[0001] The subject of the invention is a hinge with a closer for mosquito screen self-closing
in which the closing mechanism is placed in the upper and lower part of the hinge.
[0002] The door and window closing mechanisms as a separately mounted mechanisms applied
for closing door to door and casing or for closing windows to window frame and casing.
[0003] A hinge joint for movable closures of building shell openings with a springing element
responsible for the force which restores the primary closed state position and one
part of the hinge mounted on the closure while the second is mounted on the opening
and the hinge pin on one of the two hinge parts (18), entering a guiding opening to
the second hinge part, characterized by the springing element mounted as a tortion
spring on the hinge pin on one side and on the first hinge part with the guiding opening
on the second side, is known from the German patent claim
DE 102008045772A1.
[0004] The hinge with a closer constituting of a lower and upper hinge parts, both equipped
with half-open clamps, inside of which a turning and sliding tube has been placed
for connecting the hinge parts, equipped with a circumferenctial ring and a cylyndric
spring on the inside, with angular deflections at the endings, is, according to the
invention, characterised by a cylyndrical passage with circumferential protrusions
in the upper hinge part, contacting the circumferential protrusions placed under the
collar of the tightening element with a key socket, while one end of the cylyndric
spring is mounted in the opening and the other is mounted in the opening of the retainer
mounted separately with a retaining ring in the lower hinge part. At the circuit of
the cyllindrical passage and at the circuit of the tightening element collar, four
circumferential protrusions have been placed. Each and every of the protrusions have
a curved top surface, or all the protrusions have a flat top surface. The lower part
of the tightening element contains an axial groove inside of which an opening perpendicular
to the grove has been placed. The lower part of the retainer contains an axial groove
with an opening perpendicular to the grove.
[0005] The advantage of the hinge with a closer in accordance with the invention is the
easy adjustment without the necessity to unmount the hinge. The initial tension of
the hinge is adjusted in steps, every 90° with an allen key introduced into the tightening
element and turned clockwise. The tightening element and the upper hinge part have
overlapping sufaces. The hinge is also characterised by the lower part used both for
left and right wing applications.
[0006] The example subject of the invention has been presented as an illustration, the fig.
1 of which shows the axonometric front ciew of the hinge and closer elements in the
mounting order, fig. 2 shows the axonometric front view of the mounted hinge, fig.
3 shows the side view of the spring, fig. 4 shows the axonometric view of the upper
hinge part, fig. 5 shows the top view of the upper hinge part, fig. 6 shows the top
view of the tightening element, fig. 7 shows the axonometric bottom view of the tightening
element, fig. 8 shows the axonometric front view of the retainer and the fig. 9 shows
the front view of the retainer.
[0007] As given in the illustration, the mounting of the hinge with closer consists in the
connection of the tightening element
1 with the end
2 of the spring
3, and, following that, introducing the parts vertically and from top into the sliding
tube
5, which has been earlier introduced from bottom into the upper hinge part
4. Next, the end
6 of the spring
3 is introduced into the retainer
7 and the whole construction is introduced into the lower hinge part
8, protected against turning in the cylindrical passage
9 with a steady pin
10.
[0008] The upper hinge part
4 has a cylyndrical passage
11 inside, equipped with circumferential protrusions
12 from the top, contacting the circumferential protrusions
12' placed under the collar
13 of the tightening element
1 with a key socket
14 on top, while one end
2 of the cylyndric spring
3 is mounted in the opening
15 and the other
6 is mounted in the opening
16 of the retainer
7 mounted separately with a steady pin
10 in the lower hinge part
8. At the circuit of the cyllindrical passage
11 and at the circuit of the tightening element
1 collar
13, four circumferential protrusions
12, 12' have been placed. Each and every of the protrusions
12, 12' has a curved top surface
17, or all the protrusions
12, 12' have a flat top surface
17. The lower part of the tightening element
1 contains an axial groove
18 inside of which an opening
15 perpendicular to the grove has been placed while the lower part of the retainer
7 contains an axial groove
19 with an opening
16 perpendicular to the grove.
1. The hinge with a closer constituting of a lower and upper hinge parts, both equipped
with half-open clamps, inside of which a turning and sliding tube has been placed
for connecting the hinge parts, equipped with a circumferenctial ring and a cylyndric
spring on the inside, with angular deflections at the endings, is characterised by the upper hinge part (4) having a cylyndrical passage (11) inside, equipped with circumferential protrusions (12) at the top, contacting the circumferential protrusions (12') placed under the collar (13) of the tightening element (1) with a key socket (14) on top, while one end (2) of the cylyndric spring (3) is mounted in the opening (15) and the other (6) is mounted in the opening (16) of the retainer (7) mounted separately with a steady pin (10) in the lower hinge part (8).
2. The hinge, according to the claim 1, is characterized by four circumferential protrusions (12), (12') at the circuit of the cyllindrical passage (11) and at the circuit of the tightening element (1) collar(13).
3. The hinge, according to the claim 1, is characterized by the fact that each of the protrusions (12), (12') has a curved top surface (17)
4. The hinge, according to the claim 1, is characterized by the fact that each of the protrusions (12), (12') has a flat top surface (17)
5. The hinge, according to the claim 1, is characterized by the fact that the lower part of the tightening element (1) contains an axial groove (18) inside of which an opening (15) perpendicular to the grove has been placed.
6. The hinge, according to the claim 1, is characterized by the fact that the lower part of the retainer (7) contains an axial groove (19) with an opening (16) perpendicular to the grove.
