Abstract
A hinge mountable between a door jamb and an edge of a door panel has a jamb part set in the jamb, and a panel part fixed to the panel. A first link has one end pivoted at a first jamb axis in the jamb part and an opposite end pivoted at a first panel axis in the panel part, and a second link has one end pivoted at a second jamb axis in the jamb part offset from the first jamb axis and an opposite end pivoted at a second panel axis in the panel part. The axes all are substantially parallel and offset horizontally from one another. The two links are not connected directly to one another between their ends. The first and second links are U-shaped in a central section between their ends.

A hinge mountable between a door jamb and an edge of a door panel, the hinge comprising:
- a jamb part set in the jamb;
- a panel part fixed to the panel;
- a first link having one end pivoted at a first jamb axis in the jamb part and an opposite end pivoted at a first panel axis in the panel part;
- and
- a second link having one end pivoted at a second jamb axis in the jamb part offset from the first jamb axis and an opposite end pivoted at a second panel axis in the panel part, the axes all being substantially parallel and offset horizontally from one another such that the hinge can move from a closed position through an opening angle of at least 135° to a maximum open position with, during such opening from the closed position to the open position, the first and second links rotating in a first direction of rotation with respect to the jamb part and the panel part also rotating in the first direction of rotation with respect to the links, the links not being connected directly to one another between their ends, the first and second links being U-shaped in a center section between their ends, so that for the first link, starting from a first connecting line between the first panel axis and the first jamb axis, a greatest distance perpendicular to the first connecting line up to the center section, amounts to at least 0.5 times a distance between the first jamb axis and the first panel axis, and, starting from a second connecting line between the second panel axis and the second jamb axis, for the second link, a greatest distance perpendicular to the second connecting line up to the center section, amounts to at least 0.5 times the distance between the second jamb axis and the second panel axis.
A hinge mountable between a door jamb and an edge of a door panel, the hinge comprising:
- a jamb part set in the jamb;
- a panel part fixed to the panel;
- a first link having one end pivoted at a first jamb axis in the jamb part and an opposite end pivoted at a first panel axis in the panel part;
- and
- a second link having one end pivoted at a second jamb axis in the jamb part offset from the first jamb axis and an opposite end pivoted at a second panel axis in the panel part, the axes all being substantially parallel and offset horizontally from one another such that the hinge can move from a closed position through an opening angle of at least 135° to a maximum open position with, during such opening from the closed position to the open position, the first and second links rotating in a first direction of rotation with respect to the jamb part and the panel part also rotating in the first direction of rotation with respect to the links, the links not being connected directly to one another between their ends, the first and second links being U-shaped in a center section between their ends, so that for the first link, starting from a first connecting line between the first panel axis and the first jamb axis, a greatest distance perpendicular to the first connecting line up to the center section, amounts to at least 0.5 times a distance between the first jamb axis and the first panel axis, and, starting from a second connecting line between the second panel axis and the second jamb axis, for the second link, a greatest distance perpendicular to the second connecting line up to the center section, amounts to at least 0.5 times the distance between the second jamb axis and the second panel axis, the first link abutting against a first stop face of the panel part in the maximum open position.
