  • Patent number: 4584739
    Abstract: For protection against an unauthorized lifting-out of a side wall of commercial vehicles from its chassis as well as for simple and secure handling of the side wall during turning as well as lifting-out or hanging-in, parts which form a hinge are formed so that a first hinge part has two aligning pivot pins, and in a turning angular region of the side wall a first pivot pin is held in an opening of the second hinge part, whereas a second pivot pin does not function in this turning angular region, the first hinge part is axially positively fixed relative to the second hinge part by a collar formed in the region of the pivot pins and extending over a part of the circumference of the pivot pins so as to engage in a recess of the second hinge part, and the side wall in its turned down position under the turning angular region can be displaced laterally axially so that the first pivot pin is completely withdrawn from the opening and the second pivot pin is inserted into a shell and held there, whereby then the sid
