Definitions

  • hinges may be free, or provided with a generally spring device urging them to either or both of the extreme closed and open positions.
  • bistable devices except for an intermediate dead point, always urging the door on which they are applied to the nearest of its extreme closed and open positions; and (b) monostable devices, urging the door to only one of said two extreme positions, generally to the closed position, while at least for some length leaving the door free to the opposite position.
  • the devices both of the bistable and monostable character, operating with a high advance with respect to the extreme position to which the door is urged thereby, while ensuring in many cases an effective closure or opening, have the common defect of imparting an increasing acceleration to the door, so that, on stopping, the attained speed and still more the kninetic energy will cause a violent shock with the dual drawback of producing a troublesome banging noise and subjecting the hinges and structures connected thereto to an unnecessary fatigue capable in the time of damaging the components.
  • Devices are also known capable of appreciably reducing, but not completely avoiding this defect, in that the device operates at a location relatively closer to the position to which the door is to be urged thereby.
  • a further adverse aspect in all of prior devices is in the large number of the members comprising the same and additional to the proper hinge, these members, in addition to one or more springs and tongues, consisting of cams or other lugs projecting from at least one of the elements comprising the linkage, also of spring guide stems, or capsules for containing the springs, arms transmitting the involved forces, staples connecting the stems or capsules, rollers or balls interposed between the moving elements, cross walls or pins for securing the devices to the hinge elements, auxiliary swinging staples with associated pivotings and so on.
  • the plurality of the device components will involve conjunctively a high cost for the device, due both to the manufacture of many pieces and subsequent assembling thereof, a higher casual variability in the achievable results and a higher likelihood in failures or breakages.
  • a further adverse aspect relating to the large number and variety in the components of these devices is that the latter would be bulky, would require substantially sized and often confined shapes of members for accomodating hinge elements, in addition to economy this being also at the expense of the aesthetical requirements of the hinges.
  • the device according to the invention apt to hold a concealed hinge shut and providing the kinematic scheme for an articulated quadrilateral, two opposite sides of which are the fixed and movable members of the hinge, and the other two sides of which are two equalizers connecting the same, is characterized by comprising a V-shaped spring having at its apex an eyelet, by which it is secured to one of the four pins of the hinge link and interacts with that of the two equalizers, the pins of which do not carry the spring.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view showing a closed hinge provided with the closing device according to the invention and comprising a V-shaped spring made of a metal strap, cooperating with a lug projecting from a block fast with the equalizer on which the spring operates;
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1, but at an open position;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view for the hinge shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, at an open position and the device shown in phantom;
  • FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view showing an open hinge having a modified closing device according to the invention; wherein the V-shaped spring is a wire spring;
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view for the hinge shown in FIG. 4, at an open position and the device shown in phantom;
  • FIG. 6 is an axonometrical view of the V-shaped spring made of a metal strap
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 are axonometrical views showing two equalizers wherein one of the knots is bifurcated for accomodating the V-shaped spring;
  • FIG. 9 is an axonometrical view showing a block suitable to be fitted within a proper housing in an equalizer
  • FIG. 10 is an axonometrical view showing a wire spring having an intermediate helical coil
  • FIG. 11 is a side, partly sectional view showing an equalizer provided with a tongue integrally made from its body and forming a lever arm with respect to the equalizer;
  • FIG. 12 is an axonometrical view of the equalizer in FIG. 11;
  • FIG. 13 is a partly sectional view showing a closed hinge provided with a device suitable to hold it closed and comprising an equalizer such as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 12;
  • FIG. 14 is a view similar to that in FIG. 13, the hinge being at an open position
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 are axonometrical views showing two embodiments for V-shaped metal strap flexure springs having an eyelet at the apex;
  • FIGS. 17 and 18 are axonometrical views showing two embodiments for V-shaped wire flexure springs having an eyelet at the apex;
  • FIG. 19 is a partly sectional view showing the closed hinge in FIG. 13, having a closing device comprising a spring with a curved side, such as those in FIGS. 15 and 18;
  • FIG. 20 is a side view showing the same hinge as in FIG. 19 at an open position
  • FIGS. 21, 22 and 23 are three orthogonally projected views, the first two of which are sectional views according to a plane of symmetry of the member, for a slide to be interposed between the spring and equalizer for the closing hinge device;
  • FIG. 24 is an axonometrical view showing the slide in FIGS. 21-23;
  • FIG. 25 is a partly sectional view showing a closed hinge similar to that in FIG. 13, but having the closing device comprising a slide as that shown in FIGS. 21-24; and
  • FIG. 26 is a view showing the hinge in FIG. 25, provided with the same device, but shown at its open position.
