Description

[0001] The invention relates to a hinge for detachably and pivotably connecting a wing, in particular in the form of a door and / or a flap, with a base part, in particular in the form of a frame.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a system comprising a wing, in particular in the form of a door and / or a flap, a base part, in particular in the form of a frame, and at least one hinge, wherein the wing can be detachably and pivotably connected to the base part by means of the hinge, and wherein, in the state connected to the base part, the wing can be pivoted relative to the base part about a pin axis of the hinge between a closed position for closing an access and an open position for at least partially releasing the access.

[0003] Hinges for the detachable and pivotable connection of a leaf to a base are known in various designs and are used in diverse applications. A common application of hinges is the mounting of doors to their corresponding frames. For example, hinges are used to mount front doors and interior doors to designated door frames, as well as furniture doors to frames formed by the furniture carcasses. Hinges are also used in electrical cabinets, which are often made of sheet metal, to mount one or more cabinet doors to a frame. Another common application of hinges is the mounting of flaps to corresponding bases, which are often also designed as frames. Flaps typically serve to open and close access to a wide variety of containers.

[0004] Regardless of the design of the sash and the base, the sash is typically mounted to the base by creating one or more hinge connections between the sash and the base. For each hinge connection, a hinge pin element, which has a hinge pin extending along a pin axis, is often first attached to the sash, and a hinge pin receptacle element, which has a receptacle for at least partially receiving the hinge pin, is attached to the base, or vice versa. The hinge pin attached to the sash or the base is then inserted along its pin axis into the receptacle attached to the other component, thus creating the hinge connection.Hinges are also known that have two pin-receiving elements, each with a pin receptacle, and a hinge pin extending along a pin axis. With such hinges, to create a hinge connection, one of the pin-receiving elements is typically attached to the wing and the base part, and then the pin-receiving elements attached to the wing and the base part are brought into a defined position relative to each other so that the hinge pin can be inserted along the pin axis into the two pin receptacles of the different pin-receiving elements.

[0005] The wing is disassembled from the base by releasing the one or more hinge connections that exist between the wing and the base. Depending on the hinge design, this is generally done by pulling the hinge pin of the pin element attached to the wing or the base along its axis out of the pin receptacle attached to the corresponding other component, or by pulling the hinge pin along its axis out of the two pin receptacles of the pin receptacle elements attached to the wing and the base. CA2885943A1 discloses an example of such a hinge.

[0006] In practice, hinges must meet various, sometimes conflicting, requirements. Hinges should allow for quick and easy mounting of the sash to the base and dismounting of the sash from the base. At the same time, it must be ensured that the hinge connection between the sash and the base does not unintentionally loosen when the sash pivots relative to the base, even under high loads. Finally, hinges should be easy and inexpensive to manufacture. Current hinge designs do not adequately meet these requirements.

[0007] The invention is therefore based on the objective of designing and further developing the aforementioned and previously described hinge and the aforementioned and previously described system in such a way that, with low manufacturing costs of the hinge, a hinge connection between a wing and a base part can be easily and quickly made and released, and at the same time an unintentional loosening of the hinge connection is reliably avoided.

[0008] This problem is solved by a hinge for detachably and pivotably connecting a wing, in particular in the form of a door and / or a flap, to a base part, in particular in the form of a frame, comprising: a hinge pin extending along a pin axis, and at least one pin receiving element having a pin receptacle for at least partially receiving the hinge pin, wherein the hinge pin is adjustable relative to the pin receiving element at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis between a pivot position received at least partially in the pin receptacle and a mounting position arranged outside the pin receptacle, wherein the pin receiving element and the hinge pin are pivotable relative to each other about the pin axis in the pivot position, and wherein a locking element is provided.which is adjustable between a locking position to secure the hinge pin against unintentional movement from the pivot position to the mounting position, at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis, and a release position to release the movement of the hinge pin from the pivot position to the mounting position, at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis.

[0009] The hinge according to the invention is thus designed to detachably connect a wing to a base part in such a way that the wing can be pivoted relative to the base part. The hinge has a hinge pin that extends along a pin axis. Advantageously, the pin axis can be the longitudinal axis of the hinge pin. In addition to the hinge pin, the hinge has at least one pin receiving element with a pin receptacle designed such that the hinge pin can be at least partially received therein. For the sake of simplicity, the pin receptacle can be formed by the pin receiving element itself. Alternatively, it may be advantageous for the pin receiving element to have at least one fastening means for attaching the pin receiving element to the wing or the base part. This enables simple and stable attachment of the hinge to the wing or the base part.For the same reason, it may also be advantageous, either alternatively or additionally, for the hinge pin to be part of a pin element that includes at least one fastening element for attaching the pin element to the wing or the base part. The at least one fastening element of the pin receiving element and / or the pin element can be designed simply and cost-effectively as a bore.

[0010] The hinge pin is adjustable relative to the pin receptacle from a pivot position to a mounting position and back, in a direction that is at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis. In the pivot position, the hinge pin is at least partially received in the pin receptacle of the pin receptacle, such that the pin receptacle and the hinge pin can pivot relative to each other about the pin axis of the hinge pin. In the mounting position, the hinge pin is located outside the pin receptacle. The hinge pin can therefore be easily inserted into and removed from the pin receptacle by adjusting it at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis. This allows for the simple assembly and disassembly of a hinge connection.For this purpose, it can be particularly advantageous if the connection between the hinge pin and the pin receptacle is released when the hinge pin is in its installed position. In particular, when the hinge pin is in the installed position, the hinge pin and the pin receptacle can be disconnected. Furthermore, it can simplify the assembly and disassembly of the hinge connection if the hinge pin is displaceable from the pivot position to the installed position and back, at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis. In this case, adjusting the hinge pin between the pivot position and the installed position can then be accomplished simply by sliding it.

