Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a device for installing glass doors on various types of cabinets and other wooden furniture, and particularly when installing a glass door on the inner wall surface of an opening of furniture as a pivot that can be freely opened and closed. In addition to making it possible to perform the installation work on completed furniture later on with extremely high efficiency and stability, for example, making it compatible with both left-hand and right-hand openings, it is also effective in mass production. It has been devised to maximize expectations.

Conventionally, as a device for later attaching the opening/closing door to the inner wall surface of the opening of furniture that has been completed, the device proposed in Utility Model Application No. 11545/1983 is known. A bushing 7 is embedded in the periphery of the door 4, and both bushings 5, 7
It is not possible to apply this method to glass doors because it is necessary to specially process a receiving hole in the peripheral edge of the door 4 for embedding it therein.

Second, if the door 4 is attached to the furniture 1 so that it can be opened and closed using the upper shaft 8 and the lower shaft 9 as fulcrums, both the shafts 8 and 9 are attached to the door 4 and the above two shafts. The bushes 5 and 7 are manufactured in advance as separate and independent parts. Therefore, a partition ring 11 such as a washer is prepared separately, and the partition ring 11 is forcibly fitted to the middle part of both shafts 8 and 9, and the partition ring 11 is connected to the peripheral part of the door 4. Both axes 8 and 9 cannot be positioned and fixed unless they are inserted into the mutual gap between the opening and the inner wall surface of the furniture 1.

Thirdly, the door 4 can be attached to and detached from the furniture 1 by attaching or detaching the partition ring 11 and raising and lowering the shafts 8 and 9, respectively. The work of attaching the door 4 to the furniture 1 is extremely complicated, and the work cannot be done quickly and efficiently with a single touch.

In order to improve these problems, the present invention is particularly designed as a mounting device for glass doors, with a hinge body that is fitted as a pair facing each other on the periphery of the glass door due to its structure, and a mechanism that corresponds to both hinge bodies. It consists of a female jig and a male jig that are embedded in advance into the inner wall of the furniture opening.The female jig is provided with a shaft hole for receiving the fixed support shaft, while the male jig is embedded in the inner wall of the furniture opening. The forward and backward support shaft that comes out and retracts is built in so that it is always biased in the exposed direction, and the hinge body is attached to the back wall that contacts the cut end surface of the glass door, as well as to the front and back surfaces of the glass door. The side wall is formed into a U-shaped cross section and consists of a pair of sandwiched side walls, and is bent into a flat state continuous with the back wall using the central part of one of the side walls as a support piece, and the side wall is branched by the bending. A pair of screw holes are opened in the remaining part of the hinge body, and both hinge bodies are fixed to the glass door by screws inserted through both screw holes. From the supporting piece in
A fixed support shaft that fits into the shaft hole of the female jig is integrally planted, and a receiving hole is formed in the support piece of the other hinge body to receive the advance/retreat support shaft of the male jig. After fitting the fixed support shaft of the hinge body into the shaft hole of the female jig, the forward and backward support shaft of the male jig is once recessed and engaged with the receiving hole of the hinge body in a restorative manner, thereby opening the glass door. It is characterized by being pivoted so that it can be opened and closed around its advancing/retracting support shaft and fixed support shaft, and being detachably attached to the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture.

Hereinafter, the specific structure of the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. Figures 1 to 10 illustrate the present invention applied to a glass door that opens and closes around the vertical axis, and 10 is a wooden door. 11 is a glass door for opening and closing the furniture; 12 and 13 are a pair of opposing hinge bodies that are removably fitted to the periphery of the glass door 11; As is clear from the figure, the glass door 11
It is manufactured to have a U-shaped cross section, consisting of back walls 14, 14 that come into contact with the cut end surface of the door 11, and a pair of side walls 15, 15, 16, 16 that face each other so as to sandwich both the front and back surfaces of the door 11. Moreover, one side wall 1
From the central part in the longitudinal direction at 5, 15, there is a support piece 1 in a flat state that is continuous with the back walls 14, 14.
7, 17 are integrally bent outward, and as a result of the bending, the remaining portions of the side walls 15, 15 are bifurcated.

