Description

1 2788807

  The present invention relates to a closure element for

  a gate or a door comprising at least one leaf.

  It will find its application in the field of building and construction of closing elements of all types including doors, gates, windows and shutters. A closing element comprises at least one leaf which is the movable element ensuring the closing. This leaf is

supported by a fixed frame.

  A connection is most commonly made between the frame and the leaf in the form of a hinge comprising on the one hand a hinge and on the other hand a hinge. The hinge and the hinge respectively form a male part and a female part

cooperating to form the pivot.

  The closure elements currently produced and their constituent parts are most often of rudimentary design which are not satisfactory in all applications. We know the following two documents: - European patent EP-0.329.137 which relates to a door or a window, more especially a window or a door completely glazed. Such an element comprises a vertical upright frame in which there is a housing elongated in the vertical direction and accessible by a vertical slot, which is intended for an anchoring part provided with a thread in which is screwed

  a screw passing through a hinge blade.

  - French patent FR-A-2,754,557 which relates to hinge constructions. In order to allow a transverse adjustment with respect to the hinge pin, one of the hinge blades is composed of two superimposed elements which are clamped one against the other element having a relief preventing lateral displacement of the elements relative to one another. at

  the other while these elements are tight.

2 2788807

  Current systems and in particular those presented in

  the two aforementioned documents have different drawbacks.

  Thus, the fixing of the hinges on the leaf is currently carried out by a single face of these elements. It is the same for fixing the hinges on the frame. As a result, there is a low mechanical resistance of the current closure elements, in particular with regard to stresses perpendicular to the plane of the leaf. Significant stresses in this direction can occur especially in the case of installation in strong areas

exposed to the wind.

  Another disadvantage of current systems is that they do not have an adjustment in height of the leaf with respect to the frame. The European patent EP-0.329.137 however presents15 a system allowing it but whose realization is complex in the form of a housing in the leaf or the frame. This set therefore has a high cost price and does not eliminate the play between the hinge and the amount, especially in the phase of

  mounting and adjustment of the closure element.

  In addition, this type of attachment does not support closure elements whose leaves have a

significant weight.

  The present invention is a closure element intended to remedy the drawbacks of the devices

currently in use.

  First, the invention presented here allows a good recovery of the forces to which the closure element is subjected. It has the advantage of achieving a fixation of the

  hinges and door jambs by two of their faces.

  The stresses imposed on the closure element are therefore

  perfectly taken whatever their direction.

3 2788807

  This optimization of the mechanical strength can also be carried out according to the invention in the hinge connection

- sleeping.

  By the method of fixing its constituent elements, the closure element according to the invention can be installed even in heavy and heavy formats and in strong areas

exposed to the wind.

  Another object of the invention is to ensure an adjustment

  practical positioning of the leaves in height.

  The closing element has for this the advantage of comprising slides ensuring a translation without play between hinge and leaf and possibly between hinge and frame at the moment

of their positioning.

  Another object of the invention is to allow the production of closing elements such as gates comprising uprights in the form of profiles and to allow the use of similar profiles to constitute the frame. In this way, the manufacture of the components of the closure element is standardized and the method of fixing the hinges and hinges on the uprights

is harmonized.

  Other goals and advantages will emerge during the

  description which follows which is however only given

indicative title.

  The present invention relates to a closing element such as a gate or a door comprising at least one leaf capable of being mounted on hinges integral with the frame to form the pivot connection. The leaf has an amount substantially parallel to the frame and at least one L-shaped hinge mounting on the hinges, the profile of the amount and the L-shaped hinge cooperating so that the hinge is applied by its two wings on two faces of the upright. forming at least one vertical slide per side, for fixing the adjustable hinge --TT

  and a resumption of effort by the amount following two of its faces. The attached drawings are given as indicative and non-limiting examples. They represent a preferred embodiment according to the invention. They will allow

easily understand the invention.

  Figure 1 illustrates a front view of a hinge and a

  leaf amount according to the invention.

  Figure 2 also shows in front view the assembly of a hinge and the leaf according to one embodiment as well

  a hinge for mounting the leaf on the frame.

  Figures 3 and 4 show, in a section along the lines AA of Figure 1, the mounting of a hinge on a

  amount according to an embodiment of the invention.

  Figure 5 is a sectional view along line BB of the

  Figure 2 of the amount and a hinge secured.

  Figures 6 and 7 show in cross section an amount and a stop piece as well as their cooperation according to

  an embodiment of the invention.

  Figure 8 illustrates the uprights of the two leaves

  contiguous in the closed position and the support of the stop piece.

  The closure element according to the invention may include one or more leaves 2. The leaf or leaves 2 are mounted on hinges 4 integral with the frame 3 as shown in

figure 2.

  According to the invention, the leaf or leaves 2 comprise at least one hinge 6 fixed to an upright 5 of the leaf 2 such

as shown in figure 2.

  The hinge 6 is formed to cooperate with the hinge 4.

  The latter generally having a finger, the hinge 6 has a corresponding bore. In this way, it forms

  a hinge providing the pivot connection.

2788807

  As indicated above, the leaf 2 comprises at least one upright 5. This upright 5 is substantially parallel to the

standing 3 in a vertical direction.

  The invention also includes at least one hinge 6 in L. The hinge ensures mounting on the hinges 4. According to the invention, the profile of the upright 5 and the hinge 6 in L cooperate so that the hinge 6 is applied by its two wings

  7 and 8 on two sides 9 and 10 of the upright 5.

  Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the application of a wing 7 of the hinge 6 on a face 9 of the upright 5 located along the plane of the leaf 2. These two figures also show the application of the second wing 8 of the hinge 6 on the face

  the amount 5 located according to the thickness of the leaf 2.

