Description

(54) IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO MOUNTING PLATES FOR HINGES (71) We, JULIUS BLUM GESELLSCHAFT m.b.H., Im Städtle 498, A-6973 Höchst, Austria, an AustrianCom- pany, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described, in and by the following statement: The present invention relates to a mounting plate for a hinge, to which a hinge arm or the like can be fixed, whereby said mounting plate can be fixed to a piece of furniture; e.g.
a side-wall of the piece of furniture, by means of fastening screws or the like projecting through fastening holes of the mounting plate, or by means of a dowel mounting plate or the like.
Mounting plates of the above mentioned kind for hinges or rigid connecting members are well-known and are frequently used in modern furniture industry, particularly in the kitchen-furniture industry.
It is the advantage of such mounting plates that they can be fixed to the side-wall of the piece of furniture and that the hinge arm which is fastened to a hinge casing inserted in the furniture door by means of hinge links or the like can be mounted to the mounting plate when finally assembling the piece of furniture.
In the case of suitably constructed hinge arms these mounting plates, moreover, allow subsequent adjustment and positioning of the hinge arm, whereby tolerances can be adjusted which may be caused when drilling fastening holes for the mounting plate, or when mounting the mounting plate. In the case of modern hinges, devices and possibilities of adjustment are generally used for an adjustment in the depth of the piece of furniture and in the door joint.
It is an object of the present invention to produce a mounting plate of the above mentioned kind which allows an adjustment in the height of the piece of furniture in addition to the above mentioned kinds of adjustment.
The same mounting plate naturally also allows an adjustment in the depth of the piece of furniture if said mounting plate is turned by 90 before being mounted.
In general, depth adjustment can be effected in the hinge arm itself, e.g. by means of a longitudinal slot for the fastening screw, so that the height-adjustment provided by the mounting plate is an additional adjustment.
Experience has shown that not all hinges have to be adjusted in all directions after being mounted, but that, in many cases, the fastening holes for the mounting plate have been accurately drilled and consequently the mounting plate does not require further adjustment in some directions.
Thus, if it is necessary to adjust the mounting plate in the height of the piece of furniture, for example, even if the fastening holes have been drilled accurately, providing several degrees of adjustment can result in additional work in many cases. On the other hand, the possibility of adjustment should be allowed for if required.
According to the invention, there is provided a mounting plate for a hinge, the mounting plate being fixable to a piece of furniture by means of fastening screws or the like projecting through fastening holes of said mounting plate, or by means of a dowel mounting plate or the like, characterized in that, on the head end, every fastening screw has a portion of reduced diameter, whereby the length of this narrower portion is at least equal to the height of said fastening holes or one of said fastening holes, and in that the diameter of the broader portion of said fastening screws is equal or almost equal to the diameter of said fastening holes or of an enlarged portion of said fastening holes.
Preferably, the fastening holes are longitudinal slots which have on their side-walls recesses having a shape similar to circlesegments and which correspond to the larger diameter portion of the fastening screw.
If the fastening screws have been turned beyond their wider diameter out of the mounting plate and into the side-wall of the piece of furniture this embodiment provides a certain guidance for the mounting plate after being shifted from the position on the surface of the tapered portion on the head end of the fastening screws.
A preferred embodiment provides that the fastening screws have a pin portion on their free ends. If the holes drilled into the side-wall of the piece of furniture have the same diameter as the pin portions, the fastening screws can be kept in position within the holes by the pin portions, whereby the mounting plate rests against their broadest portion, so that any need for an adjustment or shifting of the mounting plate becomes evident at this point already. If the fastening screws are screwed into the side-wall of the piece of furniture, their thread cuts into the wall of the hole.
Before finally fastening the screws, the pin portions and thus the fastening screws are more safely secured to the side-wall of the piece of furniture by providing the pin portions with threads.
A further embodiment provides that the recesses have threaded portions corresponding to the thread of the broader part of the fastening screws.
In this embodiment the mounting plate is most safely secured before final fastening.
