Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a hinge for a door having a covering element. Background Art

[0002] The hinge generally comprises: a first fixed body, which can be mounted on the door frame or on the door leaf or door; a second fixed body, which can be mounted on the door or door leaf or on the door frame; a connecting device, which connects the first fixed body and the second fixed body so as to enable relative movement (usually rotation) between the closed configuration (i.e. when the door or door leaf is closed) and the open configuration (i.e. when the door or door leaf is open). The two fixed bodies can be recessed into corresponding "cut-out" seats, either recessed in the door frame or recessed in the door or door leaf. Usually, in this case, in the closed configuration, they define a seat in which the connecting device is housed, so that when the door or door leaf is closed, the hinge is essentially invisible from both sides of the door or door leaf.

[0003] The hinge body generally comprises a central portion and two end portions located at opposite ends of the central portion. These end portions comprise flange areas where means for fastening to the door frame or the door leaf or the door are formed and / or accommodated, such means for fastening to the door frame or the door leaf or the door, for example through-holes for fastening screws. Consequently, the front face of the flange area generally comprises functional elements (such as holes for fastening screws, abutment and blocking elements, etc.) which are visible on the front face itself, resulting in a non-optimal visual effect when the door is open and the front face is therefore visible.

[0004] To address this issue, a covering element is applied to each of the front faces of the flange area in question. The covering element is secured to the respective front face using locking or engaging mechanisms, and in some cases, screws. These mechanisms are sometimes imprecise or difficult to apply or remove. In the case of screws, the head of the screw remains visible even when the front face of the flange area is covered. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a hinge for a door with a cover element, wherein the cover element can be easily applied to or removed from the front face of the corresponding flange area without causing any negative visual effects on the front face of the corresponding flange area. A further object of the present invention is to provide a hinge for a door with a cover element, wherein the positioning of the cover element is stable and precise. The door according to the present application may be a furniture door.

[0006] According to the present invention, these and other objects that will become more apparent from the following description are achieved by a hinge with a covering element for a door according to the present application. The present invention will be described in more detail below with the aid of the accompanying drawings, which show only exemplary and non-limiting embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a hinge 1 for a door with a covering element includes a first hinge body 1a and a second hinge body 1b connected together by a connecting device 2. The connecting device 2 enables relative movement between a first configuration corresponding to an open state of the hinge 1 and a second configuration corresponding to a closed state of the hinge 1. In some embodiments, the door may be a furniture door. The open state of the hinge 1 corresponds to an open state of the door or door leaf. The closed state of the hinge 1 corresponds to a closed state of the door or door leaf. The door frame and the door or door leaf are not shown in the accompanying drawings. The relative movement of the first hinge body 1a with respect to the second hinge body 1b (and vice versa) of the second hinge body 1b with respect to the first hinge body 1a is generally a rotational movement about an axis (this axis is generally vertical) which can be fixed or movable in space, wherein the movement depends on the geometry of the hinge 1 and in particular on the characteristics of the connection device 2 of the hinge 1.

The partial portions 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b of the respective flange portions 11a, 12a, 11b, 12b may be made using one or more permanent magnets or permanent magnet portions. The at least one partial portion 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b of the respective flange portions 11a, 12a, 11b, 12b can be formed using one or more regions of the permanent magnetic material of the flange portions 11a, 12a, 11b, 12b that have been previously subjected to a strong magnetic field until permanent magnetization with desired characteristics is achieved. The at least one partial portion 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b of the respective flange portions 11a, 12a, 11b, 12b can also be formed by dispersing a certain percentage of a material having magnetic properties that generates a magnetic field acting on a portion sensitive to the magnetic field into a localized region of a base having no magnetic properties. In particular, the permanent magnet portions or the permanently magnetized material can be dispersed in a desired direction.

[0028] The means of magnetic interaction between the considered covering elements 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b and the corresponding flange portions 11a, 12a, 11b, 12b also include at least one local portion of the covering elements 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b, at least one local portion of the covering elements 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b being made of a material that is sensitive to and attracted by the magnetic field, and when the covering elements 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b are brought close to the corresponding flange portions 11a, 12a, 11b, 12b When the front face 110a, 120a, 110b, 120b of the cover element 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b is attached to the front face 110a, 120a, 110b, 120b, at least one partial portion of the cover element 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b is affected by the magnetic field generated by the at least one partial portion 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b of the corresponding flange portion 11a, 12a, 11b, 12b, thereby achieving the cover element 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b being removably attached to the front face 110a, 120a, 110b, 120b itself. The at least one partial portion of the cover element 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b can be made of one or more parts of a material with a predetermined magnetic susceptibility, so that the at least one partial portion of the cover element 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b can be subjected to the magnetic field generated by the at least one partial portion 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b of the corresponding flange portion 11a, 12a, 11b, 12b in a desired manner. This effect can be achieved in particular by dispersing portions of a material having a predetermined magnetic susceptibility value in one or more regions / segments of a matrix of material having a lower magnetic susceptibility, from which the covering elements 13a, 14a, 13b, 14b are made. This effect can also be achieved by inserting regions or elements of material having a predetermined magnetic susceptibility value into appropriate seats in this matrix.

In the closed state of the hinge 1, the connecting device 2 is accommodated in a seat defined by the combination of the first hinge body 1a and the second hinge body 1b. In this way, the hinge 1 can be hidden (not visible from both sides of the door or door leaf).

[0036] The present invention achieves important advantages. In particular, it provides a system for covering the front face of the flange portion of a hinge that allows for an aesthetic / visual effect without any defects that could detract from the aesthetic impression or obstruct the visibility of functional elements. The engagement between the covering element and the corresponding flange portion is reliable and precise. The invention thus conceived is susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all of which fall within the scope of the inventive concept that characterizes the invention.
