Definitions

  • the invention relates to a window or door with hinge leaf with associated accessory with adjustable thickness for the lateral adjustment of the window or door.
  • hinges which as known, are formed by two hinge leaves with which the hinge is fastened to the leaf and the fixed frame, whereby the hinge parts are hingeably connected together by means of a hinge pin.
  • the lateral position of the leaf in the fixed frame can be adjusted to be able to easily open and close the door or window without snaring and to be able to easily operate the closing mechanism without pinching.
  • This accessory of the known type is composed of two plate-shaped parts that are affixed against one another by one side and which are each provided on this side with a wedge-shaped relief with wedge-shaped elements that are such that when both parts with their wedge-shaped teeth are moved with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction of the teeth, the plate-shaped parts move apart so to speak, such that the thickness of the accessory can be adjusted.
  • the thickness of the accessory is adjustable between a minimum thickness whereby the wedge-shaped teeth interlock maximally, for example over the entire height or depth of the teeth, and a maximum thickness whereby the teeth interlock less deeply.
  • the facing contact sides of the hinge leaf and of the accessory are flat to allow them to be shifted relative to each other for lateral adjustment.
  • the minimum total thickness taken up by the hinge leaf together with the accessory in mounted condition in the rebate between the fixed frame and the leaf of the window equals the sum of the thickness of the hinge leaf and the aforementioned minimum thickness of the accessory.
  • the less the available depth of the rebate for a given adjustment distance the less the minimum total thickness and thus the less the thickness of the hinge leaf and/or of the accessory and thus the weaker the hinge and the ensuing permitted maximum load of the hinge, for example due to the weight of the leaf of the window.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to offer a solution for one or more of the aforementioned and other disadvantages and problems.
  • the invention relates to a hinge for a window or door with a hinge leaf with associated accessory intended to be mounted between the hinge leaf and a profile of the window or door on which the hinge leaf is fastened, whereby the thickness of the accessory is adjustable for the lateral adjustment of the window or the door, said accessory being composed of two essentially plate-shaped parts, respectively a first part which in mounted condition is in contact with the hinge leaf and a second part, said parts which in use being affixed against one another by one side and being provided on said sides with interlocking complementary toothings which are such that when both parts are slid in a sliding direction longitudinally along the toothings in one or another direction relative to each other, the thickness of the accessory increases or decreases in a direction perpendicular to the hinge leaf, characterised in that in the mounted condition of the hinge with the accessory between the hinge leaf and the profile, the hinge leaf and the plate-shaped first part of the accessory in contact therewith are provided on the facing sides with protrusions and complementary recesses with which they interlock, where
  • the hinge leaf and the accessory interlocking causes according to the invention the minimum total thickness of the hinge leaf together with the accessory in mounted condition to be less than in the known hinges which in mounted condition are mounted against one another by a flat side.
  • an accessory can be applied with a greater adjustment range.
  • the freed up space can of course also be used in favour of a stronger hinge leaf together with a greater adjustment range.
  • the protrusions and recesses are formed as ribs and grooves which extend breadthways perpendicular to the sliding direction of the accessory and preferably over the full width of the hinge leaf and of the accessory.
  • the protrusions and recesses interlock fittingly without play or with only a limited play in the sliding direction, such that the hinge leaf and the first part of the accessory cannot unintentionally shift relative to each other during the lateral adjustment of the position and relative to the leaf of the fixed frame of the window.
  • the recesses in the first part of the accessory are provided within the thickness of the teeth of the toothing of the first part.
  • Figure 1 shows a section of a window 1 containing a profile 2 of the fixed frame of the window 1 and a profile 3 of the leaf of the window 1, said profiles 2 and 3 being hingedly connected by means of a hinge 4 that is composed of two hinge leaves 6 and 7 that are connected together by means of a hinge pin 8 on the level of a knuckle 5 of the hinge.
  • the hinge 4 is fastened on the profiles 2 and 3 by means of screws 9 which are screwed through passages in the screw leaves 7 and 8 in the aforementioned profiles 2 and 3.
  • the window is of the type whereby the knuckle 5 with the hinge pin 8 of the hinges 4 is visible on the outside of the window 1 and the fastening of the hinge leaves 6 and 7 to the profiles 2 and 3 in a closed window 1 is hidden in the rebate 10 or enclosed space between the profile 2 of the fixed frame and the profile 3 of the leaf.
  • the hinge leaf 7 is provided with a recess for the second hinge leaf 6 in the closed condition of the hinge 4.
  • the hinge 4 contains an essentially plate-shaped accessory 11 of the known type which in this case is mounted between the hinge leaf 6 and the profile 3.