  • Such a hinge comprises a fixed element 1 (FIGS. 1,2,3, 4,5; 13,14; 19,20;25,26) directly secured through a base plate 21 to a fixed carrier structure 21, such as the side wall of a cabinet, by screws 22 or finned bushings 23.
  • This fixed element 1 is fast with two pivoting pins a and d, about which two equalizers and 4 can swing, each of which by one of the curlings thereof A and D comprising one of the knots.
  • Each of said equalizers, 30 and 4 respectively, have another knot B and C pivoting about its corresponding knot of the two pins b and c fast with a movable element 26 of the hinge.
  • this movable element 26 is of a substantially cylindrical shape, suitable to be accomodated within a cavity of a similar shape and formed in turn in a movable structure 25, such as a door, cabinet door or flap door, which in the examples shown in said figures is generally of the external rabbet type with respect to the fixed structure 24.
  • the movable element26 of the hinge can be secured by simple pressure to the rabbet, .as it is peripherally provided with a thread 27 (FIGS. l,2,4,19 and 20), generally of the saw tooth and double-thread type, or screws passing through the flange 28, generally provided in such a body.
  • the element 1 and structure 24 will be related to as stationary, and the element 26 and structure 25 as movable, while it being understood that the function-s thereof can be interchanged, without any alterations in the structure and functions of the closing devices to be described.
  • the device a V-shaped flexure spring having at its apex an eyelet for securing it to one of the hinge pivoting pins.
  • the equalizer pivoting on the pin on which said spring is carried, has a bifurcation at that extreme knot swinging about said pin, so as to accomodate the eyelet of said spring between the two coaxial portions said bifurcation is divided in.
  • the other equalizer, interacting with the spring has at one of its two extreme knots a lug or projection terminating with a very sharp corner for interacting with the spring and forming an arm for a lever, the other arm of which is said equalizer.
  • the members of the closing device are so arranged to one another and all to the remaining structure of the hinge that:
  • the force said bent spring transmits to the equalizer on which it operates is shifted relative to the axis of the pin about which said equalizer swings, so as to provide a torque biasing the hinge to remain at a closed position; in order to open the hinge, it is required to exert (by acting on the door pivoting at said hinge) a sufficient external force to overcome such a closing torque, further compressing the spring;
  • the closing device is so compact that it can be inserted in a given linked hinge without any need of having particularly bulky means for accomodating it.
  • a metal strap flexure spring 5 (FIG. 6) is V-shape bent, at its apex having an eyelet 6 from which two free straight spread apart sides 7 and 7' extend; the eyelet 6 is formed so as to be threaded on one of the pivoting pins for the hinge, such as pin d.
  • the equalizer 4 (FIG. 7) provided with knots or loops C and D has one of said two knots or loops, such as knot or loop D, characterized by a bifurcation 8 dividing it in two coaxial sections 9 and 9', between which a spring, such as spring 5, can be freely accomodated.
  • the equalizer 3 (FIG. 8) provided with knots or loops A and B is characterized by having at one of said knots or loops thereof, such as knot or loop A, a cavity 15, in which a special block to be discussed about hereinafter can be secured; said cavity 15 is completed by a mortice 16 in which a suitable joint tooth is seated; adjacent said knot or loop A there are also provided two small coaxial holes 17 and 17, in which a small pin can be inserted for securing said block.
  • a block 10 (FIG. 9) preferably but not necessarily of antifriction material, is suitably to be embedded within the cavity of equalizer 3, so that its through hole 11 will be aligned with the corresponding holes comprising said knot or loop A of equalizer 3, whereas its tooth 12 is inserted in the mortice l6 and its small through hole 13 is aligned with the small holes 17 and 17' of equal izer 3, so that a small pin forcibly introduced into said aligned small holes will clamp such a joint; said block 10 is also characterized by the sharp corner 14 intended to interact with one of the free sides 7 or 7' of spring 5.
