Abstract

A hinge for use with a picture frame and a set-up base, includes first and second hinge leaves, each hinge leaf having claws, the claws of the first hinge leaf for fastening the first hinge leaf to a picture frame and the claws of the second hinge leaf for fastening the second hinge leaf to a set-up base. A hinge joint is disposed at first ends of the hinge leaves, configured of knuckles through which a hinge wire passes for connecting the first and second hinge leaves to one another. A connecting web is movably articulated to the first hinge leaf at an end edge of the first hinge leaf opposite the hinge joint. When the hinge is in an opened position, the connecting web is arranged at an angle to the first hinge leaf and is supported on the second hinge leaf. When the hinge is in a closed position, the connecting web is pivoted into a position essentially parallel to the first hinge leaf. The hinge ensures a stable limitation of an opening angle of the hinge leaves with respect to one another and thereby ensures a stable limitation of an opening angle of the supporting base with respect to a picture frame.

Description

Technisches Gebiet:Technical field:

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnier für Bilderrahmen mit einem Aufstellfuß, bei dem zwei Scharnierlappen an den aneinanderstoßenden Kanten über ein Scharniergelenk miteinander verbunden sind, das aus von einem Scharnierdraht durchsetzten Rollen gebildet ist, und jeder Krallen für die Befestigung des einen an einer rückseitigen Bilderabdeckung und des anderen an dem Aufstellfuß aufweist.The invention relates to a hinge for picture frames with a stand, in which two hinge tabs are connected to each other at the abutting edges via a hinge joint, which is formed from rollers interspersed with a hinge wire, and each claw for fastening the one to a rear picture cover and the others on the stand.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Scharniere der vorgenannten Art sind bekannt (US-A-28 11 741; DE-U-88 09 422). Bei den bekannten Scharnieren ist die Winkelbegrenzung, die für das Aufstellen des Bilderrahmens mit Hilfe des Stützfußes notwendig ist, durch Anschläge bestimmt, die entweder als axiale Vorsprünge an den Rollen des einen Scharnierlappens und als angepaßte axiale Ausnehmungen in den Rollen des anderen Scharnierlappens ausgebildet sind, oder entlang den Rollen des einen Scharnierlappens über die gesamte Rollenlänge vorgesehen sind, an die der andere Scharnierlappen beim Aufstellen des Bilderrahmens anschlägt. Bei den bekannten Scharnieren besteht die Gefahr, daß sie bei stärkeren Belastungen, wie sie sich bei unsachgemäßem Aufstellen des Bilderrahmens leicht ergeben können, im Bereich der Anschläge beschädigt werden und/oder sich verbiegen.Hinges of the aforementioned type are known (US-A-28 11 741; DE-U-88 09 422). In the case of the known hinges, the angle limitation which is necessary for setting up the picture frame with the aid of the support foot is determined by stops which are designed either as axial projections on the rollers of one hinge flap and as adapted axial recesses in the rollers of the other hinge flap, or along the rollers of the one hinge tab over the entire roller length to which the other hinge tab is attached when it is set up of the picture frame strikes. In the case of the known hinges, there is a risk that they will be damaged and / or bend in the area of the stops in the event of greater loads, such as can easily arise if the picture frame is improperly installed.

