- The invention further relates to a locking piece for locking a hinge, the locking piece comprising: fastening means for fastening the locking piece to a fastening point; a bottom part; a cover part; at least one locking element in the cover part; at least one side part; a locking space arranged to be defined by at least the side part, the bottom part and the cover part; and at least one supporting surface in the locking space; the cover part being provided with at least one elongated and flexible tongue arranged to serve as a locking element; the tongue being provided with at least one locking projection extending towards the locking space.
- A hinge is previously known which comprises a locking piece and an actual hinge such that the two can be detached from one another. The locking piece can be fastened in advance into place e.g. to a door, while the actual hinge can be attached to a door frame. When the door is installed in place, a locking projection provided in one hinge part of the hinge is arranged into the locking piece. The locking projection is equipped with an aperture, and the locking piece is equipped with a locking element compatible with the aperture such that when the hinge part is arranged into the locking piece, the locking element becomes connected with the locking aperture. A disadvantage of the current locking pieces is that they typically consist of a plurality of different parts, which makes them laborious and expensive to manufacture. A further disadvantage of most known solutions is that both installation and disengagement require screws to be unscrewed or loosened, which makes a door more time-consuming to install.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved hinge and a locking piece for locking the hinge.
- The hinge according to the invention is characterized in that the side part, the bottom part and the cover part of the second hinge component constitute one uniform unit; and that the tongue is fastened to the cover part by its both ends.
- The locking piece according to the invention is characterized in that the side part, the bottom part and the cover part constitute one uniform unit; and that the tongue is fastened to the cover part by its both ends.
- An idea of the invention is that a locking piece enables the actual hinge to be locked e.g. to a door or a window. A projecting part provided in the hinge can be pushed into a locking space provided in the locking piece, so that the projecting part, in a direction of a hinge pin, is supported against a supporting surface located in the locking space. Furthermore, a cover part of the locking piece is provided with a flexible tongue whose surface facing the locking space is provided with a locking projection arranged to lock the projecting part in place in a direction transverse to the hinge pin. In addition to the cover part, the locking piece comprises a bottom part and at least one side part such that together they constitute one uniform unit. Furthermore, the tongue is fastened to the cover part of the locking piece by its both ends.
- An advantage of the invention is that the locking piece is simple to manufacture, so that it may also be inexpensive. Since the locking piece consists of one uniform unit, it is simple to install and handle. A still further advantage is that the bottom part forms a good and a relatively large supporting surface, enabling the locking piece to be firmly fastened to the fastening surface. The tongue being fastened to the cover part of the locking piece by its both ends makes it relatively rigid in a direction transverse to the hinge pin.
- An idea of an embodiment of the invention is that the tongue comprises a section bent towards the locking space, whereby a surface of the tongue facing the locking space is provided with a locking projection in the bent section.
- An idea of an embodiment of the invention is that a second hinge component, i.e. the locking piece, is made from a plastic material.
- An idea of an embodiment of the invention is that the second second hinge component, i.e. the locking piece, is made from a plastic material, and that it is made by injection moulding in one stage. Hence, the locking piece is quick to manufacture, and thus inexpensive.
- An idea of an embodiment of the invention is that the second second hinge component, i.e. the locking piece, comprises a cover part whose outer surface is provided with one or more recesses. In such a case, an end of an adjustment element provided in a first hinge part is allowed to penetrate into such a recess when the hinge is closed.
- An idea of an embodiment of the invention is that the second second hinge component, i.e. the locking piece, is symmetrical with respect to its central axis, and that the locking piece comprises two side openings in its opposite sides. This allows the locking projection of the hinge to be pushed into the locking piece from two alternative directions.
- Some embodiments of the invention are described in closer detail in the accompanying drawings, in which
- Figure 1 schematically shows a hinge according to the invention before installation,
- Figure 2 schematically shows a hinge according to the invention after installation,
- Figure 3 schematically shows a locking piece according to the invention as seen from the bottom,
- Figure 4 schematically shows a locking piece according to the invention as seen from the top, and
- Figure 5 is a schematic, extended view showing the locking piece according to Figure 4 in cross-section taken along line C - C.
- For the sake of clarity, the figures show some embodiments of the invention in a simplified manner. In the figures, like reference numerals identify like elements.