[0011] To secure the hinge pin in the pivot position, which is at least partially engaged in the pin receptacle, and thus ensure that the hinge connection does not unintentionally loosen when the sash pivots relative to the base, the hinge incorporates a locking element. This locking element is adjustable from a locking position to a release position and back. The locking position serves to secure the hinge pin against unintentional movement from the pivot position to the mounting position, at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis. The release position allows the hinge pin to be moved from the pivot position to the mounting position, at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis.With regard to the functioning of the hinge, it is advantageous if, in the pivot position of the hinge pin and in the locking position of the locking element, the pin receiving element and the hinge pin are connected to each other in such a way that the pin receiving element and the hinge pin can be pivoted relative to each other about the pin axis.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the hinge, the locking element is pivotable about a locking pivot axis from the locked position to the released position and back. This not only allows for easy adjustment of the locking element between the locked and released positions, but also facilitates a simple and compact hinge design. In this context, it is also advantageous if the locking pivot axis is arranged at least substantially parallel to the axis of the hinge pin, specifically with respect to the orientation of the hinge pin in the pivot position.

[0013] Regardless of whether the locking element can be adjusted between the locked and unlocked positions by pivoting or not, it can be advantageous if the locking element is adjustable between these positions on the pin receptacle. This also improves ease of use. Particularly easy handling can be achieved if the locking element is adjustable between the locked and unlocked positions on the pin receptacle. In this case, the locking element can be held on the pin receptacle in such a way that it is not adjustable in every direction, but preferably only along a single adjustment path from the locked position to the unlocked position and back.

[0014] According to a further embodiment of the hinge, the locking element can be adjusted from the release position to the locking position by moving the hinge pin from the assembly position to the pivot position. Thus, moving the hinge pin from the assembly position to the pivot position moves the locking element from the release position to the locking position. This allows for particularly quick and easy hinge connection, as the locking element does not need to be separately moved from the release position to the locking position after the hinge pin has been inserted into the pin receptacle. Furthermore, this ensures that the locking element does not accidentally remain in the release position during hinge connection, which would prevent the hinge from functioning reliably.It can also be advantageous if the locking element can be positively adjusted from the release position to the locked position by moving the hinge pin from the mounting position to the pivot position. In this case, when the hinge pin is moved from the mounting position to the pivot position, the locking element can be moved from the release position to the locked position through physical contact with the hinge pin. This can positively influence the design of a simple and cost-effective hinge.

[0015] According to the invention, the locking element is moved from the locking position to the release position by moving the hinge pin from the pivot position to the assembly position. Thus, moving the hinge pin from the pivot position to the assembly position also moves the locking element from the locking position to the release position. This eliminates the need to separately move the locking element from the locking position to the release position before removing the hinge pin from the pin receptacle. For a simple and cost-effective hinge design, it can also be advantageous if the locking element can be positively adjusted from the locking position to the release position by moving the hinge pin from the pivot position to the assembly position.Therefore, when adjusting the hinge pin from the pivot position to the mounting position, the locking element can be moved from the locking position to the release position by physical contact with the hinge pin.

[0016] Another embodiment of the hinge provides that the pin receptacle has an opening for inserting and removing the hinge pin. This allows the hinge pin to be easily moved from the mounting position to the pivot position and back again through the opening. Furthermore, the locking element can at least partially close the mounting opening when it is in the locked position. This provides a simple way to secure the hinge pin against movement from the pivot position to the mounting position.To ensure that the locking element, in its release position, does not obstruct the movement of the hinge pin from the pivot position to the mounting position, it may be advantageous for the mounting opening to be at least substantially cleared by the locking element when the locking element is in its release position. For the sake of simplicity, the mounting opening may also extend at least substantially parallel to the axis of the hinge pin, with respect to the orientation of the hinge pin in its pivot position.

[0017] According to the invention, the locking element is adjustable from the release position towards the locking position against a restoring force that returns the locking element to the release position. This prevents the locking element from unintentionally moving from the release position to a position where it obstructs the adjustment of the hinge pin from the assembly position to the pivot position and thus prevents the hinge connection from being established. At the same time, a user can easily adjust the locking element from the release position to the locking position. It is not necessary for the restoring force that returns the locking element to the release position to act along the entire adjustment path of the locking element from the release position to the locking position.Rather, for the stated purpose, it may suffice if the restoring force returning the locking element to the release position acts only along a portion of the locking element's adjustment path from the release position to the locking position. Regardless, for the sake of simplicity, the restoring force returning the locking element to the release position can be effected by a spring. In this case, the restoring force returning the locking element to the release position can be the portion of the spring force acting in the direction of the locking element's adjustment path in the respective position of the locking element.Regardless of what causes the restoring force that returns the locking element to the release position, the locking element, in the release position, can bear against the pin receptacle in the direction of the restoring force. Thus, when the locking element is in the release position, it can be pressed against the pin receptacle by the restoring force. In this way, the locking element can be held in a defined position in the release position in a structurally simple manner.

[0018] Another embodiment of the hinge is characterized in that the locking element is adjustable from the locked position towards the release position against a restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position. This prevents the locking element from unintentionally moving from the locked position to a position where it releases the hinge pin from the pivot position to the assembly position, thus ensuring reliable locking of the hinge pin in the pin receptacle. Simultaneously, a user can easily adjust the locking element from the locked position to the release position, which facilitates easy disassembly of the hinge connection.It is not strictly necessary for the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position to act along the entire adjustment range of the locking element from the locked position to the released position. Rather, it may suffice for the stated purpose if the restoring force acting from the locked position only acts along a portion of the adjustment range of the locking element from the locked position to the released position. Regardless, for the sake of simplicity, the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position can be generated by a spring. In this case, the restoring force can be the portion of the spring force acting in the direction of the adjustment range of the locking element in the respective position of the locking element.Regardless of what causes the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position, it can be advantageous for the locking element, when in the locked position, to bear against the pin receptacle in the direction of the restoring force. Thus, when the locking element is in the locked position, the restoring force preferably presses the locking element against the pin receptacle. In this way, the locking element can be held in a defined position in a structurally simple manner.

