1. | 1: A mechanically adjustable hinge for door and window blinds that is made of a main part (1), bearing à special extrusion (9) with a hole (10). The main part (1) fits on the casing of the door or window folding shutters and is mounted on the inside of the blind framing with the help of bolts. It also bears a cylindric reception (3) with a threaded opening or a builtin nut, as well as an adjustable steel threaded arm (4) bearing an axle (7) at its tip. Two holes (14) are made on the inside surface of the main part which is attached to the blindshutter with screws (11) that pass through the openings (19) of the hingesupport (18) and housed in the blindend threaded holes (14) of the main part (13). At the centre of the main part (13) there is also a steel threaded rod (15) ending in a cylinder (16) and housing a bushing (8). Inside the bushing is inserted the axle (7) of a steel threaded shaft (4). 2: A main body (27), according to claim 1 is characterised of its extruding cylindric part (28) hosting an opening (29) as well as a wedge (34), running along its interior wall. The moving arm (30) bears a threaded housing (31) within which there is an adjusting bolt (32) that as it is screws or unscrews it pushes and pulls the arm (30) while blocking its rotation. |
polyamide Nylon 6 or Nylon 6.6 bushing is housed inside the opening (17) The main part (13) is deployed and attached to the main body (1) in such a way that the axle (7) would fit in the bushing (8). A different axle adjustment application is described in the figure (4) where there is a side-view of the main part (20) attached to the door or window casing. The main part (20) bears at its lenght-centre a special extrusion (9) that fit in the frame lining of the door or the window casing. The main part extrusion (9) bears one or more holes (10) hosting a bolt (11) that attaches the main body (20) on the inside of the casing thus rendering its removal from the casing impossible if tried from the outside. The main part (20) also bears an extruding part (21) with a double diameter hole (22) and (23), configured in such a way that hole (22) is smaller than hole (23). Inside the hole (23) is housed an also double diameter threaded bolt (24), which on its one end is screwed in the hole (22) and on its other tip it ends in a headed-like tip (25) where axle (26) is attached. The threaded bolt (24) can be adjusted in such a way that its threads would not visible from the outside of the framing. The main part (27) also bears an extruding cylindric part (28) hosting an opening (29). Inside the opening (29) is housed an arm (30) that bears a threaded housing (31). An adjusting bolt (32) hosted in the threaded housing (31) bears a"cut"for a lock-pin (33) that can secure the stabilising bolt (32) always in a stable position, with relation to the main body (27). At the lower part of the opening (29) theres a wedge (34) running along the full lenght of the its inside wall, that fits in a sliding track of the arm (30). As a result, during rotation of the adjusting bolt (32), the arm (30) is pushed or pulled, depending on the direction of the rotation of the adjusting bolt (32). At the same time the wedge (34) and the sliding track (35) of the arm (30) block its unwanted rotation, thus the adjustment of the opening frame with relation to its fixed framing is rendered easier and precise. The arm (30) bears at its end a joint (36) with a cavity hosting a bushing (37) where the axle (26) is finally housed into. All of the system's fundamental parts can be assembled according to their visual plans and descriptions aptly provided above. Other possiblities about plan modifications of the main invention are not examined in this specific presentation.
Different manufacturing procedures can be accommodated either by modifying the shape of the parts or by changing its function mechanisms, and all that without compromising the basic principles and the advantages of the present invention.
Moreover, the adjustable mechanical hinge can also be manufactured in any desired
shape, size or any kind of material (wood, synthetic, etc. ) to be used for doors and windows and door and window shutters respectively. For the mass production of the mechanical hinge is required the building of cast iron molds as well as the building of wax molding. The above manufacturing procedures are recommended especially for the production of the steel threaded arms (4) so they would remain aligned with respect to the door and window shutters thus eliminating sagging.
