Definitions
- the invention relates to a hinge, preferably furniture hinge, consisting of a hinge arm which is pivotally mounted on a hinged in a cup-shaped hinge part Erten held hinge axis and provided with a hinge axis projecting tongue, which supported on one with an end portion on the hinged hinge part and in the closing area Sliding moment generating leaf spring slide.
- Known hinge of the type mentioned above has a leaf spring whose bent end held in a slot in the bottom of the cup-shaped hinge part and whose central part is supported against a laterally projecting into the hinge pot such that the resilient end of the leaf spring on a control edge of the hinge arm acts.
- the lateral arrangement of the leaf spring reduces the width of the hinge arm and therefore also the strength of the entire hinge. Also, the lateral arrangement of the leaf spring requires that it can be made only narrow. It follows that no great closing moment can be generated.
- a leaf spring having a narrow and a wide area is known, one end of the narrow area acting on the lower edge of the hinge arm wound around the hinge axis, thus functioning as a control edge.
- the spring acts only in a small range of motion on the control edge, which also has only the thickness of the hinge arm.
- the leaf spring is held by a bent tab and two lateral, perpendicular bolts, where it is mounted below the bottom of the hinge cup and therefore must pass through a required recess.
- Object of the present invention is to develop a generic hinge with easy-to-produce components, such as hinge arm and hinge cup, such that in the cup-shaped hinge part a closing moment generating leaf spring can save space in a simple and thus economical manner, at the same time the Spring characteristics of the sheet be used to achieve a better function of the hinge in the best possible way.
- the leaf spring has at least two sections of different width, wherein the at least one narrower section of the leaf spring passes through a central recess of the hinge arm, from the lower edge of a tongue is cut out, and that the at least a wider portion of the leaf spring by a transverse pin against the bottom of the hinge cup is pressed and held so.
- the at least one narrower section of the leaf spring can have an elongated rib up to the transition region of the at least one broader section of the leaf spring.
- notches or cutouts may also be present which give the spring the desired shape and which, however, can only slightly reduce the spring force due to the rib.
- the bottom of the hinge cup has a recess in the region in which the at least one broader section of the leaf spring is arranged.
- the distance between the transverse pin and the bottom may be smaller than the thickness of the leaf spring.
- the leaf spring can be at her under the Transverse pin area have a transverse recess, which optionally dips into the recess of the hinge cup and thus holds the leaf spring in its correct and centered position.
- the longitudinal rib may extend to three-quarters of the length of the transition region between the at least two portions of the leaf spring.
- the hinge arm may have the recess, from the lower edge of the tongue is cut out such that the lower edge of the recess next to the cut-out tongue has two sections on which the leaf spring are supported in the fully open position of the hinge can.
- the distance between the two sections to the hinge axis may be equal to or only slightly greater than the distance of the outer edge of the tongue to the hinge axis.
- the leaf spring may consist of two identical leaf springs of small thickness.
- the alternative provided for reinforcement rib can be omitted.
- corresponding indentations or beads need not be provided in this embodiment.
- the transverse pin may have a non-circular cross-section.
- the transverse pin is reinforced, so that it does not bend as easily as a transverse pin with a circular cross-section.
- the hinge arm preferably has, in its curved area, edges that are embossed in such a way that they are offset from the central, recessed part of the hinge arm. These embossed parts are so not in the same plane as the rest of the hinge arm. This embossing significantly improves the strength of the hinge arm.
- hinge consists essentially of a provided with an angled hinge arm 12 which engages with its lower rolled end 14 a hinge axis 28.
- the hinge axis 28 is held immovably in the usual manner in the side walls of the hinge cup 22.
- This hinge cup 22 is in a conventional manner in a flat blind hole, for example, a door 8, which is pivotally connected via the hinge 10 with a furniture body 6, used and connected thereto by a flange 44, which is part of the hinge cup 22 (see. FIG. 4 ).
- the cranked hinge arm 12 is in isolated representation in the FIGS. 7 and 8 shown.