[0019] The locking element can therefore be adjustable against both the restoring force that returns the locking element to the release position from the release position and against the restoring force that returns the locking element to the release position from the release position. This reliably prevents unintentional adjustment of the locking element from both the release and release positions without significantly increasing the effort required to make and release the hinge connection.According to the invention, the locking element pivots from the locked position to the released position and back via an intermediate position, whereby the locking element is moved against the restoring force that returns the locking element to the released position from the released position to the intermediate position, and against the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position from the locked position to the intermediate position. Thus, between the locked position and the intermediate position, the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position acts on the locking element, and between the intermediate position and the released position, the restoring force that returns the locking element to the released position acts on the locking element.Regardless, for reliable locking of the hinge pin in the pin receptacle, it can be advantageous if the restoring force returning the locking element to the locked position is greater than the restoring force returning it to the released position. In this case, a greater force must be applied to move the locking element from the locked position to the released position than to move it from the released position to the locked position. Alternatively, for a simpler hinge design, it may be preferable if the restoring force returning the locking element to the locked position and the restoring force returning it to the released position are at least essentially the same.

[0020] The two restoring forces can be achieved in a particularly space-saving manner using the same spring element. Advantageously, the spring element can then be designed such that its spring force acts on the locking element, depending on its position, either at least partially in the direction of the locking position, at least partially in the direction of the release position, or perpendicular to both of these directions. In particular, the spring force can act at least partially in the direction of the release position when the locking element is located between the release position and the intermediate position, and at least partially in the direction of the locking position when the locking element is located between the locking position and the intermediate position.In the intermediate position of the locking element, the spring force can then preferably act at least substantially perpendicular to the, in particular opposite, adjustment directions of the locking element. In this case, the spring can also be referred to as a dead-center spring. Alternatively, the restoring force returning the locking element to the locked position and the restoring force returning the locking element to the released position can also be provided by two different springs. This can have a positive effect on a simple and cost-effective hinge design.Then, depending on the position of the locking element, either the portion of the spring force acting in the direction of the release position for returning the locking element to the release position can be greater than the portion of the spring force acting in the direction of the locking position for returning the locking element to the locking position, or vice versa, or the corresponding portions of the spring forces can cancel each other out. Regardless of whether the locking element is adjustable against a restoring force from the release position towards the locking position and / or from the locking position towards the release position, a locking element can be provided, according to a non-inventive embodiment of the hinge, which is adjustable between a locking position and an unlocking position.The locking element can then positively block the adjustment of the locking element from the locked position to the release position when the locking element is in the locked position, and allow it to move when the locking element is in the unlocked position. This reliably prevents the locking element from unintentionally moving from the locked position to a position that would allow the hinge pin to move from the pivot position to the assembly position. Furthermore, the locking element can be designed to positively engage a locking receptacle of the locking element when the locking element is in the locked position.In this way, the positive locking mechanism that prevents the locking element from moving from the locked to the unlocked position can be implemented in a structurally simple manner. In the unlocked position, the locking element can then be advantageously positioned, at least substantially, outside the locking receptacle of the locking element when the locking element is in the locked position. This ensures that the locking element does not interfere with the locking element moving from the locked to the unlocked position when in the unlocked position.

[0021] A non-inventive embodiment of the hinge provides that the locking element can be pivoted about a locking pivot axis from the locked position to the unlocked position and back. This can not only simplify the adjustment of the locking element between the locked and unlocked positions, but also be advantageous with regard to a simple and compact hinge design. A particularly simple and compact design can be achieved if the locking pivot axis is arranged at least substantially parallel or at least substantially perpendicular to the axis of the hinge pin with respect to its orientation in the pivot position.

[0022] In a non-inventive embodiment of the hinge, it may alternatively or additionally be advantageous for ease of handling the locking element if the locking element is adjustable between the locked and unlocked positions on the pin receiving element. Furthermore, adjusting the locking element between the locked and unlocked positions can be particularly precise if the locking element is adjustable between these positions on the pin receiving element. This can further improve the handling of the locking element. In this case, the locking element is held on the pin receiving element in such a way that it is not adjustable in every direction, but preferably only along a single adjustment path from the locked position to the unlocked position and back.

[0023] According to a non-inventive embodiment of the hinge, the locking element is automatically adjustable from the unlocked position to the locked position when the locking element is moved from the release position to the locked position. Thus, when the locking element is moved from the release position to the locked position, the locking element can be automatically moved from the unlocked position to the locked position, in particular without the need for a separate action to move the locking element from the unlocked position to the locked position. This not only simplifies the creation of the hinge connection but also ensures that the locking element does not unintentionally remain in the unlocked position during the hinge connection process, which would lead to insufficient securing of the hinge pin in the pin receptacle.

[0024] In a non-inventive embodiment of the hinge, it can alternatively or additionally be provided that the locking element positively blocks the movement of the locking element from the unlocked position to the locked position when the locking element is in the release position. This ensures, in a structurally simple manner, that the locking element remains in the unlocked position as long as the locking element is in the release position. This prevents the locking element from interfering with the movement of the locking element from the release position to the locked position.In order to simultaneously allow trouble-free adjustment of the locking element from the unlocking position to the locking position when the safety element is in the safety position, the adjustment of the locking element from the unlocking position to the locking position can be enabled by the safety element in the safety position.

[0025] A non-inventive embodiment of the hinge provides that the locking element is adjustable from the locked position towards the unlocked position against a restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position. This prevents the locking element from unintentionally moving from the locked position to a position where it releases the locking element from the locked position to the unlocked position. This further increases the safety against unintentional loosening of the hinge connection. Preferably, the locking element can then be adjustable from the locked position to the unlocked position against the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position.In this case, the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position acts not only along part of the locking element's travel path from the locked to the unlocked position, but at least substantially along the entire travel path. This has the advantage that the locking element does not unintentionally remain in the unlocked position. Furthermore, it can facilitate the simple implementation of automatic adjustment of the locking element from the unlocked to the locked position when the safety element is moved from the release to the secured position. For the sake of simplicity, the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position can also be achieved by a spring.