- A hinge shown in Figure 1 comprises a
first hinge part 1 and asecond hinge part 2 which are connected by means of ahinge pin 3 such that they can be turned with respect to one another. Thehinge pin 3 is illustrated in broken line in the figure. Thefirst hinge part 1 may be a hinge leaf, and it may compriseopenings 4 or other means for fastening the hinge leaf. Alternatively, thefirst hinge part 1 may be a fastening bolt or a corresponding element which can be fastened to a frame structure in a wall. Thefirst hinge part 1 may further be provided with rolledsections hinge pin 3. Thesecond hinge part 2 may consist of two components, i.e. afirst hinge component 5 and asecond hinge component 6. Thefirst hinge component 5 may be fastened to thehinge pin 3 e.g. by means of asleeve 7. Alternatively, it may be fastened e.g. by means of a rolled section, or it may be fastened e.g. by welding directly to thehinge pin 3. Thefirst hinge component 5 may comprise aprojecting part 8, which may be a substantially sheet-like section. The projectingpart 8 is provided with at least onelocking aperture 9, through which thefirst hinge component 5 may be locked to thesecond hinge component 6. Thesecond hinge component 6 may comprise abottom part 10 and acover part 11 which may define therebetween alocking space 12 into which the projectingpart 8 of thefirst hinge component 5 may be pushed in direction A. In Figure 2, the hinge is shown with thesecond hinge part 2 assembled. When the projectingpart 8 has been pushed into thelocking space 12, it is, in the direction of thehinge pin 3, supported against supporting surfaces located in thelocking space 12. Furthermore, thecover part 11 is provided with atongue 13 having at least onelocking projection 14 extending towards thelocking space 12 such that thelocking projection 14 is arranged to be received by thelocking aperture 9 in the projectingpart 8, and thus to prevent unacceptable movement of thefirst hinge component 5 with respect to thesecond hinge component 6 in direction A transverse to thehinge pin 3. When necessary, thetongue 13 may be bent outwards e.g. by a screwdriver, so that thelocking projection 14 emerges from thelocking aperture 9, thus allowing the projectingpart 8 to be drawn out of thelocking space 12. One or more recesses orincisions 13a may be provided in the vicinity of thetongue 13 so as to make use of a tool and bending thetongue 13 easier. It is to be noted that alocking aperture 9 refers both to an opening through a projectingpart 8 and to a recess provided in a projectingpart 8. - The
second hinge component 6 thus constitutes a locking piece which can be fastened e.g. to a door. For the fastening, thelocking piece 6 may be equipped with one ormore openings 15 which may receive a fastening screw. Alternatively, other ways of fastening thelocking piece 6 may also be applied. Furthermore, thecover part 11 of thelocking piece 6 may be provided with one ormore recesses 16 which may receive an end of anadjustment screw 17 or a corresponding adjustment element possibly provided in thefirst hinge part 1. Thecover part 11 and thebottom part 10 may be fastened to one another by means of one ormore side parts 18. The body of thelocking piece 6 may be formed in this manner. Theside parts 18, on one side or on both opposite sides thereof, may be provided with a side opening 19. - In Figure 3, the
locking piece 6 is shown as seen from abottom part 10. An outer surface of thebottom part 10 may be substantially even. Thebottom part 10 may form a relatively large mating surface against a target surface, so that thelocking piece 6 may be fastened extremely firmly e.g. to a door or a window frame. It is possible to make the fastening firm even if the hardness or quality, for example, of the target surface were relatively poor. - In Figure 4, the
locking piece 6 is shown as seen from acover part 11. Atongue 13 may be an elongated section provided in thecover part 11 such that asection 20, which is bent towards a lockingspace 12 and which forms a lockingprojection 14, may be placed substantially centrally within the elongated section. Thetongue 13 may be fastened by its both ends to thecover part 11 by means offastening sections tongue 13 and thefastening sections openings 22 to enhance the durability of thelocking piece 6. - The
second hinge component 6, i.e. the locking piece, shown in Figures 1 to 4 is symmetrical in its external dimensions with respect to the central axis D, which enables thesecond hinge component 6 to be arranged in a fastening point either as shown in the figure or by turning it by 180°. It is, however, possible to make thelocking piece 6 such that it is not symmetrical. For example, aside opening 19 may be provided on one side only. - Figure 5 shows a cross-section of the
locking piece 6 taken along line C - C. As can be seen in the figure, theside part 18, thebottom part 10, thecover part 11 and thetongue 13 may constitute one uniform unit. Such a unit may be manufactured in one manufacturing stage e.g. by injection moulding it from an appropriate plastic material. One or moresupporting surfaces 23 may be provided in connection with the lockingspace 12 to support thefirst hinge component 5 against thelocking piece 6, immovably in the longitudinal direction of thehinge pin 3. In such a case, the locking means formed by the lockingaperture 9 and the lockingprojection 14 only need to be responsible for preventing the projectingpart 8 from emerging from the lockingspace 12 unacceptably. Furthermore, theopenings 15 may be situated with respect to the lockingspace 12 such that screws or corresponding fastening elements arranged in theopenings 15 partly overlap with the lockingspace 12. Such an overlapping section is illustrated in Figure 5 by reference E. In such a case, the head of a screw may press thecover part 11 against the projectingpart 8, which makes the fastening extremely firm. In order to arrange the projectingpart 8 into the lockingspace 12, fastening screws may be slightly unscrewed for installation. Furthermore, the heads of the screws may support thefastening sections tongue 13. - Although Figures 1 to 5 show a
tongue 13 which is supported by its both heads against thecover part 11, it is also possible to make alocking piece 6 wherein anelongated tongue 13 is fastened to thecover part 11 by its one end only, thus leaving the other end free. The other end may be provided with a lockingprojection 14 which may be a projection section provided on a lower surface of thetongue 13, or it may be abent section 20 extending towards the lockingspace 12. - A hinge according to the invention may be shaped and dimensioned as desired. Furthermore, the
first hinge part 1 may be a hinge leaf, or it may be e.g. a fastening bolt. The hinge may also be a lifting hinge, allowing thefirst hinge part 1 and thesecond hinge part 2 to be detached by lifting one hinge part off from another. - In some cases, the features disclosed in the present application may be used as such, regardless of other features. On the other hand, the features disclosed in the present application may, when necessary, be combined in order to provide different combinations.
- The drawings and the related description are only intended to illustrate the idea of the invention. The details of the invention may vary within the scope of the claims.
