Field of application
[0001] The present invention refers to a retainer for fixing a hinge, in particular concealable/retractable,
on metal door/window profiles, to a hinge assembly for metal door/window profiles
and to a method for fixing a hinge, in particular concealable/retractable, on metal
door/window profiles, according to the preamble of the respective independent claims.
[0002] The present retainer is intended to be employed in the door/window field, or in the
field of interior decoration/furnishing, in association with hinges mainly of concealable/retractable
type (or also termed "invisible") for mounting movable members, such as wings in particular
of doors, with respect to fixed structures such as the frame of a door integral with
the walling.
[0003] The doors/windows for which the present invention is intended are of the type constituted,
mainly perimetrically, by metal profiles and in particular by extruded metal profiles,
while the hinges are as stated, mainly but not exclusively, of concealable/retractable
type, i.e. not visible from the outside when the movable member is in a closed position,
since all the elements that constitute them are substantially completely inserted
within the door/window itself, on which they are mounted.
[0004] The present retainer, object of the invention, is therefore inserted in the field
of metal doors/windows or in the field of production of accessories for metal doors/windows.
State of the art
[0005] As is known, for some time in the field of doors/windows, hinges are usually constituted
by two hinge bodies, of which one is fixed to the fixed frame of the door/window (such
as the frame of a door) and one fixed to the movable member of the door/window, such
as a wing of a door, which are mechanically connected to each other by one or more
articulation arms.
[0006] In the case of the present invention, reference will be mainly made to a hinge of
concealable/retractable (or invisible) type, in which the bodies of the same hinge
are embedded within the structure of the movable member and of the fixed frame, such
that only portions of the articulation arms between the two bodies of the hinge itself
project beyond the shape thereof.
[0007] More in detail, with reference for the sake of description simplicity to the most
common door/window case considered herein, constituted by a door formed by a movable
wing and by a fixed frame, the concealable/retractable hinges of known type generally
provide that a first hinge body thereof is embedded in a first seat made in the thickness
of the movable wing and that a second hinge body thereof is embedded in a second seat
made in the fixed frame.
[0008] As is known in the case of wooden doors, each hinge body is fixed with screws to
the same wooden structure of the wing and of the frame while in the case, of interest
herein, of metal doors/windows it is necessary to arrange the retainers, i.e. shaped
plates, behind the openings made in the metal profile, in order to allow the fixing
of the hinge bodies to the same metal profile.
[0009] More clearly, the metal profiles which constitute the movable wing and the fixed
frame are usually obtained with extruded metal sections, normally steel, which are
substantially hollow and are joined at the corners for example with welds or brackets
in order to attain the entire perimeter structure of the wing and of the frame. Therefore,
in order to make the seats in which the hinge bodies are embedded, it is necessary
make shaped openings in the metal profile and then fix, in a position facing the same
openings, retainers usually made by means of the shaped plates which delimit the volume
of the seats in which the hinge bodies are then embedded. In the production process,
first the shaped openings are preferably frontally made by means of notching the plate,
so as to make the seats for embedding the hinge bodies, and then the retainers are
fixed by means of welding in the back, non-visible part of the frame.
[0010] More in detail, the shaped plate of the retainer defines a containment tank, which
together with the shaped opening forms the containment seat for the hinge body. Such
shaped plate is composed of a bottom wall, opposite the shaped opening on the metal
profile and of a perimeter wall which rises from the bottom wall with two short lateral
walls, opposite each other, and possibly joined by one or two elongated lateral walls.
The two short lateral walls then continue by means of a bend, at the opening, with
two flat wings, which are extended parallel to the bottom and are fixed, by means
of rivets, welds or other equivalent means, internally in abutment against the metal
profile of the door/window in opposite positions with respect to the opening in the
plate.
[0011] The retainer also comprises two anchoring elements fixed to the bottom wall of the
shaped plate and each provided with a nut screw directed towards the shaped opening
of said metal profile.