[0026] If the locking element is adjustable against the restoring force that returns it to the locked position from the locked position towards the unlocked position, the locking element can, in the direction of the restoring force, bear against the safety element in the safe position. Thus, the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position can press the locking element against the safety element when both the locking element and the safety element are in the safe position. In this way, the locking element can be held in a defined position in a structurally simple manner.Regardless, if the locking element is adjustable from the locked position to the unlocked position against the restoring force that returns it to the locked position, it can also be designed so that, in the unlocked position, the locking element rests against the safety element in the release position in the direction of the restoring force that returns it to the locked position. In this case, the restoring force that returns the locking element to the locked position can press the locking element against the safety element when the locking element is in the unlocked position and the safety element is in the release position.This can contribute to a structurally simple implementation of an automatic adjustment of the locking element from the unlocking position to the locking position when the safety element is adjusted from the release position to the safety position.

[0027] According to a non-inventive embodiment of the hinge, the locking element can be adjusted from the locked position to the unlocked position and / or back without tools. In this case, the locking element can be adjusted, particularly manually, from the locked position to the unlocked position and / or back. This further simplifies and speeds up the process of making and / or breaking the hinge connection. Adjusting the locking element can be especially easy and quick without tools if the locking element has at least one pressure surface such that, by applying a pressure force to the pressure surface, the locking element can be adjusted from the locked position to the unlocked position and / or back, at least substantially perpendicular to the pressure surface.

[0028] Regardless of whether the locking element is adjustable between the locked and unlocked positions without tools, it may have a shaped section. This shaped section can be designed so that a correspondingly designed tool and / or key can be attached to it, allowing the locking element to be moved from the locked to the unlocked position and / or back again using the tool and / or key. This allows authorized persons in possession of the appropriate tool and / or key to adjust the locking element easily and without significant effort.Furthermore, if the locking element cannot be adjusted without a suitable tool and / or key, or only with considerable effort, this can also contribute to increased security against unauthorized adjustment of the locking element. Regardless, for the sake of simplicity, the hinge can incorporate the necessary tool and / or key. In this case, the tool and / or key is considered part of the hinge.

[0029] Another embodiment of the hinge according to the invention provides that the locking element has a pin receptacle for at least partially receiving the hinge pin. In this case, when the locking element is in the locked position, the hinge pin can be received not only at least partially in the pin receptacle of the pin receptacle element, but also at least partially in the pin receptacle of the locking element. This can have a positive effect on a defined and precise pivoting of the hinge pin and the pin receptacle element relative to each other. Alternatively or additionally, for the same reason, it may also be advantageous if the pin receptacle of the pin receptacle element and / or the pin receptacle of the locking element has a cross-section that is at least partially, and at least substantially, arc-shaped.In this context, a cross-section of the pin receiving element and / or the locking element is understood to be, in particular, a cross-section that is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the hinge pin, specifically with respect to the orientation of the hinge pin in the pivot position. Alternatively or additionally, a defined and precise pivoting of the hinge pin and the pin receiving element relative to each other can also be achieved if the hinge pin has a cross-section that is at least substantially circular. In this context, a cross-section of the hinge pin is understood to be, in particular, a cross-section that is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the hinge pin.

[0030] The problem described above is also solved in a system according to the preamble of claim 7 by the fact that the hinge is designed according to one of claims 1 to 6.

[0031] The system according to the invention comprises a wing, a base part, and at least one hinge of the type described above. The wing can be detachably connected to the base part by means of the hinge in such a way that the wing can be pivoted about the axis of the hinge pin from a closed position to an open position and back again. In the closed position, the wing can then at least substantially close an access point, which for the sake of simplicity may be at least partially limited by the base part, and in the open position, it can at least partially open the access point. With such a system, the aforementioned advantages of the hinge are particularly evident. This is all the more true if the wing is designed as a door and / or flap and / or if the base part is designed as a frame.For the same reason, it can also be advantageous, either alternatively or additionally, if the wing and the base part belong to a sheet metal cabinet. In that case, the base part can be formed by the body of the sheet metal cabinet, and the wing can be made, at least substantially, of sheet metal.

[0032] According to a non-inventive embodiment of the system, the adjustment of the locking element from the locked position to the release position and / or the adjustment of the locking element from the locked position to the unlocked position is positively blocked by the sash when the sash is in the closed position. This reliably prevents the hinge connection from being released when the sash is closed. To simultaneously allow trouble-free release of the hinge connection when the sash is open, the adjustment of the locking element from the locked position to the release position and / or the adjustment of the locking element from the locked position to the unlocked position by the sash can be permitted when the sash is in the open position.

[0033] If the hinge has a locking element with a molded section for the insertion of a tool and / or key, it can alternatively be provided that the sash has a release recess which, in the closed position of the sash, is located in the area of ​​the molded section of the locking element. Then the tool and / or key can be inserted through the release recess of the sash and inserted into the molded section of the locking element, and the locking element can be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position and / or back again using the tool and / or key when the sash is in the closed position.This ensures that authorized persons who possess a suitable tool and / or key can easily loosen and / or establish the hinge connection even when the wing is in the closed position, while unauthorized persons cannot or can only do so with considerable effort.

[0034] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing illustrating only preferred embodiments. The drawing shows: Fig. 1A-B: a first hinge according to the invention with a hinge pin in a mounting position and a pivot position, each in a perspective view; Fig. 2A-B: a first system according to the invention comprising the hinge made of the Fig. 1A-B with the hinge pin in the pivot position in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view, Fig. 3A-B: the system consisting of the Fig. 2A-B with the hinge pin in a mounting position in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view, Fig. 4A-B: a second hinge not according to the invention with a hinge pin in a mounting position and a pivot position, each in a perspective view, Fig. 5A-B: a second system not according to the invention comprising the hinge made of the Fig. 4A-B with the hinge pin in the pivot position in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view, Fig. 6A-B: the system consisting of the Fig. 5A-B with the hinge pin in a mounting position in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view, Fig. 7A-B: a third non-inventive hinge with a hinge pin in a mounting position and a pivot position, each in a perspective view, Fig. 8A-B: a third non-inventive system comprising the hinge made of the Fig. 7A-B with the hinge pin in the pivot position in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view, Fig. 9A-B: the system consisting of the Fig. 8A-B with the hinge pin in a mounting position in a perspective view and a horizontal section view.

