Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement made to plug hinges, realizing the articulation of a pivoting opening vis-à-vis a fixed frame, these hinges being conventionally constituted by means of two adjacent cylindrical tubular knuckles and through which a common articulation pin engages, these knuckles each being integral with a lateral lug for fixing to the leaf and the frame respectively, allowing the free movement of the first relative to the second.
  • this second barrier is not perfect, because of the discontinuities necessarily created in line with the articulation hinges and the backwashing of the corresponding joint made at this location between the opposite ends of the two knuckles of each of these.
  • the present invention relates to an improvement made to the hinges of the kind in question, which avoids such a peeling, in particular allowing the seal, in particular to that which constitutes the second barrier in the part of this seal which extends in line with the hinges, not to have any significant discontinuities from one end to the other of the latter between the two knuckles and their fixing lugs respectively on the leaf and the frame, the joint being only sectioned on both sides 'other of the knuckle secured to the frame to allow pivoting vis-à-vis the latter of the second knuckle connected to the opening.
  • each of the two knuckles comprises, in its lateral fixing tab, respectively secured to the leaf and the frame, extending parallel to its tubular element, a mounting groove and immobilization of a seal, projecting towards the outside of the tab under this tubular element, so that, in the support position of the opening on the frame, the seals carried by the two legs are in the extension of one another, ensuring the continuity of the seal to the right of the hinge.
  • each knuckle is thus associated with a seal which, when the sash is applied to the frame, ensures the continuity of the sealing of the assembly, in combination with the parts of this same seal which, in a conventional manner , extend over the opening beyond the hinge, on one side and the other of the latter.
  • the fixing lug of the knuckle of this opening has, in cross section, an L-profile, with a end part fixed to a canvas of the profile, the other part, integral with the tubular element, carrying the groove for receiving the seal, which is extended in the profile of the opening by a groove of the same section provided in a tenon of support integral with this profile, so that the seal can be mounted continuously in these two grooves, arranged in the extension of one another.
  • the metal profile of the opening comprises an external edge, perpendicular to the plane of the canvas on which the terminal part for fixing the hinge of the hinge is applied, this external edge being integral with the post provided with the groove for receiving the attached.
  • the outer edge of the profile is extended by an enveloping end, externally at least partially surrounding the cylindrical element of the knuckle carried by the opening.
  • the outer edge of the profile of the opening comprises, beyond the knuckle carried by this profile, a second tenon aligned with the first, formed in continuity with the latter on the profile and in which is mounted a extension of the seal, the distance separating the two studs being substantially equal to the width of the hinge fixing lug carried by the frame, which is embedded therein when the opening is applied to the frame.
  • the reference 1 designates a hinge joint comprising, in itself known manner, two adjacent knuckles 2 and 3, each consisting of a cylindrical tubular element 4 and a fixing lug 5, this- Ci preferably having a profile conforming in cross section to the shape of an L, with a first part 6 integral with the tubular element 4 and extending in a plane containing a longitudinal generatrix for connecting the tab with this tubular element, then a second end portion 7, extending substantially perpendicular to the first.
  • This part 7 comprises a heel 8 and a rib 9, allowing its immobilization, as the case may be, on the opening or the frame of a window frame, door or the like, by means of a locking screw, not shown, engaging in a passage 10 drilled in the part 7 of the tab 5.
  • the knuckle 2 is fixed by its lug 5 against a profile constituting the frame of a window opening or the like, the knuckle 3 being for its part secured to a fixed frame, intended to receive the opening during the production of the window or door considered.
  • the knuckles 2 and 3 are provided with a clip-shaped extension 11, provided in part 6 of the fixing lugs 5 of these knuckles and in particular produced during the manufacture of the latter, this clamp extending parallel and in the vicinity tubular elements 4 of the corresponding knuckles.
  • the clamp 11 delimits each time a groove, respectively designated by 12 for the knuckle 2 and by 13 for the knuckle 3.
  • the grooves 12 and 13 are offset, while in the closed position, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, they are in the extension one of the other, allowing, as specified below, the continuity of a seal, only sectioned in the appropriate places to allow the free movement of a knuckle relative to the other during the movements of the opening relative to the frame.
  • the opening 14 thus comprises a flat canvas 15 provided with two parallel rails, respectively 16 and 17, arranged so as to allow the mounting under one of them of the heel 8 of the end portion 7 of the fixing lug 5 with support of the rib 9 against the other, the assembly being immobilized in a suitable position along the length of the profile 14 by a support wedge 18.
  • the profile of the opening 14 also includes an outer edge 19, which in the embodiment shown, extends perpendicular to the fabric 15, this edge being provided internally with a stud 20, comprising a groove 21, the position of the post being determined by construction so that this groove 21 is placed substantially in the extension of the groove 12 of the knuckle 2 (see Figure 1), when the latter is immobilized in the profile as indicated above.
  • a seal 22 the section of which can be variable depending on the applications envisaged, the tubular shape shown in the drawings therefore having no limiting character, is mounted in the grooves 12 and 21, without any solution of continuity, this joint being only stopped at its end 23, to the right of the location occupied by knuckle 3 once the hinge is finally assembled.
  • the profile of the opening 14 comprises a second tenon 24, arranged in the extension of the tenon 20 and formed continuously with the latter on the profile, the latter being machined by milling to allow the mounting of the hinges at the places provided.
  • the tenon 24 has a groove 25 for mounting the corresponding part 26 of the seal 22, that being continuous and stopped only at its end 27 opposite the end 23, on the other side of the location reserved for knuckle 3 .
  • a joint section 29 the longitudinal dimension of which corresponds to that of the tubular element 4 of this knuckle, this joint section having end sections 30 and 31 respectively, suitable for come to have exactly opposite the ends 23 and 27 of the seals 22 and 26 carried by the opening 14 in the closed position of the latter on the frame 28, illustrated more particularly in Figure 3.
  • the reference 32 designates the spindle allowing the knuckles 2 and 3 to be articulated mutually by engagement of the latter along the common axis of the two tubular elements 4 of these knuckles.
  • the seals 22, 29 and 26 are in strict extension of each other, ensuring the continuity of the seal between the opening and the frame, including at the hinge 1, with only one sectioning at the ends 23 and 30 on the one hand, and 27 and 31 on the other.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate, in cross section, the mounting of the opening 14 on the frame 28 by means of the hinge 1 and its knuckles 2 and 3 articulated around the spindle 32.
  • the outer edge 19 of the opening 14 has an extension 36, partially surrounding the hinge 1 (see Figures 3 and 4).
  • the opening is illustrated provided with a central glazing 37 with double wall, respectively 38 and 39; of course, this latter arrangement is of little importance to the invention, the opening may possibly be constituted by a solid panel, in particular in the case of a door.
  • the second barrier produced by this joint in a conventional assembly in particular by avoiding the backwashing of this joint at the right of the hinge joint.
  • This system also improves the performance of the assembly, not only with regard to air and water tightness, but also with regard to sound insulation.
