Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/104341
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hinge system for folding doors. The inventive system is intended for doors comprising two leaves which are articulated to one another using hinges and which have a considerable weight. According to the invention, a large groove (2) is provided all along the edge of each leaf (1) that is intended to be articulated to another leaf and a metal section (3) is inserted and fixed therein by means of holes (4), the length of said section equalling that of the edge. Moreover, the metal section (3) is grooved and comprises a constricted opening, such that a head (8) belonging to the corresponding shaft (9) of each hinge can be connected inside said groove (6). The head is connected to the constricted opening (7) of the groove (6) in a tongue-and-groove manner. In this way, the shaft (9) and, consequently, the entire hinge can be connected to the section (3) by means of a slide element, can adopt any position along the length of the section, and can be permanently fixed by pressing the head (8) against the constricted opening of said section using a pair of setscrews (11) which are disposed inside threaded openings in the head (8) and which press against the base of the groove (6).
