Abstract
A hinge system for pivotably coupling at least one layered composite panel to a counterpart. The hinge system comprising a hinge element having a first hinge leaf and a second hinge leaf and a base element which is configured to be mechanically coupled to the first hinge leaf of the hinge element by means of a first coupling device. The base element is configured to be arranged at least predominantly within a layer structure of the layered composite panel and the base element is configured to be mechanically coupled to the layered composite panel by means of a first fastening device and/or a second fastening device.
Claims15
A hinge system for pivotably coupling at least one layered composite panel to a counterpart, comprising:
- a hinge element having a first hinge leaf and a second hinge leaf;
- and
- a base element which is configured to be mechanically coupled to the first hinge leaf of the hinge element by means of a first coupling device;
- and
- wherein the base element is configured to be arranged at least predominantly within a layer structure of the layered composite panel;
- and
- wherein the base element is configured to be mechanically coupled to the layered composite panel by means of a first fastening device and/or a second fastening device.
A base element for a layered composite panel for coupling to a hinge element, comprising:
- a first coupling device that is configured to mechanically couple the base element to a first hinge leaf of the hinge element;
- wherein the base element is configured to be arranged at least predominantly within a layer structure of the layered composite panel;
- and
- wherein the base element is configured to be mechanically coupled to the layered composite panel by means of a first fastening device and/or a second fastening device;
- and
- wherein the base element has a first adjusting element;
- and
- wherein the first adjusting element is configured to cooperate with a second adjusting element of the first hinge leaf in order to determine a relative position of the first hinge leaf with respect to the base element.
