Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a hinge receptacle for a door hinge according to the preamble of claim 1 and to an arrangement of such a hinge receptacle on a door frame.

[0002] Such hinge receptacles, which are attached to a door hinge, serve to receive one or more fastening pins of a door hinge, which are arranged perpendicular to the pivot axis of the door hinge on the door hinge and are received in designated receiving pockets of the hinge receptacles.

[0003] The hinge pockets currently available on the market are made entirely of plastic or of steel or sheet steel. To aid centering and positioning when installing the hinge pockets in a door frame, many of these hinge pockets have two sleeves that fit into or are inserted into designated holes in the hinge.

[0004] Plastic hinge mounts have the disadvantage that their load-bearing capacity is limited and they deform more under stress. As a result, the hinges are not held in the intended position.

[0005] Steel sheet metal belt holders with two attached sleeves for centering are complex to manufacture. Commercially available belt holders of this type either have welded-on sleeves or are manufactured as a single piece using rolled sleeves.

[0006] Band mountings with rolled sleeves have the disadvantage that with thicker sheet metal thicknesses the outer diameter of the sleeves becomes increasingly larger, which leads to visual disadvantages in the installation situation and that the manufacturing process is multi-stage and complex.

[0007] EP 3 115 532 B1 describes a corresponding hinge receptacle for a door hinge. However, this hinge receptacle has the disadvantage that its load-bearing capacity is limited, since the receptacle body consists of a sheet metal part and therefore high rigidity cannot be achieved.

[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a hinge receptacle for a door hinge and an arrangement of such a hinge receptacle for a door hinge which eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantages and which is particularly easy to manufacture.

[0009] This problem is solved by a hinge receptacle for a door hinge with at least one fastening pin having the features of claim 1 and by an arrangement of a hinge receptacle on a door frame having the features of claim 11.

[0010] A hinge receptacle according to the invention for a door hinge with at least one fastening pin has a base body with a base plate that can be attached to a door frame and a contact piece that is bent at an angle at the edge, in particular at a right angle.

[0011] A mounting plate with at least one mounting pocket for receiving at least one fastening pin and with an internal thread for receiving a clamping screw is arranged on the base plate.

[0012] The tape recorder also features a front plate with at least one recording sleeve attached to it.

[0013] The front plate is inserted between the base plate, the mounting piece, and the mounting plate. At least one mounting sleeve is fixed in place by a mounting hole in the mounting piece.

[0014] The connection between the base plate and the mounting plate creates an element with very high rigidity.

[0015] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0016] According to an advantageous embodiment, at least one receiving sleeve has a different wall thickness than the material thickness of the receiving plate or the base plate. This allows for flexible adaptation to different diameters of bores in the door frame into which the receiving sleeve is inserted.

[0017] According to another advantageous embodiment, the front panel is made of a plastic material. This is made possible in particular by fixing the front panel to the base plate, which is stiffened by the mounting plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the use of a front panel made of a plastic material allows for the use of different colored materials.

[0019] According to an advantageous further development, at least one receiving sleeve is molded onto the front plate.

[0020] The resulting pin recess increases the accuracy when installing it in a door frame.

[0021] According to a further advantageous embodiment, the base plate and the receiving plate are permanently attached to each other by one or more forming operations.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, at least one deformation is produced by clinching.

[0023] This allows the use of a pin holder made of plastic material, since such a forming process eliminates the need for a thermal joining process, which would typically destroy a front panel made of plastic material.

[0024] According to a further advantageous embodiment, the hinge receptacle has a clamping plate with a bore through which, in the mounted state of the clamping plate, the clamping screw is passed and screwed into the internal thread of the receptacle plate, which serves to clamp a neck area of ​​the at least one fastening pin of the door hinge between the clamping plate and a surface of the receptacle pocket of the receptacle plate facing the clamping plate.

[0025] According to a further advantageous embodiment, the base body has a recess extending from the base plate into the mounting piece, which frames a sub-area of ​​the mounting piece in a U-shape and which has at least one receiving bore.

[0026] This allows for the creation of a flat mounting surface for the front plate of the pin holder.

[0027] According to a preferred embodiment, the mounting plate has exactly two receiving pockets for receiving a respective fastening pin of the door hinge, wherein the two receiving pockets are separated from each other by a flat area of ​​the mounting plate.

[0028] According to another advantageous embodiment, a spacer element with a passage for the clamping screw is arranged between the clamping plate and the receiving plate.

[0029] This enables a reliable friction-fit hold of the fastening pins.

[0030] The arrangement of a hinge receptacle on a door frame according to the invention is characterized by a hinge receptacle as described above.

[0031] The receiving sleeves are preferably guided in suitable bores in the door frame.

[0032] The following are examples of implementation explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show: Fig. 1 a perspective view of an embodiment of a tape recording device according to the invention in the assembled state, Fig. 2 a perspective view of the tape recording from Fig. 1 from a different perspective, Fig. 3 a perspective exploded view of the tape recording according to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 4 a perspective view of the in Fig. 1 shown hinge mounting, attached to a door frame and Fig. 5 a top view of the in Fig. 4 hinge mountings shown, attached to a door frame.

[0033] In the following figure descriptions, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc., refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the tape holder, base body, front plate, mounting pin, mounting sleeve, attachment piece, and the like as chosen in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood as restrictive; that is, these references may change due to different working positions, mirror-symmetrical design, or similar factors.

