Description

The invention relates to a hinge fitting, in in particular a corner support for a door, window or the like, comprising a fixed part and a movable part, the fixed part comprising rebate fastening means for the sleeping frame of the door or the like, as well as means of articulation, in the form of a socket or an axis, capable of cooperating with additional articulation means, in the form, respectively, of an axis or of a socket, integral with the movable part reported in the rebate of the opening of this door or the like, these complementary means of articulation are integrated into a covering strip that comprises said opening, this strip being, moreover, provided adapted, of a hand, to be applied on the door frame or analogous and, on the other hand, to accommodate the means of articulation of the fixed part while the socket, defining the means of articulation or, as the case may be, the additional articulation means, has a bore provided a bottom on which the end is able to bear free from the axis, preferably in the form of a ball joint, this bottom being defined by a piece independent of the socket and whose positioning in the bore is adjustable under the impulse of an adjusting screw rotatably mounted in said socket.

The present invention will find its application in the field of the building hardware and concerns, more in particular, the field of articulation fittings for doors or windows of which the opening is at least pivotally mounted, around a vertical axis, on the frame, knowing that the present invention also applies to the opening so-called tilt and turn.

There are currently different types of fittings of articulation more particularly applicable to doors or windows whose opening is partially covered by the frame dormant, i.e. it has a covering strip intended to be applied on the internal side of the frame, once the door or window is closed. In fact, we understand although in this type of design, is the pivot axis of the opening is located substantially at the height of the rear edge of the covering strip corresponding to the rear upright of this opening, either during the maneuver, it is deported, driven by the means of articulation, outside the framework dormant so that said covering strip cannot oppose such a maneuver by leaning on the frame sleeping.

To answer the first solution we know, everything in particular, the hinge fittings, of the type hinge, comprising a fixed part made integral with the frame and a movable part which is fixed on the opening, these fixed and movable parts being intended to cooperate with each other through means articulation in the form of a bushing crossed by an axis. In fact, such means of articulations come to be located, beyond of the cover strip of the rear upright of the sash so they are necessarily visible. Apart from their unsightly character, these means of articulation, being outside the frame delimited by the opening, prove, in addition, bulky.

On this it will be observed that it is also known, in particular at through document FR-A-2.740.167, a hinge for a door or window whose opening is, precisely, provided with a strip of overlap applied on the frame. In fact, this hinge has, here, the particularity that its movable part includes a socket capable of being inserted into a milling machined in this opening cover strip so that the axis of the socket coincides with the axis of rotation of opening. In addition, to this socket are associated means of attachment to said cover strip.

In fact, it will be observed that if the sleeve of the movable part here comes to fade in the thickness of the strip of covering of the opening of the door, window or the like, all the elements making up the fixed part are located, him, applied on the sleeping frame, as the case above or below this opening. Also part of this hinge remains visible without counting that that can pose, in in some cases, a congestion problem. Indeed, it is not not uncommon that on both sides of the opening we do not have very little space due, for example, to the presence a tablet, or the proximity of the lintel.

There is also the problem with this type of hinge, whether fully or partially visible, accessibility to the adjustment means which equip them and which allow you to adjust the positioning of opening it in relation to the sleeping frame. Indeed, access to these means of adjustment is carried out, frequently, from below the hinge, especially when the hinge is the lower crossmember of the frame. However, as already specified above, we often have very little space between the sash and the window shelf so that access to these adjustment means is difficult or even impossible.

We also know, through the German document DE-93.01.655, a hinge fitting, in particular a corner support for door, window or the like, including the opening is fitted with a covering strip suitable for surface mounting on the sleeping frame. Said fitting comprises a movable part and a fixed part, the latter comprising means articulation, in the form of a ball joint, able to cooperate with additional articulation means, in the form of a socket, integral with the movable part reported in the rebate of the opening. It will be noted that these means of articulation are integrated in the cover strip of the opening, otherwise provided capable of accommodating the means of articulation of the fixed part. The part socket mobile of this fitting has a bore whose part upper receives an adjustment screw resting on a bottom disposed in the lower part of said bore. This background rests on the ball of said articulation means and can be moved, inside said bore, under the impulse of said adjusting screw in order to modify the height of opening it relative to the fixed frame. We will observe that the ball and the bottom and said adjusting screw of said hinge fittings are coaxial.