Reference numerals 18 and 18 designate screw holes formed in both of the two remaining parts, into which a pair of screws 19 and 19 for pressing and fixing the glass door 11 are screwed in such a manner that they can move forward and backward. As shown in FIG. 4, the screws 19, 19 have a pusher 20 made of a cushioning material such as synthetic resin embedded in their tips and fixed.
It is desirable to set the pressure element 20 so as to directly contact the glass door 11 so as to prevent the door 11 from being damaged or damaged, and at the same time, to apply an effective pressing fixing force.

Furthermore, the fact that each of the pair of hinge bodies 12, 13 is provided with the support pieces 17, 17 protruding from the central position of one of the side walls 15, 15 as described above means that the hinge bodies 12, 13 are For example, this means that there is no distinction between right-handed and left-handed versions, and they can be used interchangeably as is, and in terms of manufacturing, they can be pressed using the same mold and method, and the distance between them can be maintained as long as possible. pair of screws 1
9 and 19 also allow the hinge bodies 12 and 13 to be stably fitted and fixed to the glass door 11.

Furthermore, a fixed support shaft 21 is implanted in the support piece 17 of one of the hinge bodies 12 and 13 and projects toward the remaining direction of the back wall 14, and this supports the female jig 22. It corresponds to the shaft hole 23 and is removably inserted into the interior thereof. A support piece 17 also extends from the other hinge body 13.
In this case, while corresponding to the forward/backward support shaft 25 of the male jig 24,
A receiving hole 26 is formed to receive this.

The pair of female jig 22 and male jig 24 is the fifth,
As is clear from Fig. 6, both hinge bodies 12 and 13 are integrally molded from a synthetic resin material, and in order to attach the hinge bodies 12 and 13 to the furniture 10, they are inserted into the embedded holes 27 and 28 made in the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10. , are press-fitted and fixed so that they face each other. In order to reduce the biting force at that time, each surface has wedge ridges 2.
9, 29 are provided, and it goes without saying that decorative flanges 30, 30, which also serve as positioning for press-fitting, are protruded.

The female jig 22 is substantially just a hollow cylindrical shape with a shaft hole 23 at its center, whereas the male jig 24 is substantially a hollow cylindrical shape with a bottom and a U-shaped cross section. It has an advancement/retraction support shaft 25 inside it.
and an elastic material 31 for applying back pressure to the support shaft 25.
It has become an assembly containing the following. That is, the male jig 24 itself has a support shaft 25 buried therein that moves forward and backward to removably engage with the receiving hole 26 of the hinge body 13, and also has an elastic force such as a coil spring sealed therein. The member 31 applies a pressing force to the support shaft 25 in the direction of exposure from the male jig 24.

Furthermore, a retaining flange 32 protrudes outward from the advance/retreat support shaft 25, while a regulating flange 33 that comes into contact with this protrudes inward from the opening edge of the male jig 24 itself. Therefore, its supporting axis 2
5 is self-retained together with the elastic material 31 so that it cannot be removed from the male jig 24, and as a result, the male jig 24 is inserted into the embedding hole 28 of the furniture 10 in a so-called one-touch type instantaneous manner. It is also possible to work fixedly.

However, as illustrated in FIG. 11, if an elastic material 31 such as a coil spring is fixedly integrated with the forward/retractable support shaft 25 in advance and is then enclosed in the male jig 24, the male jig The tool 24 itself may be formed into a hollow cylindrical shape in substantially the same way as the relatively simple female jig 22 described above. This is because the above-mentioned fixing workability is not extremely deteriorated. In any case, as shown in the figure, if the retaining flange 32 of the advancing/retracting support shaft 25 is defined in the shape of a conical wedge, the support shaft 25 can be easily and smoothly enclosed inside the male jig 24. If the protruding tip of the support shaft 25 is rounded, the above-mentioned receiving hole 26
It can be said that this is even more beneficial in that it can also smoothen the removable engagement action with. Incidentally, it is preferable that the advance/retreat support shaft 25 is made of a light metal such as aluminum material.

