Hinge assembly with common actuation

A hinge assembly for a door leaf positioned within a door frame, the hinge assembly comprising:

• at least two hinged closures configured to be positioned at each side of the door leaf, each hinged closure having a first hinge element configured to be connected to the door leaf and a second hinge element configured to be connected to the door frame, each hinged closure further including a latch configured to cooperate with the first and second hinge elements;
• and
• an actuating device configured to be located at each side of the door leaf and configured to be operatively connected to the latch of each hinged closure at the associated side of the door leaf, wherein the actuating device is configured to move the associated latch between a latching position, securing the respective hinged closure, and an unlatched position, releasing the respective hinged closure;
• wherein the assembly is configured such that, in use, when one of the actuating devices is actuated, the door leaf is configured for pivoting with respect to the door frame;
• the hinge assembly further including a hinge bar which is configured to be positioned on the door leaf and has multiple mounting points configured to be coupled to at least one of the hinged closures,
• wherein the hinge assembly is configured such that operation of the actuating device causes the latch to move in direction perpendicular relative to an axis about which the door leaf is pivotable.
