Abstract

The invention relates to a hinged support system for doors with limited space. According to the invention, a solid intermediate element is inserted betweena standard door and the frame or surface to be covered and said solid element canmove in an angular manner around a stationary shaft that is mounted on the frame,the wall or any other door-supporting surface. The opposite end of the solidelement is equipped with a door pivot pin corresponding to the axis of symmetryof the door. In addition, a horizontal knob is located in the axis of rotationof the door and on one of the faces thereof, in order to enable the user to force themovement of the assembly and to move in parallel to the surface of the door suchas to enter or exit through same without any difficulty.

Description

ARTICULATED BEARING SYSTEM FOR DOORS WITH LIMITATION OF SPACE.

Field of Invention Specifically, the present description refers to a double-turn joint for doors or mobile surfaces composed of two parallel axes of rotation displaced a distance equal to half the surface to be covered. Thus, the articulation object of the present invention is carried out by means of four hinges that add, in the doors in which a second axis of rotation is installed parallel to the first one although displaced a certain distance from the frame. This invention has its field of application in the door manufacturing industry.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Reviewing the state of the art in the matter, several solutions have been provided over the time in the design, manufacture and assembly of doors when there are limitations of spaces in the site where they will be installed, for example, Two-leaf or accordion doors. There are many applications in which the spaces available to accommodate a door are very limited. Thus, the "articulated bearing system for doors with space limitation" provides the following advantages with regard to the state of the art: • It is possible to install it in small enclosures or of reduced space without the need to divide the door when occupying half of its width . • You can incorporate all the design you want. • It is easy to clean by not containing hidden corners. • It complies with all accessibility regulations and • It can be adapted very well to people with disabilities.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Thus, the articulated support system for doors with space limitation is carried out by inserting between a conventional door and the frame or surface to cover an intermediate solid provided with angular displacement about an axis at rest located in the frame , wall or any surface that supports the door and that, at its other end contains the axis of rotation of the door located, now, on the axis of symmetry thereof, and also having a displacement correction of unevenness or collapse. Thus, the solid or articulated arm described from its resting position moves inwards 90 ° and outwards 90 °, a total of 180 °, and introduces a new movement by moving angularly over its resting end, while the door in any position of the intermediate hinge or solid can rotate up to 180 ° on its axis of symmetry around it. The present invention can also incorporate several systems such as closures, stops, knobs, fallebas, alignment systems and guides, according to the installation needs. In order to present an embodiment of the invention of "articulated support system for doors with limited space" are shown below some figures in which the embodiment of the described invention is represented in a practical way, on a shower screen frequently used in bathrooms.

Brief Description of the Figures > Figure (1): "Jointed support system for doors with limited space" applied on a shower screen. > Figure (2): "Jointed support system for doors with limited space" applied on a shower screen according to the rear view. > Figure (3): Scheme of movements of "Jointed bearing system for doors with limited space". In these figures, the numbered elements are listed below: (1): Two articulated arms at their ends. (2): Rigid joint between the two arms. (3): Spindle on the wall at rest. (4): Turn axis of the screen. (5): Screen. (6): Element bar handle or knob for the manipulation of the screen.

Detailed Description of the Invention In view of the figures, it can be observed, as a preferred embodiment of the invention object of the present document, an "articulated support system for doors with limited space" applied on a shower screen consisting of two arms ( 1) joined by a rigid element (2) and provided with angular displacement through the necessary elements, as alignment elements at rest, around the axis of rotation (3) located on the fixed wall, while the ends of the arms (1) farthest from the fixed wall constitute the axis of rotation (4) on which the partition (5) is shifted around its axis of symmetry. As shown in Figure 3 by the horizontal knob (6) located perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the screen (4) and on one side thereof, the user can force the movement of the screen (5) and move parallel to the surface of the same, to enter or exit without any difficulty. It is not considered necessary to make this description more extensive so that any expert in the field understands the scope of the invention and the advantages derived therefrom. The materials, shape, size, number and disposition of the elements that are described will be susceptible of variation as long as it does not suppose an alteration in the essence of the invention.

Claims

CLAIMS 1.- Jointed support system for doors with space limitation characterized by being constituted by an intermediate solid (1 and 2) that makes the connection between the door (5) and the frame or wall, provided with angular displacement around an axis at rest (3) located in the frame of the door (5) or surface of the wall and that at the end furthest from the axis at rest (3) contains the axis of rotation of the door (4) coinciding with the axis of symmetry of it.
2.- Jointed support system for doors with space limitation according to claim 1, characterized in that the door (5) on which it is installed has to incorporate a horizontal knob (6) located on the door's own axis of rotation (4) and on one of its faces, which allows the user to force the movement of the assembly (1, 2 and 5) and move parallel to the surface of the door (5) to enter or exit without any difficulty.
3.- Jointed support system for doors with space limitation according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that they can alternatively be mounted in an analogous manner on double-leaf doors. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention consists of an articulated support system for doors with space limitation, which is carried out by inserting, between a conventional door and the frame or surface to be covered, an intermediate solid provided with angular displacement about an axis at rest located in the frame, wall or any surface that supports the door and that, at its other end contains the axis of rotation of the door located on the axis of symmetry thereof, incorporating a horizontal knob on the axis of rotation of the door and on one of its faces, which allows the user to force the movement of the assembly and move parallel to the surface of the door to enter or exit without any difficulty.
