Abstract
The invention relates to a fitting for shower partition parts made of a flat material such as, glass, plastic or similar. The door elements thereof have bores which are arranged in the vicinity of a high edge in order to receive hinge plate parts. The fitting has three main components. A stationary hinge member is provided that is adapted to be fixed in the borehole of a stationary door member, and which is also adapted to receive a shiftable hinge housing with a lower sleeve unit. A hinge leaf member is provided that is adapted to be fixed to a moveable door leaf. The hinge leaf member has an upper sleeve member adapted to interlock with the lower sleeve member to allow the hinge leaf member to run on the stationary hinge member. The hinge leaf member is height adjustable within a limited range.
Claims22
Hinge to be attached to room enclosure devices, in particular shower enclosure units, comprising at least one stationary door element (E) and at least one door leaf (F) adjacent the latter, consisting of flat material such as glass, plastics or the like, and having boreholes (B) close to a vertical edge (H) to receive door hinge parts (18, 38), wherein:
- a) a stationary hinge member (10) comprises an end-stop clamping plate (12) with a support body (14) which has or constitutes a two-dimensionally adjustable bearing (16) for a first clamping disk (18) adapted to be fixed in a borehole (B) of a stationary door element (E), and on which a hinge housing member (20), forming a single unit with a lower sleeve member (22) or being rigidly connected with the latter, is adapted to be placed and shifted within a limited range,
- b) a hinge-member (30) comprises a base (32) with a recess (34) to receive in a form-fitting manner projections (35) of a second clamping disk (38) that is adapted to be fixed in a borehole (B) of the door leaf (F), and additionally comprises an upper sleeve member (42) that forms a single unit with the base (32) or is rigidly connected with the latter,
- c) the hinge-leaf member (30), running on the stationary hinge member (10), is height adjustable within a limited range, with the lower sleeve member (22) and the upper sleeve member (42) interlocking with their parts (23, 43) that face each other.
