Definitions

• the present invention relates to a pivot hinge for hanging a door leaf in a door opening, comprising a mounting block which is fastenable to the upper side or underside of the door leaf, and more specifically a pivot hinge for hanging a glass door leaf.
• the present invention also relates to a glass door comprising such a pivot hinge and more specifically a fireproof or soundproof glass door.
• a pivot hinge is a hinge which on the one hand comprises a trunnion (pivot pin), which is fastened either to the door leaf or to the door opening, and on the other hand comprises a socket (bushing), which is respectively arranged either in the door opening or in the door leaf and in which the trunnion can be rotatably arranged.
• Such a translucent door leaf can be made of glass, for example.
• the intention in such doors is that there are no frames, or as few frames as possible, enclosing the door leaf.
• fireproof doors form a fire barrier between various areas for a certain amount of time, which prevents heat transfer.
• the present invention relates more specifically to fireproof glass doors, but is not limited thereto.
• attempts have therefore long been made to find solutions for hanging the glass door leaf in a door opening with as little framework as possible and with a minimal amount of play between the door leaf and the edge of the door opening.
• a major difficulty in this case is that said fireproof doors should preferably meet the standards which apply to fireproof doors. European standards EN 13501 and EN 1634 can be given as a reference for these standards.
• a pivot hinge for hanging a door leaf in a door opening comprising a mounting block which is fastenable to the upper side or underside of the door leaf, comprising a socket which is fastenable in or is arranged in the edge of the door opening, and comprising a trunnion which at a first end is positionable in the socket and at a second end comprises a flange which , extends at least partially along the edge of the trunnion at said second end, wherein the mounting block comprises an insertion opening and comprises a flange which extends at least partially along the edge of the insertion opening, wherein the trunnion at its second end is fastenable to the mounting block via the insertion opening and wherein, in the fastened state of the trunnion, the flange of the trunnion engages behind the flange of the insertion opening.
• a more aesthetic overall impression is obtained by minimizing the amount of play between the door leaf and the door opening, without perforating the door leaf and without using extra profiles to eliminate the play. Furthermore, there are fewer draughts and less transmission of noise. The space and its associated risk of fire extension are also reduced. The means required to bridge this space in the event of fire in order to be able to ensure fire resistance are therefore limited such that it is no longer necessary to provide a frame around the door leaf for this purpose. It is therefore possible to meet the demands in respect of fire safety, without it being necessary to provide an obvious frame around the door leaf and without it being necessary to perforate the door leaf.
• the second end of the trunnion in order to fasten the trunnion to the mounting block, is freely positionable in the insertion opening in a first position and is displaceable in the insertion opening from said first position to a second position, in which the flange of the trunnion engages behind the flange of the insertion opening.
• the trunnion can more particularly be linearly displaceable in the insertion opening from the first position to the second position.
• the insertion opening is in this case then preferably embodied as a keyhole opening.
• the trunnion can more particularly be rotatable in the insertion opening from the first position to the second position.
• the respective flanges then extend over only part of the respective edges, such that they can be arranged next to one another in the first position (seen in the insertion opening), in which they do not engage with one another and in the second position (seen in the insertion opening) are arranged one behind the other, in order to engage with one another.
• the trunnion more particularly comprises a first trunnion part, which comprises the first end of the trunnion, and a second trunnion part, which comprises the second end of the trunnion, wherein the exterior of the first trunnion part is conical at its other end than the end of the trunnion, wherein the second trunnion part comprises a fitting cavity, the interior of which is conical and is provided with indentations at the second end of the trunnion and wherein the first trunnion part is positionable via its conical end into the fitting cavity of the second trunnion part, in such a way that when the first trunnion part is positioned in the second trunnion part, the flange of the trunnion points outward.
• the trunnion is fastenable in the insertion opening by positioning the second trunnion part with the flange in the insertion opening and subsequently positioning the first trunnion part with its conical end in the fitting cavity of the second trunnion part, in such a way that the flange of the trunnion which points outward engages behind the flange of the insertion opening.