The invention will be further described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 shows a top view of a hinge with a mounting plate constituting a preferred embodiment of the invention in the direction of the side-wall of the piece of furniture, whereby the hinge links connecting the hinge casing and the hinge arm are not illustrated and whereby the hinge is closed; Figures 2 to 4, respectively, show a section along line I-I of Fig. 1, i.e. the mounting plate when being inserted (a) and after being secured (b); and Fig. 5 shows a diagram of a mounting plate constituting a preferred embodiment of the invention.
As can be seen in the Figures of the drawings, a hinge arm 2 which is kept in position by a fixing screw 3 and supported by an adjusting screw 4 is mounted on the mounting plate 1 when in assembled position. The hinge arm 2 is connected with a hinge casing 5 which is inserted into the door 6 by means of hinge links not being illustrated.
The mounting plate 1 is secured to the side-wall 8 of the piece of furniture by means of fastening screws 7. The fastening screws 7 are stepped in the portion adjacent to their head 9, so that a narrower portion 10 is formed. Adjacent to said narrower portion 10 lies a broader portion 13 whose diameter d corresponds to the diameter D of an enlarged portion of fastening holes 11.
According to the embodiments, the fastening holes 11 are extended at 11 ' to form longitudinal slots which have on their sidewalls recesses 12 having a shape similar to a circle-segment. Said recesses 12 lying opposite to each other form the enlarged portion of the fastening holes 1] .
The recesses 12 have threaded portions corresponding to the thread of the broader bolt portion 13. The fastening screws 7 can, therefore, be screwed into the enlarged portion of the fastening holes 11, whereby they are put into the position as illustrated in Figures 2a, 3a and 4a.
In this position the mounting plate 1 can be mounted on the side-wall 8 of the piece of furniture and provisionally be secured within the holes 15 of the side-wall 8 of the piece of furniture by means of the free ends 7 ' of the fastening screws 7.
It is of advantage if, as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, the fastening screws 7 have pins 14 whose diameter is equal to the diameter of the holes 15 drilled into the side-wall 8. The pins 14 can be with (Fig. 3) or without (Fig. 2) thread. Equally, the holes 15 canbedriled into the slde-wall of the piece of furniture, the holes having (Fig.
2) or not having (Fig. 3) continuously the same diameter as the pin 14. The latter is of particular advantage if the pins 14 have a thread.
Fig. 4 illustrates an embodiment in which the mounting plate 1 rests on a dowel mounting plate 16. Said dowel mounting plate 16 whose dowel pins 16' project into the holes 15 of the side-wall 8 of the piece of furniture engage with the broader portion 13 of the fastening screws 7.
Assembly of the mounting plate 1 is carried out as follows: The fastening screws 7 are screwed into the mounting plate 1 until they are positioned as illustrated in Figures 2a, 3a, and 4a (according to the embodiment in Fig.
4 the dowel mounting plate 16 can, as illustrated, be mounted on the mounting plate 1 or on the side-wall 8 of the piece of furniture).
As already described, the tips of the fastening screws 7 of the mounting plate 1 are subsequently inserted into the holes 15 of the side-wall 8 of the piece of furniture.
When the mounting plate is in correct position, the fastening screws 7 are fastened one after the other to such an extent that the head of the fastening screw 7 rests closely to the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 is thus kept in position (Figures 2b, b,4b).
If, however, the mounting plate 1 has to be shifted into correct position the fastening screws 7 are only screwed into the side-wall 8 of the piece of furniture to such an extent that the broader portion 13 is positioned below the mounting surface 17 of the mounting plate 1 and that their head 9 does not yet lock the mounting plate 1 in its position. Only the narrower portion 10 of the fastening screws 7 is within the fastening hole 11 so that the mounting plate 1 can be shifted over the length l of the fastening holes 11. When adjustment has been effected, the fastening screws 7 are fastened and by means of their heads 9 they lock the mounting plate 1 in position.
Further parts of the hinge, such as hinge casing 5, hinge links and devices for adjusting the hinge arm on the mounting plate are not described in more detail as they are not the object of the present invention.