Von gattungsfremden Scharnieren sind folgende Merkmale bekannt: Bei dem aus FR-A-329 588 bekannten Scharnier ist ein Scharnierteil an einem Rahmen befestigt; das andere Scharnierteil dient als Fuß für den Rahmen und ist durch Ausklappen einer Verlängerung um ein Gelenk verlängerbar. Zwischen beiden Scharnierteilen ist eine Verbindung vorgesehen, die mittels eines Scharniers um das eine Scharnierteil schwenkbar ist und in aufgestelltem Zustand des Rahmens eine Öffnung in dem anderen verlängerten Scharnierteil durchsetzt. Die Öffnung ist mit einem Dorn versehen, der in eine von mehreren Öffnungen in der Verbindung eingreift. Im verkürzten, eingeschwenkten Zustand des anderen Scharnierteils durchsetzt die Verbindung auch eine Öffnung in der Verlängerung. Bei dem aus GB-A-15 283 bekannten Scharnier ist jeder Scharnierlappen in Längsrichtung geschlitzt. Das Scharniergelenk weist eine besondere Lagerhülse auf, die zwischen den geschlitzten Scharnierteilen angeordnet ist. An einem der Scharnierlappen ist an der dem Scharniergelenk entgegengesetzten Kante ein Verbindungssteg angelenkt. Der Verbindungssteg ist bei geöffnetem Scharnier unter einem Winkel von 90o und mehr angeordnet und an dem anderen Scharnierlappen abgestützt. Bei geschlossenem Scharnier ist der Verbindungssteg in eine Lage im wesentlichen parallel zu dem einen Scharnierlappen geschwenkt; er wird von dem Längsschlitz aufgenommen.The following features are known from non-generic hinges: in the hinge known from FR-A-329 588, a hinge part is fastened to a frame; the other hinge part serves as a foot for the frame and can be extended by folding out an extension around a joint. A connection is provided between the two hinge parts, which can be pivoted about the one hinge part by means of a hinge and, when the frame is in the installed state, penetrates an opening in the other extended hinge part. The opening is provided with a mandrel that engages one of a plurality of openings in the connection. In the shortened, swiveled-in state of the other hinge part, the connection also penetrates an opening in the extension. In the hinge known from GB-A-15 283, each hinge tab is slotted in the longitudinal direction. The hinge joint has a special bearing sleeve, which is arranged between the slotted hinge parts. A connecting web is articulated on one of the hinge tabs on the edge opposite the hinge joint. The connecting bridge is arranged at an angle of 90 o and more when the hinge is open and is supported on the other hinge tab. When the hinge is closed, the connecting web is pivoted into a position essentially parallel to the one hinge tab; it is received by the longitudinal slot.

Darstellung der Erfindung:Presentation of the invention:

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Scharnier der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß bei Vermeidung von Anschlägen eine stabile Begrenzung des Öffnungswinkels der Scharnierlappen zueinander und damit auch des Stützfußes bezogen auf den Bilderrahmen gegeben ist, dabei den Öffnungswinkel in Grenzen wählbar zu machen und innerhalb der gewählten Grenzen zwei definierte Öffnungswinkel vorzusehen, wobei in geschlossenem Zustand des Scharniers der Verbindungssteg zwischen den beiden Scharnierlappen liegen soll, um die Scharnierdicke in Grenzen zu halten und so eine flache Auflage in enger Anlage an den Bilderrahmen zu gewährleisten. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß an einem der Scharnierlappen an der dem Scharniergelenk entgegengesetzten Kante ein Verbindungssteg angelenkt ist, der durch ein Stegscharnier in zwei gegeneinander schwenkbare Stegteile geteilt ist, von denen bei geöffnetem Scharnier der eine Stegteil wahlweise unter einem Winkel oder parallel zu dem einen Scharnierlappen angeordnet und der andere Stegteil an dem anderen Scharnierlappen abgestützt ist, und die bei geschlossenem Scharnier in eine Lage im wesentlichen parallel zu den beiden Scharnierlappen geschwenkt sind.The invention has for its object to provide a hinge of the type mentioned in such a way that a stable limitation of the opening angle of the hinge flap to one another and thus also of the support leg relative to the picture frame is given while avoiding stops, thereby making the opening angle selectable within limits and to provide two defined opening angles within the selected limits, with the connecting web between the two hinge tabs in the closed state of the hinge in order to keep the hinge thickness within limits and thus to ensure a flat support in close contact with the picture frame. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that a connecting web is articulated on one of the hinge tabs on the edge opposite the hinge joint, which is divided by a web hinge into two web parts which can be pivoted relative to one another, of which, when the hinge is open, one web part optionally at an angle or arranged parallel to the one hinge tab and the other web part is supported on the other hinge tab, and which are pivoted into a position substantially parallel to the two hinge tabs when the hinge is closed.