• the aim of the present invention is also achieved by providing a door comprising a door leaf and comprising a pivot hinge according to the present invention for hanging the door leaf in a door opening. Since use is made of a pivot hinge, and since the mounting block of said pivot hinge is connected to the bracket, the door leaf will either be clamped locally along part of its upper side by the bracket, when the pivot hinge is arranged above the door, or along part of its underside, when the pivot hinge is arranged under the door.
• the door leaf is imperforated.
• a door according to the present invention preferably comprises a bracket for fastening the pivot hinge to the door leaf, wherein said bracket locally clamps the door leaf along part of the upper side or underside thereof and wherein the mounting block is fastenable to or forms part of said bracket.
• the door is fireproof. In a second specific embodiment of a door according to the present invention, the door is soundproof.
• a door according to the present invention is preferably both fireproof and soundproof.
• the bracket comprises a web plate which extends along at least part of a side edge of the door leaf and at least two upright flanges arranged in pairs which extend on both sides of the door leaf in order to clamp the door leaf.
• the web plate will extend either at least partially along the upper edge of the door leaf, when the pivot hinge is arranged above the door, or at least partially along the bottom edge of the door leaf, when the pivot hinge is arranged under the door.
• the web plate of such a bracket extends further in this direction than the upright flanges.
• the bracket of a fireproof door according to the invention can also comprise a plurality of upright flanges arranged in pairs which locally clamp the door leaf at a distance from one another.
• a bracket of a fireproof door according to the invention is preferably made of steel or stainless steel.
• the web plate of an abovementioned bracket is also preferably perforated, in order to limit heat transfer. More specifically, said web plate can be provided with a plurality of rows of perforations extending in the longitudinal direction of the side edge, wherein the perforations of a first row are arranged in a staggered fashion with respect to the perforations of a second row. Such an arrangement of perforations has an insulating effect and ensures that conduction is greatly reduced. More preferably, material which swells under the influence of heat (intumescent) is arranged between the web plate and the door leaf. It is possible to use a strip of material based on graphite, for example, as such swellable material.
• such swellable material In the event of fire, such swellable material swells and ensures good flame-tightness between the bracket and the glass. If perforations are provided in such a bracket, the swellable material can then also swell up in the event of fire and pass through the bracket and (help to) close off the space between the door leaf and the door opening.
• the web plate of a bracket as described above preferably extends over the width of the door leaf.
• the bracket is fastened to the door leaf by means of structural adhesive which is protected by at least one fireproof element. It is possible to use a prepolymerized polyurethane adhesive and more specifically a two-component sealant based on isocyanate as structural adhesive.
• Such a structural adhesive ensures that the bracket can be fastened to the door leaf in a particularly firm fashion, without it being necessary to perforate said door leaf in order to fasten the bracket to the door leaf.
• a drawback of such a structural adhesive is that the structural adhesives which are best suited for this purpose will carbonize in the event of fire and ignite, which would compromise the fire resistance of the door. By protecting the structural adhesive from the external surroundings using a fireproof element, it is possible to ensure the required level of fire resistance.
• said fireproof element can more preferably be fireproof adhesive.
• a silicate cube for example, as the fireproof element.
• fireproof adhesive It is possible to select, for example, a high-temperature-resistant two-component epoxy adhesive based on metal as fireproof adhesive.
• An important consideration for such a fireproof adhesive is that it provides the required insulation between the door leaf and the bracket and, at least initially, retains its volume at least partially in the event of fire (it will nevertheless lose its bond). In this way, said fireproof adhesive will, at least initially, form a buffer between the glass and the bracket (which can reach high temperatures) in the event of fire, as a result of which glass breakage is avoided.
• Said fireproof adhesive preferably at least partially retains its adhesive strength at a temperature of 80°C and does not ignite at this temperature.
• metal tape is at least partially applied between the structural adhesive and the door leaf.
• fireproof glass comprising a plurality of layers of glass between which fireproof gel is applied
• said fireproof gel is usually surrounded by a rubber seal which can be damaged by such a structural adhesive.
• a metal tape means that it is possible to protect such a rubber seal from the structural adhesive.
