Abstract
A hinge strip forms a hinge arrangement comprising a plurality of edge related segments, oriented between two mutually adjacent elements, normally in the form of two flat panels, the strip having at least one surface coated with a respective adhesive layer for adhesion to at least one of an edge region and an edge surface of a respective element, the hinge strip being divided along its edge surface into segments by exposing a number of mutually spaced segments separating weakenings, which are arranged to extend transversely to a longitudinally extending center line or a hinge rotation line, each segment having a nonadhesive surface region which is positioned between two adjacent adhesive surface regions, a non-adhesive surface region of adjacent edge segments being located on alternating sides of a hinge line.

A hinge strip for forming a hinge arrangement having a plurality of edge related segments oriented between two mutually adjacent elements, normally in the form of two flat panels, the hinge strip comprising a single layer of flexible material having at least one surface coated with a respective adhesive layer for adhesion to at least one of an edge region and an edge surface of a respective element, the hinge strip being divided longitudinally into segments by a plurality of spaced apart segment-separating weakenings which extend transversely to a longitudinally extending hinge rotation line, each segment having a non-adhesive surface region positioned between two transversely adjacent adhesive surface regions adapted to be adhered to a respective side region of one element and an edge region of the other element, wherein a non-adhesive surface region of a first segment being located on one side of and adjacent to the hinge rotation line, and a first surface region of an adjacent segment is located on the other side of and adjacent to said hinge rotation line.