Bei der Erfindung sind Anschläge, insbesondere im Bereich des Scharniergelenks, vermieden. Der Öffnungswinkel des Scharniers ist vielmehr bestimmt durch die Länge des Verbindungsstegs und den Winkel, den er mit dem ersten Scharnierlappen bildet. Der Öffnungswinkel ist also in Grenzen wählbar. Der Öffnungswinkel des Scharniers und damit des Aufstellfußes bezogen auf den Bilderrahmen ändert sich nicht, auch wenn der Aufstellfuß über den Aufstellwinkel hinaus von dem Bilderrahmen weg gedrückt werden sollte. Der Verbindungssteg ist an dem anderen Scharnierlappen abgestützt. Der Öffnungswinkel ist so fixiert; ein Wegfedern des Aufstellfußes unterbleibt. Bei geschlossenem Scharnier liegt der Verbindungssteg zwischen den beiden Scharnierlappen - im wesentlichen parallel zu dem ersten Scharnierlappen -, um die Scharnierdicke in Grenzen zu halten und so eine flache Auflage in enger Anlage an den Bilderrahmen zu gewährleisten.In the invention, stops, in particular in the area of the hinge joint, are avoided. The opening angle of the hinge is rather determined by the length of the connecting web and the angle that it forms with the first hinge tab. The opening angle can therefore be selected within limits. The opening angle of the The hinge and thus the stand relative to the picture frame does not change, even if the stand should be pressed away from the picture frame beyond the installation angle. The connecting web is supported on the other hinge tab. The opening angle is fixed; the support foot does not spring away. When the hinge is closed, the connecting web lies between the two hinge lobes - essentially parallel to the first hinge lobe - in order to keep the hinge thickness within limits and thus to ensure a flat support in close contact with the picture frame.

Bei dem Scharnier nach der Erfindung sind dünne Materialien verarbeitbar, die eine nicht auftragende Konstruktion und ihre verdeckte Anbringung gewährleisten. Ein Stabilitätsverlust tritt dabei nicht auf.In the hinge according to the invention, thin materials can be processed, which ensure a non-bulky construction and its concealed attachment. There is no loss of stability.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird das Scharnier minimiert, insbesondere so ausgebildet, daß eine weitere Reduzierung der Scharnierstärke eintritt, wenn einer der Scharnierlappen von zwei aufeinanderliegenden Lappenteilen gebildet ist, von denen der eine mit dem anderen Scharnierlappen über das Scharniergelenk verbunden und mit den Krallen versehen und der andere mit dem Verbindungssteg über eines der Fußgelenke verbunden und mit Öffnungen für den Durchtritt der Krallen versehen ist.In a development of the invention, the hinge is minimized, in particular designed so that a further reduction in the hinge thickness occurs when one of the hinge tabs is formed by two superimposed tab parts, one of which is connected to the other hinge tab via the hinge joint and provided with the claws and the other is connected to the connecting web via one of the ankles and is provided with openings for the passage of the claws.

Die Bildung eines der Scharnierlappen aus zwei Lappenteilen ermöglicht die Reduzierung der Materialstärke für das gesamte Scharnier, ohne daß dieses an Stabilität einbüßt. Die beiden Lappenteile liegen plan aufeinander; sie stützen sich an ihren gesamten Flächen gegeneinander ab. Dies erleichtert das Anschlagen des Scharniers an die Bilderabdeckung bzw. den Aufstellfuß. Nocken oder dergleichen zur Stabilisierung entfallen.The formation of one of the hinge tabs from two tab parts makes it possible to reduce the material thickness for the entire hinge without losing stability. The two flap parts lie flat on top of each other; they support differ from each other across their entire surfaces. This makes it easier to attach the hinge to the picture cover or stand. No cams or the like for stabilization.

