Hinge and dispensing device

A device (10) for holding a door (14) of a dispensing device (12), wherein the device (10) is substantially bar-shaped or tubular for fastening to the door (14) of the dispensing device (12), wherein the device (10) has at least one main body (20) and, arranged on the main body (20), an insertion rail (22) for the door (14), wherein the door (14) is inserted in the assembled state in the insertion rail (22) and held in the insertion rail (22), wherein at least one damping device (24) and at least one panic hinge device (26) are provided in the main body (20), wherein the device (10) comprises:

• a first pivoting range having a first swiveling resistance and a second pivoting range having a second swiveling resistance, wherein the first swiveling resistance is lower than the second swiveling resistance, wherein the first swiveling resistance is determined by the damping device (24), wherein the second swiveling resistance is determined by the panic hinge device (26), and that, in the second pivoting range, only a damped or inhibited swiveling is made possible by the second swiveling resistance, wherein the second pivoting range has at least a first angular range and at least one second angular range adjoining the first angular range, wherein, at an initiation of a panic function according to which it is possible to open the already opened door (14) even more under increased effort, an opening force to be applied to the door (14) for opening the same even more is increased in the first angular range, and in the second angular range, the door (14) can be opened in a dampened manner with a lower opening force than in the first angular range.
