Definitions
- the present invention concerns a hinge to connect a mobile element, for example a door, a panel or suchlike, to a fixed or substantially fixed structure.
- Hinges are known, used for furniture elements, for example rooms, wardrobes or other components able to constitute a containing compartment, made of a fixed, or substantially fixed structure, and at least one mobile element.
- the hinges connect the mobile element to the fixed structure to make it possible to close or open the containing compartment.
- hinges usually subtract space inside the containing compartment when the mobile element is open.
- the mobile element when the containing compartment is in the closed position, the mobile element, if not closed by a lock, is easily opened by unwanted external agents, for example the wind, or by external subjects, for example animals.
- known hinges are made of several components that are coupled with each other, which makes it difficult to manage the storage and transport of said hinges.
- One purpose of the present invention is to obtain a hinge that is easy to install and that can be repositioned over time in different positions.
- Another purpose is to obtain a hinge that facilitates the management of storage and transport operations.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to obtain a hinge that allows to open the mobile element by more than the amplitude of 90° and that when the containing compartment is closed the mobile element is closed in equilibrium.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to obtain a hinge that when the mobile element is open at 90° remains stably in position.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to obtain a hinge that in both the closed position and in the open position of the mobile element does not create encumbrance inside the containing compartment and is also stable.
- Another purpose is to obtain a hinge that allows selective access inside the containing compartment.
- Another purpose is to obtain a hinge with limited cost.
- the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
- the present invention concerns a hinge for furniture elements, or window and door frames, with a fixed structure and a mobile element, the hinge comprising a first hinging unit and a second hinging unit cooperating with each other.
- the first hinging unit and second hinging unit are respectively associated with the fixed structure and with the mobile element, and are articulated with respect to each other by means of an intermediate articulation member.
- the hinge has a reduced thickness and is therefore suitable to be applied in the thickness of the mobile element and/or the wall of the fixed structure.
- the first hinging unit and the second hinging unit are strictly connected to each other to define an inseparable unit. This renders the operations to store and transport the hinges particularly simple.
- the hinge is structured to admit an opening of the mobile element of 90°.
- the hinge has means to open at least up to 155°.
- At least one hinging unit comprises cam means suitable to stabilize at least one position of the remaining hinging unit and/or of the mobile element.
- the fixed structure and the mobile element have housing seatings inside which the first hinging unit and the second hinging unit are present, that is, contained.
- the hinge in the open position, is not protruding into the compartment and does not cause encumbrances.
- Embodiments described here in figs. 1-5 concern a hinge 10 that according to the present invention is suitable to be used to articulate a generic mobile element 12, such as for example a door or a panel of a furniture element, or a window or door frame, with respect to a fixed structure 14.
- a generic mobile element 12 such as for example a door or a panel of a furniture element, or a window or door frame
- the fixed structure 14 consists of a frame of a door or window or furniture element, which defines a containing compartment, between a first position ( fig. 2 ), or closed position, in which the mobile element 12 is closed with respect to the fixed structure 14, and at least one other position.
- This other position is a second position ( fig. 3 ), or position of first opening, in which the mobile element 12 is rotated around a first angle ⁇ with respect to the fixed structure 14, and possibly a third position ( fig. 5 ), or position of further opening, in which the mobile element 12 is rotated with an amplitude equal to at least a second angle ⁇ with respect to the fixed structure 14.
- the angle ⁇ is around 90°, while the angle ⁇ can be up to around 155° or more.
- the hinge 10 comprises a first hinging unit 18 and a second hinging unit 20 suitable to be respectively associated with the fixed structure 14 and with the mobile element 12.
- the hinge 10 is located inside the wall of the fixed structure 14 and inside the wall of the mobile element 12, so as to not be seen, nor to create obstacles either in the closed position, that is when the compartment is closed, or in the open position.
- the fixed structure 14 and the mobile element 12 have the walls conformed with housing seatings 28 that are located inside the respective thicknesses; the housing seatings 28 are suitable to house, that is, contain inside them, the first hinging unit 18 and the second hinging unit 20. This means that the hinge 10 does not protrude into the compartment.
- the first hinging unit 18 and the second hinging unit 20 comprise respectively a first containing body 15 and a second containing body 16.
- the first hinging unit 18 and the second hinging unit 20 are articulated by means of an articulation member 22 that anchors in the respective hinging units 18, 20, in particular in the first containing body 15 and in the second containing body 16.
- the first hinging unit 18 has a first pin 24 on which the articulation member 22 is hinged.
- the second hinging unit 20 has a second pin 26 that cooperates with the articulation member 22.
- the first pin 24 and the second pin 26 are located in practice on the same plane in proximity to one wall, which wall is in a position external to the hinge 10 in an assembled condition.
- the articulation member 22 has a C-shaped, or arc shaped, cross section.
- the first pin 24 cooperates with a contrast element 25, with which the articulation member 22 is provided, and which determines the final positioning of the articulation member 22 when the hinge 10 is open.
- the hinge 10 When the hinge 10 is normally completely open, it has a rotation of about 90° and the structure of the hinge 10 allows to obtain a further and greater opening.
- the first cam 30 is elastically contrasted by a spring 32 toward the articulation member 22 and has a stop tooth 36 and a cam profile 33 which, operating on one portion 27 of the articulation member 22 and/or cooperating with the contrast element 25, control the movement of the first cam 30.
- the articulation member 22 has a tooth 38 in association with the second pin 26 which extends substantially parallel to the wall of the second hinging unit 20 when this is open at the first angle ⁇ .
- the tooth 38 is located in a shaped seating 37 of the second cam 34, elastically contrasted by another spring 32 toward the articulation member 22, determining the clamping of the mobile element 12 that does not move even if there are external agents present.
- the second cam 34 is hinged with a pin 35 to the second containing body 16 located in the upper part of the second hinging unit 20, that is, in an opposite position with respect to the second pin 26.
- the articulation member 22 can have a through cavity 23 configured to allow to house the first cam 30 while the articulation member 22 is inactive in the closed position or is sliding through the cavity 23 to determine the opening of the compartment.
- the hinge 10 can be at least partly made of plastic material suitable to resist the forces in play.
- the coherence of materials between the mobile element 12, the fixed structure 14 and the hinge 10 confer continuity to the surfaces, giving a certain esthetic value, for example, to a furniture element.
- first hinging unit 18 and the second hinging unit 20 have protruding elements 40 to determine a joint respectively with the fixed structure 14 and the mobile element 12 and advantageously facilitate the assembly of the hinge 10 in a removable way.
- the hinge 10 as described heretofore functions as follows.
- the first cam 30 constrains the articulation member 22, and therefore also the mobile element 12, to remain fixed and stable in the closed position.
- the tooth 38 is inserted in the shaped seating 37 of the second cam 34.
- the hinge 10 does not rotate, thus preventing the mobile element 12 from opening accidentally.
- the second hinging unit 20 is integral with respect to the articulation member 22 and is rotated with respect to the first hinging unit 18 around the first pin 24.
- the integral rotation of the second hinging unit 20 with the articulation member 22 is determined by the coupling of the tooth 38 with the shaped seating 37 of the second cam 34.
- the mobile element 12 reaches a position of first stabilized opening.
- the mobile element 12 By making the mobile element 12 rotate further with respect to the fixed structure 14, that is, by an amplitude equal to a second angle ⁇ , the mobile element 12 is brought from the position of first opening to the position of further opening, shown in figs. 4 and 5 .
- the tooth 38 is free to slide along the profile of the second cam 34 to an amplitude corresponding to the maximum value of the second angle ⁇ .