In fact, it should be noted that the articulation of this fitting is located in the very thickness of the strip of covering of the opening frame. Such a conception requires, then, to machine the frame of the opening in order to have, in the machining thus carried out, said hinge fitting. The presence of this machining has the effect of deporting, in the thickness of said covering strip, the joint thus that the adjusting screw which poses the problem of accessibility to the latter when it comes to proceeding adjusting the height of the sash.

Finally, it will be observed that the mounting of a sash on its sleeping frame, especially when the door or window is not of the tilt and turn type, but simply swivel, is obtained, frequently, lifting, slightly, opening it relative to the frame so as to obtain the engagement of the axis of the hinges in their socket. Of course, the disassembly of the opening is obtained by a reverse movement. However, it is not rare that above the opening there is no enough space to hang or hang this opening relative to the sleeping frame in the way that it has just been explained. Also, it is necessary, in this case to figure, to have hinges with removable axis. More specifically, both the moving part and the fixed part of a such a hinge comprise at least one socket intended for the receiving an axis that can be removed from below or by the top of the hinge. Obviously this makes something little more difficult the operation of mounting a sash on a sleeping frame, not to mention that this does nothing to space and aesthetic problems mentioned above. However such a solution, just like doors or windows tilt-and-turn type, offers the possibility of hanging, initially, opening it onto the sleeping frame at the level of the corner support therefore lying in part bottom of the door or window before ensuring their connection via the bearing support or as the case may be compass arm arranged in the upper part.

As for the articulation fittings coming to offset, somewhat, opening it outside the sleeping frame, so that the cover strip does not obstruct the opening of the door or window, these are usually compass arm mechanisms completely retracted into the rebate of this door or window.

Such mechanisms apart from the fact that they prove particularly complex, are often only adaptable small openings due to their mechanical strength limited.

As a result, if these compass arm mechanisms turn out, indeed, space-saving, and are able to contribute to better aesthetics of a door or window, they cannot meet all the needs in this area.

The present invention therefore proposes to respond to all of the above problems through a fitting not only can be made fully invisible once the door or window is closed, but which, in also offers great ease in adjusting the opening it relative to the sleeping frame thanks to a very good accessibility whatever the installation conditions from the door or window. In addition, such a fitting of articulation is fully compatible with opening of big size.

The present invention will be better understood on reading the following description relating to the attached drawings in which:

• Figure 1 is a schematic representation in section of a hinge fitting of the angle support type, according to the invention;
• Figure 2 is a schematic plan view of the fixed part, made integral with the sleeping frame, the corner support shown in Figure 1;
• Figure 3 is a schematic representation from below of the movable part corresponding to this angle support;
• Figure 4 is a schematic representation in section of a bearing support capable of ensuring the connection in the upper part between an opening and a frame corresponding to a door or window of the casement type, this bearing support being intended to be used in combination with a hinge fitting of the angle support type according to the invention and shown in Figures 1 to 3;
• Figure 5 is a schematic and plan view of the fixed part intended to be attached to the frame of the bearing support illustrated in Figure 4;
• FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic and plan representation of the movable part made integral with the opening and corresponding to the support of the bearing illustrated in FIG. 4.

As visible in the figures of the attached drawings, the present invention relates to the field of fittings articulation, in particular a corner support 1 intended for ensuring the bottom link of an opening 2 and a sleeping frame 3 a door, window or the like, at least of the pivoting type, knowing that such a corner support 1 is also applicable to tilt-and-turn doors or windows.

Ultimately, the hinge fitting plus particularly the corner support 1 which is discussed in of the present invention, will find its utility in the frame of an opening 2 provided with a covering strip 4 intended to be applied on the internal face 5 of the frame frame 3. Thus, this angle support 1 has a fixed part 6 and a movable part 7, the fixed part 6 being intended to be made integral with the sleeping frame 3, more particularly in rebate 8 of the latter, by means of attachment 9, while the movable part 7 is, it, reported in rebate 10 of the opening 2.

More specifically, these fixing means 9 of the fixed part 6 advantageously take the form of a plate support 11 able to be added to the rebate of the crosspiece lower 12 of the frame 3 knowing that for questions of rigidity, this support plate 11 can still be folded square, at its rear end 13 so as to present a perpendicular wing 14 able to extend in rebate the along the rear upright 15 of said sleeping frame 3.