  According to the invention, the profile of the upright 5 of the hinge 6 cooperates by forming at least one vertical slide 11 and 12

per side.

  Before its final fixing, the hinge 6 is therefore movable in vertical translation relative to the upright 5 by two

sides 9 and 10.

  The number of slides 11, 12 formed per face is not limited. The application of two wings 7, 8 of the hinge 6 on two faces 9, 10 of the upright 5 has the advantage of allowing a recovery of forces not only in the plane of the leaf 2 but also according to its thickness. The mechanical resistance of the fixing thus produced is important and makes it possible to withstand heavy leaves. Wind resistance is also increased. As indicated above, the upright 5 and the hinge 6 are shaped so as to produce a slide 11 and 12 per face 9, 10. Therefore, a relative displacement of the hinge 6 with respect to the upright 5 is achievable with minimized clearance which allows vertical adjustment of the hinge position

very convenient.

6 2788807

  The fixing of the hinge 6 on the upright 5 is finalized by means of embedding on at least one of the faces 9 and 10 of the upright 5. One can for example make embedding means in the form of a screwing 13 illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5. In a particular embodiment, the slide 11 formed on the face 9 of the upright 5 situated in the plane of the leaf 2 is composed of a groove 14 in the upright 5 in which a rail 15 formed on the wing 7 of the hinge 6 applying to said face 9. This embodiment is

illustrated in figure 4.

  As regards the slide 12 formed along the other face 10 of the upright 5, namely the face situated along the thickness of the leaf 2, a particular embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 3. According to this possibility, this slide 12 is composed a groove 16 in the upright 5 and two tabs 17 formed on the wing 8 of the hinge 6

applying to said face 10.

  As shown in Figure 5, each of the tabs 17

  fits on one of the edges of the groove 10.

  According to one embodiment, the wing 8 of the hinge 6 applying to the face 10 of the upright 5 situated along the thickness of the leaf 2 comprises a reinforcement 19. As illustrated in particular in FIG. 4, this reinforcement 19 is median on

  the wing 8 and increases the rigidity of the hinge 6.

  The reinforcement 19 may extend over all or part of the wing 8 but in a preferred embodiment, two intermediate spaces 21 are formed between the reinforcement 19 and the two tongues 17. In this way, any protrusion is authorized on the face 10 of the upright 5 of construction elements such as screw heads. The presence of such elements is indeed possible for fixing other elements constituting the leaf 2 on the amount 5. The realization of spaces

  intermediaries 20 appears in FIGS. 3 to 5.

7 2788807

  The preceding description relates to the realization of the

  clapper 2 according to the invention and the hinge 6 and the amount 5 it presents. The invention however also applies to the production of a frame similar to the construction of the leaf. Thus, the frame 3 may comprise at its carrier element an amount capable of cooperating with the hinges in a similar manner to the cooperation of the amount 5 of the

beating 2 with the hinges 6.

  According to this possibility, the flexibility of height adjustment of the leaf with respect to the frame is further increased and the

  mechanical resistance of the assembly.

  Under the effect of the self-weight of the leaves or of external stresses, the forces transmitted by the leaf 2 to the frame 3 are not identical upwards.

item or down.

  This is why the invention makes it possible to concentrate the attachment points of the leaves 2 on the frames 3 in the most stressed areas. Thus, the same hinge 6 can receive two hinges 4, one oriented downwards by the upper end of the hinge 6, the other oriented upwards by the lower end of the hinge 6. We will use for this make a hinge 6 whose height is at least equal to the

  sum of the heights of the hinge fingers 4.

  In such an embodiment, the hinge 6 is mounted on a hinge 4 before setting up the second hinge 4 by

  the other end of the hinge 6.

  This embodiment therefore requires at least the use of a hinge 4 mountable on the frame 3 after the

  installation of hinge 6 on the first hinge.

  At the other lateral end of the leaf 2, the element of

  closure may also include a second amount 23.

  When the closing element has two leaves, this upright 23 faces the adjacent leaf 25 as shown in FIG. 8. When the closing element

8 2788807

  understands that a leaf 2, this is, in the closed position,

near the opposite frame.

  To allow support in the closed position of the leaf 2 on the other leaf or on the frame, the closure element according to the invention comprises in one embodiment a stop piece 24 in T capable of coming to bear when the leaf 2 is in the closed position, on the adjacent leaf or

on the non-load-bearing frame.

  According to this possibility, the abutment piece 24 has two longitudinal tabs 26 formed on the leg of the T. Each of the tabs adjusts on one of the edges of a groove 27 formed on the face of the second upright 23 located along the leaf thickness 2. This embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 7 also shows the finalization of the connection of the stop piece 24 on the second upright 23 by embedding means 28 such as a screwing by the leg of the T. We can constitute the constituent elements of

  the closure element in different materials.

  Preferably, the uprights used will be made of spun aluminum allowing profiles such as those illustrated on the drawing boards to be obtained. The hinges and, where appropriate, the abutment piece if the invention includes them, may also be made of spun aluminum. The invention is implemented in a very practical manner. Initially, the hinges 6 are applied to the faces 9 and 10 of the uprights 5. Once the slides 11, 10 have been formed, it is possible to adjust the vertical position of the hinges 6 with respect to the upright 5. The connection rising hinge is then finalized by mounting means such as screwing elements

as shown in Figure 5.

  In the case where the hinges and the frame are joined in a similar way, the same operations are repeated for fixing the hinges on the frame 3.X

9 2788807

  This method of attachment allows great flexibility

  vertical adjustment of the leaf 2 with respect to the frame 3.
