TEMPLATE FOR FASTENING GONDS OF SHUTTERS ON A WALL

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the technical sector templates for fastening hinges of shutters of windows, doors and other closures on a wall, of the type fitting on a shutter hinge, or other closures, with a vertical through-hole. on this hinge and receiving the hinge.

PRIOR ART

It is known in the state of the art to use templates to fix on a wall a hinge of window shutters, doors and other closures.

These templates are generally made of two parts, such as that disclosed by French Patent No. FR 2,713,970.

Referring to Figure 1, it is in fact disclosed in this document a template for fixing hinges of window shutters, doors and other closures, of the type comprising a member (11) constituting the base of the template, being of cylindrical shape with a transverse opening for the passage and guidance of a tool.

According to this document, the template is made up of two independent elements (11-12) arranged to cooperate and fit on the looped loop forming a hinge of flaps or other closures. The lower element (11) constitutes the base of the jig and has a cylindrical body (11.1) with a transverse opening (11.2) and an overhanging collar (11.3). Said flange (11.3) is likely to serve as support and adjustment on the hinge node. The element (11) also having an internal thread (11.4) in alignment with the axial plane of said body (11.1). The upper element (12) comprises a clamping head (12.1) extended at its lower part with a tubular body (12.3) of smaller diameter having at the end a threaded shaft (12.4) penetrating into said tapping (11.4) for adjustment.

The flange (11.3) made in the element (11) serves as support and adjustment 35 for positioning the transverse opening of the element (11) at a distance from the hinge 2 corresponding to the distance at which it drill on the wall to fix the hinge.

Thus, the lower element (11) and the upper element (12) are screwed together and produce a kind of jaw trapping the hinge portion for receiving the hinge. Then it is to pierce the wall, using a suitable tool, through the transverse opening of the element (11).

The hole thus made in the wall allows the attachment to the appropriate distance of the shutter hinge for example.

Such templates are bulky and have a significant manufacturing cost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One of the problems that the present invention attempts to solve is that of making available to non-professionals a device, in particular a template, that is simple and inexpensive, making it possible to drill a wall, for fixing a hinge intended for 20 cooperate with a flap hinge or other closures.

The Applicant has also studied the problem of facilitating the insertion of the template and its handling in hand to thus bring more comfort to its use.

To solve the aforementioned problems, a new template has been developed for fixing hinges of window shutters, doors and other closures on a wall, of the type fitting on a shutter hinge, or other closures, to vertical through hole established on this hinge and receiving the hinge. According to the invention, the template is constituted by a single piece integral and flat, with a first part intended to engage in the vertical through hole 30 of the hinge of the flap receiving the hinge, a second lower part in the extension of the first, and wider than this, so as to act as a stop, and a third gripping portion, said second portion comprising a through hole and being shaped to abut a given distance giving the through hole a first function consisting of to allow drilling of the wall through it.

In this way, to fix a flap hinge on a wall, simply insert the first part of the template, to the stop, in the part of the hinge intended to receive the hinge, to hold said template by the third gripping part and drill the wall with a drill for example, through the through hole arranged on the second part. Then just remove the template, insert the hinge instead and fix it to the wall using a suitable fastening such as a screw or other.

Advantageously, the third gripping portion is shaped to allow holding the template in one hand while giving the through hole a second function of ensuring the positioning of said template by the insertion of a finger in said through hole.

This feature makes it possible to improve the comfort of use of the template and makes it easier to insert and position said template.

According to a first embodiment, in the jig according to the invention, the third gripping portion is made in the lower extension of the second portion. According to a second embodiment, in the jig according to the invention, the third gripping portion is made in the upper extension of the first part.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to Figures 2 to 3, the template (1) for fixing on a wall hinges of 15 shutters of windows, doors and other closures, of the type fitting on a hinge (P) flap, or other closures, vertical through-hole (T) established on the hinge (P) and receiving the hinge, is constituted according to the invention, by a single piece and flat piece (2).

This single piece and flat piece (2) comprises three parts. A first portion (3) for engaging in the vertical through hole (T) of the hinge (P) of the flap receiving the hinge. A second lower portion (4) in the extension of the first, and wider than the latter, so as to act as a stop. And a third part of grasping (5). The second portion (4) includes a through-hole (6) and is shaped to abut a given distance to give the through hole (6) a first function of allowing the wall to be pierced therethrough.

The third gripping portion (5) is shaped to hold the jig (1) in one hand while giving the through hole (6) a second function of positioning said jig (1) by the insertion of the jig (1). a finger in said through hole (6).

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in the jig (1), the first portion (3) is of rectangular parallelepiped shape, of fine thickness, of length equal to the length of the vertical through hole (T) established on the hinge (P) for receiving the hinge, and is of width substantially less than the diameter of said hole (T).

The second part (4) is of the same shape as the first part (3) and is in the lower extension thereof. This second part (4) has the same thickness as the first part (3) but comprises a substantially greater width in order to be able to make a stop during the engagement of the first part (3) in the hole (T) of the hinge (P). This second part comprises on its face of larger area, a through hole (6). This through hole (6) allows the guide of a drilling tool and thus allows to drill the wall for fixing a hinge, through said hole (6). In this way, the hole (6) is arranged at a fixed and standard distance from the stop to allow proper attachment of the hinge. Likewise, the diameter of the hole (6) corresponds to the diameter of the hole present on the hinge for its attachment to the wall.

Finally, the third gripping portion (5) is made according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in the lower left or right continuation of the second part. This third part (5) is ergonomically shaped for handling by the user, including oblong. It holds the template in the hand and is long enough to allow the user to insert a finger in the hole (6), while maintaining the gripping portion (5), during the insertion of the first part (3) in the hole (T) of the hinge. In this way the insertion and guiding of the template (1) is facilitated.

Thus, during use, the user maintains the template (1) as mentioned above, by the gripping portion (5) and with a finger in the hole (6) of said template. It then engages the first part (3) in the hole (T) of the hinge (P) of a flap, for example, to the stop, removes its finger from the hole (6) and continues to hold the gripping part (5). This operation is performed with the hinge (P) mounted on the shutter or other closures, and pressed against the wall to allow the drilling thereof for fixing the hinge. The user is then provided with a tool of drilling such as a drill for example and pierces the wall by means of the tool and through the hole (6) of said template (1). The hole thus made is at the appropriate distance for fixing the hinge on the wall. The user finally removes the template (1) and fixes the hinge using a suitable fastening means such as a screw or other.

It can also be designed, that the gripping portion (5) is not in the extension of the second part (4), but in the upper extension of the first part (3). In this case the first part (3) would overflow the hole (T) of the hinge (P) and this overflowing material would constitute said third gripping portion.

As is apparent from the foregoing, the invention provides a template (1) for fixing to a wall hinges of window shutters, doors and other closures, of the type fitting on a hinge (P) flap, or other closures, vertical through hole (T) established on the hinge (P) and receiving the hinge, having a simplified use and made in one piece. The invention provides in particular a template (1) simple, not very complex to the realization and whose insertion into the hole (T) of the hinge (P) is facilitated as well as holding in hand. The template (1) gives complete satisfaction to its user.

It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but that it extends to all embodiments covered by the appended claims.
