Abstract
Disclosed in the present application are a door leaf, and a door set comprising the door leaf. The door leaf having a first leaf portion and a second leaf portion. The first and second leaf portions pivotally connected to one another about a pivot axis that extends through one of the first leaf portion and the second leaf portion. The door leaf further comprising a lock configured, when in a locked position, to project across an interface between the two portions to thereby lock the first and second leaf portions so as to be substantially coplanar. The pivot axis is substantially parallel to and spaced from the interface.

A door leaf, the door leaf split into a first leaf and a second leaf along an interface;
- the first leaf connected to the second leaf pivotally about a pivot axis that extends through one of the first leaf and the second leaf;
- and
- the door leaf further comprising a lock configured, when in a locked position, to project across the interface to thereby lock the first leaf and the second leaf into a substantially coplanar arrangement,
- wherein the pivot axis is substantially parallel to and spaced from the interface, wherein the pivot axis and the interface are each positioned closer to a first edge of the door leaf than to a second opposite edge of the door leaf,
- wherein the first leaf and the second leaf are arranged side-by-side, and
- wherein the entire interface defines a straight line.
A door set comprising a door frame and a door leaf, the door leaf comprising:
- a first leaf;
- a second leaf,
- wherein the first leaf is connected to the second leaf pivotally about a pivot axis that extends through one of the first leaf and the second leaf;
- a lock configured, when in a locked position, to project across an interface between the first leaf and the second leaf to thereby lock the first leaf and the second leaf in a substantially coplanar arrangement,
- wherein the pivot axis is substantially parallel to and spaced from the interface, wherein the pivot axis and the interface are each positioned closer to a first edge of the door leaf than to a second opposite edge of the door leaf,
- wherein the entire interface defines a straight line;
- and
- a hinge along the first edge of the door leaf and connected to the first leaf,
- wherein the hinge is connected to the door frame.