Bei der Erfindung ist der Öffnungswinkel des Scharniers bestimmt durch die Länge des Verbindungsstegs und den Winkel, den er mit dem ersten Scharnierlappen bildet. Der Öffnungswinkel ist zunächst in Grenzen wählbar; in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind innerhalb der gewählten Grenzen zwei definierte Öffnungswinkel vorgesehen. Bei geschlossenem Scharnier liegt der Verbindungssteg zwischen den beiden Scharnierlappen - im wesentlichen parallel zu dem ersten Scharnierlappen -, um die Scharnierdicke in Grenzen zu halten und so eine flache Auflage in enger Anlage an den Bilderrahmen zu gewährleisten.In the invention, the opening angle of the hinge is determined by the length of the connecting web and the angle which it forms with the first hinge tab. The opening angle can initially be selected within limits; In an embodiment of the invention, two defined opening angles are provided within the selected limits. When the hinge is closed, the connecting web lies between the two hinge tabs - essentially parallel to the first hinge tab - in order to keep the hinge thickness within limits and thus to ensure a flat support in close contact with the picture frame.

An dem Scharnierlappen 1 ist an der dem Scharniergelenk abgewandten Kante 13 ein Verbindungssteg 8 angelenkt. Die Länge des Verbindungsstegs 8 ist proportional dem Öffnungswinkel des Scharniers. Bei geöffnetem Scharnier - in den Figuren jeweils Buchstabe c) - ist der Verbindungssteg 8 unter einem Winkel zu dem Scharnierlappen 1 angeordnet und an dem anderen Scharnierlappen 2 abgestützt. Bei geschlossenem Scharnier - in den Figuren jeweils Buchstabe b) - ist der Verbindungssteg 8 in eine Lage im wesentlichen parallel zu dem ersten Scharnierlappen 1 geschwenkt.A connecting web 8 is articulated on the hinge flap 1 on the edge 13 facing away from the hinge joint. The length of the connecting web 8 is proportional to the opening angle of the hinge. When the hinge is open - in the figures each letter c) - the connecting web 8 is arranged at an angle to the hinge tab 1 and is supported on the other hinge tab 2. When the hinge is closed - in the figures each letter b) - the connecting web 8 is pivoted into a position substantially parallel to the first hinge tab 1.

Bei dem in Figur 1 dargestellten Scharnier übergreifen zur Bildung des Scharniergelenks 5, 6 die Rollen 11 des einen Scharnierlappens 1, die Rollen 21 des anderen Scharnierlappens 2. Bei den in den Figuren 2 bis 4 dargestellten Scharnieren greifen zur Bildung des Scharniergelenks 5, 6 die Rollen 11 des einen Scharnierlappens 1 kammartig in die Rollen 21 des anderen Scharnierlappens 2 ein.In the hinge shown in Figure 1 overlap to form the hinge joint 5, 6, the rollers 11 of one hinge lobe 1, the rollers 21 of the other hinge lobe 2. In the hinges shown in Figures 2 to 4, the hinge joint 5, 6 form the Rolls 11 of one hinge tab 1 comb-like into the rolls 21 of the other hinge tab 2.

Bei den in den Figuren 1, 2 und 5 dargestellten Scharnieren sind der eine Scharnierlappen 1 und der Verbindungssteg 8 an den aneinanderstoßenden Kanten 13, 83 als Rollen 14, 84 ausgebildet. Die Rollen 14, 84 bilden eine Scharnierrolle 54. Die Scharnierrolle 54 ist von einem Scharnierdraht 64 durchsetzt. Die Scharnierrolle 54 bildet mit dem Scharnierdraht 64 ein Scharnier-Fußgelenk.In the hinges shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, the one hinge tab 1 and the connecting web 8 are designed as rollers 14, 84 on the abutting edges 13, 83. The rollers 14, 84 form a hinge roller 54. The hinge roller 54 is penetrated by a hinge wire 64. The hinge roller 54 forms a hinge ankle joint with the hinge wire 64.

Bei den in den Figuren 1, 4 und 5 dargestellten Scharnieren sind an den aneinanderstoßenden Kanten 25, 85 auch der andere Scharnierlappen 2 und der Verbindungssteg 8 als Rollen 26, 86 ausgebildet. Die Rollen 26, 86 bilden eine Scharnierrolle 56. Die Scharnierrolle 56 ist von einem Scharnierdraht 66 durchsetzt. Die Scharnierrolle 56 bildet mit dem Scharnierdraht 66 ein weiteres Scharnier-Fußgelenk.In the hinges shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the other hinge tab 2 and the connecting web 8 are also formed as rollers 26, 86 on the abutting edges 25, 85. The rollers 26, 86 form a hinge roller 56. The hinge roller 56 is penetrated by a hinge wire 66. The hinge roller 56 forms a further hinge ankle joint with the hinge wire 66.

