Description

La présente invention concerne les procédés et les éléments qui permettent de réaliser des charnières comme celles qui trouvent une infinité d'applications dont les plus courantes sont, par exemple, de constituer des moyens de rotation de portes, volets, etc, par rapport à des embases ou châssis.The present invention relates to methods and elements which allow to realize hinges like those which find an infinity applications of which the most common are, for example, to constitute means for rotating doors, shutters, etc., relative to bases or chassis.

Une charnière, comme celles qui sont le plus couramment utilisées, est essentiellement constituée par une paumelle et un gond, ces deux pièces coopérant l'une avec l'autre au moyen d'un arbre solidaire de l'une et d'un palier réalisé dans l'autre, l'arbre pivotant dans le palier pour obtenir la rotation de la paumelle par rapport au gond. Ces deux pièces sont aussi désignées par les techniciens par "corps dormant" quand il est fixé sur le châssis et "corps ouvrant" quand il est fixé sur l'objet pivotant par rapport au châssis.A hinge, like the most commonly used, essentially consists of a hinge and a hinge, these two parts cooperating with each other by means of a shaft integral with one and a bearing made in the other, the shaft pivoting in the bearing to obtain the rotation of the hinge relative to the hinge. These two parts are also designated by technicians as "dormant body" when it is fixed on the frame and "opening body" when it is fixed on the object pivoting with respect to the chassis.

Ces deux pièces sont de plus réalisées pour que, à chaque paumelle, corresponde un gond et réciproquement. Dans ces conditions, les fabricants sont obligés de prévoir deux gammes de fabrication, une pour chaque pièce, d'autant plus larges que de nombreux domaines techniques utilisent des charnières de tous types et de toutes dimensions. Comme, de plus, certains des outils nécessaires à la réalisation de chaque pièce sont spécifiques à chaque gamme de fabrication, il s'en suit que le prix de revient de chaque pièce est relativement élevé, malgré les quantités importantes fabriquées.These two pieces are also made so that, with each hinge, corresponds a hinge and vice versa. Under these conditions, the manufacturers are obliged to provide two production ranges, one for each piece, even wider than many technical areas use hinges of all types and sizes. As, moreover, some of the tools necessary for the realization of each part are specific to each manufacturing range, it follows that the cost price of each piece is relatively high, despite the quantities important manufactured.

La présente invention a ainsi pour but de réaliser des éléments pour charnières, qui permettent de réduire le coût de revient d'au moins une grande partie des charnières que l'on trouve dans le commerce, notamment celles qui sont utilisées dans la construction des bâtiments.The object of the present invention is therefore to produce elements for hinges, which reduce the cost price by at least a large part of the hinges which one finds in the trade, in particular those used in the construction of buildings.

Plus précisément, la présente invention a pour objet un procédé permettant de réaliser des charnières, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend au moins une étape consistant à obtenir un corps unitaire à partir d'un profilé, ledit corps étant inscrit dans une surface cylindrique, et comportant deux parties d'extrémités, une percée traversante réalisée dans chaque partie d'extrémité suivant la génératrice de ladite surface cylindrique, deux parties de parois respectivement solidaires des deux dites parties d'extrémités, et une portion de paroi solidaire des deux dites parties de parois, ladite portion de paroi présentant au moins un point de faiblesse dans sa liaison avec les deux dites parties de parois, permettant de séparer celles-ci sous un effort de rupture relativement faible. More specifically, the subject of the present invention is a method allowing to realize hinges, characterized in that it comprises at least one step of obtaining a unitary body from a profiled, said body being inscribed in a cylindrical surface, and comprising two end parts, a through hole made in each end part along the generatrix of said cylindrical surface, two parts of walls respectively integral with the two said end parts, and a portion of wall integral with the two said wall parts, said wall portion having at least one point weakness in its connection with the two said parts of walls, allowing to separate these under a relatively breaking force low.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaitront au cours de la descnption suivante donnée en regard des dessins annexés à titre illustratif mais nullement limitatif dans lesquels:

  • Les Figures 1 et 2 représentent deux vues, respectivement de dessus et en perspective, d'un mode de réalisation d'un élément pour l'obtention d'une charnière avec le procédé selon l'invention, et
  • Les Figures 3 et 4 représentent différentes étapes de la réalisation d'une charnière obtenue avec un procédé selon l'invention tel que représenté sur les Figures 1 et 2.
  • Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear during the following description given with reference to the drawings annexed by way of illustration but in no way limitative in which:
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 represent two views, respectively from above and in perspective, of an embodiment of an element for obtaining a hinge with the method according to the invention, and
  • Figures 3 and 4 represent different stages in the production of a hinge obtained with a method according to the invention as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • Les deux Figures 1 et 2 représentent un mode de réalisation d'un élément 1 permettant de réaliser des charnières qui trouvent une application, notamment dans le domaine du bâtiment, pour le montage des fermetures, c'est-à-dire des portes. fenêtres, volets, etc.The two Figures 1 and 2 represent an embodiment of a element 1 making it possible to produce hinges which find an application, especially in the building sector, for the assembly of closures, i.e. doors. windows, shutters, etc.