[0034] In the Fig. 1 and Fig. Reference numeral 1 designates a variant embodiment of a hinge receptacle according to the invention. The hinge receptacle 1 serves to receive a door hinge 8, as is partially used in the Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 is shown.

[0035] The door hinge 8 essentially consists of a vertically oriented post 81 for hanging a door 9 or (not shown) receiving sleeves attached to the door 9 and fastening pins 82 extending perpendicularly to the post on the door hinge 1, which are clamped in the hinge receptacle 1.

[0036] Instead of the two fastening pins 82 shown in the illustrated embodiment, it is also conceivable in principle that the door hinge 8 is designed with only one fastening pin 82 or more than two fastening pins 82.

[0037] The tape recording 1 itself shows, as in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 to Fig. Figure 3 shows a base body 2 with a base plate 21 which can be attached to a door frame 10 and a support piece 22 which is bent at an angle at the edge, in particular at a right angle.

[0038] The base plate 21 has several holes 25 through which screws 11 can be screwed to fasten the base body 2 to a side surface of the door frame 10.

[0039] The attachment piece 22, when mounted on the door frame 10, rests against the back of a front cover of the door frame 10.

[0040] The tape recording 1 further includes a recording plate 3 arranged on the base plate 21.

[0041] The mounting plate 3 has at least one mounting pocket 32 ​​for receiving the at least one fastening pin 82.

[0042] In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting plate 3 has two such receiving pockets 32 in which, in the assembled state, the two fastening pins 82 of the door hinge 8 are inserted, as shown in Fig. 4 is recognizable.

[0043] Tabs 31 extend to the sides of the receiving pockets 32, by means of which the receiving plate 3 is fixed to the base plate, as will be explained in more detail below.

[0044] In the exemplary embodiment shown, the receiving plate 3 with two receiving pockets 32 is separated from each other by a flat area 35 of the receiving plate 3.

[0045] The mounting plate 3 also has an internal thread 33 for receiving a clamping screw 5.

[0046] The clamping screw 5 serves to clamp the fastening pins 82 in the mounting pockets 32. For this purpose, the clamping screw 5 presses, as shown in the Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows a clamping plate 6 in the direction of the fastening pins 82 located in the receiving pockets 32. The fastening pins 82 are clamped by tightening the clamping screw 5 in the internal thread 33 of the receiving plate 3.

[0047] The base plate 21 and the receiving plate 3 are preferably permanently attached to each other by one or more deformations 34.

[0048] The base plate 21 and the receiving plate 3 are preferably connected to each other by clinching.

[0049] In the illustrated embodiment, material from the base plate 21 is pressed into the tabs 31 of the receiving plate using a punch, so that after clinching, blind holes 26 are formed on the side of the base plate 21 facing away from the receiving plate 3, and annular protrusions are formed on the tabs 31 on the side of the receiving plate 3 facing away from the base plate 21, which together with the material from the base plate 21 pressed into the tabs form the deformations 34.

[0050] What's next in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, a spacer element 7 with a passage for the clamping screw 5 is arranged between the clamping plate 6 and the receiving plate 3.

[0051] The spacer element 7 is preferably designed as a cylindrical ring.

[0052] The width of this spacer element 7 is dimensioned such that when the clamping plate 6 is pressed against the fastening pins 82, these are not deformed too much.

[0053] One end edge of the spacer element 7 rests against a flat inner surface of the clamping plate 6 and an opposite end edge of the spacer element 7 rests against the flat area 35 of the receiving plate 3.

[0054] To guide the fastening pins 82 and to easily align the hinge receptacle 1 on the door frame 10, the hinge receptacle 1 further has a front plate 41 with at least one receiving sleeve 42 arranged on it.

[0055] In the illustrated embodiment, two such receiving sleeves 42 are arranged on the front plate 41.

[0056] The front plate 41 is inserted between the base plate 21, the mounting piece 22 and the mounting plate 3.

[0057] At least one receiving sleeve 42 is connected by a receiving bore 23, as shown in Fig. 3, fixed in position in the installation piece 22.

[0058] The at least one receiving sleeve 42 is preferably integrally formed on the front plate 41, so that the front plate 41 together with the at least one receiving sleeve 42 forms a pin receptacle 4 which is formed in one piece, which facilitates assembly and ensures an exact alignment of the tape receptacle 1.

[0059] The front plate 41 and the mounting sleeves 42 are preferably made of a plastic material, which allows the pin receptacle 4 to be made of different colored materials.

[0060] Furthermore, the axial length of the receiving sleeves 42 can be easily adapted to different material thicknesses of the door frames by manufacturing the pin receptacle 4 from a plastic material.

[0061] Furthermore, at least one receiving sleeve 42 preferably has a different wall thickness than the material thickness of the receiving plate 3 or the base plate 21. By varying the wall thickness of the receiving sleeve 42, it can be adapted to different diameters of bores in the door frame.

[0062] In order to be able to clamp the fastening pins 82 of the door hinge 8 after the fastening pins 82 have been inserted into the receiving pockets 32, the base body 2 has a recess 24 extending from the base plate 21 to the mounting piece 22, which frames a sub-area of ​​the mounting piece 22 in a U-shape and which has at least one receiving bore 23.

[0063] Through this recess 24, the screw head 51 of the clamping screw 5 can be reached with a tool.

[0064] Furthermore, such a section of the plant component 22 in the vicinity of the receiving bores 23 can be designed as a flat surface wider than more outwardly located areas of the plant component 22.