[0012] Each hinge body in turn comprises an elongated hull-shaped body, which at its interior
contains one or more articulation arms connected to the other hinge body, and two
fixing flanges which are extended towards the exterior of the hull-shaped body along
the direction of its main extension.
[0013] Each hinge body is embedded in the metal profile of the door/window with the hull-shaped
body and the flanges which are provided with peripheral profile that is counter-shaped
with respect to the opening made on the metal profile in order to be inserted to size
at its interior; in addition, the flanges are in abutment against the two anchoring
elements.
[0014] Screws are then provided which cross through provided through holes made in the flanges
of the hinge body and which are engaged with nut screws made in the anchoring elements
in order to fix the hinge body to the metal profile of the movable wing or of the
fixed frame.
[0015] The retainers for metal doors/windows of known type, briefly mentioned above, have
in practice shown that they do not lack drawbacks.
[0016] As indicated above, the shaped plate of the retainer is welded in the back part of
the metal profile of the fixed frame or of the movable wing, such that the plane between
the outer visible surface of the door/window where the opening of the seat is made
and the abutment plane defined by the ends of the anchoring elements is predefined
and constant. The thickness of the hinge body, and in particular of the fixing flanges,
therefore comes to determine the coplanarity of the visible side of the hinge on the
surface of the metal profile of the door/window.
[0017] On the other hand, the thickness of the metal sections which compose the fixed frames
and the movable wings can vary by several tenths of a millimeter, e.g. it can be comprised
in the interval between 12-20 tenths of a millimeter.
[0018] Consequently, in order to ensure the perfect coplanarity of the visible side of the
hinge bodies with respect to the surface of the door/window - a circumstance which
is indispensable, especially in the provided worksite tests when the work advancement
state is checked, i.e. the level of finish and installation of the doors/windows -
it is necessary to provide retainers provided with different depth (or hinges provided
with different thickness) or provide for a depth that is excessively increased in
order to then fill the lack of coplanarity with spacers.
[0019] The provision of making different retainers for the different thicknesses of the
doors/windows involves the drawback of a clear increase of the production costs, also
for the storage of a greater number of products in a warehouse/store.
[0020] Otherwise, the selection of using a single retainer for the different thicknesses
of metal profiles of doors/windows involves visible blemishes which are poorly tolerated
by increasingly-demanding clients. In addition, in the case of concealable/retractable
hinges, even in the case of closed wing, the opening which remains defined between
the lateral edge of the wing and the frame allows appreciating the lack of coplanarity
of the hinge body - even of only a few tenths of a millimeter - due to the visual
comparison with the parallel walls of the frame and of the door. In an even more evident
manner, with open wing it is in any case possible to appreciate the lack of coplanarity
of the hinge with respect to the surface of the frame; such lack of coplanarity represents
a clearly incorrect installation.
[0021] On other hand, attempting to collimate the surface of the hinge with that of the
wing or of the frame, by adding thicknesses between the flanges of the hinge body
and the anchoring elements of the retainer, involves long and complex implementation
operations which depend on the ability of the operator and which in any case do not
always allow attaining a perfect coplanarity of the hinge bodies with the metal profiles.
[0022] The patents
WO 2017/065699, which discloses a retainer according to the preamble of claim 1, and
DE 102015112640 describe some examples of concealable/retractable hinges of known type, wherein each
hinge body comprises an elongated hull-shaped body intended to be fixed, by means
of fixing screws, to the frame or to the wing of the door/window, and an adjustable
insert inserted in the hull-shaped body and carrying, hinged thereto, the articulation
arms of the hinge. In particular, the adjustable insert is connected to the corresponding
hull-shaped body by means of adjustment screws, which have the head idly constrained
in a shaped seat of the insert and the stem screwed in a corresponding hole of the
hull-shaped body. Such adjustment screws are actuatable, after the installation of
the door/window, in order to execute adjustment operations for the purpose of adjusting,
horizontally and/or vertically, the position of the wing of the door/window.