[0035] The Fig. 1A-B Figure 1 shows a hinge 1 according to the invention in a perspective view. The hinge 1 has a pin element 2 which comprises a cylindrical hinge pin 3 extending along a pin axis A. At the opposite longitudinal ends of the hinge pin 3, the pin element 2 has a fastening means in the form of a bore 4. By means of the bores 4, the pin element 2 can be fastened to a wing, for example in the form of a door and / or a flap, or to a base part, for example in the form of a frame, for example by screwing.

[0036] In addition to the pin element 2, the hinge 1 has a pin receptacle 5. The pin receptacle 5 has a pin receptacle 6 with a mounting opening 7 on its front side, through which the hinge pin 3 can be inserted into and removed from the pin receptacle 6. On its rear side, the pin receptacle 5, like the pin element 2, has two fastening means in the form of bores 8, by means of which the pin receptacle 5 can be attached to a wing or a base part. A locking element 9 is held on the pin receptacle 5. In this case, the locking element 9 is held on a locking element axis 10 of the pin receptacle 5, which extends at least substantially parallel to the pin receptacle 6 and defines a locking pivot axis AS. Thus, the locking element 9 can be pivoted relative to the pin receptacle 5 about the locking pivot axis AS.Furthermore, a spring element 11 in the form of a flexible wire is provided. The spring element 11 extends through two through-openings 12 of the pin receiving element 5 arranged on the opposite longitudinal sides of the locking element 9, as well as through one in the . Fig. 1A-B The spring element 11 passes through the through-opening 13 of the locking element 9, which is located on the rear side of the locking element 9 (not shown). The spring element 11 is bent over on the sides of the through-openings 12 of the pin receiving element 5 facing away from the locking element 9 and is thus held in a simple manner on the pin receiving element 5.

[0037] In the Fig. 1A The hinge pin 3 is shown in an assembly position and the locking element 9 in a release position. In the assembly position, the hinge pin 3 is arranged outside the pin receptacle 6, so that in the illustrated and thus preferred embodiment, the pin element 2 and the pin receptacle element 5 are unconnected. In the release position, the locking element 9 substantially releases the assembly opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6, so that the hinge pin 3 can be inserted into the pin receptacle 6 by sliding it relative to the pin receptacle element 5 at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A to create a hinge connection. Thus, the hinge pin 3 can be removed from the recess 7 in the Fig. 1A the illustrated assembly position in one in the Fig. 1B The swivel position shown can be adjusted. The locking element 9 can be removed from the position shown in the Fig. 1A The release position shown is achieved by pivoting relative to the pin receiving element 5 around the locking pivot axis AS into a position in the Fig. 1B The depicted safety position can be adjusted.

[0038] In the Fig. 1B The hinge pin 3 is shown in the pivot position and the locking element 9 in the locked position. In the pivot position, the hinge pin 3 is received in the pin receptacle 6 of the pin receptacle 5 such that the pin element 2, and together with it the hinge pin 3, can pivot relative to the pin receptacle 5 about the pin axis A. In this position, the locking element 9, when in the locked position, partially closes the mounting opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6, so that the hinge pin 3 is secured against unintentional movement from the pin receptacle 6, at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A. To release the hinge connection, the locking element 9 can be removed from the mounting opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6. Fig. 1B The depicted locking position is achieved by pivoting around the locking pivot axis AS into the position shown in the Fig. 1A illustrated release position and the hinge pin 3 from the one in the Fig. 1B The pivot position shown can be changed by shifting at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A into a position, for example, the one shown in the Fig. 1A The mounting position shown can be adjusted.

[0039] The Fig. 2A-B Figure 14 shows a system 14 with a base part 15 in the form of a frame, a wing 16 in the form of a door and the hinge 1 in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view along the line shown in the Fig. 2A Section IIB-IIB is shown. The base part 15 and the wing 16 are only shown in sections. In the illustrated and thus preferred embodiment, the pin element 2 of the hinge 1 is attached to the wing 16 via its bores 4 by means of two screws 17, and the pin receiving element 5 of the hinge 1 is attached to the base part 15 via its bores 8 by means of two screws 18. Alternatively, the pin element 2 could be attached to the base part 15 and the pin receiving element 5 to the wing 16.

[0040] In the illustrated and thus preferred hinge 1, in addition to the pin receiving element 5, the locking element 9 also has a pin receiving element 19 for partially receiving the hinge pin 3. The pin receiving element 19 of the locking element 9 extends at least substantially parallel to the pin receiving element 6 of the pin receiving element 5. Perpendicular to its longitudinal extent, the pin receiving element 19 of the locking element 9 has a circular arc-shaped cross-section.

[0041] In the Fig. 2A-B The hinge pin 3 is shown in the pivot position and the locking element 9 in the locked position. The hinge pin 3 is received in the pin receptacle 6 of the pin receptacle 5 and partially in the pin receptacle 19 of the locking element 9 such that the wing 16 attached to the pin element 2 can pivot about the pin axis A relative to the base part 15 attached to the pin receptacle 5. Thus, the wing 16 can be pivoted relative to the base part 15 between a position in the Fig. 2A as well as dashed lines in the Fig. 2B depicted open position and one in the Fig. 2B The sash 16 can be pivoted into the closed position shown. In the closed position, the sash 16 closes an access point 20, which is laterally limited by the base part 15. In the open position, the sash 16 exposes the access point 20.

[0042] In the locked position, a restoring force FRS acts on the locking element 9, returning it to the locked position. This restoring force FRS presses the locking element 9 against a stop 21 of the pin receptacle 5, which in this case is designed as a cylindrical axis extending parallel to the locking pivot axis AS. This prevents the locking element 9 from unintentionally pivoting out of the locked position and thus entering a position where it exposes the mounting opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6 to such an extent that the hinge pin 3 can emerge from the pin receptacle 6. The restoring force FRS is generated by the spring element 11 and is selected so that engagement and disengagement can be performed without tools or pressing a button.