    L'élément 1 est essentiellement constitué d'un corps unitaire 2 inscrit dans une surface cylindrique 13 dont la directrice 3 a une forme telle que celle représentée sur la Figure 1 qui en outre représente l'élément 1 en vue de dessus.Element 1 essentially consists of a unitary body 2 inscribed in a cylindrical surface 13 whose director 3 has such a shape than that shown in Figure 1 which also represents element 1 in top view.

    Ce corps unitaire 2 comporte deux parties d'extrémités 4, 5 avantageusement de forme renflées, une percée traversante 6, 7 réalisée dans chaque partie d'extrémité 4, 5 suivant la génératrice de la surface cylindrique, deux parties de parois 8, 9 solidaires respectivement des deux parties d'extrémités 4, 5 et une portion de paroi 10 solidaire des deux parties de parois 8, 9, cette portion de paroi 10 étant d'une longueur, suivant la génératrice de la surface cylindrique 13 définie ci-dessus, très inférieure à la longueur des parties de parois 8, 9 suivant cette génératrice.This unitary body 2 comprises two end parts 4, 5 advantageously of swollen shape, a through hole 6, 7 made in each end part 4, 5 along the generatrix of the cylindrical surface, two parts of walls 8, 9 secured respectively to the two end parts 4, 5 and a wall portion 10 integral with the two wall parts 8, 9, this wall portion 10 being of a length, according to the generatrix of the cylindrical surface 13 defined above, much lower to the length of the wall portions 8, 9 along this generatrix.

    Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux comme celui qui est illustré sur les Figures 1 à 4, les longueurs, suivant la génératrice de la surface cylindrique. des deux parties de parois 8, 9 et des deux parties d'extrémités 4, 5 sont égales et leurs bords situés d'un même côté 14-17 et 18-21 sont dans un même plan.In an advantageous embodiment such as that which is illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the lengths, along the generator of the cylindrical surface. of the two parts of walls 8, 9 and of the two parts ends 4, 5 are equal and their edges on the same side 14-17 and 18-21 are in the same plane.

    Avec cet élément 1, il est possible de réaliser très avantageusement une charnière, par exemple en suivant les étapes décrites en regard des Figures 3 et 4.With this element 1, it is possible to achieve very advantageously a hinge, for example by following the steps described with regard to Figures 3 and 4.

    Pour ce faire, la portion de paroi 10 est éliminée de façon à obtenir la séparation des deux parties de parois 8, 9, par exemple en cassant cette portion de paroi 10. Dans ce but, cette portion de paroi présente au moins un point de faiblesse dans sa liaison avec les deux parties de parois 8, 9, par exemple une diminution d'épaisseur longitudinale qui va constituer un ensemble de points de faiblesse sur lesquels il suffira de produire un effort de torsion, par exemple manuel, suffisamment faible pour obtenir la rupture de la portion de paroi 10.To do this, the wall portion 10 is eliminated so as to obtain the separation of the two wall parts 8, 9, for example by breaking this portion of wall 10. For this purpose, this portion of wall has at least one point of weakness in its connection with the two parts of walls 8, 9, for example a decrease of longitudinal thickness which will constitute a set of points of weakness on which it will suffice to produce a torsional force, by manual example, weak enough to break the portion wall 10.

    Ensuite, au moyen de tout outil adapté, on élimine les morceaux de portion de paroi 10 qui pourraient être restés solidaires des deux parties de parois 8, 9, pour obtenir deux pièces complètement séparées sans aspérités disgracieuses, comme celles qui sont illustrées sur la figure 3.Then, using any suitable tool, remove the pieces of wall portion 10 which could have remained integral with the two parts of walls 8, 9, to obtain two completely separate parts without roughness unsightly, like the ones shown in Figure 3.

    Une chemise 25, 26 est enfichée dans chaque percée traversante 6, 7, l'une 26 de ces chemises comportant un arbre de rotation émergeant 27 et l'autre chemise 25 comportant un logement en creux 28 de forme cylindrique de révolution d'une section sensiblement complémentaire de la section de l'arbre 27 de façon que ce dernier puisse pénétrer dans le logement en creux 28 et que l'on obtienne ainsi une paumelle et un gond aptes à pivoter l'un dans l'autre, de la même façon que pour les charnières de l'art antérieur.A jacket 25, 26 is plugged into each through hole 6, 7, one 26 of these liners comprising an emerging rotation shaft 27 and the other jacket 25 comprising a recessed housing 28 of shape cylindrical of revolution with a section substantially complementary to the section of the shaft 27 so that the latter can enter the recessed housing 28 and thus obtaining a hinge and a hinge able to pivot into each other, in the same way as for hinges of the prior art.

