  • Patent number: 7271358
    Abstract: A switching hinge comprises a hinge housing (6) at which a hinge flap (4) is swivellably disposed, a switching element (2) coupled with the hinge flap (4) being provided, which switching element (2) triggers a switching operation at a built-in switch (7) in a predetermined position of the hinge flap (4). According to the invention, the built-in switch (7) can be adjusted relative to the switching element (2) for adjusting the switching point. Particularly, a precision adjustment can be carried out so that an adaptation to the respective installation situation becomes possible.

  • Publication number: 20070068778
    Abstract: A switching hinge comprises a hinge housing (6) on which a hinge flap (4) is swivellably disposed about an axis (3). A switching element (2) coupled with the hinge flap (4) is provided on the axis (3), which switching element (2) triggers a switching operation at a built-in switch (7) in a predetermined position of the hinge flap (4). In this case, the switching point of the built-in switch (7) can be adjusted later. For this purpose, an exchangeable connection element (5) for transmitting rotating motions is preferably provided between the switching element (2) and the hinge flap (4), which connection element (5) can be mounted in different angular positions to the hinge flap (4) and/or the switching element (2).