[0043] For example, if the wing 16 is in the closed position, the hinge connection can be released. To do this, the hinge pin 3, together with the attached wing 16, can be moved from the pin receiving element 5 and the attached base part 15 at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A. Fig. 2A-B The pivot position shown is moved into a mounting position in which the hinge pin 3 is arranged outside the pin receptacle 6. In this position, the locking element 9 is held in place by contact with the hinge pin 3 against the restoring force FRS, which returns the locking element 9 to the locked position. Fig. 2A-B The locking element 9 is swung out of the shown locking position and then swung into the release position, in which the locking element 9 essentially releases the mounting opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6.

[0044] The Fig. 3A-B The system 14 is shown in a perspective view and a horizontal section view along the line in the Fig. 3A Section IIIB-IIIB is shown. The hinge pin 3 is shown in an assembly position and the locking element 9 in the release position. In the assembly position, the hinge pin 3 is located outside the pin receptacle 6 of the pin receptacle 5 and the pin receptacle 19 of the locking element 9, so that the hinge connection between the base part 15 and the wing 16 is separated.

[0045] In its release position, the locking element 9 essentially opens the mounting opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6, allowing the hinge pin 3 to be inserted into the pin receptacle 6. A restoring force FRF acts on the locking element 9, returning it to the release position and pressing it against the pin receptacle element 5. This prevents the locking element 9 from unintentionally pivoting out of the release position and thus entering a position where it closes the mounting opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6 to such an extent that the insertion of the hinge pin 3 into the pin receptacle 6 is obstructed by the locking element 9. The restoring force FRF is also generated by the spring element 11.

[0046] To create the hinge connection, the hinge pin 3, together with the attached wing 16, can be moved relative to the pin receiving element 5 at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A from the inside to the Fig. 3A-B the illustrated assembly position in the Fig. 2A-B The pivot position shown can be adjusted. In doing so, the locking element 9 is held in the release position by contact with the hinge pin 3 against the restoring force FRF, which returns the locking element 9 to the release position. Fig. 3A-B The release position shown is swung out and then in the direction of the restoring force FRS that returns the locking element 9 to the locking position. Fig. 2A-B The depicted safety position is pivoted.

[0047] The pivoting of the locking element 9 from the into the Fig. 3A-B the release position shown in the Fig. 2A-B The locking position shown is thus achieved via an intermediate position, whereby the restoring force FRF, which returns the locking element 9 to the release position, acts on the locking element 9 between the release position and the intermediate position, and the restoring force FRS, which returns the locking element 9 to the locking position, acts between the locking position and the intermediate position. In the intermediate position, the locking element 9 is in an unstable equilibrium, in which neither a force in the direction of the locking position nor a force in the direction of the release position acts on the locking element 9. This is achieved by the fact that the spring element 11 is untensioned in the intermediate position and only generates a restoring force FRF, FRS in one or the other direction when the hinge pin 3 engages or disengages.

[0048] The Fig. 4A-B Figures 22 show a non-inventional hinge in perspective view, which is similarly designed to the hinge described above. Therefore, identical components also bear the same reference numerals. However, a significant difference lies in the mechanism for securing the hinge pin 3 in the pin receptacle 6. In addition to a locking element 23, which, as in the illustrated and thus preferred hinge 22, is pivotably mounted on the locking element axis 10 of the pin receptacle 5 about the locking pivot axis AS, a locking element 24 is provided. The locking element 24 is mounted on a locking element axis 25 of the pin receptacle 5, which defines a locking pivot axis AV extending at least substantially parallel to the pin receptacle 6. Thus, the locking element 24 can be pivoted about the locking pivot axis AV relative to the pin receptacle 5.The locking element 24 has a pressure surface 26 for actuating the locking element 24. The pressure surface 26 is designed such that the locking element 24 can be pivoted about the locking pivot axis AV at least substantially perpendicular to the pressure surface 26 by applying a pressure force to the pressure surface 26.

[0049] Furthermore, a spring element 27 in the form of a flexible wire is provided. The spring element 27 extends through the two through-openings 12 of the pin receiving element 5, which in the illustrated and thus preferred embodiment are arranged on the opposite longitudinal sides of the locking element 24. In addition, the spring element 27 extends through a Fig. 4A-B The through-opening 28 of the locking element 24, which is not shown, is located on the rear side of the locking element 24. The spring element 27 is bent over on the sides of the through-openings 12 of the pin receiving element 5 facing away from the locking element 24 and is thus held on the pin receiving element 5.

[0050] In the Fig. 4A The hinge pin 3 is shown in an assembly position, the locking element 23 in a release position, and the locking element 24 in an unlocked position. To create a hinge connection, the hinge pin 3 can be moved from the position shown in the Fig. 4A The illustrated mounting position is at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A in the Fig. 4B The depicted pivot position was shifted and the locking element 23 was moved from the position shown in the Fig. 4A the depicted release position around the safety pivot axis AS in a position in the Fig. 4B The locking position shown can be pivoted. The locking element 24 can then be moved from the position shown in the Fig. 4A The unlocking position shown is achieved by pivoting about the locking pivot axis AV into a position in the Fig. 4B The depicted locking position can be adjusted.

[0051] In the Fig. 4B The hinge pin 3 is shown in the pivot position, the locking element 23 in the secured position, and the locking element 24 in the locked position. In the locked position, the locking element 24 positively blocks the pivoting of the locking element 23 from the secured position to the release position. This reliably prevents the locking element 23 from unintentionally moving into a position where it opens the mounting opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6 to such an extent that the hinge pin 3 can escape from the pin receptacle 6.

[0052] To release a hinge connection made by means of the hinge 22, the locking element 24 can be released, for example, by applying a pressure force to the pressure surface 26 from the hinge in the Fig. 4B shown locking position around the locking pivot axis AV into the position shown in the Fig. 4A The unlocking position shown can be pivoted. The locking element 23 can then be pivoted about the locking pivot axis AS from the position shown in the Fig. 4B the depicted safety position in the Fig. 4A The release position shown is pivoted and the hinge pin 3 is at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A from the position shown in the Fig. 4B the depicted pivot position into one, for example the one in the Fig. 4A The mounting position shown can be moved.