[0023] The hinges of known type described in the aforesaid documents
WO 2017/065699 and
DE 102015112640 provide for rigidly fixing the hinge body directly to the frame and, therefore, are
not suitable for use in metal doors/windows nor for resolving the problem of collimating
the surface of the hinge with that of the wing or of the frame of the door/window.
Presentation of the invention
[0024] Therefore, in this situation, the problem underlying the present invention is to
overcome the drawbacks of the abovementioned prior art, by providing a retainer for
fixing a hinge, in particular concealable/retractable, on metal door/window profiles,
which is employable with metal profiles of different thickness always ensuring a perfect
coplanarity of the hinges with the same metal profiles.
[0025] A further object of the present invention is to provide a retainer for fixing a hinge,
in particular concealable/retractable, on metal door/window profiles, and a hinge
assembly for metal door/window profiles, which are simple to use and inexpensive to
make.
[0026] A further object of the present invention is to provide a retainer for fixing a hinge,
in particular concealable/retractable, on metal door/window profiles and a hinge assembly
for metal door/window profiles, which are safe and entirely reliable in operation.
[0027] A further object of the present invention is to provide a method for fixing a hinge,
in particular concealable/retractable, on metal door/window profiles, which allows
easily reaching the perfect coplanarity between the visible side of the hinge bodies
and the outer surface of the metal profile of the frame on which the hinge is fixed.
These objects are achieved by a retainer according to claim 1 and a method for fixing
according to claim 9.

Detailed description
[0029] With reference to the enclosed drawings, reference number 1 overall indicates the
retainer, object of the present invention, which is adapted to make the fixing of
hinges, in particular concealable/retractable, generically indicated with 10, on metal
door/window profiles, generically indicated with 100.
[0030] The metal doors/windows are advantageously constituted by extruded metal profiles
100 joined together at the vertices, e.g. with angular brackets, to form the frames
of a fixed frame (and possibly of a movable wing) in a manner
per se known to the man skilled in the art of the field and thus not described in detail.
[0031] In particular, the metal door/window comprises a first profile 100' of the movable
wing and a second profile 100" of the fixed frame.
[0032] The second profile 100" (of the fixed frame) is made of metal material, e.g. by means
of one or more extruded sections.
[0033] The first profile 100' (of the movable wing) can also be made of metal, or of other
materials such as wood (as in the example of figures 9 and 10).
[0034] Therefore, the metal profiles 100 of the door/window can comprise both the first
and the second profile 100', 100", or otherwise only the second profile 100" of the
fixed frame (as in the example of figures 9 and 10).
[0035] The retainer 1 according to the invention is intended to be employed for fixing mainly
concealable/retractable hinges 10 of different type, whether they are for example
constituted by two or more articulation arms, provided with two or more fulcra or
able to allow the movable wing, e.g. a door, to rotate with respect to the fixed frame,
e.g. the frame of the door, by an angle comprised between 0 and 180 degrees from the
closed position of the door to the position of maximum opening of the door.
[0036] The concealable/retractable hinges - referred to by the preferred embodiment reported
in the enclosed figures, in a
per se entirely conventional manner, as is illustrated for example in figures 9 and 10 and
as is known to the man skilled in the art - consist of two hinge bodies, including
a first 11 intended to be associated with a metal profile 100 of the movable wing,
and a second 12, intended to be fixed to the metal profile 100 of a fixed frame. The
two hinge bodies 11 and 12 are joined together by at least one articulation arm 13,
which, with closed wing, is nearly entirely inserted in the hinge bodies (in at least
one hinge body) and is partially projecting therefrom with open wing, in a
per se known manner.