Der Verbindungssteg 8 ist durch ein Stegscharnier in zwei gegeneinander schwenkbare Stegteile 81, 82 geteilt. Bei den in den Figuren 1, 2, 4 und 5 dargestellten Scharnieren ist das Stegscharnier wie folgt gebildet: An den aneinanderstoßenden Kanten sind die Stegteile 81, 82 als Rollen ausgebildet, die kammartig ineinandergreifen.The connecting web 8 is divided by a web hinge into two web parts 81, 82 which can be pivoted relative to one another. In the case of the hinges shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5, the web hinge is formed as follows: on the abutting edges, the web parts 81, 82 are designed as rollers which intermesh like a comb.

Die Rollen bilden eine Scharnierrolle 57. Die Scharnierrolle 57 ist von einem Scharnierdraht 67 durchsetzt. Scharnierrolle 57 und Scharnierdraht 67 bilden das Stegscharnier. Bei dem in Figur 3 dargestellten Scharnier ist das Stegscharnier von einem Filmscharnier 50 gebildet.The rollers form a hinge roller 57. The hinge roller 57 is penetrated by a hinge wire 67. Hinge roller 57 and hinge wire 67 form the web hinge. In the hinge shown in FIG. 3, the web hinge is formed by a film hinge 50.

Bei dem in Figur 3 dargestellten Scharnier weist der eine Scharnierlappen 1 parallel zu seiner freien Kante 13 einen Schlitz 17 auf, in den eine an den Verbindungssteg 8 angeformte Rolle 87 greift. Auch der andere Scharnierlappen 2 weist parallel zu seiner freien Kante 25 einen Schlitz 28 auf, in den eine an den Verbindungssteg 8 angeformte Rolle 88 eingreift. Jeder Scharnierlappen 1, 2 ist außerdem im Abstand von seiner freien Kante 13, 25 in Richtung des anderen Scharnierlappens 2, 1 mit einer Kröpfung 19, 29 versehen.In the hinge shown in FIG. 3, one hinge tab 1 has a slot 17 parallel to its free edge 13, into which a roller 87 formed on the connecting web 8 engages. The other hinge tab 2 also has a slot 28 parallel to its free edge 25, into which a roller 88 formed on the connecting web 8 engages. Each hinge tab 1, 2 is also provided with a crank 19, 29 at a distance from its free edge 13, 25 in the direction of the other hinge tab 2, 1.

Bei den in den Figuren 4 und 5 dargestellten Scharnieren ist der Scharnierlappen 1 von zwei aufeinanderliegenden Lappenteilen 16, 18 gebildet. Der eine Lappenteil 16 ist mit dem anderen Scharnierlappen 2 über das Scharniergelenk 5, 6 verbunden und mit den Krallen 12 versehen. Der andere Lappenteil 18 ist mit dem Verbindungssteg 8 über das Fußgelenk 54, 64 verbunden. Dieser Lappenteil 18 weist Öffnungen 32 auf. Die Öffnungen 32 sind an dem Lappenteil 18 kongruent zu den Krallen 12 in dem Lappenteil 16 angeordnet. In völlig zusammengeklapptem Zustand des Scharniers durchsetzen folglich die Krallen 12 die Öffnungen 32. Der die Krallen 12 aufweisende Lappenteil 16 ist im Abstand von dem Scharniergelenk 5, 6 in Richtung des anderen Scharnierlappens 2 mit einer Kröpfung 19 versehen. Das Maß der Kröpfung 19 ist der Dicke des Lappenteils 18 angepaßt. Bei aufeinandergelegten Lappenteilen 16, 18 erscheint dadurch der Scharnierlappen 1 zwischen dem Scharniergelenk 5, 6 und dem Scharnier-Fußgelenk 54, 64 im wesentlichen wie ein Stück.In the hinges shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the hinge flap 1 is formed by two flap parts 16, 18 lying one on top of the other. One flap part 16 is connected to the other hinge flap 2 via the hinge joint 5, 6 and provided with the claws 12. The other flap part 18 is connected to the connecting web 8 via the ankle 54, 64. This flap part 18 has openings 32. The openings 32 are arranged on the flap part 18 congruently to the claws 12 in the flap part 16. In the fully folded state of the hinge, the claws 12 thus penetrate the openings 32. The tab part 16, which has the claws 12, is provided with a crank 19 at a distance from the hinge joint 5, 6 in the direction of the other hinge flap 2. The dimension of the offset 19 is adapted to the thickness of the flap part 18. When the flap parts 16, 18 are placed one on top of the other, the hinge flap 1 between the hinge joint 5, 6 and the hinge ankle joint 54, 64 appears essentially as one piece.

