Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a hinge to articulate a mobile structure, for example a wing of a door or window, with respect to a fixed structure, for example a frame of a door or window.
  • Hinges are known, to articulate a wing of a door or window with respect to a fixed frame between a closed position and an open position, understood as any position whatsoever comprised between the closed position and the position of maximum opening.
  • Three hinges each disclosing the features of the preamble of claim 1, are known from US-A-93,402 , DE-C-196.103 and FR-A-821.654 , each one comprising from two to four arcuate sectors, cooperating telescopically each inside the adjacent one, in order to vary the angle of rotation of the hinge between the closed and open positions.
  • One disadvantage of each of these known hinges is that it is very complex and costly to be made, because it requires many components to be assembled.
  • Another hinge is known from US-A-509,702 , which comprises two solid parts connected by a rigid arcuate lever link.
  • the reciprocal rotation of the two parts is performed by two arcuate lugs, peripherally coupled therebetween and which can have also peripheral teeth adapted to engage each other.
  • the teeth of the two lugs also engage with two corresponding intermediate gears, which in turn engage each other.
  • These two gears are journaled upon and carried by the arcuate lever link.
  • This known hinge has both the disadvantage that it is very complicated to be manufactured and that it has difficulty to work when the intermediate gears are meshed together and also with the teeth of the two lugs, which in turn are meshed together.
  • Purpose of the present invention is therefore to achieve a hinge to articulate a mobile structure with respect to a fixed structure, which comprises a limited number of components, which is easy and quick to assemble and install, and which allows to support relatively high loads, substantially in any position between the closed and open position.
  • 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.
  • a hinge according to the present invention is able to articulate a mobile structure with respect to a fixed structure between a first position, in which the mobile structure is closed with respect to the fixed structure, and a second position, in which the mobile structure is open with respect to the fixed structure.
  • the hinge according to the present invention comprises: a first terminal element, a second terminal element and an intermediate element, cooperating with the first and second terminal elements. Each terminal element is able to be attached respectively to the mobile structure and to the fixed structure.
  • the first and second terminal elements are substantially identical and each comprises a plurality of finger guides disposed on two concentric rows to define a comb of inner guides and outer guides.
  • Each one of the finger guides has an arcuate development along a portion of circumference, in such a manner that any inner guide of one terminal element is alternated with an outer guide of the other terminal element.
  • the intermediate element comprises a plurality of arcuate grooves which are disposed on two concentric rows, for lodging the finger guides of the two terminal elements, and have the same curvature of the finger guides.
  • the intermediate element is able to enter at least partially into the bulk of both the first and second terminal elements, when the hinge is in the closed position, and to remain totally outside the two terminal elements when the hinge is in the open position.
  • substantially one half of the intermediate element is contained in a first compartment of the first terminal element and substantially another half of the intermediate element is contained in a second compartment of the second terminal element.
  • the hinge is able to enable the opening of the mobile structure even to about 180° with respect to the fixed structure.
  • the intermediate element is free to move circularly with respect to the two fixed terminal elements.
  • the guides can be V-shaped, U-shaped, T-shaped, or with any other shaped section.
  • the hinge therefore comprises a limited number of components, can be assembled easily and quickly, and allows to support relatively high loads, substantially in any position whatsoever between the closed and open position.
  • the hinge can be installed easily and rapidly.
  • the intermediate element is therefore able to connect the first terminal element with respect to the second terminal element, allowing the first terminal element to rotate with respect to the second, and thus articulating the mobile structure with respect to the fixed structure.
  • the terminal elements and/or intermediate element are made of anti-wear material, preferably of the self-lubricating type, or anti-friction material.
  • a hinge 10 is used to articulate a wing 12 of a door or window with respect to a fixed frame 14 between a first position, in which the wing 12 is closed with respect to the fixed frame 14, and a second position, in which the wing 12 is open with respect to the fixed frame 14.
  • the hinge 10 comprises two terminal elements, respectively a first element 16, able to be attached to the wing 12, and a second element 18, able to be attached to the frame 14 ( figs. 1 and 2 ).