[0037] Each hinge body 11 and 12 comprises an elongated hull-shaped body 14, preferably
made of metal material, which appears as a box-like body provided with an open side
defining a passage for the crossing of the articulation arms 13. The latter are pivoted
within the elongated hull-shaped body 14 and serve to rotatably support the movable
wing with respect to the fixed frame. Each hinge body 11 and 12 is also provided with
two flat fixing flanges 15, which are extended along the main extension direction
of the hull-shaped body, outside the hull-shaped body and starting from the lateral
flanks thereof, in opposite directions from each other. The flanges 15 are obtained
integral with the hull-shaped body, e.g. via pressure die-casting in a mold of metal
material in accordance with the figures of the considered embodiment, or they can
be obtained as separate elements mechanically fixed to the hull-shaped body. The flat
flanges 15 are coplanar with each other and define a visible side of each hinge body
11, 12. On the visible faces of the two flanges, through holes 150 are preferably
made for the insertion of retaining screws 9 as specified hereinbelow.
[0038] Advantageously, each hinge body 11, 12 comprises an insert 14' inserted within the
corresponding elongated hull-shaped body 14 and fixed to the latter, e.g. by means
of connection screws 14". Such insert 14' carries, hinged thereto, the corresponding
end of the articulation arm 13 of the hinge 10. Optionally, according to one possible
embodiment, the position of the insert 14' can be adjusted within the elongated hull-shaped
body 14 by means of adjustment means of known type (and hence not described in detail)
in order to allow adjusting the position (e.g. vertical and/or horizontal) of the
wing on the lying plane of the door/window.
[0039] The retainer 1 according to the invention comprises a shaped plate 2, which is intended
to be fixed inside a metal profile 100 of the door/window (of the fixed frame and
possibly of the movable wing) in a position facing a provided shaped opening 101 made
in the same metal profile 100 by means of for example a plate cutting operation.
[0040] The hinge body 11, 12 is intended to be embedded within the metal profile 100 by
inserting it through the shaped opening 101 such that its visible side is arranged
in a manner coplanar with the outer surface 100A of the metal profile 100 of the door/window.
For such purpose, the hinge body 11, 12, once inserted in such position embedded in
the metal profile 100, is supported by the retainer 1 according to the invention,
as will be better specified hereinbelow, such that its visible side attains perfect
coplanarity with the outer surface 100A of the metal profile 100.
[0041] In accordance with that described above, even if two equivalent retainers 1 can be
provided for each hinge 10, including one fixed to the metal profile 100 of the movable
wing and one fixed to the metal profile 100 of the fixed frame, usually the hinge
is fixed to the wing without having to use a retainer, for example since the hinge
body is directly fixed to the profile of the wing in the frequent case of wooden doors
(as in the example of figures 9 and 10).
[0042] Generally, at least two hinges 10 will be provided for each door/window and preferably
three hinges 10 will be provided, so that, for example, in order to fix the hinges
of a door to the upright of the frame three or six retainers 1 will be used.
[0043] More in detail, the shaped plate 2 is provided with a bottom wall 3 and with two
flat wings 7, which are extended parallel to each other and to the bottom wall 3 from
which they are spaced by the depth of the shaped plate 2. The flat wings 7 are intended
to be fixed, by means of welds, rivets, screws or other similar means, in abutment
against the metal profile 100 of the door/window. More in detail, considering a shaped
opening 101 of the metal plate, with elongated shape, the flat wings 7 will be advantageously
fixed at the inner edge of the metal profile 100 at the opposite ends of the elongated
shape of the same shaped opening 101.
[0044] In this manner, the bottom wall 3 is able to face the opening 101 of the metal profile
100 in order to support a corresponding hinge body 11, 12 when the shaped plate 2
is fixed to the metal profile 100.
[0045] In accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the enclosed figures, the shaped
plate 2 has an elongated shape, defines a containment tank in particular by means
of the aforesaid bottom wall 3 as well as by means of a perimeter wall which rises
from the bottom wall 3 and is formed by two opposite short lateral walls 4, preferably
joined together by at least one elongated lateral wall 5.
[0046] The short lateral walls 4 and the elongated lateral wall 5 are made integral with
the bottom wall 3 from which they are extended with a first orthogonal bend 6'.
[0047] The short lateral walls 4 preferably continue with a second orthogonal bend 6" with
the abovementioned two flat wings 7.
