Abstract

Side adjustment device has axle pin (114) seated in bearing eye (112) which has an adjustment pin (116) to adjuet horizontally ie at sides which with its outer thread grips into an inner thread and is seated in at least one bushing in bearing eye. The bushing consists of a first part bushing (120) and second part bushing (122) which move relative to one another by adjusting ie turning the adjustment pin. They thereby come into contact with the bearing eye in such a way that the axle pin can carry out an adjusting movement without tilting and keeping the alignment of its lengthwise axis.

Description

The invention relates to a side adjustment for a door or window hinge, with a recorded in a bearing eye axis pin, which has a horizontal or lateral adjustment, transverse to the longitudinal axis of the axle pin with its external thread engaging in an internal adjustment pin and in at least one socket in Bearing eye is received, wherein the bushing consists of a first part of the socket and a second part bushing, which perform by adjusting or rotating the adjusting a relative movement to each other and thereby contact the bearing eye such that the Achsstift only a tilting and the alignment of its longitudinal axis maintaining horizontal or Can perform lateral adjustment movement.

Such Seitenverstelleinrichtungen are known. So is out of the WO 98/41720 a side adjusting known, in which the axle pin is received rotationally fixed in a socket. At the outer edge of this bush, a web is formed, which engages in a groove arranged in the inner surface of the bearing eye. If now the adjusting pin is rotated in this Seitenverstelleinrichtung, so the pivot pin pivots together with the socket depending on the direction of rotation of the adjusting pin to the right or left, if viewed from above this arrangement. Furthermore, the adjusting pin also does not retain the position in space, but changes its orientation with the pivoting of the axle pin. Therefore is to actuate the adjustment pin, the bearing eye provided with a slot to access any position of the adjustment pin to this.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a side adjustment of the type mentioned above, which always ensures a reliable Verkippsicherung the axle pin with technically simple means.

This object is achieved with a side adjustment of the type mentioned input according to the invention that the first part of the socket and the second sub-jack are arranged one above the other in the installed state in the longitudinal direction of the axle pin, touching each other in the region of the adjusting pin at a respective first end, even during an actuating movement of the Setting pin, and seen at the respective second end in the longitudinal direction of the axle pin are each connected to a pivoting movement enabling pin with the axle pin.

The essence of the invention is that due to the relative movement of the two sub-jacks against each other always secure guidance in the horizontal direction of the axle pin is ensured, as always these sub-jacks can be performed by it. It is particularly advantageous that the first part of the socket and the second part of the socket in the installed state are arranged one above the other in the longitudinal direction of the axle pin, touching each other in the region of the adjusting pin at a respective first end, even during an adjusting movement of the adjusting pin, and seen at the respective second end in the longitudinal direction of the axle pin are each connected to a pivoting movement enabling pin with the axle pin.

The two sub-sockets are pivoted by operating the adjusting pin about their respective pivot axes, which are formed by the pins, such that the contacting surfaces, which lie between the two pins, at each adjustment position firmly.

It is advantageous for a constant support of the sub-bushings, when each sub-bushing is formed in cross-section square, the respective second ends have slot-like openings that allow pivoting of the sub-jack on the axle pin, the size of the quadrangular cross-section increases facing away from the respective pin, to a region which contacts the inner surface of the bearing eye, and then decreases in the direction of the respective first end.

Due to the laterally almost diamond-shaped shape of each partial bush, it is possible that the area contacting the inner surface of the bearing eye also forms a pivot line. Of course, it is advantageous if these contact surfaces have a corresponding rounding, in order then to be able to provide a contact line with the bearing eye at each pivoting state. But this is not absolutely necessary.

For even better support, it is advantageous if the arranged transversely in the contact areas with the bearing eye areas of the respective first ends touch each other.

Of course, the diamond-shaped angles may be in the range of 0 ° to 90 °. However, it is particularly advantageous if the angles of the increase and decrease in the cross-sectional sizes are each about 30 °.

The mutually contacting first ends of the sub-sockets are of course part-circular rounded to allow a mutual pivoting movement. Although these contacting ends can ensure safe pivoting by increasing the static friction. However, it is particularly advantageous if the contacting first ends are part-circular and provided with projections and recesses which engage with each other.

If the respective projections and recesses of each partial bushing are each arranged laterally alternately or "on a gap", then it is particularly easy to configure the partial bushings identically. When assembling then only has to be taken to ensure that the matching ends are joined together.