- This hinge arm 12 has, as already stated, at its lower rolled end 14, which includes the hinge axis 28 in the installed state, a central recess 16, from the lower edge of a tongue 20 is cut out.
- the width of the tongue 20 is less than the total width of the recess 16, so that on both sides of the cut-out and bent-back tongue 20 short sections 18 are formed in the lower edge region of the recess 16.
- the tongue 20 is offset from the rolled end 14 of the hinge arm, so that its production is considerably simplified.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 is attached to the hinge axis 28 opposite the end of the hinge cup 22 in the side walls of a transverse pin 38 and between the transverse pin 38 and the bottom 24 of the hinge cup 22, a leaf spring 30 is supported.
- the leaf spring 30 advantageously has a transverse recess or bead 32, which partially dips into the recess 26 of the bottom 24 of the hinge cup 22 and thus holds the leaf spring in its correct and centered position.
- the leaf spring 30 is isolated in the FIGS. 5 and 6 shown. It essentially has two sections 40 and 42.
- the section 42 is a narrower section, which merges in a transition region in the wider portion 40 of the leaf spring 30.
- the narrower portion 42 has a curved end portion 36.
- a rib 34 extends as a reinforcing rib. This extends to about three quarters of the length of the transition region between the sections 42 and 40 of the leaf spring 30th
- FIG. 1 the hinge is shown in the closed position, that is, a door 8 closes an opening of the furniture body 6.
- the hinge 10 is visible in its about 30 ° open position. From this position, the tongue 20 slides in the opening direction along the curved end portion 36 of the leaf spring 30, whose radius of curvature corresponds to the distance of the outer edge of the tongue 20 from the hinge axis 28, so that the spring in this pivotal region of the hinge no longer performs bending. However, before the tongue 20 reaches this angular position of 30 °, it is supported against the leaf spring 30, so that the leaf spring generates a closing moment in this closing region. In this case, the rib 34 in the narrower section 42 causes the strength of this region reinforced by the rib to be increased, so that the leaf spring 30 is bent only in the region of the transverse pin 38. In this area, the leaf spring is wider, so that here a comparatively larger force can be generated with less bending.
- the hinge In the FIG. 3 the hinge is shown in its open position. Since the tongue 20 is made by simply bending out in a simple manner, this is not able to absorb any particularly large supporting forces of the leaf spring 20. In the open position of the hinge 10, therefore, the leaf spring 30 is supported on the side adjacent to the tongue 20 arranged edges 18 of the recess 16 of the hinge arm 12 from. The distance of these edges from the hinge axis 28 substantially corresponds to the distance of the outer edge of the tongue 20 of this hinge axis 28. The support of the spring is thus at the opening pivoting movement of the tongue 20 to the short portions 18 in the region of the recess 16 of the hinge arm 12 in the in FIG. 3 passed shown maximum open position, wherein the leaf spring 30 no further bending stress is impressed.
- FIG. 9 is one of the FIG. 3 corresponding representation of an alternative embodiment shown.
- the leaf spring 50 consists of two identical leaf spring parts 50 'and 50 "comparatively lesser thickness (see. FIG. 10 , in which the parts 50 'and 50 "are shown exploded) FIG. 3 ff.
- Embodiment provided rib 34 are dispensed with.
- the corresponding recesses or the bead 32 which has been described in the previous embodiment, are in the embodiment according to the FIGS. 9 to 12 not available anymore.
- the transverse pin 58 has a non-circular cross-section, thereby he is reinforced and can not be bent so easily.