  • the known accessory 11 is composed of two essentially plate-shaped parts 11a and 11b, respectively a first part 11a which in mounted condition is in contact with the hinge leaf 6 and a second part 11b with which the accessory 11 is affixed against the profile 3.
  • the two parts 11a and 11b are affixed against one another by one side, whereby said sides are provided with interlocking complementary wedge-shaped toothings, respectively 11c and 11d that are such that when both parts 11a and 11 are slid in a sliding direction longitudinally (X-X') along the toothings in one or another direction relative to each other, the adjustable thickness D of the accessory 11 increases or decreases in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the hinge leaf 6 or in other words perpendicular to the flat underside of the accessory 11.
  • the accessory is oriented such that the sliding direction X-X' is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the profiles 2 and 3 and consequently also parallel to the shaft of the hinge pin 8.
  • Figure 4 shows a situation in which the toothings of the two parts 11a and 11b of the accessory 11 interlock maximally, which results in a minimum thickness Dmin of the accessory 11, whereas in the situation of figure 3 the parts 11a and 11b are slid maximally in the sliding direction X-X' relative to each other, which results in a maximum thickness Dmax of the accessory 11 whereby the toothings 11c and 11d of both parts must still sufficiently overlap in the sliding direction X-X' to have a sufficient support surface between the two.
  • the minimum thickness Dmin of the accessory 11 is chiefly determined in the case of the figures by the height or thickness of the toothing 11c and 11d measured in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the underside of the accessory 11.
  • the maximum total thickness Emax of the hinge leaf 6 and the accessory 11 is limited by the available space 10 between the profile 2 of the fixed frame and the profile 3 of the leaf, more specifically the available distance A between the profiles 2 and 3, such that in the design with the known applications of the figures 2 to 4 a choice needs to be made between:
  • the invention is intended to create more space in favour of a greater adjustment range ⁇ D and/or of a greater thickness F of the hinge leaf 6.
  • the ribs 12 and grooves 13 extend breadthways in a direction Y-Y' perpendicular to the sliding direction X-X' of the accessory 11 along the breadth of the hinge leaf 6 and the accessory 11.
  • the ribs 12 have a thickness corresponding with the thickness K of the overlapping section between hinge leaf 6 and accessory 11 and a breadth B practically corresponding with the breadth of the grooves 13.
  • the grooves 13 in the accessory 11 are provided in the material of the teeth of the toothing 11c of the first part 11a of the accessory, more specifically within the thickness or height of said toothing 11c, whereby preferably a groove 13 is provided in every tooth of the toothing 11c.
  • the thickness of the toothings 11c and 11d of both plate-shaped parts 11a and 11b is approximately equal to the thickness of each separate part and preferably approximately equal to the minimum thickness Dmin of the accessory 11.
  • the protrusions 12 in the form of ribs in figure 6 create a bulge and thus a strengthening of the hinge leaf 6, at least to the extent that the protrusions create an extra thickness K relative to the hinge leaf 6 of figure 4 without protrusions.
  • the recesses 13 in the accessory 11 create a weakening of the accessory 11 in the case of an unchanged thickness Dmin, but in combination with the strengthened hinge leaf 11 sufficient support is still obtained.
  • the invention still offers the advantage of a strengthened hinge 4.
  • Figure 8 shows an alternative embodiment whereby in this case the minimum total thickness Emin of the hinge leaf 6 and the accessory together is the same as that of figure 4 , but this time in combination with an accessory 11 with a greater minimum thickness Dmin and with a greater adjustment range ⁇ D, this slightly at the expense of the strength of the hinge leaf 11 because in this case the protrusions 12 are obtained by a locally reduced thickness of the hinge leaf 6 relative to figure 4 .
  • a guide which is not shown in the figures, is provided in the sliding direction X-X' of the accessory 11, said guide being provided on the level of the hinge 4 or of the accessory 11 or of the profile 2.
  • the accessory 11 can be provided with several complementary toothings 11c and 11d which extend breadthways of the accessory 11 next to each other in the sliding direction X-X' and which are slid lengthways X-X' relative to each other over a distance that is less than the pitch of the toothings 11c, 11d, such that an aforementioned guide can be realised on the level of the accessory 11 itself.
  • hinge leaf 6 and the accessory 11 can be provided with passages for the aforementioned screws 9 in the form of slotted holes to allow a mutual shift of the parts 11a and 11b of the accessory 11 relative to each other during the lateral adjustment of the leaf.
  • protrusions 12 and recesses 13 do not necessarily have to be executed as ribs and grooves but can have any interlocking forms.
  • the accessory can also be mounted on the profile 2 of the fixed frame instead of on the profile 3 of the leaf.