[0053] The Fig. 5A-B Figure 29 shows a non-inventive system comprising the hinge 22 in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view along the line shown in the Fig. 5A The section plane VB-VB is shown. Since the illustrated system 29 is similarly designed to the previously described system, identical components also bear the same reference numerals. Like the locking element of the previously described hinge, the locking element 23 of the illustrated and thus preferred hinge 22 also has a pin receptacle 30. The pin receptacle 30 of the locking element 23 extends parallel to the pin receptacle 6 of the pin receptacle element 5 and has a circular arc cross-section perpendicular to its longitudinal extent.

[0054] In the Fig. 5A-B The hinge pin 3 is shown in the pivot position, the locking element 23 in the secured position, and the locking element 24 in the locked position. The locking element 24 engages positively in a locking receptacle 31 of the locking element 23, thus positively blocking the pivoting of the locking element 23 about the locking pivot axis AS from the secured position to the released position. The pre-tensioned spring element 27, extending through the through-opening 28 of the locking element 24 and the through-openings 12 of the pin receptacle 5, exerts a restoring force FRV that returns the locking element 24 to the locked position, pressing the locking element 24 against the locking element 23. Thus, the locking element 24 rests against the locking element 23 in the direction of the restoring force FRV which returns the locking element 24 to the locking position.

[0055] In the illustrated and thus preferred hinge 22, the locking element 23 is also spring-loaded, specifically by a pre-tensioned spring element 32, which in this case is designed as a torsion spring. The torsion spring is held on the locking element axis 10 of the pin receiving element 5, with one leg of the torsion spring bearing against the pin receiving element 5 and the other leg of the torsion spring bearing against the locking element 23. In this way, the spring element 32 exerts a restoring force FRF that returns the locking element 23 to the release position, so that the locking element 23 rests against the locking element 24 in the direction of this restoring force FRF.

[0056] In the Fig. 5B The sash 16 is shown in the closed position. In the closed position, the sash 16 positively blocks the pivoting of the locking element 24 about the locking pivot axis AV from the shown locked position to the unlocked position. To release the hinge connection, the sash 16 can be moved from the closed position about the pin axis A into a position shown in the Fig. 5A as well as dashed lines in the Fig. 5B The open position shown can be adjusted, in which the sash 16 partially releases the access 20. In this open position, the sash 16 is arranged such that the locking element 24 is disengaged from the opening in the Fig. 5A-B The locking position shown can be pivoted against the restoring force FRV of the spring element 27, which returns the locking element 24 to the locked position, into the unlocked position. Then the hinge pin 3, together with the wing 16, can be removed from the position shown in the Fig. 5A as well as dashed lines in the Fig. 5B The pivot position shown, perpendicular to the pin axis A, is moved into a mounting position in which the hinge pin 3 is arranged outside the pin receptacle 6. In this position, the locking element 23 is moved from the position in the Fig. 5A-B The safety position shown is pivoted around the safety pivot axis AS into the release position.

[0057] The Fig. 6A-B The system 29 is shown in a perspective view and a horizontal section view along the line in the Fig. 6A The section VIB-VIB shown in the diagram depicts the hinge pin 3 in an assembly position, the locking element 23 in the release position, and the locking element 24 in the unlock position. The locking element 24 is located outside the locking receptacle 31. The locking element 24 is pressed against the locking element 23 by the restoring force FRV, which is generated by the wire-shaped spring element 27 and returns the locking element 24 to the locked position. Thus, the locking element 24 rests against the locking element 23 in the direction of the restoring force FRV.In addition, the locking element 23 is pressed against the locking element 24 by the restoring force FRF, which returns the locking element 23 to the release position and is effected in this case by the spring means 32 designed as a torsion spring, so that the locking element 23 rests against the locking element 24 in the direction of the restoring force FRF, which returns the locking element 23 to the release position.

[0058] To create the hinge connection, the hinge pin 3 together with the wing 16 can be inserted at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A from the into the Fig. 6A-B the illustrated assembly position in the Fig. 5A-B The pivot position shown is moved. The locking element 23 is thereby moved by contact with the hinge pin 3 against the restoring force FRF, which returns the locking element 23 to the release position and is caused by the spring means 32 designed as a torsion spring, from the position shown. Fig. 6A-B the release position shown in the Fig. 5A-B The locking element 24 is pivoted into the shown locking position. Then, the locking element 24 is automatically returned to the locked position by the restoring force FRV, which is caused by the wire-shaped spring element 27. Fig. 6A-B The unlocked position shown is in the position around the locking pivot axis AV. Fig. 5A-B The locking position shown is pivoted.

[0059] The Fig. 7A-B Figure 1 shows a further hinge 33, not according to the invention, in a perspective view, which is similar to the hinge described above. Therefore, identical components also bear the same reference numerals. A significant difference, however, lies in the design of the mechanism for locking the locking element 23 in the locked position. As with the hinge described above, a locking element 34 is also held on the pin receptacle 5 in the illustrated and thus preferred hinge 33. However, the locking element 34 is held on two locking element axes 35 of the pin receptacle 5, which extend at least substantially parallel to the pin receptacle 6, such that the locking element 34 is pivotable about a locking pivot axis AV, which is arranged at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A of the hinge pin 3 with respect to its orientation in the pivot position.The locking element axes 35 can, for example, be formed from spring wire. As an alternative to the locking element 34 being held by the two locking element axes 35, the locking element 34 could also be held by a special contour of the corresponding / adjacent components, whereby fixed stops can also be provided (e.g., ±90° from the closed position). The locking element 34 has a shaped section 36, which in this case is designed as a square. A correspondingly shaped tool 37, which in this case is designed as a square key, can be attached to the shaped section 36. The locking element 34 can then be easily pivoted about the locking pivot axis AV using the tool 37.In the illustrated and thus preferred embodiment, the mold section 36 has a marking in the form of an arrow indicating the respective position in which the locking element 34 is located.