In the above configuration, when attaching the glass door 11 to the furniture 10 so as to be openable and closable, the seventh and eighth
As shown in the figure, the female jig 22 and male jig 24 are press-fitted and fixed into the embedded holes 27 and 28 of the furniture 10,
A pair of hinge bodies 12 and 13 are fitted and fixed to the peripheral edge of the glass door 11 so as to correspond to both jigs 22 and 24. Then, the fixed support shaft 21 erected from the support piece 17 of the first hinge body 12 is inserted into the shaft hole 23 of the female jig 22,
Next, the forward/backward support shaft 25 exposed from the male jig 24
is pressed into the male jig 24 while resisting the elastic material 31, and while rotating the glass door 11 into the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10, move the supporting piece 17 of the other hinge body 13 into the male jig 24 as described above. It suffices to allow the support shaft 25 to pass across the forward and backward support shaft 25, and to release the pushing operation force of the support shaft 25.

Then, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the forward and backward support shaft 2
5 and the receiving hole 26 opened in the support piece 17, the support shaft 25 is automatically exposed by the pressing force of the elastic member 31, and
Since it will engage with the receiving hole 26,
The glass door 11 is connected to the fixed support shaft 21 and the forward/backward support shaft 25.
It can be opened and closed around. Of course, by performing an operation in the opposite direction to the above, the glass door 11 can be removed from the furniture 10 and replaced. By applying appropriate processing to the protruding tip of the advance/retreat support shaft 25, the support shaft 2 can be automatically moved without applying the above-mentioned artificial pushing force.
5 and its receiving hole 26 may be engaged and disengaged.

In addition, since the figure illustrates the present invention applied to a glass door that opens and closes around the vertical axis, the male jig 24 is connected to the ceiling surface of the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10, and the female jig 22 is
Similarly, the jigs 22 and 24 are buried correspondingly in the floor surface of the inner wall surface of the opening, but they can also be buried in an upside-down arrangement. It is also possible to install the glass door 11 so that it can be opened and closed around the horizontal axis by embedding the glass door 11 in parallel on the upright side as a pair on the left and right sides.

As described above, in the present invention, the hinge bodies 12 and 13 are fitted to the peripheral edge of the glass door 11 as a pair facing each other, and both hinge bodies 12 and 1
3, it consists of a female jig 22 and a male jig 24 that are buried in advance in the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10, and the female jig 22 has a shaft hole 23 for receiving the fixed support shaft 21. At the same time, the male jig 24 is equipped with the furniture 10.
The reciprocating support shaft 25 that protrudes and retracts from the inner wall surface of the opening is built into the glass door 1 so as to be biased in the direction in which it is always exposed.
1, and a pair of side walls 1 that sandwich both the front and back surfaces of the glass door 11.
5 and 15 in a U-shaped cross section, and the center part of one of the side walls 15 is connected to the support piece 1.
As 7 and 17, the side wall 15 is bent into a flat state continuous with the back walls 14 and 14, and a pair of screw holes 18 and 18 are opened in the remaining part of the side wall 15 which is branched by the bending. The two hinge bodies 12 and 13 are fitted and fixed to the glass door 11 by screws 19 and 19 screwed into the screw holes 18 and 18, respectively, and the support piece 17 in one of the hinge bodies 12 is fixed.
Then, the fixed support shaft 21 that fits into the shaft hole 23 of the female jig 22 is integrally planted, and the support piece 17 of the other hinge main body 13 is attached to the male jig 2.
A receiving hole 26 is formed to receive the advancing/retracting support shaft 25 of the hinge body 12, and the fixed support shaft 21 of the hinge body 12 is inserted into the female jig 2.
After the male jig 24 is inserted into the shaft hole 23 of No. 2, the forward/backward support shaft 25 of the male jig 24 is once retracted and engaged with the receiving hole 26 of the hinge body 13 in a restorative manner, thereby allowing the glass door 11 to move forward or backward. Since it is pivoted so that it can be opened and closed around the support shaft 25 and the fixed support shaft 21, and is detachably attached to the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10, there is no need to perform any processing on the glass door 11 for installation. This has the effect of efficiently and stably attaching the glass door 11 to the completed furniture 10 with one-touch operation.

That is, according to the configuration of the present invention, the pair of opposing hinge bodies 12 and 13 are both connected to the back walls 14 and 1.
4 and a pair of side walls 15, 15, it is shaped into a U-shaped cross section, and is fitted to the peripheral edge of the glass door 11, and is screwed into one of the side walls 15 by screws 19, 19. , because it is designed to be assembled and fixed with the glass door 11.
There is no need to perform any installation work on the hinge itself, and the hinge bodies 12 and 13 can be freely fitted and fixed in the desired optimal position on the glass door 11, and can be used as a replacement for easily broken glass doors. can also be easily dealt with.

