[0001] The present invention relates to a floor-embedded locking device for a door, in particular
for an all-glass door, comprising a pivot pin device.
[0002] The pivot axis of a door such as an all-glass door may comprise a device wherein
a pivot pin of a floor-embedded locking device is non-rotationally received so that
said pivot pin is pivoted together with a pivotally supported receiving bush when
the door is pivoted, with said receiving bush being surrounded by a cam plate which
is engaged by a spring-mounted, longitudinally displaceable piston. Depending on the
particular application, for example the respective thickness of the floor covering,
the pivot pin is manufactured with such a length that a sufficiently long portion
of it protrudes upwardly from the floor-embedded locking device, and is then installed
in the floor-embedded locking device.
[0003] As disclosed in US 3 496 594 A, an adjustable coupler of a design is known that permits
for adjustably coupling a floor embedded door closer to a pivot or butt hinge mounted
door while permitting access to the door closer without unhinging the door. A closer
arm is provided which is adapted for door mounting and also connection to the projecting
pivot pin portion of the door closer. The closer arm has an enlarged head receiving
the slotted projecting pivot pin portion which has a hexagonal cross-section and includes
a tapered threaded bore receiving an expanding screw to expand the slotted pivot pin
portion into tight frictional contact with the closer arm head.
[0004] Pivot pins of floor-embedded locking devices may comprise, for example, as known
from DE 22 18 498 A1, showing the features according to the preamble portion of claim
1, adjacent to and below its annular collar a shank portion formed as a truncated
pyramid which engages into a receiving bush having a matching internal shape. Although
this design enables the pivot pin to be non-rotationally received in the receiving
bush, the precise dimensions of the particular application need to be known beforehand,
since the length of the pivot pin portion protruding from the floor-embedded locking
device may not be adjusted at the assembly site. As a result, it is often necessary
to provide a choice of pivot pins with different shank lengths at the assembly site.
Furthermore, the pivot pin must be replaced by another one having a different length
when the distance between the upper edge of the floor-embedded locking device and
the lower edge of the door is changed lateron, for example due to the provision of
another floor covering.
[0005] A pivot device for a floor-embedded locking device is known from DE 30 33 363 A1,
with the pivot pin being axially fixed at a seat portion by means of screws and coupling
members so that it is non-rotationally supported. The pivot pin comprises a plurality
of notches extending transversely to its longitudinal direction, at which notches
the pivot pin may be cut to the required length. Thus, it is also necessary to provide
pivot pins with sufficiently long shanks at the assembly site, which are then assembled
at the required length. If there is a change lateron in the dimensions of the assembly
site, for example an alteration of the floor height, a new pivot pin which has the
required new length has to be provided.
[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide a floor-embedded locking device
with a pivot device that may be adapted to the particular dimensions of the respective
assembly site.
[0007] The aforementioned problem is solved by a floor-embedded locking device comprising
the features as claimed in claim 1. In accordance with the present invention, the
floor-embedded door locking device is provided with a pivot device comprising a pivot
pin with an annular collar and a non-circular shank formed adjacent to said collar,
said shank having a uniform cross-section along its length, and a rotatably supported
receiving bush whose shape matches that of the shank and wherein the pivot pin is
received in a non-rotational and axially displaceable manner. The shank is formed
as a sleeve comprising a slotted expansion portion which is engaged by a threaded
bolt extending in an axial hole of the pivot pin, by means of which threaded bolt
the expansion portion may be radially expanded so that it is clampingly locked in
the receiving bush.
[0008] The present invention enables the shank of the pivot pin to be inserted into the
receiving bush by a length required by the dimensional features of the particular
application, i.e. so that the pivot pin protrudes from the floor-embedded locking
device by such a length that the respective door may be received thereon as required.
When the threaded bolt is threaded into the axial hole, the expansion portion of the
shank, which is formed by slots provided in the shank, is radially expanded so that
it is clamp-fitted in the receiving bush. A particular advantage of the device according
to the present invention consists in the fact that the pivot pin may be axially displaced
in the receiving bush by removing or unscrewing the threaded bolt from the axial hole
in the shank. If there is a change in the dimensions of the door assembly, for example
due to the installation of a floor covering of different thickness in the respective
room, it is not necessary to install a new or different pivot pin in the floor-embedded
locking device to accommodate the changed distance between the lower edge of the door
and the upper edge of the floor-embedded locking device. Instead, the pivot pin merely
has to be unlocked from its present clamping position, and clamp-fitted anew at the
newly required position in the receiving bush.
[0009] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, one or more plain washers,
rings or the like may be placed between the annular collar of the pivot pin and the
receiving bush, which may also be easily removed if no longer required. In this embodiment,
the pivot pin is not only held by means of a clamping fit, but in addition its annular
collar is positively supported on the washer placed on the receiving bush and under
the annular collar.
[0010] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the expansion portion
of the shank extends from the free end of the shank to the centre thereof as seen
in the longitudinal direction. However, the expansion portion may also extend to a
position close to the annular collar of the pivot pin, or it may extend from the longitudinal
centre of the shank in both directions towards the ends thereof, terminating at a
distance from the two ends of the shank so that it is formed approximately in the
central third of the length of the shank.
[0011] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the axial hole of the
pivot pin is provided with an internal thread as well as a conical countersinking
that is formed in the expansion portion extending from the free end of the shank and
tapers towards the annular collar. The external thread of the threaded bolt engages
the internal thread of the axial hole, and the threaded bolt comprises a conical head
portion at its free end which abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the conical
countersinking. When the threaded bolt is accordingly rotated, it moves upwardly so
that the conical head portion abutting against the peripheral wall of the countersinking
in the expansion portion is moved towards the annular collar, and causes the expansion
portion of the shank to expand.
[0012] According to another further embodiment of the present invention, the axial hole
of the pivot pin is formed as a cylindrical counterbore within the pivot pin and has
a shoulder formed adjacent to the bottom of the bore. The counterbore is adjoined
by a portion of the hole which is smaller in diameter than the counterbore and which
terminates, within the expansion portion extending from the free end of the shank,
in a conical countersinking tapering towards the annular collar. The threaded bolt
according to this embodiment is designed as a head screw which has its head supported
on said shoulder at the bottom of the bore, and which has a conical locknut screwed
onto its thread, said locknut abutting against the inner peripheral wall of the conical
countersinking. When the threaded bolt is being rotated, the locknut abutting against
the peripheral wall of the conical counterbore is moved upwardly towards the screw
head so that it causes the expansion portion of the shank to expand. The conical surfaces
of the locknut and the counterbore may be designed such that the locknut is prevented
from rotating together with the threaded bolt when the latter is being rotated.
[0013] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, the axial bore of the
pivot pin comprises a threaded portion and, within the expansion portion, a conical
portion which tapers towards the end of the shank. The threaded bolt is threaded into
the threaded portion and abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the conical portion.
The expansion portion, and thus the conical portion tapering towards the end of the
shank, may be provided such that they extend from the approximate centre in the longitudinal
direction of the shank to the free end thereof. Alternatively, the expansion portion
comprising the conical portion tapering towards the end of the shank may also be formed
in the central third of the length of the shank so that the shank is not expanded
at its free end but at its centre, resulting in a convex shape.
[0014] According to a further development of the above embodiment, the threaded portion
is formed at least partially along the conical portion, with the threaded bolt being
conical as well. When the conically formed threaded bolt is threaded into the at least
partly threaded conical portion, it abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the
conical portion and causes the latter to expand.
[0015] The threaded bolt comprises a tool engaging recess at its end facing the end of the
pivot pin, which may be formed as a slot, a cross recess, a hexagon socket, a square
socket, or an internal serration profile. As an alternative, the threaded bolt may,
for example, be provided with a square journal at its free end facing the free end
of the pivot pin, which may be engaged by a tool having a square socket so that the
threaded bolt may be operated.
[0016] According to a preferred embodiment, the shank of the pivot pin has a hexagonal outer
shape, and the receiving bush has a hexagonal inner shape. However, it is also possible
to provide the outside of the shank and the inside of the receiving bush with a square
or other polygonal shape.
[0017] The present invention will now be described in more detail and by way of example
with reference to the accompanying drawing showing at least schematical views of embodiments
of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is an exploded view of a pivot device;
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment according to claim 4 of the present
invention;
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment according to claim 5 of the present
invention;
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment according to claim 6 of the present
invention; and
Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment according to claim 6 of the
present invention.
[0018] Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of a pivot device 1 of a floor-embedded locking device
for a door, with body 17 of floor-embedded locking device being shown as a fragment
only. The pivot device 1 comprises a pivot pin 2 having a pivot pin portion 4 which
is formed by two opposing plane surfaces and designed to engage into the door device.
