Definitions

• the present invention relates to an articulation system that has been specially designed to relate the two sections or sheets of a folding door, in which said sheets are capable of adopting a coplanar arrangement, specifically in a closed situation, or a parallel arrangement. or adjacent, in turn specifically in an open situation.
• the object of the invention is to achieve a solid fixation between the hinge system and the two sheets to be related, which ensures a perfect maintenance of the relative position that the aforementioned sheets must adopt at all times, and which also allows easy tilting. one with respect to the other, during the opening and closing maneuvers of the door.
• the usual structure of a folding door consists of two dimensionally identical sheets, which are hingedly joined together through one of its vertical edges, so that one of said sheets and through its vertical and free edge joins the frame articulately of the door, while the other leaf, also at its free edge, presents complementary guiding means of others existing in the upper crossbar of the frame, since sometimes also on the ground, so that the door configures in a situation of opening a dihedral of virtually zero angulation, which during the closing of the door sees said angulation increased up to 180 °, permanently maintaining the mouth of the dihedral on an imaginary plane, the corresponding to the frame guide.
• the articulation system that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the above-mentioned problem, even in doors with a much more considerable weight than is usual.
• said system is based on embedding at the edge of each of the doors intended to relate to the other, a metal profile, the length of which coincides with that of said edge, that is, said profile integrally affects the same, profile that is definitely fixed to the corresponding sheet by means of a longitudinal alignment of screws that ensure that said fixation is completely solid, with no possibility of the slightest slack.
• Each of these profiles adopts a ribbed configuration, with a strangulated mouth, and is intended to receive in its bosom, by longitudinal slider, one of the blades of the hinge set that participate in the door, blades that have their opposite edge to that of articulation equipped with a head of constant profile, formally and dimensionally suitable for tongue and groove coupling to the corresponding metal profile, at the level of the mouth of the same, and to which it is fixed by pressure coining with the collaboration of a pair of screws (3) that they pass through the aforementioned head, which press against the bottom of the profile, specifically between a pair of longitudinal ribs, and which are definitively blocked with the collaboration of respective prisoners.
• each hinge blade is fixed to the corresponding profile through large surfaces and with a strong pressure that also makes it impossible to see any clearances between the blade and the profile, or what is the same, between the blade of hinge and door leaf.
• each leaf in the aforementioned fixed profile the edge of each leaf, immediately outside its wide central groove, two grooves are established that allow the implantation in one of them of a sealing gasket that acts on the gasket of the other sheet in closing situation of the door.
• the cylindrical core of one of the blades of one of the hinges, through which the tilt axis is passed has a recess in which it is located a handle, coaxially arranged on said axis and which facilitates the door opening maneuver.
• Figure 1. It shows a partial cross-sectional detail of one of the sheets of a folding door provided with the articulation system that constitutes the object of the present invention, at the level of the zone of implantation therein of the longitudinal profile that stiffens its articulation edge.
• Figure 2. Shows a front view of the detail of the previous figure.
• Figure 3. It shows a detail in front elevation of one of the hinges that relate the two sheets, specifically of the hinge provided with handle.
• Figure 4. Shows a profile of the assembly represented in the previous figure, in the same extension position for the hinge, corresponding to the opening for the door.
• Figure 5. Shows the same assembly of Figure 4, according to the same view, but in the closed position for the door.
• Figure 6.- shows a detail of the blockage of one of the hinges for fixing the hinges to the stiffening profiles of the door leaves.
• the profile (3) which defines a wide groove (6), has the mouth (7) of the same sharply strangled, as observed especially in Figure 1, in order to allow the tongue and groove coupling by sliding inside said spline (6) of the head (8) that ends each of the blades (9) of the hinges, blades that, as is conventional, are related to each other through a tilting axis (10) that plays within the cylindrical expansions of said blades ( 9).
• the choke (7) of the mouth of the grooved profile (3) is in dovetail
• the head (8) of the blades (9) adopting a configuration also in dovetail , so that each head (8) is easily attachable within the groove (6) by sliding, from one of the ends of the profile (3).
• the definitive fixation of the hinge is carried out with the collaboration of a pair of robust thymes (11), preferably of the "Alien" type, which pass through threaded holes of the head (8) and acting as prisoners on the bottom of the profile (3), specifically acting between a pair of longitudinal ribs (12) emerging from the base of the profile, on both sides of the alignment of fixing holes (4), as also observed in figure 1, so that these thymes (1 1) strongly press the corresponding head (8) against the inclined planes (7) defined in the mouth of the profile (3).
• thymes preferably of the "Alien" type
• the ribbed profile (3) also incorporates, outside its wide central groove (6) and maintaining its general symmetry, a pair of slots (14) selectively usable for the implantation of a seal (15), which in the closing situation for the door shown in figure 5, affects the joint of the other leaf, establishing a perfect seal between the two door leaves in such a situation.
• one of the hinges that participate in the door which occupies the most suitable height position for easy manual access, incorporates into the cylindrical core (16) of one of its blades (9) , a recess (17) that leaves its axis (10) free, for location in said recess of a handle (18), coaxially coupled to the axis (10) and that facilitates the opening of the door, that is to say the folding of one of Its leaves on the other.
