Abstract
The invention relates to an enclosure that consists of segments that can be rotated toward one another around joints, with the adjacent edges of the segments being formed in a concave or convex manner, in order to form a narrow gap between them during rotation around an articulating axis. The joints consist of two articulating arms, firmly attached to adjacent segments, that are attached to one another in such a way as to be rotatable toward one another around the articulating axis. According to the invention, one of the adjacent segments has a recess running parallel to the edge, in which the articulating axis is positioned at least partially.

Enclosure consisting of segments that can be rotated toward one another around joints, specifically a sectional door, with the adjacent edges of the segments being formed essentially in a concave or convex manner, in order to form a narrow gap between them during rotation around an articulating axis, with the articulating axis being positioned essentially at the midpoint of the curve of the edges, and with each of the joints consisting of two articulating arms, firmly attached to adjacent segments, that are attached to one another in such a way as to be rotatable toward one another around the articulating axis,
- characterized in that
- one of the adjacent segments has a recess running parallel to the edge, in which the articulating axis is positioned at least partially.