[0060] In the Fig. 7A The hinge pin 3 is shown in an assembly position, the locking element 23 in the release position, and the locking element 34 in an unlocked position. In the release position, the locking element 23 opens the assembly opening 7 of the pin receptacle 6 to such an extent that the hinge pin 3 can be moved at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A from the recess in the Fig. 7A the illustrated assembly position in the Fig. 7B The pivot position shown can be moved. This moves the locking element 23 from the position shown in the Fig. 7A the release position shown around the safety pivot axis AS in the Fig. 7B The locking position shown is pivoted. The locking element 34 can then be moved from the position shown in the diagram, for example using the tool 37. Fig. 7A The unlocking position shown is achieved by pivoting about the locking pivot axis AV into a position in the Fig. 7B The depicted locking position can be adjusted.

[0061] In the Fig. 7B The hinge pin 3 is shown in the pivot position, the locking element 23 in the secured position, and the locking element 34 in the locked position. In the locked position, the locking element 34 positively blocks the pivoting of the locking element 23 from the secured position to the release position. To release a hinge connection made by means of the hinge 33, the locking element 34 can be moved, for example, by means of the tool 37, about the locking pivot axis AV from the position shown in the Fig. 7B shown locking position in the Fig. 7A The hinge pin 3 can then be pivoted into the unlocked position shown. The hinge pin 3 can then be pivoted at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A from the position shown in the Fig. 7B the depicted pivot position into one, for example the one in the Fig. 7A The mounting position shown is moved. In doing so, the locking element 23 is moved about the locking pivot axis AS from the position shown in the Fig. 7B the depicted safety position in the Fig. 7A The depicted release position is tilted.

[0062] The Fig. 8A-B show a further system 38, not according to the invention, comprising the hinge 33, in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view along the line shown in the Fig. 8A Section plane VIIIB-VIIIB shown. Since the system 38 shown is similarly designed to the system described previously, identical components also bear the same reference numerals. In the Fig. 8A-B The hinge pin 3 is shown in the pivot position, the locking element 23 in the secured position, and the locking element 34 in the locked position. In the locked position of the locking element 34, a tab 39 of the locking element 34 engages in the locking receptacle 31 of the locking element 23, thereby positively blocking the pivoting of the locking element 23 about the locking pivot axis AS from the secured position to the released position. The locking element 23 is pressed against the locking element 34 by the restoring force FRF, which returns the locking element 23 to the released position and is generated by the spring 32 designed as a torsion spring. This force causes the locking element 23 to bear against the locking element 34 in the direction of the restoring force FRF.

[0063] In the illustrated embodiment, which is not according to the invention, the wing 16 has a release recess 40 that is circular in shape. The tool 37 of the hinge 33 can pass through the release recess 40 into the Fig. 8B In the closed position of the wing 16 shown, in which the wing 16 closes the access 20, the locking element 34 is attached to the shaped section 36 of the locking element 34. Thus, the locking element 34 can be pivoted by means of the tool 37 in the closed position of the wing 16 about the locking pivot axis AV between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0064] To release the hinge connection between the base part 15 and the sash 16, for example in the closed position of the sash 16, the locking element 34 can be moved from the position into the Fig. 8A-B The locking element 34 is pivoted from the locked position about the locking pivot axis AV to the unlocked position. In doing so, the tab 39 of the locking element 34 pivots out of the locking receptacle 31 of the locking element 23, so that the locking element 34 releases the locking element 23 from the locked position to the unlocked position about the locking pivot axis AS. The hinge pin 3, together with the wing 16, can then be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position. Fig. 8A-B The pivot position shown is moved at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A into a mounting position in which the hinge pin 3 is arranged outside the pin receptacle 6. In this process, the locking element 23 is moved from the position shown in the Fig. 8A-B The locking position shown is pivoted around the locking pivot axis AS into the release position which at least substantially releases the mounting opening 7 of the pin holder 6.

[0065] The Fig. 9A-B show the non-inventional system 38 in a perspective view and a horizontal sectional view along the line shown in the Fig. 9A The section plane IXB-IXB is shown, with the hinge pin 3 in an assembly position, the locking element 23 in the release position, and the locking element 34 in the unlock position. In the release position, the locking element 23 is pressed against the locking element 34 by the restoring force FRF, which returns the locking element 23 to the release position and is caused by the spring element 32, designed as a torsion spring. Thus, the locking element 23 rests against the locking element 34 in the direction of the restoring force FRF.

[0066] To create the hinge connection between the base part 15 and the wing 16, the hinge pin 3 together with the wing 16 can be inserted at least substantially perpendicular to the pin axis A from the Fig. 9A-B the illustrated assembly position in the Fig. 8A-B The pivot position shown is moved. The locking element 23 is thereby moved by contact with the hinge pin 3 against the restoring force FRF, which returns the locking element 23 to the release position, about the locking pivot axis AS from the position shown. Fig. 9A-B the release position shown in the Fig. 8A-B The locking position shown is pivoted. Subsequently, for example in the closed position of the wing 16, the locking element 34 can be pivoted about the locking pivot axis AV from the position shown in the image using the tool 37. Fig. 9A-B shown unlocking position in the Fig. 8A-B The locking position shown can be pivoted.

[0067] The two locking element axes 35 can – unlike in Fig. 7A bis Fig. 9B The locking element axes 35 can also be extended so that their ends protrude upwards and / or downwards from the pin receiving element 5. Furthermore, the ends can be connected to each other above and / or below the pin receiving element 5, resulting in a torsionally resistant design (U-shape or O-shape). Preferably, the ends are also inclined in the direction of the locking pivot axis AV towards the sash 16 – i.e., "outwards". This causes the sash 16, in its closed position, to abut the inclined ends of the locking element axes 35, elastically deforming them (the preload travel can be, for example, 2 mm to 3 mm). In this way, the locking element axes 35 act as a spring and generate a force relative to the sash 16 (e.g.,(a door leaf) a preload that causes the sash 16 to spring open slightly on its own after unlocking, making it easier to grip and open further by hand. This is particularly advantageous for fully inset doors. Bezugszeichenliste:
