Device for limiting the set-up angle between two planar components

An assembly including a picture frame, having a planar picture cover and a planar supporting base mounted on respective first and second plates which are connected by a first hinge, and first means for limiting a set-up angle between the picture cover and the supporting base, the first means comprising:

• a connecting web connected at a first end with a first half of a second hinge, a second half of the second hinge being fastenable to the first plate mounting the picture cover, the connecting web at a second end thereof being a T-shaped member;
• and
• a cutout provided in the second plate through which the T-shaped member engages;
• wherein a first width of the cutout in a region farthest from the first hinge is greater than the width of a transverse portion of the T-shaped member, a stop being provided at a transition between the first width and a second narrower width of the cutout;
• wherein the second plate is a separate component from the first hinge and can be fastened to the supporting base separate from the assembly;
• wherein the second plate is provided with fastening means for direct fastening of the second plate to the supporting base, the fastening means being in the form of claws;
• and
• wherein the connecting web and the first plate are provided with protrusions which, when the assembly is folded together, rest against respective rear portions of the claws.

A device for limiting the set-up angle between first and second planar components, the device comprising:

• first and second plates connected by a first hinge, for mounting respective first and second planar components thereon;
• a connecting web connected at a first end to the first plate by a second hinge, the connecting web being configured at a second end as a T-shaped member for engaging a T-shaped cutout provided in the second plate, the width of the cutout in a region farthest from the first hinge being greater than the width of a transverse portion of the T-shaped member, a stop being provided at a transition from a narrow to a broad region of the cutout;
• wherein at least one of the first and second plates is provided with beads for plug-in detent connection with a respective one of the first and second planar components, for mounting a respective one of the first and second planar components thereto;
• and
• wherein at least one of the connecting web, the second plate, and the first plate, is provided with at least one protrusion which, when the device is folded together, lies against a rear portion of at least one of the beads.
