Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hinge for fitting of a door or other closure means of for example a cabinet, in particular, to a hinge with an exposed hinge.
  • the hinge is divided into two components which components can be pre-fitted in a factory or factories to the relevant components of, for example, a cabinet, such as the base unit or the door to be fitted to the base unit. These components can then be brought together for the first time on site and the door fitted to the cabinet.
  • the present invention is primarily directed towards the exposed hinge design.
  • the base unit carries the major part of the hinge, a support fitting that is located into the wall of the base unit, with a fitting plate that enables the fitting to be screw fitted to the wall of the base unit.
  • This support fitting normally has a significant portion extending outwardly of the wall of the base unit.
  • the second of the components is fitted to the door and typically comprises a fitting located in a well and screw fitted to the door.
  • the two components having means for adjustment of their relative positions to themselves and to the surface to which they are screw fitted as well as snap locking means to securely locate them to one another in use.
  • the door may then be simply push fitted with the two components coming together until the snap lock means on the two components snaps together to secure the two components in correct alignment.
  • One of the drawbacks with this arrangement relates to the fact that one of the components includes a long arm member which sticks out from the base unit so that it provides a safety hazard to anyone working on or fitting the units.
  • the component fitted in the door is secured to the door by screws, and these are located remotely from the adjacent edge of the door.
  • the loading in the hinge from the weight of the door may be sufficiently to cause the component to float free from the fitting severely hampering the efficient operation of the hinge and the door.
  • hinge means that the snap lock and its release are located in a position where it is difficult to operate.
  • the present invention is concerned with providing a solution to this problem or to at least significantly alleviate the problem.
  • a hinge comprising first and second components for mounting on first and second members respectively, which components may be push fitted to one another to lock the component of the hinge in correct alignment for operation
  • the first component includes a tongue which when the component is fitted to the members extends around and is in contact with the member which tongue includes means to allow screw fitting to the member.
  • the or each component may itself comprise more than one component for example including a base fitting plate for fitting to the respective member and a fitting component for fitting to the fitting plate and to enable interconnection of the first and second components.
  • the first member is a base unit and the second member is a door to be fitted to the base unit.
  • the major component of the hinge is provided on the door and not on the base unit and therefore the component provided on the base unit does not provide any hindrance to people working on the base units.
  • the relative positions of the components may be adjusted by means of fitting screw provided.
  • the screw fitting can be used to adjust the positions of the first and second components with regard to themselves and also the first and second members.
  • the hinge can therefore be adjusted to find the best working arrangement.
  • the second component includes a cover slide member which member in fitting the two components of the hinge together slides over the second component and snap locks when correctly fitted.
  • cover means may also be provided with suitably located holes to allow adjustment of the screw fittings and therefore of the hinge with the second component fitted.
  • the components are snap locked together in the correct alignment and this snap lock may be released by insertion of a suitable tool into a slot provided in the cover of the first component.
  • the hinge components are preferably cast from a metal or metal alloy.
  • FIG. 1 in general there is shown an example of a hinge 1 made in accordance with the present invention and design for fitting of a for example a door D to a base unit of a cabinet. C.
  • the hinge 1 includes a first component 2 for fitting to the base unit and a second component 3 for fitting to the door to be fitted to the base unit.
  • the first component 2 includes a fitting plate 4 and a fitting member 5 located in and secured to the fitting plate 4.
  • the fitting plate 4 is provided with a number of fixing holes 25 so that it can be screw fitted to the base unit and a tongue 6 that extends from one end thereof.
  • the screw fittings for the fitting plate 4 may also provide means of adjusting the position and aspect of the fitting plate and therefore the first component with respect to the base unit.
  • the tongue 6 When fitted to the base unit the tongue 6 extends outwardly of the fitting plate 4 conforming to the surface of the base unit and is bent so that it extends around the edge of the base unit adjacent the fitting whilst still conforming to the surface of the base unit.
  • the tongue 6 is also provided with a fitting hole 25a so that it can be secured to the base unit.
  • the fixing hole is replaced with a spike pressed from the material of the tongue 6
  • the fitting member 5 comprises a plate like member having a slightly curved upper surface 26.
  • the fitting member 5 can be located on the fitting plate 4 and secured in position thereon.
  • the fitting member 5 includes two protrusions 7 that locate in slots 8 provided in the fitting plate 4 to correctly locate and position the two components with respect to each other.
  • fitting member 5 may also include through bores 9 to allow access to the screw fitting the fitting plate 4 to the base unit.
  • One of the through bores 9 may be used to provide means to secure the fitting member 5 to the fitting plate 4.
  • the fitting member 5 is provided with side vanes 10 extending substantially along the sides of the fitting member 5.
  • the second component 3 is the major component of this design of hinge 1 and comprises a fitting plate 12 and a fixing member 13.
  • the fitting plate 12 includes a well-shaped section 14 that locates into an indent provided in the door to be fitted.
  • the fitting plate 12 is secured in position in the door via screw fittings via holes 15a provided in a skirt 15 of the fitting plate 12.
  • the fitting plate is also provided with fixing means comprising a post 12a to enable the fitting member 13 to be securely fitted to the fitting plate 12 via slot 13a.
  • the fitting member 13 includes at one end an L shaped member 16 which on its major side includes means 13a to allow securing fitting of the fitting member 13 to the fitting plate 12 and on its lesser side has a through bore 17 to enable pivotal mounting of attachment means 18 that interconnects with the first component 2.
  • the attachment means 18 includes a cover member 19 having an open-end 19a and is dimensioned to conform and slide over the fitting member 5 of the first component 2.
  • the attachment means 18 has an upper surface 20 and two side surfaces 21. Each of the side surfaces is provided with an internal running rail 23, which towards the open-end 19a may be provided with chamfering.
  • the other end of the attachment means 18 is closed and includes a downwardly extending portion 24 which portion 24 includes a downwardly extending portion 27 including two perpendicularly extending members 28.
  • Each of the members 28 is provided with a through bore 29.
  • the attachment means 18 is pivotally fixed to the L-shaped member 16 via an axle 30 in a sleeve 31 arrangement that is passes through the through bores 17 and 39.
  • first and second components are fitted to the base unit and door, usually pre-fitted in a factory.
  • the door and the base unit may then be brought together on site and the attachment means 18 slid over the first component with the vanes 10 of the first component engaging and being guided by the running rails of the attachment means of the second component.
  • a snap lock component When correctly located with respect to each other a snap lock component will inter-engage and the secure the two components with respect to each other
  • the snap lock arrangement may comprise a simply displaceable resilient lever that is displaced as the attachment member 18 is slid onto the first component and snaps back to engage in a slot. This arrangement is easily released so the two components of the hinge can be separated. Thus is carried out for example by inserting a suitable member, such as a screw drive into the slot and movement of the attachment member so that the lever engages the attachment member again.