[0048] For example, the shaped plate 2 with such bends is obtained with a production process
that starts from a flat sheet, which is first cut and then bent again by means of
multiple pressing operations in succession via cold molding.
[0049] Otherwise the same elongated plate with its abovementioned bends can be, still as
an example, obtained with a drawing process.
[0050] The retainer 1, according to the present invention, thus comprises at least two anchoring
bodies 8, which are fixed to the bottom wall 3 of the shaped plate 2, are each provided
with a first thread 83 and are preferably arranged at the lateral ends of the containment
tank of the shaped plate 2.
[0051] As will be better specified hereinbelow, in the case of the embodiments reported
in figures 1-3 and 8, the two anchoring groups 8 are extended protruding towards the
interior of the containment tank with a preferably cylindrical shape, with extension
axis substantially orthogonal to the bottom wall 3 of the shaped plate 2. The first
thread 83 is made, in accordance with such embodiment, outside the anchoring body
8. Otherwise, in the case of the embodiment of figure 7, the two anchoring groups
8 are extended projecting outwards of the containment tank and the first thread 83
is formed inside the anchoring body 8, or along a cylindrical hole made in the same
anchoring body 8.
[0052] In accordance with the idea underlying the present invention, the retainer 1 comprises
two adjustment bushes 84, each of which protruding inside the containment tank and
provided with an abutment end 80 intended to receive the hinge body 11, 12 in abutment.
In addition, each adjustment bush 84 is mechanically associated with a corresponding
anchoring body 8 by means of a second thread 86 thereof, which is adjustably engaged
with the first thread 83 of the same anchoring body 8 to vary the height of the abutment
end 80 with respect to the bottom wall 3 of the shaped plate 2.
[0053] The abutment ends 80 of the two adjustment bushes 84 are intended to receive in abutment
the two flat fixing flanges 15 of the hinge body 11, 12 and thus they determine the
depth with which the hinge bodies 11, 12 can be embedded within the shaped openings
101 of the metal profiles 100, and consequently also determine the planarity or lack
thereof of the fixing flanges 15 with respect to the outer surface 100A of the same
metal profile 100.
[0054] More clearly, by adjusting such height of the abutment end 80 with respect to the
bottom wall 3 of the shaped plate 2, the depth H (see figure 13) of the same abutment
end 80 of the two adjustment bushes 84 is determined with respect to the outer surface
100A of the metal profile 100 with which the two flat fixing flanges 15 of the hinge
body 11, 12 must be coplanar.
[0055] Above the fixing flanges 15, a covering plate 40 is advantageously provided for,
aimed to improve the appearance of the hinge 10 by concealing from view the screws
and the seat in the hinge body 11, 12 of the articulation arm 13. The adjustment of
the bushes 84 on the anchoring bodies 8 will in this case have to account for the
thickness S' of this plate 40 and thus the depth of the abutment end 80 of the two
adjustment bushes 84 will have to be adjusted in order to not only account for the
thickness of the fixing flanges 15.
[0056] Due to the engagement via screwing of the adjustment bushes 84 on the anchoring bodies
8, it is possible to vary through simple screwing and unscrewing operations of the
bushes 84, the height of their abutment end 80 and hence the depth at which the hinge
body 11, 12 is embedded. In this manner, it is always possible, upon varying the thickness
of the metal profile 100, to obtain a perfect coplanarity between the visible side
of the hinge body 11, 12 and the outer surface 100A of the metal profile 100, in which
the opening 101 is made.
[0057] The anchoring bodies 8 and the adjustment bushes 84 are in the form of substantially
cylindrical elements, mechanically engaged with each other in a relationship of screw/nut
screw type which allows, by rotating adjustment bush 84, making the abutment end 80
thereof project to a variable extent, hence this is movable, with respect to the relative
anchoring body 8, which instead is fixed and integral with the bottom wall 3 of the
shaped plate 2.