Pivot pin portion 4 is adjoined by an annular collar 5 which is adjoined by a hexagonal
shank 6. An expansion portion, which in this embodiment comprises six slots 7 that
are each formed in one of the six peripheral surfaces of the hexagon, extends from
the free end of the shank 6 to approximately the centre thereof as seen in the longitudinal
direction. The receiving bush 3 which is pivotally supported (not shown) in the floor-embedded
locking device 17 also comprises a hexagonal inner shape. An axial hole 8 extends
through the pivot pin 2 and is engaged by the threaded bolt (not shown) by means of
which the expansion portion may be expanded. Two plain washers 9 are placed between
the pivot pin 2 and the receiving bush 3 so that they rest on the end face of the
receiving bush 3. The annular collar 5 of the pivot pin 2 is supported on the upper
washer 9. The heigth of protrusion of the pivot pin 2 from the floor-embedded locking
device 17 may be adjusted by means of the washers 9. Shank 6, which is axially displaceable
in the receiving bush 3, is inserted into the receiving bush 3 with the washers 9
placed therebetween so that the mounting height of the pivot pin 2 is adjusted in
accordance with the dimensional characteristics of the particular application. Then
the threaded bolt is threaded into the axial hole 8 so that the expansion portion
is expanded, causing the pivot pin 2 to be clamp-fitted in the receiving bush 3.
[0019] Fig. 2 shows the cross-sectional view of a pivot device 1 of a floor-embedded door
locking device, comprising a receiving bush 3 wherein a pivot pin 2 is non-rotationally
received. The upper portion 4 of the pivot pin, which is to be received by a door
device, is adjoined by an annular collar 5 which is in turn adjoined by a shank 6
of the pivot pin 2. The axial hole 8 of this embodiment comprises a thread which extends
through the pivot pin 2. A conical countersinking 10 which tapers towards the annular
collar 5 is provided in the expansion portion formed by slots 7 and extending from
the free end of shank 6 to approximately the longitudinal centre thereof. A threaded
bolt 11 is threaded into said axial hole 8, with the conical head portion of the threaded
bolt 11 abutting against the inner peripheral wall of the conical countersinking 10.
The end of the threaded bolt 11 which is remote from the conical head portion is formed
with a tool engaging recess in the shape of a hexagon socket. The pivot pin 2 may
be clamp-fitted in the receiving bush 3 by threading the threaded bolt 11 into the
axial hole 8 so that the conical head of the threaded bolt 11 is moved upwardly within
the conical countersinking 10 and thus causes the free end of the shank 6 to expand.
[0020] In Fig. 3, the axial hole 8 comprises a cylindrical counterbore 12 in the upper portion
of the pivot pin, with a shoulder being formed at the bottom 13 of the bore. The counterbore
12 is adjoined by a hole portion which is smaller in diameter than the counterbore
12 and, in this embodiment, extends to the conical countersinking 10. The threaded
bolt 11 is formed as a hexagon socket screw whose head is supported on the shoulder
at the bottom 13 of the bore, and has a conical locknut 14 threaded onto its free
end which abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the countersinking 10. When the
threaded bolt 11 is screwed into the hole, the locknut 14, which abuts against the
peripheral wall, is moved upwardly so that it expands the free end of the shaft 6.
The locknut 14 comprises a protruding pin 16 at its lateral surface which engages
into one of the slots 7 so that the locknut 14 is fixed against rotation at the conical
surface of the countersinking 10.
[0021] As may be seen from Fig. 4, the axial bore 8 of the pivot pin 2 comprises a threaded
portion which substantially extends from the pivot pin to the expansion portion in
the shank 6. The threaded portion is adjoined by a hole portion 17 which is smaller
in diameter than the threaded portion and extends approximately across the two upper
thirds of the length of shank 6. It is adjoined by a conical portion 15 which tapers
towards the free end of the shank 6. The threaded bolt 11 comprises a cylindrical
extension in the form of a journal 18 whose free end abuts against the inner peripheral
wall of the conical portion 15, with the diameter of the journal 18 being smaller
than that of the threaded bolt 11.
[0022] A further embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 5, wherein the expansion
portion with the slots 7 is provided approximately in the central third of the length
of the shank rather than at the free end of the shank 6. The axial hole 8 comprises
a cylindrical counterbore which extends to the expansion portion and is adjoined by
the conically tapering portion 15 formed in the expansion portion. In this embodiment,
the conical portion is at least partially formed with a thread, and the threaded bolt
11 also has a conical shape. When the threaded bolt 11 is screwed into the hole, its
threads abut against the peripheral wall of the conical portion 15 so that the expansion
portion of the shank 6 is convexly expanded.
