Description

Anchoring element for hardware.

The present invention aims at a anchoring element for hardware, which can be used to fix accessories or parts to metal hardware profiles, by For example, the hinges that connect the fixed frame to the mobile frame.

The association of these parties to the structure of fixed and mobile frames in hardware is one of the factors that considerably increases installation costs of this type of hardware, in terms of time and dedication required For such operations.

This problem is even more evident in those cases in which, for example, the fittings open only in / out, where the hinge association is most of the total installation operations of the ironwork.

The two halves of the hinge are usually fixed, one in the fixed part of the frame and the other in the mobile frame, directly on the metal profiles that form the two frames using self-locking screws. Such a solution is not adequate, to from the fact that the movable wing cannot be adjusted once mounted and, in addition, heavy wings do not receive support enough.

Another method envisages working on the profile to allow hinge fixation, making two holes through the first and introducing screws to be tightened in targos within the profile, which is equivalent to say, on the side of the opposite profile facing the half hinge; without However, this solution requires, mainly with respect to fixed frame, work before installing the frame in the opening of The door or window.

Another variation is the use of slots, to fix the hinge to the hardware frame (even after the installation of the fixed frame), formed by parallel pairs of flanges or moldings in metal profiles, with protruding fins facing each other each; said flanges or moldings constitute a kind of "C" shaped cross section channel, sides minors constitute opposite "L" shaped sections and symmetric This solution uses a "conventional" type of tarugo, which can be associated with a particular type of hinge by means of screws, with a profiled bottom section projected to fit into a corresponding section of the tarugo, on a convex surface; gradual tightening causes the sliding of the tarugo along the convex surface, so that a longitudinal portion of the tarugo, and therefore a portion of the Hinge base are introduced in the two sections in the form of "L".

This solution, although it allows hinges be fixed to frames with channels of different shapes, you need the use of a special hinge projected for the profile in question; With this method, it is not possible to use most of the hinges, since they use parts in general that use the same method fixing, from the fact that such parts or accessories They usually do not have such a convex surface.

In addition, the profiles of different series vary in size, in the sense that the depth and width of the already mentioned "C" shaped channels differ in the various series of profiles; such difference in size is very important, since which affects not only the distance between the two flanges or moldings that define the channel, but also the distance between said opposite fins (i.e. the terminal section in the form of "L" of the "C" shaped channel).

For such reasons, the profiles are divided in series classified and denominated with said distances, which, by example, it can vary from a series that foresees the distance between the 14 mm flanges and the distance between the 10 mm fins, and a series that provides for these distances the values of 18 and 14 mm respectively.

Those differences in profile series are not supported very well by the connections between the two sections of the tarugo-half hinge accessory; in the sense that these connections are "rigid", so that the plugs and hinges are generally "dedicated" only to one type of profile, and cannot be used on another profile series.

The object of the present invention, therefore, is that of overcoming the aforementioned inconveniences with anteriority.

The present invention, as described in claims 1 and 2 below, resolves the problem of providing an anchoring device for hardware, which you can use with accessories or parts to associate with the profiles, without the need for accessories to have a particular shape, allowing metal profiles of various sizes to be fixed with an anchoring element for fittings, which can be used to secure an accessory to a metal profile with a seat defined by two flanges that form a profile shaped "C"; The base of the accessory consists of two parts that are extend longitudinally, the height of the first without exceeding the profile height and projected to be introduced in the seat, defining an oblique internal surface with an edge; the element anchor has a first tooth, whose height does not exceed that of the profile; the anchoring element, opposite the first tooth, it has an inclined surface, designed to stand against the inclined surface, and a second tooth that is placed against the oblique surface; the part that corresponds to the first tooth has a bevel, to allow the introduction of the element in the seat, introducing the first tooth under the second fin and subsequently the lower section of the accessory.

One of the advantages of this anchoring element is one that can be used in profiles of different sizes, without the need for parts specially designed for specific dimensions of the profile to which it must be fixed.

Another advantage is the fact that the accessories or parts can be fixed to the frame even after it has been installed

With reference to the attached drawings, the invention refers to an anchoring element (1) for hardware, which is you can use to associate an accessory or part (2) to a profile metallic (30) on the hardware.

The attached figures illustrate examples of use with a hinge (2) consisting of two halves; obviously if the accessory to fix to the profile is of different length, the length Element (1) will vary, depending on the requirements.