[0058] The retainer 1 comprises screw fixing means 90 configured for fixing the hinge body
11, 12 in abutment against the abutment end 80 of the adjustment bushes 84, in particular
in a manner such to retain the hinge body 11, 12 integral with the adjustment bushes
84 in the desired position defined by the abutment end 80 of the latter in accordance
with that described above.
[0059] Suitably, the screw fixing means 90 are engaged with the anchoring bodies 8 or with
the adjustment bushes 84 depending on the different embodiments described in detail
hereinbelow.
[0060] In particular, the screw fixing means 90 allow fixing, in a stopped manner, the hinge
body 11, 12 to the retainer 1, maintaining it firmly in abutment against the abutment
ends 80 of the adjustment bushes 84, after the latter have been arranged at the suitable
height for arranging the hinge body 11, 12 coplanar with the outer surface 100A of
the metal profile 100.
[0061] According to the invention, each pair of elements formed by the anchoring body 8
and by the adjustment bush 84 defines an adjustment group with which a threaded hole
81, or nut screw, is associated (which thus, depending on the embodiment, can be made
on the anchoring body 8 or on the adjustment bush 84) susceptible of receiving the
engagement of a retaining screw 9 of the aforesaid screw fixing means 90 for the fixing
of the hinge body 11, 12 to the retainer 1 and hence to the metal profile 100.
[0062] In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention illustrated in figures
1-3, each of the two anchoring bodies 8 is fixed to the bottom wall 3 protruding towards
the interior of the containment tank, and is internally provided with the threaded
hole 81 and externally provided with the first thread 83.
[0063] In accordance with such embodiment, each of the two corresponding adjustment bushes
84 is provided with a through hole 85 susceptible of being crossed by the retaining
screw 9 and at least one portion thereof covered by the second thread 86. The latter
is engaged with the first outer thread 83 of the corresponding anchoring body 8 in
an adjustable manner such that by rotating the adjustment bush 84 it is possible to
easily vary the height of the free abutment end 80 of the bush 84 on which the fixing
flanges 15 of the hinge body 11, 12 are intended to be set.
[0064] Each adjustment bush 84 is provided, for such purpose, with a female socket 87, for
example obtained with a cavity of polygonal and in particular hexagonal shape, aligned
with the through hole 85 thereof and susceptible of being engaged by a tool provided
with a male head that is counter-shaped with respect to the female seat (e.g. an Allen
wrench, not illustrated) in order to adjust by means of screwing/unscrewing the position
of the adjustment bush 84 along the first thread 83 of the corresponding anchoring
body 8, so as to consequently vary the height of the abutment end 80.
[0065] The anchoring bodies 8 can be advantageously fixed to the bottom wall 3 of the shaped
plate 2 by means of welding (as illustrated in figure 3), riveting, pressure driving
or by means of still other means, or they can be fixed to the bottom wall 3 since
they are made integral with the same bottom wall 3 of the shaped plate 2, as illustrated
in figure 8. With the term "fixed" referred to the anchoring bodies 8, also anchoring
bodies 8 must be intended which are not separate elements from the shaped plate 2,
fixed to the bottom thereof, but rather are a portion thereof protruding internally
or externally with respect to the tank of the shaped plate 2 as indicated in figures
7 and 8.
[0066] Indeed, in accordance with a different embodiment of the retainer 1 according to
the present invention, illustrated in figure 7, each anchoring body 8 is extended
projecting outwards of the containment tank. In accordance with this embodiment, the
first inner thread 83 is in this case made within the anchoring body.
[0067] In this case, the threaded holes 81 for engaging the retaining screws 9 aimed to
retain the hinge bodies 11, 12 are made on the same adjustment bushes 84 starting
from their abutment ends 80.
[0068] In accordance with such embodiment, the adjustment bushes 84 are provided with a
stem 82 externally provided with the second thread 86 and engaged in the first thread
83 formed inside the anchoring body 8 projecting externally with respect to the tank
of the shaped plate 2.
[0069] Also in this case, the adjustment bush 84 defines, at a free end thereof, the abutment
end 80 on which the fixing flanges 15 of the hinge body 11, 12 come to be set.
