Abstract
A hinge for connecting a first folding element to a second folding element. The hinge includes a fixing element which comprises a first fixing face by means of which the fixing element is contactingly fixable to the second folding element; a first arm connected to the fixing element so as to be pivotable around a first pivot axis between a first position and a second position; a second arm having a fixing device by which the second arm can be fixed to the second folding element, and is connected to the first arm so as to be pivotable around a second pivot axis extending parallel to the first pivot axis between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first arm encloses a smallest angle relative to the fixing face and, in the second position, encloses a greatest angle relative to the fixing face.
Claims11
A hinge for a folding flap including a first folding element and a second folding element which, in a closed position, are arranged on a common vertical plane, for connecting the first folding element with the second folding element, comprising:
- a fixing element which comprises a first fixing face by means of which the fixing element is contactingly fixed to the second folding element;
- a first arm
- which is connected to the fixing element at a first end of the first arm so as to be pivotable around a first pivot axis relative to the fixing element between a first position of rotation about the first pivot axis and a second position of rotation about the first pivot axis;
- a second arm
- which comprises a fixing means by means of which the second arm is fixed to the first folding element, and
- which is connected to the first arm so as to be pivotable around a second pivot axis relative to the first arm at a second end of the first arm extending parallel to the first pivot axis between a first position of rotation about the second pivot axis and a second position of rotation about the second pivot axis,
- wherein,
- the first arm, in the first position of rotation about the first pivot axis, which is assumed in the closed position and in an open position for closing and opening of a foldable cover, encloses a first angle relative to the fixing face,
- the first arm in the second position of rotation about the first pivot axis, which is assumed in an intermediate position for moving the foldable cover between the closed position and the open position, encloses a second angle relative to the fixing face, which is greater than the first angle,
- in the first position of rotation about the second pivot axis of the second arm, which is assumed in the closed position, the first arm and the second arm encloses a third angle relative to one another, and
- in the second position of rotation about the second pivot axis of the second arm, which is assumed in the open position, the first arm and the second arm encloses a fourth angle relative to one another, which is greater than the third angle.
