Hinge Mounting Element With Pivot Bearing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hinge mounts for three-dimensional adjustment of frame parts, particularly for heavy doors, often require complex spindle arrangements and can cause the frame part to twist during adjustment, and lack a compact design suitable for light to medium-heavy doors.
Innovation Solution
A hinge mount design featuring a holder housing with a clamping unit consisting of two clamping plates and a fixing screw, which allows for three-dimensional adjustment without the need for adjusting spindles, using pivot bearings and a pressure plate to prevent twisting and simplify the construction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If adjusting spindles are used for three-dimensional adjustment, then adjustment capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanism is divided into two independent parts: a pivot bearing that enables pivoting movement for adjustment in the first direction, and a linear displacement mechanism that enables movement for adjustment in the second direction. This segmentation eliminates the need for complex adjusting spindles while maintaining three-dimensional adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using adjusting spindles to achieve pivoting movement, the invention inverts the approach by using a pivot bearing to enable natural pivoting of the clamping unit relative to the receiving housing. This inversion simplifies the mechanism by eliminating the spindle component entirely for the pivoting function.
2Adaptability or versatility
If adjusting spindles are mounted in the holder, then adjustment function is enabled, but play is introduced into the system
Solution Approach 1:
The invention inverts the traditional adjustment mechanism by using a pivot bearing instead of adjusting spindles. This inversion eliminates the play inherent in spindle-based adjustment systems while maintaining the adjustment function through pure pivoting and linear displacement movements.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the adjusting spindles from the holder, removing the source of play from the system. The adjustment function is retained through the pivot bearing and linear displacement mechanism, which do not introduce play into the system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If complex spindle arrangements are used, then three-dimensional adjustment is achieved, but the design is not compact
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanism is segmented into a compact pivot bearing for pivoting movement and a space-efficient linear displacement mechanism. This segmentation allows the three-dimensional adjustment function to be achieved in a compact volume, eliminating the need for bulky adjusting spindles.
4Adaptability or versatility
If adjusting spindles are used for heavy door applications, then adjustment capability is provided, but twisting of frame part occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The invention inverts the adjustment mechanism by using a pivot bearing instead of adjusting spindles. This inversion provides a more stable adjustment process that prevents twisting of the frame part, as the pivot bearing naturally guides the movement without introducing destabilizing forces.

Implementation Method 1
The clamping unit is mounted in the receiving housing so that it can be displaced in the third direction and pivoted about an axis parallel to the third direction when the fixing screw is loosened
Implementation Method 2
The clamping unit can be fixed to the receiving housing by means of at least one fixing screw and is mounted in the receiving housing so that it can be displaced in the third direction when the fixing screw is loosened
Implementation Method 3
a clamping screw, with which the frame part inserted between the clamping plates can be clamped
