3-d adjustable concealed hinge for flush or rabbet joint door or window applications

Abstract

Adjustable concealed or invisible hinges for mounting a door panel or sash to a frame are provided that can be used for both rabbet joint or flush mount applications using the same hinge. This is made possible due to the use of two different types of arm systems that connect the frame portion of the hinge with the sash or door portion. These include a rotating lever arm system that allows for 180° guided rotational movement that is combined with a translational arm system that simultaneously superimposes translational movement of the sash movable body relative to the sash body.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to door or window hinges, and more particularly to concealed or hidden hinges for use in flush or tongue-and-groove door or window applications. Background Technology

[0002] Concealed hinges are known to be used to mount door or window sashes to a frame. However, different types of hinges are typically used to mount tongue-and-groove door or window sashes, compared to flush-mounted hinges. This is because the overlapping edge of the tongue-and-groove door or window sash must be taken into account during hinge movement in order to lift it off the frame while moving it back from the opening, such that this overlapping edge moves away from the clear opening in the frame.

[0003] Known existing hinges are generally only suitable for a single application, namely tongue-and-groove or flush-mount installation of doors or windows, and cannot be used for other applications.

[0004] These hinges also allow for simple and convenient adjustment in three directions, enabling precise side-to-side and up-and-down adjustment of door panels or window sashes parallel to the corresponding frame for proper positioning and proper sealing during entry and exit.

[0005] The desired type of hinge is to be provided, which can be used for both flush-mounted and tongue-and-groove door or window sashes. Furthermore, simplified installation and adjustment are also desired. Summary of the Invention

[0006] A hinge for mounting a door panel or window sash to a frame is provided, which solves the aforementioned problems. The hinge includes a frame portion adapted for fixing to the frame, having a frame mounting portion with a cavity, and a frame body mounted in the cavity, wherein the frame body includes a first recess and a second recess. The hinge also includes a door or window sash portion adapted for fixing to a door or window sash, having a movable door or window sash mounting portion, a window sash body connected to the movable door or window sash mounting portion, and a movable window sash body slidably mounted on the window sash body by a slidable mounting device, the movable window sash body including the first recess and the second recess. (Although these are referred to as “window sash” portions for convenience, it is understood that they can be used for window sashes or doors.) A rotary lever arm system is connected between the frame body and the movable window sash body, the system being at least partially located in the first recess of the frame body and the movable window sash body. The rotating lever arm system includes a frame lever arm and a sash lever arm. The frame lever arm includes an FB side and an SMB side, as well as an intermediate position located at a point between the FB side and the SMB side. The sash lever arm also includes an FB side and an SMB side, as well as an intermediate position located at a point between the FB side and the SMB side. A rotating pin connects the frame lever arm at the intermediate position to the sash lever arm at the intermediate position for pivoting movement. A first rotating arm pin pivotally connects the SMB side of the frame lever arm to the movable sash body. A second rotating arm pin pivotally connects the FB side of the sash lever arm to the frame body. An FB guide protrusion on the FB side of the frame lever arm is received in an FB rotation guide groove in a first groove of the frame body, while an SMB guide protrusion on the SMB side of the sash lever arm is received in an SMB rotation guide groove in a first groove of the movable sash body. The first translation arm system is also connected between the frame, the movable window sash, and the window sash body. The first translation arm system is at least partially located in a second recess of the frame and the movable window sash body and includes a first translation lever arm having a first end and a second end, and a second translation lever arm having an FB side and an SB side. A translation FB guide protrusion is located on the FB side of the second translation lever arm. The pivot connection point of the first translation lever arm is located between the FB side and the SB side of the second translation lever arm, while the pivot connection point of the window sash body is located on the SB side. A first translation pin pivotally connects the first end of the first translation lever arm to the pivot connection point of the first translation lever arm on the second translation lever arm. A second translation pin pivotally connects the second end of the first translation lever arm to the movable window sash body. A third translation pin pivotally connects the pivot connection point of the second translation lever arm to the window sash body. The translation guide protrusion on the FB side of the second translation lever arm is received in a translation guide groove in the second recess of the frame. The first, second, and third translation pins, as well as the first and second swivel arm pins, extend along axes parallel to each other. The use of both the swivel arm system and the translation arm system allows the hinge to be used in both tongue-and-groove and flush-mount applications.

[0007] The window sash body is preferably adjustable to the movable door or window sash mounting portion to allow relative movement that is adapted to adjust the gasket pressure of the movable door or window sash connected to the frame via hinges.

[0008] In one device, a movable window sash includes a third recess, and a first recess of the movable window sash is located between a second and a third recess of the movable window sash. A frame includes a third recess, and a first recess of the frame is located between the second and a third recess of the frame, with the first, second, and third recesses of the movable window sash aligned with the first, second, and third recesses of the frame, respectively. A second translation arm system is connected between the frame, the movable window sash, and the window sash body, and the second translation arm system is at least partially located within the third recess of the frame and the movable window sash. The second translation arm system is identical to the first translation arm system.

[0009] In one embodiment, the movable window sash is slidably mounted on the window sash body via first and second posts on the window sash body, the posts extending parallel to each other into first and second channels defined by a slidably fitted base of the movable window sash body, and into second and third recesses. The first and second posts include post pivot attachment ends extending into the second and third recesses, and a third translation pin of each of the first and second translation arm systems is connected to the window sash body at the post pivot attachment ends of the first and second posts, respectively.

[0010] The hinge is movable from a closed position to an open position. In the closed position, the window sash and frame are generally aligned with each other, the movable window sash is inserted into the window sash, and the first, second, and third recesses of the movable window sash and the first, second, and third recesses of the frame are aligned and facing each other. A rotary lever arm system and first and second translational arm systems are located in corresponding groups within the first, second, and third recesses of the movable window sash and frame. In the open position, the window sash and frame are adjacent to each other, the movable window sash is moved to a position extending from the window sash, and the frame and window sash lever arms and translational second lever arms extend from their respective recesses. This provides a hinge arrangement suitable for tongue-and-groove mounting applications or flush mounting applications.

[0011] In the preferred arrangement, the movement of the hinge to the open position causes the translational first lever arm acting on the movable window sash to move in conjunction with the movement of the translational second lever arm pivoting around the window sash body pivot point connecting the translational second lever arm to the window sash body, so as to move the movable window sash body to the extended position.

[0012] Preferably, there are two FB guide protrusions located on opposite edges of the FB side of the frame lever arm, and two FB rotary guide slots located on opposite walls of the first recess of the frame body, wherein each of the FB guide protrusions is located in a corresponding one of the FB rotary guide slots. Preferably, the FB rotary guide slots extend substantially linearly and are parallel to each other in the opposite walls of the first recess of the frame body. As used herein, this term generally refers to a value of + / -10%, or an angle of + / -10. Regarding the linear path, variation within + / -2 mm of the ideal line is permitted.

[0013] In one embodiment, there are two SMB guide protrusions located on opposite edges of the SMB side of the window sash lever arm, and two SMB rotation guide grooves located in opposite walls of the first recess of the window sash movable body, wherein each of the SMB guide protrusions is located in a corresponding one of the SMB rotation guide grooves. Preferably, the SMB guide grooves extend substantially linearly and are parallel to each other in the opposite walls of the first recess of the window sash movable body.

[0014] In one embodiment, there are two translation guide protrusions located on opposite edges of the FB side of the translation second lever arm, and two translation guide grooves on opposite walls of the second recess, wherein each of the translation guide protrusions is located in a corresponding one of the translation guide grooves. Preferably, the translation guide grooves extend parallel to each other in a curved path in the opposite walls of the second recess.

[0015] Preferably, the frame body is adjustablely mounted in the frame mounting section. This preferably allows for vertical and side-to-side adjustment to center the window sash or door within the frame.

[0016] In one device, the frame lever arm includes a gap between the FB side and the SMB side, the sash lever arm extends through the gap, and the connection between the frame lever arm at the middle position of the frame lever arm and the sash lever arm at the middle position of the sash lever arm is in the area of ​​the gap.

The term "general" has the meaning mentioned above. In this description, certain components are referred to as "window sash" components for convenience only, and it is to be understood that these components can be used for window sashes or doors. This term includes the words specifically mentioned above, their derivatives, and words with similar meanings.

