Abstract
A concealed hinge for a turn-tilt window with a fixed frame and leaf includes of a pair of scissors with a first arm and second arm, that are connected by a central hinge and which are hingeably connected by a first end to a mounting slat that is intended to be mounted on the frame, and have a hinge at a second end for coupling to the leaf. The first arm is connected by its first end to the mounting slat with a fixed frame hinge with a peg fastened to the mounting slat and the second arm is connected by its first end to the mounting slat by a shiftable frame hinge with a peg that is shiftably affixed in a guide slot of the mounting slat, whereby in the closed situation of the scissors, the mounting slat serves as a support for the tilting movement of these scissors.
Claims20
A concealed hinge for a turn-tilt window with a fixed frame (2) and a turnable leaf (3), the concealed hinge configured for both a turning movement between an open and a closed position about a vertical axis, and a tilting movement between a tilted position and the closed position about a horizontal axis, the concealed hinge (5) comprising:
- scissors (25) with a first arm (26) and a second arm (27),
- the first and second arms (26, 27) being connected together by a central hinge (28),
- respective first ends (29, 30) of each of the first and second arms being connected by a hinge to a mounting slat (31) that is configured to be mounted horizontally on the fixed frame (2), and
- each of the first and second arms (26, 27), at respective second ends (32, 33), being provided with a hinge (40, 47) that couple to the leaf (3),
- wherein the first arm (26) is connected by the first end (29) to the mounting slat (31) by a fixed frame hinge (34) with a first peg (35) that is fastened to the mounting slat (31) and mounted upright substantially parallel to the vertical axis,
- wherein the second arm (27) is connected by the first end (30) to the mounting slat (31) by a shiftable frame hinge (37) with a second peg (38) that is provided on the first end of the second arm (27) and shiftably affixed in a guide slot (39) of the mounting slat (31), and
- wherein, when the concealed hinge is turned about the vertical axis to the closed position, the scissors (25) are in a collapsed position and remain in the collapsed position during the tilting movement such that the mounting slat (31) operates as a support for the tilting movement of the scissors (25) and the fixed first peg (35) on the mounting slat (31) forms a guide for the tilting movement.
