Abstract
A hinge for a swing closing element includes a hinge body and a third male or female connection element defining an axis that are coupled to each other to rotate with respect to each other between an open and a closed position. The hinge body includes a curvilinear guide slot defining an angular trajectory that lays on a plane substantially perpendicular to the defined axis. The third male or female connection element is engaged in the curvilinear guide slot so that upon the mutual rotation of the third male or female connection element and of the hinge body, the defined axis translates along the angular trajectory.
Claims13
A system for closing and/or controlling a swing closing element mutually connected with a stationary support structure, the swing closing element being configured to be connected to the stationary support structure to rotate around a rotation axis, the system comprising:
- a first and a second female or male connection element spaced from each other and respectively defining a first and a second axis parallel to each other, the second axis defining the rotation axis;
- a hinge comprising:
- a hinge body configured to be be fixed to the stationary support structure, and
- a third male or female connection element defining a third axis and configured to be engaged with the first female or male connection element so that the first and the third axis coincide,
- wherein the hinge body internally comprises a slider interacting with the third male or female connection element to slide along a fourth axis perpendicular to the third axis, and
- a fourth male or female connection element defining a fifth axis parallel to the third axis, the fourth male or female connection element being configured to be engaged with the second female or male connection element so that the second and the fifth axis can coincide,
- wherein the third male or female connection element can be operatively connected with the fourth male or female connection element, the fourth male or female connection element being monolithic with the stationary support structure or configured to be fixed and integrally joined with the stationary support structure,
- wherein the hinge body comprises a curvilinear guide slot defining an angular trajectory lying on a plane perpendicular to the third axis, the third male or female connection element being slidably engaged in the curvilinear guide slot so that upon a rotation of the swing closing element around the second axis, the third axis moves along the angular trajectory rotating around the fifth axis, and
- wherein the third and the fourth male or female connection element are removably engageable with the first and second female or male connection element, respectively;
- and
- a bracket for fastening to the swing closing element, the bracket comprising the first and the second female or male connection element.
A system for closing and/or controlling a swing closing element mutually connected with a stationary support structure, the swing closing element being configured to be connected to the stationary support structure to rotate around a rotation axis, the system comprising:
- a first and a second female or male connection element spaced from each other and respectively defining a first and a second axis parallel to each other, the second axis defining the rotation axis;
- a hinge comprising:
- a hinge body configured to be be fixed to the stationary support structure, and
- a third male or female connection element defining a third axis and configured to be engaged with the first female or male connection element so that the first and the third axis coincide,
- wherein the hinge body internally comprises a slider interacting with the third male or female connection element to slide along a fourth axis perpendicular to the third axis, and
- a fourth male or female connection element defining a fifth axis parallel to the third axis, the fourth male or female connection element being configured to be engaged with the second female or male connection element so that the second and the fifth axis can coincide,
- wherein the third male or female connection element can be operatively connected with the fourth male or female connection element, the fourth male or female connection element being monolithic with the stationary support structure or configured to be fixed and integrally joined with the stationary support structure,
- wherein the hinge body comprises a curvilinear guide slot defining an angular trajectory lying on a plane perpendicular to the third axis, the third male or female connection element being slidably engaged in the curvilinear guide slot so that upon a rotation of the swing closing element around the second axis, the third axis moves along the angular trajectory rotating around the fifth axis, and
- wherein the third and the fourth male or female connection element are removably engageable with the first and second female or male connection element, respectively;
- and
- the swing closing element, the swing closing element comprising the first and the second female or male connection element.
