Lift-and-Lower Hinge for Supporting a Glass Door

A lift-and-lower hinge for supporting a glass door, the lift-and-lower hinge (10) comprising:

• at least one first hinge part (12) with a bearing means (14) arranged thereon, wherein the bearing means (14) comprises a continuous vertical opening (14a) for supporting a pivot axle assembly (16);
• at least one pivot axle assembly (16) with a vertical bearing axis (16a), wherein the pivot axle assembly (16) is configured to rotatably connect the first hinge part (12) to a second hinge part (18),
• wherein the pivot axle assembly (16) comprises, on each end face, a curve profile (17) with at least one curve crest (17.1) and one curve trough (17.2);
• at least one second hinge part (18) having a U-shape with a base (20) and two legs (22, 24), wherein the second hinge part (18) is rotatably connected to the bearing means (14), at least indirectly via the pivot axle assembly (16),
• wherein each leg (22, 24) comprises a respective horizontal leg recess (22a, 24a) configured for supporting a bolt assembly (26), and a respective vertical leg recess (22b, 24b) for supporting the pivot axle assembly (16), wherein the pivot axle assembly (16), the vertical bearing axis (16a), and the two vertical leg recesses (22b, 24b) are coaxial with one another;
• at least one bolt assembly (26) configured to be selectively insertable into one of the two horizontal leg recesses (22a, 24a) so as to interact, when inserted into one of the two horizontal leg recesses (22a, 24a), with the curve profile (17) of the pivot axle assembly (16) in such a way that a rotation of the second hinge part (18) relative to the first hinge part (12) is accompanied simultaneously by a vertical offset of the second hinge part (18) relative to the first hinge part (12).