Furthermore, flat support pieces 17, 17 that are continuous with the back walls 14, 14 are bent out from the center of one side wall 15, and the remaining parts of the side wall 15, which are branched by the bending, are bent out. Since a pair of screw holes 18, 18 for screwing in the screws are opened in a parallel state in the part, the screws 19, 19 are screwed in from both the screw holes 18, 18 keeping the distance as long as possible. Accordingly, the fitted state of the hinge bodies 12 and 13 to the glass door 11 can be held extremely stably and firmly.

Then, in this stable and robust fitted state, the glass door 11 is attached to the furniture 10 by the supporting pieces 17, 17 bent out from the center of the side wall 15.
The glass door 11 can also be stably pivoted to the inner wall surface of the opening, and the opening and closing operation of the glass door 11 becomes smooth. The pair of screws 19, 19 are designed to be screwed into the glass door 11 from one side wall 15, so that the screws 19, 19,
There is no risk of unsightly deterioration due to exposure of 19.

As mentioned above, since the supporting pieces 17, 17 are bent out from the center of one side wall 15,
For example, the hinge bodies 12 and 13 are connected to the glass door 11.
There is no distinction between right-hand opening and left-hand opening, and they can be fitted and used interchangeably as they are, and the same mold and mold are used for bending the supporting pieces 17, 17.
By adopting this method, mass production can be carried out efficiently.

Further, the support pieces 17, 17 are in a flat state continuous with the back walls 14, 14, and the hinge body 1
Since the side walls 15 of the glass doors 11 and 13 are bent in advance, there is no unsightly gap between the peripheral edge of the glass door 11 and the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10, which would otherwise be unnecessarily wide open. Since there is no need to insert separate washers into the mutual gap, the glass door 1
1 to the furniture 10 can be attached extremely easily.

Furthermore, the support piece 1 on one hinge body 12
From 7 onwards, a fixed support shaft 21 that fits into the shaft hole 23 of the female jig 22 is installed integrally in advance, and on the support piece 17 of the other hinge body 13, the male jig 24 A receiving hole 26 is formed to receive the advancing/retracting support shaft 25. In other words, in terms of the relationship between the two jigs 22 and 24, the hinge body 1
The pairs 2 and 13 are not identical to each other, and one is shaped in advance as a male form with a fixed support shaft 21, and the other as a female form with a receiving hole 26 for the forward and backward support shaft 25. , Correspondingly, both jigs 22 and 24 are also embedded in the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10 in different forms of male and female.

Therefore, when the glass door 11 is later attached to the inner wall surface of the opening of the completed furniture 10,
First, the fixed support shaft 21 in one hinge body 12
can be easily fitted into the shaft hole 23 of the female jig 22, and in the fitted state in which it will not come off accidentally, the glass door 11 can be easily fitted into the shaft hole 23 of the female jig 22 without fear of colliding with the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10. It is possible to stably and smoothly rotate the receiving hole 26 in the other hinge main body 13 into engagement with the advancing/retracting support shaft 25 of the male jig 24 quickly.

In this respect, for example, the fixed support shaft 21 is
Assuming that the fixed support shaft 21 is separately and independently established from the female jig 22 in advance, by opening the receiving hole in the support piece 17 of the hinge body 12, If both hinge bodies 12 and 13 are made in female form,
On the contrary, it is difficult to turn the glass door 11 into the inner wall surface of the opening of the furniture 10, and it is not possible to attach it stably and easily as described above.

In that case, especially the scope of claims for utility model registration and the second
If the above configuration is adopted, since the advance/retreat support shaft 25 is held in advance to prevent it from coming off from the male jig 24, it is possible not only to bury it in the floor surface of the inner wall surface of the opening in the furniture 10, but also to Similarly, when the glass door 11 is buried in the ceiling surface of the inner wall of the opening, it is particularly useful in that it can prevent the sliding support shaft 25 from falling by itself, and has the effect of making the installation work of the glass door 11 smoother and more efficient.