    Sur chaque pièce, sont aussi réalisés des moyens qui permettent de la fixer sur un support comme le châssis d'une fermeture ou la fermeture elle-même, soit un volet, une fenêtre, etc, par exemple des orifices pratiqués dans les parties de parois 8, 9.On each piece, are also made means which allow fix it on a support like the frame of a closure or closure itself, either a shutter, a window, etc., for example openings made in the wall parts 8, 9.

    La structure de l'élément 1 décrite ci-avant est très avantageuse car elle permet de réaliser très facilement des charnières d'un coût de revient très inférieur à celui des charnières de l'art antérieur, notamment pour les raisons suivantes:The structure of element 1 described above is very advantageous because it makes it very easy to produce hinges at cost price much lower than that of the hinges of the prior art, in particular for the following reasons:

    Du fait de la forme cylindrique de la surface latérale 13 du corps unitaire 2, l'élément 1 peut facilement être obtenu dans un profilé de grande longueur, en étant en outre assuré que les paumelles et les gonds qui pourront être débités dans ce profilé seront en nombre égal.Due to the cylindrical shape of the lateral surface 13 of the body unit 2, element 1 can easily be obtained in a profile of great length, being further assured that the hinges and hinges which can be debited from this profile will be in equal number.

    Pour obtenir chaque élément 1, il suffit en effet de découper ces profilés suivant des plans perpendiculaires à la génératrice de la surface cylindrique 13 et distants l'un de l'autre d'une longueur égale à celle, entre leurs bords opposés 14-17 et 18-21, des parties d'extrémités 4, 5 et des parties de parois 8, 9. La portion de paroi 10 peut être obtenue en pratiquant, par exemple, deux saignées 30, 31 découpées suivant une même génératrice comme ci-après. Avantageusement, ces deux saignées ont des longueurs égales pour donner au corps unitaire 2 un maximum de rigidité afin, par exemple, de faciliter sa manutention, notamment lors du traitement de surface auquel il doit généralement être soumis. De ce fait, la portion de paroi 10 est sensiblement située à égale distance des bords opposés 15-16 et 19-20 des parties de parois 8, 9.To obtain each element 1, it suffices to cut out these profiles along planes perpendicular to the generatrix of the surface cylindrical 13 and spaced from each other by a length equal to that, between their opposite edges 14-17 and 18-21, end portions 4, 5 and wall portions 8, 9. The wall portion 10 can be obtained by practicing, for example, two grooves 30, 31 cut along a same generator as below. Advantageously, these two bloodletting have equal lengths to give the unitary body 2 a maximum of rigidity in order, for example, to facilitate its handling, especially when surface treatment to which it must generally be subjected. Thereby, the wall portion 10 is substantially located at equal distance from the edges opposite 15-16 and 19-20 of the wall portions 8, 9.

    Bien entendu. les deux saignées 30, 31 peuvent être obtenues simultanément, au moyen d'une seule opération de presse. Cette réalisation est notamment avantageuse quand le profilé est en un matériau comme de l'aluminium. De plus, quand les moyens pour fixer les paumelles et les gonds sur leurs supports respectifs sont constitués par des orifices pratiqués dans les parties de parois 8. 9. ils peuvent être réalisés en même temps que les deux saignées, au moyen de la même et unique presse, ce qui limite encore le nombre d'opérations de fabrication.Of course. the two grooves 30, 31 can be obtained simultaneously, by a single press operation. This achievement is particularly advantageous when the profile is made of a material such as aluminum. In addition, when the means for fixing the hinges and the hinges on their respective supports are formed by holes in the wall sections 8. 9. they can be made at the same time time that the two bloodletting, using the same single press, which further limits the number of manufacturing operations.

    La structure selon l'invention de l'élément 1, outre le fait qu'elle permet de réaliser un nombre important de pièces "paumelles" et "gonds" avec un nombre réduit d'opérations et d'apparier parfaitement les deux pièces d'une même charnière, permet également de faire subir à ces deux pièces, puisqu'elles demeurent reliées entre elles par la portion de paroi 10, le même traitement de surface par exemple.The structure according to the invention of element 1, in addition to the fact that it allows a large number of "hinge" and "hinge" parts to be produced with a reduced number of operations and to perfectly match the two parts of the same hinge, also allows to subject these two pieces, since they remain interconnected by the portion of wall 10, the same surface treatment for example.

    De ce fait, dans cette phase de fabrication également le nombre d'opérations est réduit, notamment le nombre de manutentions, et, de plus, les deux pièces traitées ensemble auront rigoureusement le même aspect, la même qualité de surface, ce qui peut présenter un avantage sur le plan esthétique.Therefore, in this manufacturing phase also the number of operations is reduced, in particular the number of handling, and, more, the two parts treated together will have exactly the same appearance, the same surface quality, which can be an advantage over the aesthetic level.
