Hinge

Abstract

A hinge for connecting a first folding element (30) to a second folding element (30) of a folding flap or folding door. The hinge includes a fixing element (1, 101, 201) having a first fixing face (7, 107, 207) by means of which it can be contactingly fixed to the first folding element (30); a first arm (2, 102, 202) connected to the fixing element (1, 101, 201) so as to be pivotable around a first pivot axis (3, 103, 203) between a first position and a second position; a second arm (4, 104, 204) having a fixing device (27, 127, 227) by which the second arm (4, 104, 204) can be fixed to the second folding element (31), and is connected to the first arm (2, 102, 202) so as to be pivotable around a second pivot axis (5, 105, 205) extending parallel to the first pivot axis (3, 103, 203) between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first arm (2, 102, 202) encloses a smallest angle relative to the fixing face (7, 107, 207) and, in the second position, encloses a greatest angle relative to the fixing face. Further, in the first position, the first arm (2, 102, 202) and the second arm (4, 104, 204) enclose the smallest angle and, in the second position, the greatest angle relative to one another.
