secured there by inserting the fifth pin 34.
  • the cylinder-piston assembly of the damper device 2 can be of the fluid type (for example with air or oil) or with grease, being possible to use also a cylinder-piston assembly of different types, for example, using an elastically deformable solid element.
  • the cylinder-piston assembly of the damper device 2 comprises second elastic means (not shown) which act on the rod 19 to push it with a predetermined elastic load towards the above-mentioned advanced end stroke position wherein the rod 19 projects more from the body 18 (see Figures 3a , 5 , 6a and 6b ).
  • the above-mentioned predetermined elastic load of these second elastic means is suitable for overcoming the damping/contrast braking action that is generated in the damper device 2 between the rod 19 and the body 18, thus causing the rearming towards the end advanced stroke position of the stem 19 when no part of the hinge acts on it, for example, when the hinge is in the open configuration (see Figure 3a ).
  • the hinge 1 according to the invention is therefore a hinge of the damped type, wherein, during the last stretch of the closing movement of the hinge 1 from the open hinge configuration ( Figures 1, 2 , 3a ) to the closed hinge configuration ( Figure 3c ), the body 18 of the damper device 2 is operated to move towards the free projecting end of the rod 19, thus reaching the above-mentioned rear end stroke position of the rod with respect to the body, and to brake the reciprocal movement approach between the hinge cup 3 and the hinge arm 4.
  • the damper device 2 When using the hinge 1, it was found that, during the last stretch of the closing movement of the hinge, the damper device 2 was able to ensure an effective damping/contrast action capable of slowing down the closing movement of the hinge and the supported door, thus preventing the door from slamming shut.
  • the view 3a shows the open hinge condition.
  • the view 3a shows the open hinge condition. In this configuration:
  • FIG. 3b shows the instant wherein the drive arm 31 comes to act on the flange 18b of the body 18.
  • a further closing movement of the hinge 1 determines a longitudinal translation of the whole body 18 towards the front end 5 of the hinge arm, with consequent greater insertion of the stem (which in this embodiment is stationary) in the body 18 which advances towards the free end.
  • the snap hinge for furniture according to the present invention allows the above requirements to be met, while overcoming the drawbacks referred to in the introductory part of the present description with reference to the known art.
  • the hinge according to the invention allows an excellent damping of the closing movement of the hinge to be achieved while having dimensions and external overall dimensions corresponding to those of a common hinge for furniture without damping, and without penalizing the aesthetic appearance of the hinge due to the presence of the damper device.
  • Another advantage of the hinge for furniture according to the present invention lies in the possibility of being able to contain the length of the hinge arm while retaining the same degrees of adjustment as the previously known hinges.
  • Another advantage of the hinge for furniture according to the present invention lies in the possibility of being able to detach the hinge arm from the securing plate, without the damper device being in the way.
  • the positioning of the damper device is such as to leave the maximum freedom of actuation both of the engagement means and of the above-mentioned hinge centering and adjustment elements.
  • a still further advantage of the hinge for furniture according to the present invention lies in the unusual structural and manufacturing simplicity, as well as in the possibility of using this hinge as a spare part for furniture using standard hinges.
