Abstract

The mounting for an opening building component, e.g. a door or window comprises a straight swiveling bracket (1), into which an L-shaped mounting bracket (2) is fitted. The straight bracket has a profiled section (1d), into which one arm (2a) of the mounting bracket fits and can be slid to adjust it.

Description

The invention relates to the technical sector of hinge-type fastening systems for leaves, especially for shutters, doors, windows, French windows, etc.

Many types of hinges are known for the hinge of leaves. In general, the hinges are fixed facially on the leaf and are engaged, at one of their ends shaped to act as hinges, on sealed hinges, for example, near an opening to be equipped . There are essentially straight hinges and squared hinges.

Straight hinges consist of a single straight element whose one end is hinged. This rectilinear element is fixed directly on the leaf considered. The rectilinear element is made in one part, so it is necessary to provide different lengths depending on the type of application envisaged. This results in a large number of parts since there is no possibility of adjustment in length of the rectilinear element.

The squared hinges consist of a hinge lug secured, generally in a perpendicular manner, a bracket on the leaf considered. The fastening lug can be constituted by a single rectilinear branch or by two branches arranged at right angles.

In one embodiment of this type of squared hinge, the hinge lug is fixed angularly to the bracket by welding and / or riveting. As a result, the fixing must be done in the factory, which tends to increase manufacturing costs.

In an attempt to remedy these disadvantages, a solution emerges from the teaching of the patent FR 2.837.233 which the applicant hereby also holds.

According to the teaching of this patent, the hinge and fastening lugs have complementary coupling forms consisting of a squared groove serving mortise formed over the entire width of the hinge lug, and a bending adapted to be embedded in said mortise. The bending is formed on a part of the length of the bracket. These arrangements make it possible to ensure a fixed and rigid connection in all directions of the fixing lug with respect to the hinge lug by eliminating the fastening means in the factory.

However, there is no real possibility of adjustment, including the positioning of the hinge tab relative to the bracket and in particular the height adjustment of said hinge lug.

From this state of the art, the problems to be solved by the invention are to facilitate the installation, to reduce inventories, to allow the height adjustments of the hinge lugs relative to the fixing lugs, to be able to carry the leaves flat by interposing shims cooperating with the fixing lugs in place of the hinge lugs, to be able to use the same parts for hinges of different design, to ensure the locking in position of the hinge tab relative to the bracket without necessarily drilling said bracket.

To solve these various problems, it has been designed and developed, according to the invention, a leaf fastening assembly comprising at least a hinge lug and a bracket independent of each other, said assembly being in accordance with the features of claim 1.

In another embodiment, in the case where the fixing lug has at least one branch disposed in a vertical plane, the portion having the profiled groove is formed on a part of the length of the hinge lug and perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.

When the bracket has a single leg disposed in a horizontal plane, the portion having the profiled groove is formed over a portion of the length of the hinge lug and in alignment with its longitudinal axis.

In another embodiment, the portion (1d) having the profiled groove (1a) is independent and constitutes a coupling spider between the hinge and fixing lugs.

In order to solve the problem posed by allowing the hinge tab to be adjusted in position relative to the fixing lug, the groove is formed at the end of the hinge lug, at the opposite end of the lug having hinge arrangements. joint.

To solve the problem posed to ensure an adjustment with guided sliding capacity, the profiled groove has, at its opening, two opposite rims opposite, delimiting a substantially T-shaped cross section.

The hinge lug has a rectilinear or bent portion of flat section whose one end is profiled in the form of hinge to cooperate with hinges or axes.

In an alternative embodiment, the hinge lug has a squared wing attachment.

From this design, given the problem posed to allow adjustment in position of the hinge lug relative to the bracket, the latter has at least one leg having facially fastening arrangements on a portion of the leaf, the cross section of the branch or branches being T-shaped in a manner complementary to that of the groove.

To solve the problem of being able to transport the leaves in the superposition position flat with the aim of not damaging the previously fixed fastening lugs, the branch or branches of the fastening lug receive shims for the transport having a profiled groove cooperating with the T-shaped cross section of the one or more branches.

The figures of the drawings show a fixing assembly for leaf (V) in particular in the form of hinges executed according to different embodiments, without excluding other examples of application.

The assembly comprises at least one hinge lug (1) and a bracket (2) independent of one another. As will be indicated in the following description, the hinge lug (1) has arrangements to be fixed, with adjustment capacity in height or length, to the corresponding branch of the bracket (2).