An additional lateral guidance in the pivoting movement is given when the cross section of the bearing eye is rectangular.

In order for the bearing eye to remain at the position of the rotating band provided for this purpose during the setting process, it is advantageous if the bearing eye has access for actuating the adjusting pin.

There is a variety of material for making this Seitenverstelleinrichtung conceivable. However, metal and / or plastic have proven to be particularly advantageous.

The WO 03/095 777 A1 also shows a door hinge, in which in a bearing eye (longitudinal recess 104) and a Bush (carriage assembly 33, cage 43) in the bearing eye (longitudinal recess 104) recorded axle pin (hinge pin 109) is laterally adjustable. The socket (slide assembly 33, cage 43) also consists of two sub-sockets (carriage assembly 33, cage 43), which secure a tilt-free lateral adjustment. However, the adjustment is not done there by a setting pin. The adjuster confirming adjustment part plays there only an insignificant role.

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of several embodiments and from the drawings, to which reference is made.

In the Fig. 1-6 an embodiment of a Seitenverstelleinrichtung 110 is shown for a door or window hinge. This lateral adjustment device 110 consists of a bearing eye 112, which receives an axle pin 114. This Axle pin 114 receives transversely to its longitudinal axis on an externally threaded adjusting pin 116. Of course, the axle pin 114 has an internal thread. Furthermore, the axle pin 114 is received in a socket 118. In the first exemplary embodiment, this bushing 118 consists of first and second partial bushings 120 and 122 which, by adjusting or turning the adjusting pin 116 in this case, perform a relative movement relative to one another such that the first and second partial bushings 120 and 122 contact one another in each case Pivoting transverse to the longitudinal axis of the axle pin 114 pivot axis.

In this embodiment, the first and second sub-sockets 120 and 122 are arranged one above the other as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the axle pin 114. In the process, these first and second partial bushes touch one another at a respective first end 120a or 122a in the region of the setting pin 116. The respective second ends 120b and 122b are seen in the longitudinal direction of the axle pin 114 with the axle pin 114 in each case with a first and second pin 124 and 126 connected.

The respective cross section of each partial bushing 120, 122 is quadrangular. In this case, the respective second ends 120b and 122b on slot-like openings, which allow pivoting of the sub-jack 120 and 122 on the axle pin 114.

Starting from these second ends 120b and 122b, the size of the quadrangular cross section increases until the corresponding outer wall of the partial bushes 120 and 122 comes into contact with the inner wall of the bearing eye 112. Subsequently, the size of the rectangular cross section decreases again to a size at the respective first end 120a or 122a, whose sizes correspond approximately to the respective size of the second ends 120b and 122b.

As can be seen from the figures, the respective first ends 120a and 122a only touch areas arranged transversely to the contact areas with the bearing eye 112. It is therefore called on two opposite sides of the rectangular cross-section.

The respective acceptance and acceptance angles are in the embodiment shown in each case 30 °. But there are also other angular sizes conceivable as long as a sufficient pivoting of the two sub-sockets 120 and 122 is possible.

In order for a kind of unrolling of the respective contacting first ends 120a or 122a to be possible, these are designed to be part-circular. For better fixation of the individual positions of the partial bushes 120 and 122, the respective first ends 120a and 122a are provided with projections 128 and recesses 130, which are arranged at each partial bushing 120 and 122, respectively, such that when viewed from the side, the respective projections 128 and recesses 130 are arranged so to speak "gap". As a result, identical parts can be used for the respective sub-sockets 120 and 122, respectively, which need only be assembled in a corresponding orientation in order to enable rolling-off pivoting.

Thus, a lateral guidance of the sub-sockets 120 and 122 can be made, the cross-section of the bearing eye 112 is rectangular, with the partial sockets 120 and 122 bear as full as possible on the respective longer sides of this rectangle and the contact surfaces, which are preferably formed rounded at the so-called short sides of the rectangle are in contact with the bearing eye 112.

Based on Figure 5 It is best to see how in an adjustment of the adjusting pin 116, the two sub-sockets 120 and 122 are pivoted to move engaging the first ends 120a and 122a and thereby move the shaft pin 114 in the horizontal direction back and forth.

The described embodiment has an access 132 which serves in the bearing eyes 112 for actuating the adjusting pin 116.

As a material, metal and / or plastic has been found to be particularly advantageous.