[0056] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The image shows a hinge 10 for mounting a door or window sash 12 to a frame 14, wherein the same hinge 10 has two different mounting configurations. Figure 1 The diagram shows a tongue-and-groove joint installation, in which the door or window sash 12 includes a lip 13 that overlaps with the frame 14 in the closed position. Figure 2 A flush mounting is shown, where the door or window sash 12 is flush with the frame 14 when the hinge 10 is in the closed position. An optional washer 155 is shown between the door or window sash 12 and the frame 14. However, this can also be omitted. It should be noted that... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dimensions shown are exemplary and can be changed depending on the specific application.

[0057] Figure 3-6 The fully assembled hinge 10 is shown. Hinge 10 includes a frame portion 20 adapted to be fixed to frame 14, and a door or window sash portion 40 adapted to be fixed to door or window sash 12. These are connected by a rotary lever arm system 80 and at least a first translation arm system 110. In a preferred embodiment, a second translation arm system 110' is also provided connecting the frame portion 20 and the door or window sash portion 40.

[0058] Figure 4 Hinge 10 is shown in the open position, while Figure 5 Hinge 10 is shown in the closed position. Figure 6 Hinge 10 is shown in the partially open position.

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As specifically shown, the frame portion 20 includes a frame mounting portion 22 having a cavity 24 and a frame body 30 mounted in the cavity 24. The frame body 30 includes a first recess 32A and a second recess 32B. A third recess 32C is preferably also provided, however, this is optional.

[0060] The door or window sash portion 40 includes a movable door or window sash portion 42 and a window sash body 50 connected to the movable door or window sash portion 42. Preferably, by means of... Figure 14 and 18 The sliding mounting device 65, best shown in section -20, slidably mounts the movable window sash 60 onto the window sash body 50. The movable window sash 60 includes a first recess 62A and a second recess 62B. In a preferred embodiment, a third recess 62C is also provided on the movable window sash 60.

[0061] As described in detail below, the rotary lever arm system 80 is preferably arranged in the first recess 32A of the frame body 30 and the first recess 62A of the movable window sash 60. The first translation arm system 110 is preferably located in the second recess 32B of the frame body 30 and the second recess 62B of the movable window sash 60. When present, the second translation arm system 110' is preferably arranged in the third recess 32C of the frame body 30 and the third recess 62C of the movable window sash 60.

[0062] refer to Figure 7-13 The rotary lever arm system 80, connecting the frame 30 and the movable window sash 60, is described in detail. The rotary lever arm system 80 provides 180° of supported and guided rotational movement of the door or window sash portion 40, allowing the door or window sash portion 40 to move from its normally closed position aligned with the frame 30 (e.g., ...). Figure 9 (As shown) Move it to an open position that is spaced apart from but adjacent to the frame body 30, such as Figure 11 As shown. In Figure 9 In the closed position shown, the rotary lever arm system 80 is at least partially, and preferably almost entirely, located within the first recesses 32A, 62A of the frame body 30 and the movable window sash body 60, as... Figure 9 As shown in the image.

[0063] The rotary lever arm system 80 includes a frame lever arm 82 (in) Figure 12 and 13 (As shown in detail), it includes an FB side 83 and an SMB side 84, and an intermediate position 85 located at the point between the FB side 83 and the SMB side 84. The rotary lever arm system 80 also includes a sash lever arm 90, which includes an FB side 91 and an SMB side 92, and an intermediate position 93 located at the point between the FB side 91 and the SMB side 92 of the sash lever arm 90. A rotary pin 98 connects the frame lever arm 82 at the intermediate position 85 of the frame lever arm to the sash lever arm 90 at the intermediate position 93 of the sash lever arm for pivoting movement. Preferably, the frame lever arm 82 includes a slot 88 between the FB side 83 and the SMB side 84, and the sash lever arm 90 extends through the slot 88. The connection between the frame lever arm 82 at the intermediate position 85 of the frame lever arm and the sash lever arm 90 at the intermediate position 93 of the sash lever arm is in the area of ​​the slot 88, as shown in detail. Figure 12 As shown in detail below.