Die Lappenteile 16, 18 sowie der Stegteil 82 sind mit je einem Querschlitz 33 versehen. Das Scharniergelenk 5, 6 und das Steg-Scharnier 57, 67 verlaufen über die gesamte Breite der Scharnierlappen 1, 2 des Verbindungsstegs 8. Dagegen sind die Scharnier-Fußgelenke 54, 64 und 56, 66 schmaler ausgeführt als die zugehörigen Teile, an denen sie angeformt sind. Die freien Kanten der Lappenteile 16, 18 des Scharnierlappens 2 sowie des Verbindungsstegs 8 sind angefast. Der Scharnierlappen 2 weist an den Längsseiten an diametral gegenüberliegenden Stellen Vorsprünge 34 auf.The flap parts 16, 18 and the web part 82 are each provided with a transverse slot 33. The hinge joint 5, 6 and the web hinge 57, 67 extend over the entire width of the hinge flap 1, 2 of the connecting web 8. In contrast, the hinge ankle joints 54, 64 and 56, 66 are narrower than the associated parts on which they are molded. The free edges of the flap parts 16, 18 of the hinge flap 2 and of the connecting web 8 are chamfered. The hinge tab 2 has projections 34 on the longitudinal sides at diametrically opposite locations.

Die Stärke des Scharniers ist gegenüber herkömmlichen Scharnierstärken reduziert. Für die Bildung des Scharniergelenks 5, 6, der Scharnier-Fußgelenke 54, 64 und 56, 66 sowie des Steg-Scharniers 57, 67 sind daher Scharnierdrähte 6, 64, 66 und 67 verringerten Durchmessers vorgesehen.The strength of the hinge is reduced compared to conventional hinge strengths. Hinge wires 6, 64, 66 and 67 of reduced diameter are therefore provided for forming the hinge joint 5, 6, the hinge ankle joints 54, 64 and 56, 66 and the web hinge 57, 67.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellten Scharnieren schwenken aus den geschlossenen Lagen - jeweils Darstellung b) -, in der die Stegscharniere 57, 67 die unterste Begrenzung des Scharniers bilden, in die geöffnete Lage - jeweils Darstellung c) -, wobei der Stegteil 81 um den einen Scharnierlappen 1, die beiden Stegteile 81, 82 umeinander und der Stegteil 82 um den anderen Scharnierlappen geschwenkt wird, bis die Stegteile 81, 82 in derselben Ebene liegen.The hinges shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 pivot from the closed positions - each representation b) - in which the web hinges 57, 67 form the lowest limit of the hinge, into the open position - each representation c) -, the web part 81 around the one hinge flap 1, the two web parts 81, 82 around one another and the web part 82 is pivoted about the other hinge flap until the web parts 81, 82 lie in the same plane.