- the hinge arm 52 is embossed in its curved portion such that outwardly offset edges 54 connect to the central part 56, said central part is provided with a recess 16.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Scharnier mit einfach herzustellenden Bestandteilen, wie Scharnierarm und Scharniertopf, derart weiterzubilden, dass sich in dem topfförmigen Scharnierteil eine das Schließmoment erzeugende Blattfeder raumsparend in einfacher und damit in wirtschaftlicher Art und Weise befestigen läßt, wobei gleichzeitig die Federeigenschaften der Blatt feder zum Erreichen einer besseren Funktion des Scharniers bestmöglich ausgenutzt werden soll.Object of the present invention is to develop a generic hinge with easy-to-produce components, such as hinge arm and hinge cup, such that in the cup-shaped hinge part a closing moment generating leaf spring can save space in a simple and thus economical manner, at the same time the Spring characteristics of the sheet be used to achieve a better function of the hinge in the best possible way.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Demnach besteht ein Scharnier aus einem Scharnierarm, der auf einer in einem topfförmigen Scharnierteil unverschieblich gehalterten Gelenkachse schwenkbar gelagert ist und mit einer die Gelenkachse überragenden Zunge versehen ist, die auf einer mit einem Endbereich am schwenkbaren Scharnierteil gehalterten und im Schließbereich ein Schließmoment erzeugenden Blattfeder gleitet. Erfindungsgemäß weist die Blattfeder mindestens zwei Abschnitte unterschiedlicher Breite auf, wobei der zumindest eine schmalere Abschnitt der Blattfeder eine mittlere Ausnehmung des Scharnierarmes durchsetzt, aus deren unteren Kante eine Zunge ausgeschnitten ist, und dass der zumindest eine breitere Abschnitt der Blattfeder durch einen quer verlaufenden Stift gegen den Boden des Scharniertopfes gedrückt und so festgehalten wird.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Accordingly, there is a hinge of a hinge arm which is pivotally mounted on a non-displaceably held in a cup-shaped hinge part hinge axis and is provided with a hinge axis projecting tongue, which supported on one with an end portion on the hinged hinge part and in the closing area Closing moment generating leaf spring slides. According to the invention, the leaf spring has at least two sections of different width, wherein the at least one narrower section of the leaf spring passes through a central recess of the hinge arm, from the lower edge of a tongue is cut out, and that the at least a wider portion of the leaf spring by a transverse pin against the bottom of the hinge cup is pressed and held so.
Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den sich an den Hauptanspruch anschließenden Unteransprüchen.Preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the subsequent claims to the main claim.
Demnach kann der zumindest eine schmalere Abschnitt der Blattfeder bis zum Übergangsbereich des zumindest einen breiteren Abschnitts der Blattfeder eine länglich ausgebildete Rippe aufweisen. Das bedeutet, dass sich die Rippe längs der Blattfeder erstreckt. Aufgrund dieser sich längs erstreckenden Rippe erfolgt die Biegung der Blattfeder nicht in ihrem engeren Abschnitt, sondern im breiteren Abschnitt, der am Boden des Scharniertopfes gehalten ist. In diesem breiteren Abschnitt und dem zu diesen führenden Übergangsbereich nimmt die Blattfeder eine größere Kraft mit geringerer Biegung aus und ihre Lebensdauer wird von möglichen aus dem Fertigungsverfahren stammenden Mikrobrechungen in keiner Weise beeinflußt. Darüber hinaus können auch Einkerbungen oder Ausschnitte vorhanden sein,die der Feder die gewünschte Form geben und die aber wegen der Rippe die Federkraft nur unwesentlich verringern können.Accordingly, the at least one narrower section of the leaf spring can have an elongated rib up to the transition region of the at least one broader section of the leaf spring. This means that the rib extends along the leaf spring. Because of this longitudinally extending rib, the bending of the leaf spring does not occur in its narrower section, but in the wider section, which is held at the bottom of the hinge cup. In this wider portion and the transition region leading to it, the leaf spring exerts a greater force with less bending and its life is in no way affected by possible micro-fractions originating from the manufacturing process. In addition, notches or cutouts may also be present which give the spring the desired shape and which, however, can only slightly reduce the spring force due to the rib.