[0070] In addition, also in this case, each adjustment bush 84 is provided with a female
socket 87 aligned with the threaded hole 81 and susceptible of being engaged by a
tool provided with a male head that is counter-shaped with respect to the female seat
in order to adjust, by means of screwing/unscrewing, the position of the adjustment
bush 84 along the inner thread 83 of the corresponding anchoring body 8, so as to
consequently vary the height of the abutment end 80.
[0071] Also forming the object of the present invention is a hinge assembly 50 for metal
doors/windows, illustrated in figures 9 and 10.
[0072] As indicated above, the door/window comprises a first profile 100' of the movable
wing provided with at least one first opening 101', and at least one second profile
100" of the fixed frame provided with at least one second opening 101" aligned height-wise
with the first opening 101'.
[0073] The second profile 100" (of the fixed frame) is made of metal, while the first profile
100' (of the movable wing) can be made of a non-metallic material, e.g. wood (as in
the example of figures 9 and 10) or it too can be made of metal material.
[0074] The assembly 50 comprises at least one hinge 10, preferably concealable/retractable,
provided with two hinge bodies 11, 12 joined together by at least one articulation
arm 13, and respectively insertable in the first and in the second opening 101', 101"
of the two profiles 100', 100" of the movable wing and of the fixed frame.
[0075] The assembly 50 also comprises at least one retainer 1 for each hinge 10 of the assembly
50 itself.
[0076] In particular, in accordance with the example of figures 9 and 10 (in which the first
profile 100' of the movable wing is made of wood), the assembly 50 comprises, for
each hinge 10, only one retainer 1 intended to be fixed to the second metal profile
100" of the fixed frame in order to connect the hinge body 12 to the latter, while
the other hinge body 11 is connected directly to the first profile 100' of the movable
wing. In accordance with a different non-illustrated embodiment, in which also the
first profile 100' of the movable wing is metal, the assembly 50 comprises, for each
hinge 10, two retainers 1, including a retainer 1 fixed to the second profile 100"
of the fixed frame and the other retainer 1 fixed to the first profile 100' of the
movable wing, in order to connect the hinge bodies 11, 12 to the corresponding profiles
100', 100".
[0077] The metal profiles 100" (and possibly 100'), the concealable/retractable hinge 10
and the retainers 1 with the anchoring groups 8 are of the type already described
above, hence for the sake of description simplicity the same reference numbers will
be maintained.
[0078] With reference to the example of figures 9 and 10, the shaped plate 2 of the retainer
1 is fixed inside the second metal profile 100" of the fixed frame at the second opening
101" for the embedded housing of the hinge body 12 of the hinge 10.
[0079] With reference to the (non-illustrated) embodiment in which both profiles 100', 100"
are metal, the two shaped plates 2 of the two retainers 1 are as follows: one is fixed
inside the first metal profile 100' of the movable wing and the other is fixed inside
the second metal profile 100" of the fixed frame at the respective first and second
opening 101', 101" for the embedded housing of the corresponding hinge body 11, 12
of the hinge 10.
[0080] For such purpose, the shaped plate 2 defines a containment tank for the corresponding
hinge body 12 (and possibly 11) and is provided with a bottom wall 3 facing the corresponding
opening 101" (and possibly 101').
[0081] The assembly 50 then provides for at least two anchoring bodies 8 for each shaped
plate 2, fixed to the bottom wall 3 of the latter at the two lateral ends and each
provided with a first thread 83.
[0082] According to the idea underlying the invention, the assembly 50 comprises two adjustment
bushes 84 for each shaped plate 2, protruding within the containment tank and each
provided with an abutment end 80, which supports the corresponding hinge body 11,
12 in abutment and is mechanically associated with one of the anchoring bodies 8 by
means of a second thread 86 adjustably engaged with the first thread 83 of the anchoring
body 8 to vary the height of the abutment end 80 with respect to the bottom wall 3
of the shaped plate 2.
