Definitions

• connection between the pin and the lower element of the hinge is made by coupling together the lower element and the head of a bolt with longitudinal extension approximating by defect to the diameter of the pin.
• this portion of the pin is inserted into the lower element of the hinge.
• the bolt is activated by screwing it until it forces a tapered collar, carried axially by the bolt, against the edge of the service hole, thus positively determining the position of the pin.
• the present invention relates to a hinge connecting together a leaf and a frame of doors or windows .
• the present invention relates to a hinge of adjustable type connecting together a leaf and a frame of doors or windows.
• the present invention relates to a hinge of a type adjustable on three axes substantially at right angles to each other, connecting together a leaf and a frame of doors or windows .
• An object of the present invention is to create a hinge for doors and windows which will allow the disadvantages explained above to be resolved, and which will have a device of continuous type for adjusting the position of the pin, in order to satisfy a series of requirements which are still unanswered in the present state of affairs. Therefore, a hinge of this type is such as to represent a new and original source of economic advantage, capable of altering the current market of adjustable hinge for doors and windows.
• FIG. 1 is a schematic frontal view of a pair of hinges according to the present invention in a typical installation
• figure 2 is a view in axial section of a first preferred embodiment of the two hinges in figure 1 on an enlarged scale and with parts removed for clarity;
• figure 3 is a view in transverse section on an enlarged scale of figure 2 along line III-III in figure 2;
• figure 4 is a view in lateral elevation of a detail taken from figure 1;
• FIG. 5 is a view in axial section of a second preferred embodiment of the two hinges in figure 1 on an enlarged scale and with parts removed for clarity;
• first and second members 10 and 20 are connected to each other in axially fixed manner, by gravity which acts by thrusting the former onto the latter, and freely rotatably by virtue of a fulcrum member 30, usually, and in this case also, realized by a cylindrical pin which, for simplicity, is identified by the same reference number 30.
• the second member 20 and the fulcrum member 30 are separated axially by an axial plain bearing 50 carried at its lower end in figure 2 by a bush 52, whose function is to reduce the friction between boundary surfaces of the two members 20 and 30 in mutual contact.
• bush 52 houses pin 30 internally to a cylindrical axial hole 54 located eccentrically with respect to a corresponding external cylindrical sleeve 56.
• the eccentricity of hole 54 has the purpose of allowing the adjustment of the position of pin 30, and therefore of leaf 2, parallel and transversely to stile 3.
• pin 30 presents a free end 31 which engages bush 52 in figure 2, and an intermediate portion 32 provided with a housing 34 transverse to axis 5 and threaded, for housing a bolt 41 of determinate length L as seen in figure 2 , in which it has been represented for convenience by a head 42 with recessed hexagon, without this representing a limitation to the extension of the applicability of the idea of hinge which is being illustrated.
• pin 30 is supported by member 10 inside an axial housing 11 capable of accommodating portion 32 of pin 30, and having a squared section substantially rectangular as can be seen in figure 3, capable of constituting a transverse guide for pin 30 as will be better seen below.
• housing 11 approximates by excess the diameter of pin 30 by a fitting tolerance.
• housing 11 is occupied for its entire respective width by bolt 41, and for this reason it has a width substantially identical to the length L of bolt 41 itself, increased by a tolerance necessary for carrying out the insertion of portion 32 of pin 30 once bolt 41 has been inserted into housing 34 of pin 30 itself, transversely to housing 11 itself.
• member 10 presents, from the direction of a respective flange 70 for attaching it to leaf 2, a pair of threaded holes 14 whose axes 15 are located transversely to axis 5 and lie parallel to each other on a plane which contains axis 5 itself.
• Holes 14, furthermore, have diameters which are substantially identical to each other and which approximate by defect to a transverse diameter of head 42 of bolt 41 so as to retain it axially inside housing 11.
• these holes 14 are located symmetrically with respect to an intermediate portion of respective member 10, and therefore are respectively equidistant from upper and lower sides 13 of member 10 itself.
• hinge 1 has to be used to support a leaf 2 in such a way that the latter is openable in a clockwise direction, then pin 30 must be mounted inside member 10 as in figure 2, with end 31 facing downwards, so as to occupy hole 54 in bush 52. Consequently, the hole 14 to be used for adjusting the position of axis 35, and therefore the eccentricity of the position of pin 30 inside housing 11, will have to be the hole 14 located nearest to member 20, and therefore the lower one in figure 2.
• Member 10 therefore presents, in a position substantially intermediate between axes 15 of the two holes 14, but also between the upper and lower surfaces 13 of member 10 itself in figure 2, a hole 18 which has been illustrated with a dotted line in figure 3, and it has an axis 19 transverse to axis 15 of holes 14 and to axis 35 of pin 30, and is substantially equidistant from sides 13 of member 10.
• An indication of axis 19 is also given in figure 2, to allow better identification of hole 18 on the basis of the description given above.
• holes 14 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of hole 18, in such a way that first member 10 is usable for supporting right-hand and/or left-hand leaves 2.
• the assembly including hole 18, grub screw 60 itself and flat 36 constitutes an anchoring device 61 for pin 30, which allows pin 30 to be rigidly connected longitudinally with axis 35 in a determinate transverse position, and allows a rigid connection to be guaranteed between member 10 and pin 30, independently of the preselected position of axis 35 itself.
• pin 30 presents a constant diameter substantially identical to a principal dimension of the squared housing which accommodates it in the respective member 10; pin 30 includes a through housing 34 threaded to accommodate screw 41; pin 30 including a striking element/flat 36 parallel both to axis 35 of pin 30 and to housing 34 in order to be engaged by a grub screw 60; member 10 has two transverse holes 14 in a respective wall which is lateral for the respective housing 11 for accommodating pin 30; through holes 14 are threaded to accommodate stably and selectively a grub screw 16 for locking the rotation of bolt 41; grub screw 60 engages the respective hole 18 to rigidly connect member 10 and pin 30; the distance between housing 34 and flat 36 approximates to half the spacing between holes 14, and the extension of flat 36 transversely to axis 35 allows pin 30 to be locked axially within housing 11 itself by means of grub screw 60 in any position
• hinge 1 set forth above presents the possibility of adjusting the position of pin 30 on two horizontal axes.
• member 20 configuring the respective end portions of the axial housing 21 with threads 23 for supports 25 consisting of externally threaded cylindrical bodies, having internally a recess for an operating key or a screwdriver. Forming a thread 23 for both end portions of housing 21 will allow member 20 to be configured selectively for left-hand or right-hand leaves, as required.