Vorteilhaft weist der Boden des Scharniertopfs in dem Bereich, in dem der zumindest eine breitere Abschnitt der Blattfeder angeordnet ist, eine Ausnehmung auf. Der Abstand zwischen dem querverlaufenden Stift und dem Boden kann geringer bemessen sein als die Dicke der Blattfeder. Die Blattfeder kann an ihrem unter dem querverlaufenden Stift liegenden Bereich eine querverlaufende Einbuchtung aufweisen, die gegebenenfalls in die Ausnehmung des Scharniertopfes eintaucht und damit die Blattfeder in ihrer richtigen und zentrierten Stellung hält.Advantageously, the bottom of the hinge cup has a recess in the region in which the at least one broader section of the leaf spring is arranged. The distance between the transverse pin and the bottom may be smaller than the thickness of the leaf spring. The leaf spring can be at her under the Transverse pin area have a transverse recess, which optionally dips into the recess of the hinge cup and thus holds the leaf spring in its correct and centered position.
Die längs verlaufende Rippe kann sich bis zum dreiviertel der Länge des Übergangsbereichs zwischen den zumindest vorhandenen beiden Abschnitten der Blattfeder erstrecken.The longitudinal rib may extend to three-quarters of the length of the transition region between the at least two portions of the leaf spring.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Scharnierarm die Ausnehmung aufweisen, aus deren unteren Kante die Zunge derart ausgeschnitten ist, dass die untere Kante der Ausnehmung neben der ausgeschnittenen Zunge zwei Abschnitte aufweist, auf die sich die Blattfeder in vollständig geöffneter Stellung des Scharniers abstützen kann. Der Abstand der zwei Abschnitte zur Gelenkachse kann gleich oder nur geringfügig größer sein als der Abstand der äußeren Kante der Zunge zu der Gelenkachse. Während sich die Blattfeder also während des Öffnens bzw. Schließens des Scharniers auf der Zunge abstützt, stützt sie sich in der vollständig geöffneten Stellung des Scharniers auf den zusätzlichen beiden Abschnitten ab.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the hinge arm may have the recess, from the lower edge of the tongue is cut out such that the lower edge of the recess next to the cut-out tongue has two sections on which the leaf spring are supported in the fully open position of the hinge can. The distance between the two sections to the hinge axis may be equal to or only slightly greater than the distance of the outer edge of the tongue to the hinge axis. Thus, while the leaf spring is supported on the tongue during the opening or closing of the hinge, it is supported on the additional two sections in the fully open position of the hinge.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann die Blattfeder aus zwei identischen Blattfedern geringer Dicke bestehen. In diesem Fall kann die alternativ zur Verstärkung vorgesehene Rippe entfallen. Auch entsprechende Einbuchtungen bzw. Sicken müssen bei dieser Ausführungsform nicht vorgesehen werden.According to a further preferred embodiment, the leaf spring may consist of two identical leaf springs of small thickness. In this case, the alternative provided for reinforcement rib can be omitted. Also corresponding indentations or beads need not be provided in this embodiment.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Querstift einen unrunden Querschnitt aufweisen. Hierdurch ist der Querstift verstärkt, so dass er sich nicht so einfach durchbiegt wie ein Querstift mit kreisrundem Querschnitt.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the transverse pin may have a non-circular cross-section. As a result, the transverse pin is reinforced, so that it does not bend as easily as a transverse pin with a circular cross-section.
Der Scharnierarm weist bevorzugt in seinem gekrümmten Bereich Ränder auf, die derart geprägt sind, dass sie gegenüber dem mittleren, mit der Ausnehmung versehenen Teil des Scharnierarmes versetzt sind. Diese geprägten Teile liegen also nicht in der gleichen Ebene wie der restliche Teil des Scharnierarmes. Durch diese Prägung wird die Festigkeit des Scharnierarms erheblich verbessert.The hinge arm preferably has, in its curved area, edges that are embossed in such a way that they are offset from the central, recessed part of the hinge arm. These embossed parts are so not in the same plane as the rest of the hinge arm. This embossing significantly improves the strength of the hinge arm.