[0083] In accordance with the examples already discussed above, each pair of elements formed
by the anchoring body 8 and by the adjustment bush 84 defines an adjustment group
with which a threaded hole 81 is associated (which thus, depending on the embodiment,
can be made on the anchoring body 8 or on the adjustment bush 84), which is engaged
by a retaining screw 9 associated with the head to the flanges of the hinge body 11,
12 so as to fix the same hinge body to the retainer 1 and hence to the metal profile
100.
[0084] Advantageously, for a door, two or preferably three hinge assemblies 50 can be provided,
placed at three different heights to rotatably support the door in a sufficiently
distributed manner.
[0085] Finally, forming the object of the present invention is a method for fixing a hinge
10, in particular of concealable/retractable type, on profiles 100 of metal doors/windows,
which will be described hereinbelow by employing, for the sake of description simplicity,
the same reference numbers used above with reference to the retainer 1 and to the
assembly 50.
[0086] The method, object of the invention, employs at least one retainer 1 in accordance
with the above description and operates according to the steps described hereinbelow.
[0087] Initially, a step is provided for notching a metal profile 100 of a movable wing
or of a fixed frame in order to make a shaped opening 101.
[0088] Then, a step takes place for fixing a shaped plate 2 within the metal profile 100
of the door/window at the shaped opening 101, with the bottom wall 3 of the shaped
plate 2 which, through such fixing, comes to be situated embedded within the metal
profile 100 facing the same shaped opening 101.
[0089] The fixing step and the notching step can also be reversed in order of execution.
[0090] At this point, there is a step for adjusting the screwing of the adjustment bush
84 on the anchoring body 8, fixed to the bottom wall 3 of the shaped plate 2, in order
to arrange the abutment end 80 of each adjustment group at a depth such to then allow
the fixing flanges 15 of the hinge body 11, 12 - once the latter have been set on
the abutment ends 80 of the adjustment bushes 84 - to have the visible side arranged
perfectly coplanar with the outer surface 100A of the metal profile 100.
[0091] The visible side of the fixing flanges 15 of the hinge body 11, 12 is advantageously
obtained with a covering plate 40 having the object of concealing the screws and having
a thickness indicated in figure 13 with S'.
[0092] More in detail, this coplanarity is attained by means of the aforesaid adjustment
step by varying the screwing of the adjustment bush 84 up to placing the abutment
end 80 thereof at a depth H with respect to the outer surface 100A of the metal profile
100 equal to the thickness S of the fixing flanges 15 of the hinge body 11, 12 and
possibly added with the thickness S' of the covering plate 40 if present.
[0093] Then, the hinge body 11, 12 is inserted through the shaped opening 101 of the metal
profile 100, in the containment tank of the shaped plate 2, with the fixing flanges
15 which are laid on the abutment ends 80 of the adjustment bushes 84 and with the
visible side of the hinge body 11, 12 which is aligned with the outer surface 100A
of the metal profile 100 of the door/window, due to the preceding adjustment step
with the above-described screw/nut screw engagement between the adjustment bushes
84 and the anchoring bodies 8.
[0094] Finally, there is the fixing of the hinge body 11, 12 to the retainer 1 by means
of the screwing of at least two corresponding retaining screws 9 in threaded holes
81 made in the adjustment bushes 84 or in the anchoring bodies 8, passing through
the holes 150 of the fixing flanges 15 of the hinge body 11, 12.
[0095] In accordance with the retainer embodiment illustrated in figures 1-3, the method
in particular provides that the adjustment occurs by varying the screwing of the second
threads 86 of the adjustment bushes 84 on the first threads 83 of the anchoring bodies
8 and the fixing of the hinge body 11, 12 to the retainer 1 occurs by means of the
screwing of retaining screws 9 which cross through the through holes 150, 85 of the
flanges 15 of the hinge body 11, 12 and of the adjustment bushes 84 up to being engaged
in the threaded holes 81 of the anchoring bodies 8.
[0096] The finding thus conceived therefore attains the pre-established objects.
