  • Patent number: 4470170
    Abstract: A hinge arrangement for various types of movable objects, such as doors, windows, flap members and so forth. In the case of thick-wall doors having shutters or ornamental strips mounted thereat, equally in the case of double doors, windows or flap members or similar type structures, especially in the construction and furniture industry, there exists the difficult problem of adjusting the pivoting movement of the door or other structure. Usually, there only can be attained opening angles of the door or other movable structure up to a range of about 180.degree.. A hinge arrangement is disclosed which affords a relatively wide pivoting of the door or other structure during opening thereof, the pivoting movement being adjustable as to the degree or width of opening of the door or other structure. The hinge arrangement also allows opening angles of the door or other structure of 270.degree. and more.