  • the spring 5 transmits loads directly to the equalizer 3 and through the latter indirectly to the other elements of the articulated quadrilateral, whichever is the closing or opening position of the door 25, also when its closing effect is counteracted and even more when it is active; an automatic resumption will result for all of those clearances which, although extremely reduced, are unavoidably present in all the links, with the desired result of ensuring a smooth continuous movement for the mechanism.
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 10 of the accompanying drawings A first variant to the device hitherto described is that as shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 10 of the accompanying drawings and consists of substituting the metal strap spring 5 for a wire spring 18.
  • This spring 18 has an intermediate helical coil made of a few turns 19 acting as the eyelet 6 of spring 5, two free branches 20 and 20' extending therefrom, which can be unequal and opposite, as shown in said figures, or equal and spread apart in the form of a V, as the sides '7 and 7' of spring 5.
  • spring 18 for spring 5 will not involve any change in the closing device, provided that it is provided with resilient characteristics equivalent to those of spring 5; the matter of being more or less preferred will depend on practical reasons.
  • a first improvement consists of adopting in the device for holding a door provided with concealed linked hinges shut as above described, an equalizer which, rather than comprising two separate parts made of a different materail and interconnected by a small pin, carries a tongue integral with the equalizer and acting as a lever arm relative thereto.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 An exemplary construction of this equalizer is shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, wherein the equalizer 30, made of suitably shaped steel strip and carrying at the ends two cylindrical curlings making up the knots or loops A and B, has adjacent knot or loop A a tongue 31 provided by cutting the equalizer body according to contour 32 and bending it to bring its corner 33 to the most suitable position to form one end (power" or resistance end) of a lever, the (alpha) axis of the knot or loop A of which is the fulcrum, whereas the (beta) axis of the knot or loop B is the other end.
  • the equalizer 30 made of suitably shaped steel strip and carrying at the ends two cylindrical curlings making up the knots or loops A and B, has adjacent knot or loop A a tongue 31 provided by cutting the equalizer body according to contour 32 and bending it to bring its corner 33 to the most suitable position to form one end (power" or resistance end) of a lever, the (alpha) axis of the knot or
  • Corner 33 is a sharp corner, so as to form a precise contact line with the spring with which it is to interact, but not being a cutting corner or edge, so that it will not tend to cut the spring; this can be economically accomplished by suitably selecting the cut direction for the steel strip and in the case by a next barreling of the finished piece.
  • the closing device including the novel equalizer 30 has a configuration and performs as the device shown in FIGS. 1,2 and 3 and including the equalizer 3.
  • a second improvement consists of giving the free side of the V-shaped spring intended to interact with the end 33 of the tongue 31 of equalizer 3d a convex shape rather than a flat shape, in order to enhance the closing effect and at the same time reducing the stresses being interchanged by the system elements when the hinge is open.
  • FIG. 15 A first exemplary embodiment for this second improvement is shown in FIG. 15, wherein a metal strap V-shaped spring 34 is illustrated and provided with an eyelet 39, one of the free side 35 being straight, as in the above described spring 5, but modified in that the free side opposite the straight side 35 has a bending 36 dividing it in two sections, a section 37 between the bending 36 and eyelet 33 diverging from the opposite side 35, and an end section 38 converging to said flat opposite side 35.
  • FIG. 16 shows another embodiment of spring as, having both of its free sides bent at M, 411, so as to be divided in two sections, of which the side 42,42 on the side of eyelet 44 substantially diverges from its opposite side, whereas the outer side 43,43 converges to said opposite side.
  • a third improvement consists of substituting the wire springs shown in FIGS. 37 and 18 for the metal strap spring shown in FIGS. I5 and 16.
  • fone of the straight sides comprises two branches 46 and 36, parallel to each other and connected by a cross section 47, while the opposite straight side comprises two not interconnected branches 48 and W; as in the preceding examples, the two eyelets 49 and 49 of each branch can be slipped on a pin d of the hinge.