The fixing means 9 corresponding to this fixed part 6 of the angle support 1 are further supplemented by a plate of fixing 16 mounted on the support plate 11 so adjustable at least in translation in one direction parallel to plane 17 of the door or window. More particularly, on said support plate 11 is mounted a eccentric 18 coming to cooperate with an opening 19 of shape suitable provided at the level of the fixing plate 16, so that under the rotation of this eccentric 18 and under the influence of guide means 20, this results in a linear movement of the fixing plate 16 on said support plate 11. In fact, it is, through such adjustment means allow angular adjustment of the position of the opening 2 relative to the sleeping frame 3. In indeed, said fixing plate 16 receives means articulation 21, in the form of a pin 22 or a socket intended to cooperate with the means of articulation complementary 23, in the form, respectively, of a socket 24 or an axis, equipping the movable part 7 of the angle support 1.

In fact, the particularity of the present invention consists in what these complementary articulation means 23, in the form of a socket 24 in the embodiment illustrated in the figures of the attached drawing, are integrated into the strip of overlap 4 of the opening 2, which makes it possible to invisible these complementary articulation means 23 and, in general, all the elements of the angle support 1, this while ensuring the positioning of the pivot axis 25 of the opening 2 relative to the sleeping frame 3, as close as possible to the rear edge 26 of the covering strip 4, at the level of the rear upright 27 of this opening 2.

It is understood that if the complementary means of articulation 23 are in the form of an axis integrated into said strip of covering 4 of the opening 2, this covering strip 4 is thus provided to accommodate, in addition, the socket intended for receive this axis and associated, in these conditions, with the part fixed 6 of the angle support 1, attached to the frame 3.

The complementary articulation means 23 are made integral with the opening 2 more particularly in rebate 10 of the latter via configuration means 28 appropriate. In the context of the embodiment illustrated in the figures of the attached drawings, these fixing means 28 are are in the form of a square wing 29 capable of extend, in part, along, on the one hand, the cross lower of the opening 2 and, on the other hand, of the rear upright of the last.

According to another feature of the present invention, the socket 24, defining the articulation means 21 or, depending on the case, the complementary articulation means 23, comprises a bore 30 provided with a bottom 31 on which is able to support the free end 32, preferably under shape of a ball joint, of the axis 22. This bottom 31 is, ultimately, designed as a separate piece from the socket 24 and whose positioning in the bore 30 of the latter is adjustable under the impulse of an adjustment screw 33 mounted in rotation in said socket 24 parallel to the axis of the bore 30 of the latter, so as to be accessible from the end 241 of this oriented bush 24 towards the horizontal median plane P of the door, window or similar.

More precisely, at the socket 24 the bore 30 communicates with a housing 34 extending parallel to its axis and in which said adjusting screw is rotatably mounted 33. Furthermore, the part defining the bottom 31 extends, it, laterally in said housing 34 by means of a part 35 in the form of a nut crossed by the adjusting screw 33. Thus, by rotating the latter it results in a axial displacement of the bottom 31 in the bore 30 which allows, ultimately, to adjust the vertical positioning of the opening 2 relative to the sleeping frame 3.

Since the free end 32 of the axis 22 is shaped, preferably, in the form of a ball joint, the part defining the bottom 31 in the bore 30 of the socket 24 advantageously constitutes a ball joint cage which of course allows rotation of the sash 2 relative to the frame dormant 3 around a vertical pivot axis 25, but, in besides a slight tilting of this opening 2 relative to the frame 3 around a substantially horizontal axis materialized by the lower cross member of said opening 2. This has the advantage of facilitating the mounting of this opening 2 on the frame 3, not to mention a fitting articulation, more particularly a corner support 1, thus configured is also applicable to doors or tilt-and-turn windows.

In addition, said part defining the bottom 31 is designed in a material with a low coefficient of friction, preferably self-lubricating type, ensuring operation without noise. Thus, this part could be designed in material synthetic. However, this type of material presents the disadvantage of wearing out more or less quickly in the time. Also, said part is defined symmetrical with respect to a median plane 36 perpendicular to the axis of the bore 30 in the sleeve 24 allowing it to be turned over in the event of wear.

