Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hinge.
  • the hinge of this invention is usable for flush-closing doors, particularly doors of furniture.
  • a hinge for pivotally connecting a movable member to a fixed member, said hinge comprising a connecting element, for example a stud, for driving into said fixed member, a first hinge part for fastening to said fixed member, a hole formed in said first hinge part for receiving said connecting element, a second hinge part for fastening to said movable member, a pivot pin interconnecting said first hinge part and said second hinge part, and locking means for releasably locking said first hinge part to said connecting element, the arrangement being such that said connecting element can be driven into said fixed member with an end zone of said element left projecting from said fixed member, and then said first hinge part can be received over said end zone so that said connecting element extends in said hole, whereafter said first hinge part can be locked to said connecting element by said locking means.
  • a connecting element for example a stud
  • FIG. 1 shows a horizontal section taken on the line I--I of FIG. 2 through a hinge pivotally connecting a closed, flush-closing door to a frame
  • FIG. 2 shows a vertical section taken on the line II-II of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a side elevation taken in the direction of the arrow III of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 shows a top perspective view of a modified Version of the hinge connecting the door and the frame
  • FIG. 5 shows a side elevation of the hinge
  • FIGS. 6, 8 and 9 show a horizontal section through the hinge, the door being shown closed, partly open, and fully open, respectively,
  • FIG. 7 shows a section taken on the line VIL-VII of FIG. 6,
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show a horizontal section through another modified version of the hinge connecting the door and the frame, the door being shown partly open, and fully open, respectively,
  • FIG. 12 shows a side elevation of a further modified version of the hinge connecting the door and the frame
  • FIG. 13 shows a horizontal section taken on the line XIII-XIII of FIG. 12,
  • FIG. 14 shows a section taken on the line XIV-XIV of FIG. 13,
  • FIG. 15 shows a section taken on a line corresponding to the line XV-XV of FIG. l2 through a further modified version of the hinge connecting the door and the frame, and
  • FIG. 16 shows a section taken on the line XVI-XVI of FIG. 15.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 there is driven into the frame 1 a stud 2 over a projecting end zone of which is received a hinge part in the form of a block 3.
  • This block is embraced by a U-shaped hinge part 4 which is inserted in the door leaf 5.
  • a pin 6 Provided as a pivot between the block 3 lCC and the hinge part 4 is a pin 6 of which the ends fit in bores in the U-shaped hinge part 4.
  • the stud 2 fits in a hole 7 in the block 3, and is provided with a peripheral annular groove 8 of trapeziform cross-section.
  • Adapted to engage in this groove 8 is a set-screw 9 of which the forward part 9a is adapted to the trapeziform cross-section of the groove 8.
  • a slot 10 is provided in the head of this screw to take a screwdriver.
  • the outer end of the stud 2 is also provided with a slot 11 for a screwdriver. If desired, the head of the screw 9 and the outer end of the stud 2 could instead Vbe polygonal for cooperation with a spanner wrench.
  • the stud part 2a screwed in the frame 1 is provided with a machined screwthread 12.
  • the base portion 4a of the U-shaped hinge part 4 is fixed in the door leaf 5 by means of a wood screw 13.
  • the axis of the wood screw is inclined relatively to the base portion 4a.
  • the axis of a seat 14 for the head of the wood screw 13 is correspondingly inclined.
  • the base portion 4a also comprises a tooth-like projection 15 which penetrates into the wood of the door leaf 5 and thus assists in retaining the hinge part 4 in the correct position in the door leaf.
  • the door 5 is opened, the screw 9 then being accessible to a screwdriver.
  • the block 3 together with the door leaf 5 can be removed from the stud 2.
  • AFor mounting the door on the frame first of all the stud 2 is introduced into the frame 1. The extent to which the stud is driven into the frame can be adjusted by means of a screwdriver inserted in the slot 11.
  • the U-shaped hinge part 4 is inserted in a slot-like recess in the dooi leafS, which recess can easily be produced by means of a milling cutter, and is fixed to the door leaf 5 by means of the wood screw 13.
  • the block 3 which is already mounted, by way of the pivot pin 6, in the U- shaped hinge part 4 is then fitted onto the projecting end zone of the stud 2, whereupon it can be locked to the stud by means of the screw 9.
  • the clearance between the door and the frame can be infinitely adjusted by turning of the stud 2.
  • the wood screw 13 and the stud 2 are situated in the same horizontal plane.
  • the block 3 and the hinge part 16 ⁇ (which corresponds to the part 4) are interconnected not only by the pivot pin 6 but also by a link 17.
  • This link 17 is pivotably mounted at one end on a pin 18 extending across a shallow slot 19 in the block 3.
  • the other end of the link 17 carries a stop pin 20 which runs in slots 21 formed in both limbs of the U- shaped hinge part 16.
  • the latter pin could run in a single slot which would be formed in one of the limbs.
  • the hinge part 116 is arrested yafter pivoting lthrough about from its :closed posit-ion.
  • This elimination Iof the risk is particularly advantageous 'for articles of furniture, e.g. kitchen furniture, of which the outside faces .are provided by a thin plastic panel as, for example, a laminated plastic panel.
  • a pivotable metal hinge part 22 is provided with la wall portion 22a which in the closed position of the door is situate-d in front yof the front face of the metal block 3.
  • wall portion 22a strikes -against .a side face of the yblock ⁇ 3, so .that the movement of the door leaf is stopped by direct contact between the metal hinge part 22 and the metal ⁇ block 3.
  • the plates 23 can be fixed in the recesses by gluing. It will be appreciated that the upper pliate 23 is the load-bearing plate. The reason for having the plates 23 at both the upper surfa-ce and the lower surface of the lblock is that the same hinge can be used f-or either right-hand or lefthand fitting on an article of furniture.
  • the hinge parts 3 and 4 can preferably be formed of zinc pressure castings.
  • a tu-rnable U-shaped hinge part 4a has at the inside an integral fixing flan-ge 25.
  • This fiange is provided with at least two, in this version three, holes through which screws can be introduced.
  • One is in the central plane of the hinge part 4a and is constructed as a slot 26, while the Iother two holes are circular holes 27.
  • the hinge part 4a can be initially screwed to the door by means of the screw 28 passed through the slot 26. Only when the alignment of the door leaf and the hinge with the frame 1 is completed, are the other two fixing screws screwed through the holes 27 into the door leaf 5.
  • This version has the advantage over the version shown in FIGS. 4 to 9 that the tensile forces exerted by the link 17 on the turntable hinge part has a mitigated effect on the fixing screws.
  • the fiange 25 is in the form of a triangular plate.
  • the fixing flange 25 can also be used in la hinge which is not arranged to be concealed from a front view, and also with a door leaf which can be pivoted through more than 90.