It is recalled first that the bracket (2) may have a single branch (2a) disposed generally in a vertical plane, or two squared branches (2a) and (2b). Optionally, as shown in the embodiment illustrated in Figures 13 to 16, the bracket (2) may have a single horizontal leg (2b). Whatever the embodiment of the bracket (2), the branch or branches (2a) and / or (2b) present (s) arrangements in the form of holes (2c) for example, for the engagement of fasteners, not shown, in the thickness of the leaf (V) or other support.

According to the invention, the hinge lug (1), and whatever the embodiment as illustrated in the figures of the drawings, has a portion (1d) with a profiled groove (1a). The profile in section of the groove (1a) is adapted to receive, with adjustment capacity and guided sliding, the branches (2a) and / or (2b) of the bracket (2), which branches have a cross section contoured in a complementary manner. As shown in particular in Figures 2, 4, 6 and 8 for example, the profiled groove (1a) has at its opening two rims flanges (1b) and (1c) arranged in opposition and defining a substantially T-shaped cross section. The cross section of the branches (2a) and / or (2b) thus have a T-profile complementary to that of the groove (1a).

In Figures 1 to 8, the portion (1d) having the profiled groove (1a) is formed on a part of the length of the hinge lug (2) and perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. In this case, the groove (1a) is intended to be engaged on the section of the vertical leg (2a) of the bracket (2).

In Figures 13 to 16, the portion (1d) having the profiled groove (1a) is formed on a portion of the length of the hinge lug and in alignment with its longitudinal axis. In this case, the groove (1a) is engaged on the cross section of the horizontal branch (2b) of the bracket (2).

In Figure 21, the portion (1d) having the profiled groove (1a) is independent of the hinge lug (1) and constitutes a coupling spider between the hinge lugs (1) and fixing (2). . The hinge lug (1) is engaged between the bracket (2) and the spider (1d).

Whatever the embodiment, the portion (1d) of the hinge lug (1) where the groove (1a) is formed, has at least one hole (1e) for the engagement of a set screw ( 8) cooperating in support with the corresponding branch (2a) or (2b) of the bracket (2). These arrangements make it possible to ensure the locking in position of the hinge lug (1) relative to the bracket (2). This part (1d) constitutes a knot or platinum assembly.

Opposite the portion (1d), the hinge lug (1) has, at its free end, a portion (1f) acting as a hinge to cooperate with hinges or pins, as will be indicated in the following the description. Between the part (1d) and the hinge (1f), the hinge lug (1) has either a rectilinear part (1g) or a bent part (1h) of variable length (Figures 2 and 4).

In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the hinge parts (hinges) are nested one inside the other to receive a common axis (3), the hinge lugs (2) being in this case arranged in alignment. These arrangements allow for example the mounting, with articulation capacity, two leaves.

An equivalent solution is illustrated in Figures 7 and 8 where the two hinge lugs (1) are identical and coupled to each other by means of a common axis (4). In this embodiment, both legs hinge (1) are offset in height. On the other hand, the fastening lugs (2) can be arranged at the same level, taking into account the mounting with adjustment capacity of each of the hinge lugs (2) (FIG. 7).

In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 13 to 16, the groove (1a) is formed along the longitudinal axis of the hinge lug (1) to cooperate with the horizontal branch (2b) of the bracket (2). These arrangements allow, therefore, a translation adjustment of the hinge lug (1) relative to the bracket (2). FIG. 16 shows the coupling with articulation capacity of two hinge lugs according to the embodiment principle illustrated in FIGS. 13 to 15.

Given the basic characteristics of the invention and in particular the sectional profile of the branch (s) (2a) and / or (2b) of the fixing lugs (2) which form a guide T, it is possible to use this profile in section for the implementation of shims (5) for the transport of leaves (V) superimposed on each other. The wedges (5) are advantageously made of a flexible material (rubber, foam, ...) and therefore avoid damaging the fastening tabs (2) previously mounted facially on each of the leaves. The wedges (5) therefore have a profiled groove cooperating with the T-shaped cross-section of the branch (s) (2a) and / or (2b).

In Figures 17 and 18, the hinge lug (1) has a fixing flange (1i) intended to be positioned and fixed on any support member (6). An alternative embodiment is shown in Figures 19 and 20 where the fastening flange (1i) integral with the hinge lug (1) is replaced by an independent bracket (7). This solution acts as an anti-theft device. The bracket can also be applied to a traditional swing shutter assembly. Note that the wing nut (9) is not systematic but is an additional security.