[0064] The first rotating arm pin 99 pivotally connects the SMB side 84 of the frame lever arm 82 to the movable window sash 60. The second rotating arm pin 100 pivotally connects the FB side 91 of the window sash lever arm 90 to the frame 30. The positions of these first rotating arm pins 99 and second rotating arm pins 100 are [missing information]. Figure 32 It is clearer from the bottom of hinge 10.

[0065] An FB guide protrusion 86A is located on the FB side 83 of the frame lever arm 82, and this protrusion is received in an FB guide groove 34A in the first recess 32A of the frame body 30. In a preferred embodiment, there are two of the FB guide protrusions 86A and 86B located on opposite edges of the FB side 83 of the frame lever arm 82, and two of the FB guide grooves 34A and 34B located in opposite walls 35 and 36 of the first recess 32A of the frame body 30. See also Figure 7 and 32 Each of the FB guide protrusions 86A and 86B is located in a corresponding one of the FB guide slots 34A and 34B. This is in Figure 7 , 8 The figures 32 and 34 are shown most clearly. As shown in these figures, the FB guide grooves 34A and 34B extend generally linearly and are parallel to each other in the opposing walls 35 and 36 of the first recess 32A of the frame body 30. Figure 7 and 13 As shown, in the open position, the groove is lower at a position away from the door or window sash portion 40, and extends to a higher position on the side adjacent to the door or window sash portion 40 in the open position.

[0066] like Figure 12 and 25 As shown, the FB guide protrusions 86A and 86B can be integrated with the frame lever arm 82. Figures 34-36 As shown, the FB guide protrusions 86A' and 86B' can also be formed as independent inserts made of a plastic bearing material, such as polyamide, which are pressed into corresponding openings in the frame lever arm 82' used in the same manner as the frame lever arm 82. The plastic bearing material can make the stroke in the FB guide grooves 34A and 34B smoother and more wear-resistant.

[0067] In addition, such as Figure 12 , 35 As shown in Figures 36 and 37, the plastic bearing 101 (e.g., made of polyamide) can also be pressed into an opening in the SMB side 84 of the frame lever arms 82, 82', through which the first rotating arm pin 99 is inserted to provide smoother movement and increase wear.

[0068] like Figure 13 and 32As best shown, an SMB guide protrusion 94A is located on the SMB side 92 of the window sash lever arm 90, and this SMB guide protrusion 94A is received in an SMB rotation guide groove 64A in the first groove 62A of the window sash movable body 60. Preferably, there are two of the SMB guide protrusions 94A and 94B located on opposite edges of the SMB side 92 of the window sash lever arm 90, and there are two of the SMB rotation guide grooves 64A and 64B located in opposite walls 69A and 69B of the first groove 62A of the window sash movable body 60. Each of the SMB guide protrusions 94A and 94B is located in a corresponding one of the SMB rotation guide grooves 64A and 64B.

[0069] like Figure 12 and 25 As shown, the SMB guide protrusions 94A and 94B can be integrated with the window sash lever arm 90. Alternatively, the SMB guide protrusions 94A' and 94B' can be formed as separate inserts made of a plastic bearing material, such as polyamide, which are pressed into corresponding openings in the window sash lever arm 90' used in the same manner as the window sash lever arm 90, such as... Figure 34 , 37 As shown in Figure 38, the plastic bearing material allows for smoother and more wear-resistant strokes in the SMB rotary guide grooves 64A and 64B.

[0070] In addition, such as Figure 12 , 37 As shown in Figures 38 and 39, a plastic bearing 102 (e.g., made of polyamide) may also be pressed into the opening in the FB side 91 of the window sash lever arms 90, 90' where the second rotating arm pin 100 is inserted, and at the location of the rotating pin 98, to provide smoother movement and increase wear.

[0071] like Figure 8 , 13 As shown in detail in Figure 25, the SMB rotary guide grooves 64A and 64B extend generally linearly and are parallel to each other in the opposing walls 69A and 69B of the first recess 62A of the movable window sash 60. Figure 19 and Figure 25 As best seen in the center, these SMB rotating guide grooves 64A, 64B extend generally upward from the base 68 of the movable window sash 60 toward the upper surface of the movable window sash 60.

