  • Publication number: 20230151658
    Abstract: A hinge has first and second leaf assemblies pivoted on each other and a link assembly interconnecting the first and second leaf assemblies. At least one of the first and second leaf assemblies has upper and lower mounts forming a cavity in which a respective end of the link assembly is pivoted, and at least one of the mounts of the one leaf assembly is formed with a recess opening into the cavity. According to the invention a body of foaming fire-protection material is provided in the recess so that when heated the body expands and fills the cavity with fire-protective foam.

  • Publication number: 20230151657
    Abstract: A door hinge has first and second leaf assemblies. The first assembly is formed with a longitudinal guide groove. First and second links are connected to each other for relative pivoting about a vertical axis. The first link is pivoted in a longitudinally displaceable slide in the groove. This slide has a length longitudinally of the guide groove and a width transversely of the guide groove. The ratio of the length to the width of the slide is at least 2:1.

  • Publication number: 20230151655
    Abstract: A door hinge has a first leaf assembly, a second leaf assembly and a link assembly for pivoting of the first leaf assembly on the second leaf assembly between an open position and a closed position. This link assembly in turn has a first hinge link and a second hinge link pivoted about a connecting axis on the first link. The first hinge link is formed with a contact face that in the open position flatly engages a contact face of the second hinge link. This the first contact face also is formed with a projection that in the open position engages complementarily in a recess formed in the second hinge link.

  • Publication number: 20230151659
    Abstract: A door hinge has a first leaf assembly, a second leaf assembly, and a link assembly connected to the leaf assemblies for pivoting of the second assembly on the first assembly. An adjuster in the first leaf assembly can displace the link assembly relative to the first leaf assembly and thereby adjust a position of the door in the frame. The adjuster has an adjusting element projecting from the first leaf assembly in the closed position. The second leaf assembly is formed with a recess in which the projecting adjuster engages in the closed position.

  • Publication number: 20140143981
    Abstract: A door hinge that has a base attachable to a door frame and having a bushing centered on an axis and an anchor formation projecting radially outward from the bushing for attachment of the bushing to a door frame and a leaf having two hinge knuckles axially flanking the axis and an L-section web connecting the knuckles and itself having a flange attachable to an edge of a door panel. A spring-loaded closer urges the leaf into a closed position. The radial spacing between an outer surface of the bushing and the inner contact edge of the web is so small that a finger cannot engage therein, and, in the closed position with the inner contact edge engaging the anchor formation. The attachment flange is spaced from the anchor formation by a safety spacing so large that a finger cannot be pinched between the flange and the anchor formation.

  • Patent number: 8683651
    Abstract: A door hinge includes two hinge parts that are connected to each other in articulating fashion. One of the hinge parts has a base plate for attachment to a door frame or door leaf and at least one insert that is adjustable in two directions (x, y, z) relative to the base plate. An intermediate piece is situated between the insert and the base plate that is movable relative to the base plate along a first linear guide in a first direction (x). The insert is movable relative to the intermediate piece along a second linear guide in a second direction (z). A fixing means for providing a clamping locking action extends through a front section of the base plate, the intermediate piece and the insert.

  • Patent number: 8621717
    Abstract: A door hinge is provided for a hidden placement between a door leaf and door frame. The door hinge has two recess elements that are insertable into recesses in the door frame and in the narrow side of the door leaf and two hinge brackets that are connected in articulating fashion. Each of the recess elements also has two guide elements that accommodate the ends of the hinge brackets. The guide elements each have a guide section with two sliding guides and two rotary seats. An end of a hinge bracket is secured in only one respective sliding guide and rotary seat, where the other sliding guide and the other rotary seat remain correspondingly unoccupied.

  • Patent number: 8196265
    Abstract: A concealed door hinge has first and second leaf assemblies fittable into respective mortises in an edge of the door and in the door frame. The first leaf assembly has a body, mounting tabs at ends of the body and securable to the door frame or to an edge of the door, and an insert shiftable in the body in a first horizontal direction perpendicular to a face of the assembly. The body is also shiftable relative to the tabs in a second horizontal direction transverse to the horizontal direction and parallel to the face. A swivel mechanism is connected between the second leaf assembly and the insert of the assembly. Adjusters engaged between the insert, the body, and the tabs can relatively secure the insert and body in any of a plurality of positions offset relative to one another in the horizontal directions.