In view of the above explanations, we obviously understand that there is the problem of hanging the opening 2 to the level of the frame 3, in the upper part of this last, especially when the door or window is simply swivel type, knowing that as part of a set tilt and turn, this connection is ensured by means of a bearing of compasses whose compass, precisely, greatly facilitates this hanging. Indeed, such a compass arm can easily be brought in cooperation, as the case may be with the sleeping frame or opening it even as it is held in a position spaced from said sleeping frame. He is reminded to this about that the solution sought through the invention is that applicable to non-hinged fittings visible.

Also, the present invention also relates to a fitting of articulation, more particularly a bearing support 1A intended to be used in combination with the corner support 1 described above and coming to ensure the connection, in the upper part, an opening 2 on a sleeping frame 3 in the case of a door or simply pivoting window. In fact, according to the invention, this bearing support 1A again consists of a fixed part 6A and a movable part 7A, the first being made integral with the rebate 8 of the frame 3, more particularly of the upper cross member 12A of the latter, while the movable part 7A is fixed in rebate of the opening 2 near its upper rear corner 37. At this About, the fixing means 28A corresponding to this part mobile 7A can again be in the form of a square wing 29A reported, precisely, in rebate of opening it 2.

As for the fixing means 9A making it possible to make integral the fixed part 6A in rebate at the crosspiece upper 12A of the frame 3, they are in the form a support plate 11A possibly shaped square and comprising, at its rear end 13A a wing 14A able to extend along the rear upright 15 of said sleeping frame 3. On this support plate 11A is, in addition, preferably mounted in an adjustable manner at least in translation in a direction parallel to plane 17 of the door or window, a fixing plate 16A.

In this regard, this connection between the support plate 11A and the fixing plate 16A is obtained by means of connecting means 38 of retractable nature. Preferably, these take the form of a buttonhole, on the plate support 11A being mounted in forced rotation a stud in the form of "T" 39 comprising a head 40 which, in a position given angle, is adjusted to the section of a light 41 formed at the level of the fixing plate 16A which is also made integral with the movable part 7A by via an articulation pivot 42. Just like the additional articulation means 23 associated with the part mobile 7 of the angle support 1, this articulation pivot 42 is integrated into the covering strip 4 of the opening 2 so to be positioned at the level of the pivot axis 25 of this last.

Finally and according to a feature of the present invention, the fixing plate 16A is movable, axially, on the pivot articulation 42 following a corresponding course 43, at least to the clearance existing between the rebate of the opening 2 and that of the sleeping frame 3 at the height, precisely, of their cross respective superior.

Such a configuration makes it possible, in fact, after having ensured the engagement of the axis 22 in the socket 24 at the level of the angle support 1, to position the fixing plate 16A, also integral with the movable part 7A of the support bearing 1A to the right of the support plate 11A. Then, by a upward movement of light 41 in this stage of fixing 16A is fitted onto the head 40 of the “T” pin 39. Finally the rotation of this “T” pin 39 makes it possible to integral with said fixing plate 16A relative to the support plate 11A thus ensuring the connection between the opening 2 and the frame 3.

Note that reservations made at the level of cover strip 4, substantially at the ends of the rear upright 27 of the opening 2 for the reception of a part, complementary articulation means 23 corresponding to the movable part 7 of the angle support 1 and by there, articulation means 21 of the fixed part 6, and on the other hand, the articulation pivot 42 corresponding to the bearing support 1A, can be provided through upper and lower part of said opening 2, so that the openings resulting therefrom at said strip of cover 4 can be closed by means of covers 44, 44A appropriate.

Finally, as appears from the above description, while offering all the necessary adjustment possibilities for a good adjustment of the position of the sash 2 by relative to the frame 3, the hinge fittings 1, 1A, according to the invention, are able to fade in rebate of the door, window or the like and partly under the blindfold covering 4 of the opening 2, without this being translated by a complex design of these articulation fittings, on the contrary. We will observe in this connection that they respond perfectly to the mechanical strength requirements encountered in the frame of large sashes.

Consequently, it must be considered that this invention was able to respond, advantageously, to all of the problems encountered through the state of the art.