  • this spring 50 has a curved side wherein the bendings 511 and 51' divide each branch respectively in sections 52 and 52', diverging from the opposite straight side and 55', and two sections 53 and 53 converging to said opposite side 55 and 55.
  • the two branches of the curved side are interconnected by a cross section 54, while those of the straight side 55 and 55' are free to each other.
  • the wire springs can provide over the corresponding metal strap springs the advantage of a smaller friction surface to the tongue acting there against and above all a larger availability of the material, since a larger variety of grade and sizes for spring wires can be normally found in commerce than those for spring metal straps.
  • wire springs corresponding to the above described metal strap springs, or to not substantial modifications thereof, can be readily devised on the example of those herein described. For example, it could be thought of increasing the elastic constant of these springs, without resorting to unduly large wire diameters, drawing near one another not only two, but a plurality of similarly shaped branches.
  • a further improvement of the invention consists of interposing a slide, preferably but not necessarily of anti-friction material, between the end 33 of tongue 31 of equalizer 30 and the free side of the V-shaped spring, on which said end operates.
  • FIGS.2l 22, 23 and 24 An exemplary embodiment of this slide is shown in FIGS.2l 22, 23 and 24, while its application is shown in FIGS. 25 and 26.
  • the slide 57 has a groove 58 defined by two side shoulders 59 and 59' for its guidance when sliding along a side of a spring, such as side 7 of spring 5; on its opposite face the slide having a saddles 60 defined by two suitably rounded shoulders 61 and 61' for accomodating the end 33 of tongue 31 of equalizer 30 and allowing the required swinging thereof.
  • the axes of saddle 60 and groove 58 are oblique and at right angles to each other.
  • the saddle 60 can be a through saddle or confined at its ends by two further shoulders 62 and 62' for better coupling it with the tongue 31 of equalizer 30.
  • the operation of the closing device comprising a spring, such as spring 5, and an equalizer, such as equalizer 30, integrated by the interposition of a slide, such as slide 57, is identical to that of the previously described devices, but has some further advantages: during the closing device operation, in any case there occurs a relative movement between the end 33 of tongue 3B of equalizer 30 and the side of a spring, such as side '7 of spring 5, which comprises a sliding and an oscillation.
  • the slide 57 separates the two components of the movement which turns from direct to indirect; more particularly, the sliding or dragging is only between the groove 58 of slide 57 and the side 7 of spring 5, while the rolling is only between the end 33 of tongue 31 and the saddle 61B of said slide 57.
  • a suitable but not extremely restrictive selection of the material for manufacturing the slide 57 will permit to substantially reduce the sum of friction occurring between the several contacting elements and in any case will provide for a more rational distribution and surely a lower degree in wears of said elements.
  • a device for holding a door shut, incorporated in a concealed hinge comprising:
  • first equalizer means pivotally attached to one of said pin means at one end thereof by bi-furcated attaching means
  • second equalizer means pivotally attached to the other of said pin means at one end thereof
  • movable means secured to a second surface and including a recess therein
  • V-shaped flexure spring having an eyelet at the apex and mounted by said eyelet to the one of the first pair of pin means associated with said first equalizer means between the bi-furcated ends of said bi-furcated attaching means, a first leg of said spring interacting with a projection of said second equalizer means acting as a lever with a fulcrum at its first pin means and the second leg of said V- shaped spring interacting with said fixed carrier.
  • said second equalizer means includes a block having a sharp edge interacting with said spring and a joint tooth.
  • V- shaped flexure spring is made of metal strap and both of its free sides are straight.
  • V- shaped flexure spring is made of wire, has an intermediate helical coil of a few turns and both of its free sides are straight and each comprise a single branch.
  • said equalizer having a sharp edge projection and interacting with said V-shaped spring is integrally made and has a tongue formed on its body by a U-shaped cut; said tongue terminating with a sharp but not cutting edge and forming an arm of a lever, of which the other arm is said equalizer.
  • V- shaped spring has an outwardly facing convexity provided by a bending dividing said side in two sections, the V apex facing section of which diverges from the opposite side, while the end section converges to said opposite side.
  • V- shaped spring having an eyelet at its apex is made of wire and comprises at least two parallel symmetrical branches interconnected by at least one cross section so as to be made of a single curved and bent wire length.