• the door leaf of a glass door according to the present invention can more specifically be made of fire-resistant glass.
• Such fire-resistant glass can comprise a plurality of glass sheets between which fireproof material, such as a fireproof gel, for example, is applied.
• the glass sheets it is possible for the glass sheets to be made from float glass, cast glass, toughened glass, thermally prestressed glass, laminated glass, layered glass, etc., depending on the fire-resistance requirements.
• a fireproof door according to the invention preferably further comprises sheet material with a core based on sodium silicate or based on fireproof graphite, wherein said sheet material extends substantially over the sides of the door opening in order to expand in the event of fire and (help to) close off the space between the door leaf and the door opening.
• At least partially swellable material may be provided along the sides of the door opening, wherein said swellable material is more specifically able to at least partially cover the sheet material with a core based on sodium silicate or based on fireproof graphite.

• the pivot hinge (3) and the bracket (4) at the top and the bottom support (18), the bracket (4) and the floor spring (19) at the bottom enable the door leaf (2) to rotate in the door opening between an open position, in which the door opening is open, and a closed position, in which the door leaf (2) extends in the door opening and substantially closes off said door opening.
• the fireproof door (1) illustrated in Figure 1 is a swing door (1), since the door leaf (2) is not prevented from rotating in two directions with respect to the door opening (outward and inward).

• a strip of material (12) which swells under the influence of heat is arranged between the web plate (9) and the door leaf (2), for example swellable material based on graphite.
• said strip of swellable material (12) ensures good insulation between the bracket (4) and the glass of the door leaf (2). In this way, the heat of the bracket (4) is prevented from causing breakage of the glass.
• the perforations (11a, l ib) mean that said swellable material (12) can also easily expand through the perforations (11a, l ib) into the space between the door leaf (2) and the door opening.
• the door leaf (2) is fastened in the flanges (10) by means of structural adhesive (8).
• structural adhesive (8) A prepolymerized polyurethane adhesive and more specifically a two-component sealant based on isocyanate can be used as structural adhesive.
• Such a structural adhesive is known, for example, under the name Quick Bond prepolymer from Veidec®.
• Such a structural adhesive (8) ensures that the bracket (4) can be fastened to the door leaf (2) in a particularly firm fashion, without it being necessary to perforate the door leaf (2) in order to fasten the bracket (4) to the door leaf (2). Since such a structural adhesive (8) carbonizes in the event of fire and will possibly ignite, said adhesive (8) is protected from the external surroundings. This can be effected, for example, with the aid of fireproof adhesive (8). It is possible to use, for example, a high- temperature-resistant two-component epoxy adhesive based on metal as such fireproof adhesive (8). Such a suitable adhesive is known, for example, under the name Technofix from Promante.
• a metal tape is applied, where necessary, between the structural adhesive (8) and the door leaf (2), in order not to damage the rubber seals between the various layers of fireproof glass.
• Other elements which are fastened to the door leaf (2) are also preferably fastened in the same manner, using a combination of structural adhesive (8) and fireproof adhesive (8), in order to avoid perforating the door leaf (2) and to embody the door (1) in a fireproof manner.
• the illustrated door handle (22) for opening and closing the door (1) is therefore also preferably glued to the door leaf (2) using a combination of structural adhesive (8) and fireproof adhesive (8).
• the bracket (4) for fastening the bottom pivot (18) to the door leaf (2) is also preferably fastened to the underside of the door leaf (2) using a combination of structural adhesive (8) and fireproof adhesive (8).
• the bracket (4) for fastening the bottom pivot (18) can be embodied in the same manner as the bracket (4) for fastening the pivot hinge (3) to the upper side of the door leaf (2).
• a strip of fireproof material (12) is applied between the web plate (9) of the bracket (4) and the door leaf (2).
• the flanges (10) are in this case likewise glued to the door leaf (2).
• the bottom pivot (18) can be fixedly attached to the bracket (4) by means of gluing or welding or using screws, for example.
• the bottom pivot (18) is provided in a known manner with an opening (20), in which the shaft (21) of the floor spring (19) can be arranged in a known manner.