[0072] The movement provided by the rotary lever arm system 80 between the frame portion 20 and the door or window sash portion 40 is a controlled rotation of 180°, such as... Figure 9-11As shown, when the frame lever arm 82 and the window sash lever arm 90 pivot relative to each other about the rotating pin 98, the rotation is limited by the first rotating arm pin 99 and the second rotating arm pin 100, as well as the FB guide protrusion 86A sliding in the FB guide groove 34A and the SMB guide protrusion 94A sliding in the SMB rotating guide groove 64A.

[0073] Now for reference Figure 14-19 The first translation arm system 110 will be explained in detail. The first translation arm system 110 connects the frame body 30, the movable window sash body 60, and the window sash body 50. For example... Figure 15 As shown, when the hinge 10 is in the closed position, the first translation arm system 110 is at least partially, and preferably mostly, located in the second recesses 32B, 62B of the frame body 30 and the movable window sash body 60.

[0074] The first translation arm system 110 includes a first translation lever arm 112 having a first end 113 and a second end 114. A second translation lever arm 120 is provided, having an FB side 121 and an SB side 122. A translation FB guide protrusion 124 is located on the FB side 121 of the second translation lever arm 120. Preferably, the first translation FB guide protrusion 124A and the second translation FB guide protrusion 124B are located on opposite edges of the FB side 121 of the second translation lever arm 120. A pivot connection point 126 of the first translation lever arm is located between the FB side 121 and the SB side 122 of the second translation lever arm 120. A window sash body pivot connection point 128 is located at the SB side 122.

[0075] The first translation pin 131 pivotally connects the first end 113 of the translation first lever arm 112 to the translation first lever arm pivot connection point 126 on the translation second lever arm 120, forming a pivot between the translation first lever arm 112 and the translation second lever arm 120. The second translation pin 132 pivotally connects the second end 114 of the translation first lever arm 112 to the movable window sash body 60. The third translation pin 133 pivotally connects the window sash body pivot connection point 128 of the translation second lever arm 120 to the window sash body 50. In addition, the translation FB guide protrusion 124 on the FB side of the translation second lever arm 120 is received in the translation guide groove 44A in the second groove 32B of the frame body 30. Preferably, there are two of the translation guide grooves 44A and 44B on the opposite walls 37 and 38 of the second groove 32B, and each of the first translation guide protrusion 124A and the second translation guide protrusion 124B is located in the corresponding one of the translation guide grooves 44A and 44B.

[0076] like Figure 19 and 25As shown in detail in -27, the translation guide grooves 44A and 44B extend parallel to each other in a curved path in the opposite walls 37 and 38 of the second groove 32B.

[0077] The first translation FB guide protrusion 124A and the second translation FB guide protrusion 124B can be integrated with the translation second lever arm 120, or held in place by pins, such as... Figure 18 , 19 As shown in Figure 25. Alternatively, the FB guide protrusions 124A', 124B' can be formed as separate inserts made of a plastic bearing material, such as polyamide, which are pressed into corresponding openings in the translational second lever arm 120' that can be used in the same manner as the translational second lever arm 120, as shown in Figure 25. Figure 34 and 39 As shown in the diagram, the plastic bearing material provides smoother travel and wear resistance in the translation guide grooves 44A and 44B.

[0078] In addition, such as Figure 34 and 39 As shown, for example, a plastic bearing 103 made of polyamide can also be pressed into an opening located at the pivot connection point 126 of the first translational lever arm 120, 120' when the first translational pin 131 is inserted, and at the pivot connection point 128 of the window sash body 120, 120' when the third translational pin 133 is inserted, to provide smoother movement and increase wear.

[0079] This device of the first translation arm system works in conjunction with the controlled rotational movement provided by the rotary lever arm system 80, so that the hinge 10 can move from... Figure 15 The closed position shown is moved to Figure 17 In the open position shown, the movable window sash 60 extends from the window sash body 50. This translational movement is generated by a first translational lever arm 112, which acts as a lever, to slide the movable window sash 60 away from the window sash body 50 according to the movement provided by the second translational lever arm 120 being pulled out from its closed position when the hinge 10 moves from the closed position to the open position.
