Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A hinge for internal surface mounting, characterized in that comprises two pairs of levers crossing each other, and in particular that each lever of the first pair is pivoted together with the corresponding lever of the second pair, and moreover, the two converging ends of the levers which constitute the first pair are articulated each other, as also articulated each other, as also articulated each other are the two converging ends of the levers constituting the second pair, so as to constitute an articulated parallelogram, whereas the other two ends (diverging) of the first pair of levers are articulated the first on the fixed part of the cabinet and the other on the door, and the (diverging) ends of the second pair of levers are articulated each in a sliding way, the first with respect to the fixed part of the cabinet and
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a new hinge, apt to internal surface mounting, which eliminates completely the need of arranging for housing or recesses in the walls destined to receive it, and, this notwithstanding remains invisible and guarantees a full register of the edge of door with the lateral wall of the cabinet, thus ensuring a precise guided closing, a rugged supporting of the door also when the same is particular heavy (doors of refrigerators), and also, when this is sought, a final snap action which ensures the maintainment of the closure, without the use of latches or the like.
  • the hinge according to the invention can be used not only in doors which rotate arounda vertical axis, but also to doors or wings which can be turned over horizontally (secretary bookcases, liqueur furniture), which perform a rotation to go from the closing position down to the horizontal position to operate as a desk or support board.
  • a device comprising two pairs of crossed levers, in which each lever of the first pair is pivoted on the same pivoting point of the corresponding lever of the second pair, and moreover the two converging ends of the two levers which constitute the first pair are articulated each other and the two converging ends of the two levers which constitute the second pair are also articulated each other, forming thus an articulated parallelogram, in which the said last articulation, opposed each other, in the closed position, lie on the bisecting line of the angle between the fixed part the cabinet and the door, whereas the other two (diverging) ends of the first pair of levers are articulated on the fixed part of the cabinet and the door, respectively, and the other (diverging) ends of the second pair of levers are articulated, each in a sliding way, on the fixed part of the cabinet and of the door, respectively.
  • FIG. 1 shows a lateral view of a hinge in the open condition
  • FIG. 2 shows a lateral view of the same hinge in the closed condition
  • FIG. 3 shows the hinge in perspective, and in an intermediate position
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show a secondembodiment of the hinge accordingto the invention, particularly useful for cars or doors which can be turned over horizontally.
  • the hinge according to the invention comprises substantially two pairs of crossing levers, shown in 10-10 and 11-11, respectively, in which the lever 10 of the first pair is pivoted in 12 with the lever 11 of the second pair, and the lever 10 of the first pair is pivoted in 12 with the lever 11' of the second pair; moreover, the two opposed or converging ends of the first pair 10-10 are pivoted together in 13, and the two opposed or converging ends of the second pair 11-11' are articulated together in 13' in order to constitute and articulated quadrilateral having as apexes the articulations 12-12, 13-13, and, finally, the two diverging ends of the first pair 10-10' are articulated the first one in 14 on the fixed part 15 of the cabinet and the other one in 14' on the movable door 16, respectively; whereas the two diverging ends of the second pair of levers 11-11' are articulated the first on the sliding pivot 17 and the other on the sliding pivot 17 of a base 18-18, respectively in order that they can be moved in
  • the bases 18 and 18 constitute a support for the levers and are mounted, respectively, by means of screws 19 and 20 without any need of effecting in the cabinet and in the door any housing, which entails always expenses of manpower or of machinery, and which causes a weakening of the wood walls where the hinges are mounted.
  • the disclosed hinges are mounted on the internal sides and on the surface.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 The hinge of FIGS. 4 and 5 is particularly useful for supporting the board of a cabinet like a secretary bookcase which can be turned over, and which can be closed, as shown in FIG. 5 and is opened as shown in FIG. 4. i
  • hinges of FIGS. 4 and 5 they can be mounted on each side of the board which can be turned over, and the general shaping and mutual relationship of the four levers connected together is such to ensure the horizontality of the workboard or writingboard at the same level of the board internal to the cabinet, and a good stiffness of the cantilevered part without any need of using braces or support compasses.
  • the levers of each pair When used on pieces of furniture of the kind shown as secretary bookcases, the levers of each pair are arranged on two different planes creating a lateral offset in order that they rest each against the other, at the end of the path with their complementary resting surfaces, performing, when in the open condition (FIG. 4), as a rigid beam as if it was solid.
  • the levers l0 and 10 of the first pair show besides the articulation point 13 an extension 22-22 with an arcuated convex outline which match an exactly concave outline of the levers 11-11 constituting an uninterrupted surfaces locked in the open position (FIG. 4).
  • the hinge is identical to the one above described.
  • the central pivot 13' follows a circular path 23 (FIG. 4), which makes it to approach the articulation 14 to bring it exactly on the bisecting line of the angle formed by the internal surfaces of the wall of the cabinet and of the door, a bisecting line on which lies always, in the closed position, also the opposed articulation 13 (see FIG. 5).
  • spring-loaded latching devices which substitutes the usual separated latch.
  • Such spring loaded device may be realized in several forms, for instance with balls protruding from stop housings and being under the action of springs or other known means.
  • the hinge according to the invention shows the noteworthy advantage of allowing, with a simple change of dimensions or shape of the levers which constitute the two pairs, to realize both in the closure and in the opening, the precise alignment of the edge of the door, with the external wall of the cabinet, or the backshift of the door of the converse, without changing the features of the invention.
  • a hinge for doors particularly for cabinets and the like, consisting of two parts; each of said parts comprising a base element, one of said base elements being fastened to the door and the other to the cabinet; a first lever having one end thereof slidably engaged in a slot in a first one of said base elements; a second lever pivotally connected at one end thereof to said base element, and at an intermediate point thereof to anintermediate pointof said first lever, said first lever comprising a pair of parallel spaced plates extending along the sides of said second lever; a third lever having one end pivotally connected to the other end of said first lever and having its other end slidably engaged in a slot in the other of said base elements; a fourth lever pivotally connected at one end thereof to said last-mentioned base element, at an intermediate point thereof to an intermediate point of vsaid third lever, and at its other end to the free end of said second lever, said fourth lever comprising a pair of parallel spaced plates extending along the sides of said third lever.
  • a hinge as claimed in claim 2 said second and fourth levers each having at their pivotally connected ends extending portions, said extending portions being adapted to form in the hinge open position a second abutment with said first and third levers so as to form an essentially rigid beam structure.
