Abstract

An adjustable hinge for doors or windows is described. The adjustable hinge has hinge elements, a tubular cover, a plug and a wall. The hinge elements connect to a fixed frame of a door or a window and mobile frame of the door or the window. The hinge elements are pivotally connected through a pin that is engaged in a housing formed inside the hinge elements. The tubular cover covers the hinge elements which are associated with a locking means. The plug has a channel and is used to engage the housing of the hinge elements with the locking means. The adjustable hinge can also be transversally adjustable.

Claims19

Dependent claims

An adjustable hinge for doors or windows, comprising:

two hinge elements, wherein a first hinge element is adapted to be connected to a fixed frame of a door or a window and a second hinge element is adapted to be connected to a mobile frame of the door or the window, said first and second hinge elements being coaxially consecutive along an axis of rotation between said mobile frame and said fixed frame and pivotally connected through a pin that is engaged in correspondent housings formed inside said first and second hinge elements,
the pin comprising two end branches adapted to be engaged respectively within said correspondent housings, of which a first branch is configured to pivot around said axis of rotation within a housing of the first or of the second hinge element, and a second branch is locked within the other housing of the second or of the first hinge element by locking means, wherein said two end branches of said pin are joined by an intermediate deviation portion, so as to result mutually off-centered and parallel, said locking means being releasable to permit an adjustment rotation of said first or of said second end branch with respect to a corresponding hinge element of the first or the second hinge element, whereby a relative displacement of said hinge elements is obtained in response to said adjustment rotation, wherein said intermediate portion is a linear portion that is inclined with respect to said end branches, the hinge further comprising:
a tubular cover for covering the hinge element to which said locking means are associated,
a plug comprising a channel for an integral engagement with an inclined intermediate portion, said plug further comprising reference means adapted to engage in a coaxial and pivotal manner within said housing of said first or second hinge element to which said locking means are associated, and
a wall developing circularly along a C-shaped path, centered on said axis of rotation and symmetrical with respect to said pin, on which said tubular cover radially abuts, so that an adaptive rotation of said tubular cover around said axis of rotation occurs as a reaction of the adjustment rotation of said first or second end branch.