Bei den in den Figuren 4 und 5 dargestellten Scharnieren liegt das Steg-Scharnier 57, 67 bei an der Bildabdeckung 3 anliegendem Aufstellfuß 4 in einer von dem Scharniergelenk 5, 6 und dem Fußgelenk 54, 65 bestimmten Ebene, und zwar auf der dem Scharniergelenk 5, 6 abgewandten Seite. Beim Auseinanderklappen des Aufstellfußes 4 kann das Steg-Scharnier 57, 67 zwei fixierte Lagen annehmen: Es kann einmal in der genannten Ebene auf die dem Scharniergelenk 5, 6 zugewandte Seite geschwenkt werden - vgl. Fig. 4 d) -. Es kann aber auch in die von den Fußgelenken 54, 64 sowie 56, 66 bestimmte Ebene geschwenkt werden - vgl. Fig. 4 c) -. Bei dem Scharnier ist also einmal der Schwenkwinkel des Scharniers grundsätzlich wählbar. Über die Lage des Steg-Scharniers 57, 67 zwischen den Stegteilen 81, 82, also über die Wahl der Länge dieser Stegteile, ist darüberhinaus ein zweiter Aufstellwinkel fixierbar.In the case of the hinges shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the web hinge 57, 67 lies in a plane determined by the hinge joint 5, 6 and the ankle joint 54, 65 when the stand 4 rests against the image cover 3, on the side facing away from the hinge joint 5, 6. When the stand 4 is unfolded, the web hinge 57, 67 can assume two fixed positions: it can be pivoted once in the plane mentioned to the side facing the hinge joint 5, 6 - cf. Fig. 4 d) -. However, it can also be pivoted into the plane determined by the ankles 54, 64 and 56, 66 - cf. Fig. 4 c) -. In the case of the hinge, the pivot angle of the hinge can in principle be selected. A second set-up angle can also be fixed via the position of the web hinge 57, 67 between the web parts 81, 82, that is to say via the choice of the length of these web parts.

Für das Anschlagen des Scharniers an die Bildabdeckung 3 einerseits und den Aufstellfuß 4 andererseits wird ausgegangen von einem Scharnier, dessen Teile in eine Ebene geklappt sind - vgl. Fig. 5 a) und f) -. Zunächst wird dann der Lappenteil 16 um das Scharniergelenk 5, 6 um 180o in Anlage an den Scharnierlappen 2 geschwenkt - Übergang von Fig. 5 f) nach e) -. Sodann werden der Scharnierlappen 2 und der Stegteil 82 um das Steg-Scharnier 57, 67 um - 180o geschwenkt - Übergang von Fig. 5 e) nach b) -. Bei dieser Schwenkbewegung durchsetzen die Krallen 12 an dem Lappenteil 16 die Öffnungen 32 an dem Lappenteil 18. Sämtliche Scharnierteile, also die Lappenteile 16 und 18, der Scharnierlappen 2 und die Stegteile 81, 82 liegen plan aneinander - vgl. Fig. 4 b) und 5 b) -. In dieser Lage ist das Scharnier leicht an die Bildabdeckung 3 und den Aufstellfuß 4 anzuschlagen.For hitting the hinge on the image cover 3 on the one hand and the stand 4 on the other hand, a hinge is assumed, the parts of which are folded into one plane - cf. 5 a) and f) -. First, the flap part is then pivoted 16 o about the hinge joint 5, 6 through 180 in contact with the hinge leaf 2 - transition from FIG 5 f) to e). -. Then, the hinge leaf 2 and the web portion 82 to the web hinge 57, 67 to - o pivoted 180 - transition from FIG 5 e) to b). -. During this pivoting movement, the claws 12 on the flap part 16 penetrate the openings 32 on the flap part 18. All the hinge parts, that is to say the flap parts 16 and 18, the hinge flap 2 and the web parts 81, 82 lie flat against one another - cf. 4 b) and 5 b) -. In this position, the hinge can be easily attached to the picture cover 3 and the stand 4.

Die Scharnierlappen 1, 2 und/oder die Rollen 11, 12 können an den Stirnseiten mit Scharnierlappen und Rollen anderer Scharniere zu einem bandförmigen Werkstück zusammengefaßt sein. Das Werkstück wird dann einer Anschlagmaschine zugeführt, wo die Scharniere vereinzelt und an der Bildabdeckung 3 und dem Aufstellfuß 4 befestigt werden.The hinge tabs 1, 2 and / or the rollers 11, 12 can be combined on the end faces with hinge tabs and rollers of other hinges to form a band-shaped workpiece. The workpiece is then fed to a striking machine, where the hinges are separated and attached to the image cover 3 and the stand 4.