The profile (30) has at least one seat of longitudinal development (3), defined by two opposite flanges and parallels (31a and 31b) with a profile formed in "L" or "T", each of them having at least one fin (33a and 33b) that protrudes in the direction of the opposite flange (31b or 31a). This creates a "C" shaped profile or seat (3), whose width (L) is equal to that of the distance between the flanges (31a and 31b) and the height (H) is equal to that of their height flanges

The accessory or part (2), in this case a semi-hinge, has a base that is composed of two 5 parts (21 and 22) that extend with longitudinal development creating a concave section (C), the height (H21) of the first (21) without exceeding the height (H) of the profile (3), projected to be introduced into the seat (3) under a first fin (33a) and defining an oblique internal surface (SO) with an edge
(3. 4).

In the examples illustrated in Figures 3, 4 and 5, and in the half-hinge shown in the upper part of Figure 8, the height (H21) of the section (21) does not exceed the height (H) of the profile (3), said section (21) to be introduced in the seat (3), under a first fin (33a).

In the example illustrated by the half-hinge lower in the comparative example of figure 8, section (21) it is only partially inserted in the seat (3); in the figure, the seat (3) is shown to the left of the fin (33a) that is represented by a solid or dashed line to illustrate respectively the greater or lesser width of the seat (3).

The screws (4) are provided for the approach of the element and the accessory (2), and are introduced in the relative seats (41) with corresponding seats complementary threads in the element (1) and accessory (2), and that they pass through the holes (24) of the accessory (2).

The length and configuration of the item anchor (1) is widely cuneiform, with a surface upper (9) designed to fit against the accessory (2) and a lower surface, or base (10) to be fixed against the section of the profile that rests between the two flanges (31a and 31b).

The anchoring element has a first tooth (11), which extends longitudinally and laterally along the anchoring element (1), with a height (H11) that does not exceed that of the profile (3). On the opposite side of the first tooth (11), the element anchor (1) has an inclined surface (P1), designed to stand against the oblique surface (SO) of the hinge (2) the P1 angle complementing that of the oblique surface.

The inclined surface (P1) of the element of anchor (1) has an inclined profile, shaped to define a second tooth (12), designed to stand against the mentioned oblique surface (SO) of the accessory (2).

In addition, in correspondence of the first tooth (11), the element has a bevel (13) that extends along the length of the anchoring element (1), projected to allow the introduction, as illustrated in figure 5, of the element (1), loosely associated with the accessory (2), in the seat (3), introducing the first tooth (11) under the second fin (33b) and subsequently said first lower section (21) of the accessory (2).

On the upper surface (9), in correspondence of an edge (15) that delimits the upper part of the surface inclined (P1), the element (1) has a second bevel (14), which is extends longitudinally along the anchoring element (1) designed to allow said upper surface (9) to lean without interfering with the accessory (2), when the first tooth (11) is inserted under the second fin (33b).

As can be seen in figures 1, 3 and 7, the anchoring element (1) can be fixed with a pair of appendages or fins (16) extending longitudinally over the face external of the same element, its lengths being approximately equal to the distance (L) between the element (1) once located on the hardware and a section (39) of the same hardware (30), the fins projected to allow an exact location resting the free end of one of said fins (16) on the section (39) of the hardware.

In those cases in which the accessory to fix cannot make direct contact with the hardware, for example, when, as illustrated in figure 7, there is a seal (38) that should not be adjusted in correspondence of the naughty lower, the fins (16) allow a correct placement of the element (1), by simply associating the element with the profile (30).

Each of said appendages or fins (16) may have an outstanding end (17) arranged at right angles to the axis longitudinal (A) of the anchoring element (1), so as to create a grip for the anchoring element (1) and a means of square location of the same element on a section (39) of the hardware, which in figure 7 is represented by the Naughty bottom.

As shown in the comparative examples of Figures 9 and 10, which have amplified details of sections cross-sections of the anchoring element (1), as added to the example shown in figure 8, the seats (41) for the screws (4) are can be placed according to different angles with respect to the body of the element (1).

In these figures, the accessory is a hinge and the seat angle (41) with respect to the base (10) of the element (1) may vary according to the angle (α) defined, in the hinge (2), by the section (25) that is closest to the hinge pivot and the section (26) in which the fixing holes are provided
(24).

In the example of figure 10, the angle formed by sections (25 and 26) it is equivalent to 90º, therefore, the angle (?) formed by the axis (X) of the seats (41) with with respect to the plane formed by the base (10) of the element (1) is a right angle. In the example in figure 9, where the angle (?) formed by the two sections is greater than 90º, it is provided a corresponding angle (?) between the axis (X) of the seats (41) and the plane formed by the base (10) of the element (1) (in the example, the angle (?) Is supplementary to the angle (\beta). In figure 10, the bevel (13) of the first tooth (11) It is rounded.