  • the two terminal elements 16 and 18 are preferably made by pressure die-casting, or in another known manner, advantageously of anti-wear material, for example of the self-lubricating type, or anti-friction material.
  • the two terminal elements 16 and 18 are substantially identical, but assembled one upside down with respect to the other, and each of them defines a respective inner compartment 17 and 19 ( figs. 3 and 4 ).
  • the first terminal element 16 comprises ridges, defining finger guides 20a and 20b ( figs. 3 , 7, 8 and 9 ), each disposed on a portion of circumference, respectively inner guides 20a and outer guides 20b, disposed on two concentric rows.
  • the second terminal element 18 comprises ridges defining finger guides 22a and 22b ( figs. 4 , 7, 8 and 9 ), each disposed on a portion of circumference, respectively inner guides 22a and outer guides 22b, also disposed on two concentric rows.
  • each finger guide 20a, 20b, 22a and 22b has an arcuate development of about 180°, and the two rows define a comb, in such a manner that an inner guide 20a or 22a of one terminal element 16 or 18 is alternated with an outer guide 22b or 20b of the other terminal element 18 or 16.
  • the upper inner guide 20a and the lower outer guide 20b are each provided with a respective first protrusion 21.
  • the lower inner guide 22a and the upper outer guide 22b are each provided with a respective second protrusion 23.
  • the protrusions 21 and 23 develop radially towards the inside of the respective terminal element 16 or 18.
  • the hinge 10 also comprises an intermediate element 24 ( figs. 5, 6 , 7, 8 and 9 ) provided with a plurality of arcuate grooves 26 and 28, disposed on two concentric rows and having the same curvature of the finger guides 20a, 20b, 22a and 22b and an arcuate development of about 180°.
  • the grooves 26 and 28 are constituted by inner grooves 26, for slidably lodging the inner guides 20a and 22a, and by outer grooves 28, for slidably lodging the outer guides 20b and 22b.
  • the intermediate element 24 is preferably made by pressure die-casting, or in other known manner, advantageously of anti-wear material, for example of the self-lubricating type, or anti-friction material.
  • the pitch between the finger guides 20a, 20b, 22a and 22b of each terminal element 16 or 18 is equal to double the pitch between the corresponding guide grooves 26 or 28 of the intermediate element 24.
  • the upper inner groove 26 and the lower outer groove 28 are each provided with a respective first abutment 27, while the upper outer groove 28 and the lower inner groove 26 are each provided with a respective second abutment 29.
  • the first protrusions 21 are able to contact the respective first abutments 27, while the second protrusions 23 are able to contact the respective second abutments 28.
  • a part of the intermediate element 24 is contained in the compartment 17 of the first terminal element 16, and the remaining part is contained in the compartment 19 of the second terminal element 18, that is, within the bulk of the two terminal elements 16 and 18.
  • the finger guides 20a and 20b of the first terminal element 16 are completely disposed at intervals between the finger guides 22a and 22b of the second terminal element 18, and both the series of finger guides 20a, 20b, 22a and 22b are housed totally inside the corresponding grooves 26 and 28 of the intermediate element 24.
  • the three elements 16, 18 and 24 are completely inter-connected one inside the others and have an overall arcuate development of 180°.
  • the finger guides 20a and 20b of the first terminal element 16 slide in the corresponding grooves 26 and 28, while the intermediate element 24 remains substantially stationary with respect to the second terminal element 18.
  • the first protrusions 21 contact the respective first abutments 27, drawing the intermediate element 24 into rotation too.
  • the finger guides 20a, 20b, 22a and 22b are only partly inter-connected and guided in the corresponding grooves 26 and 28 of the intermediate element only for about 90°.
  • the intermediate element 24 therefore allows to support the finger guides 20a and 20b of the first terminal element 16 with respect to the finger guides 22a and 22b of the second terminal element 18, allowing to articulate the wing 12 with respect to the frame 14.
