After at least partially pivoting the door element into a second position, the passage is at least partially released. In the closed position, the lower edge of the door element is sealed by means of a sealing element towards the bottom or towards a tub edge. When pivoting the door element, problems may arise with regard to possible damage to the sealing element.

Daher ist beispielsweise aus der EP 1 243 213 A2 eine Duschtrennwand bekannt, deren Türelement im Bereich einer vertikalen Längskante ein Gelenkprofil aufweist. Am oberen Ende des Gelenkprofils ist eine obere Lageranordnung mit einem den Längsbereich übergreifenden Lagerarm vorgesehen. Weiterhin ist unterhalb der Unterkante des Türelements eine untere Lageranordnung vorgesehen, welche mittels eines Lagerzapfens mit dem genannten Gelenkprofil gekoppelt ist. Die untere Lageranordnung enthält ein auf einem Wannenrand oder Boden angeordnetes Lagerelement mit einer Ausnehmung, in welche ein mit dem Gelenkprofil verbundener Zapfen mittels Nocken eingreifen kann, um bestimmte Schwenkpositionen, beispielsweise die vorgenannte erste Position und/oder die zweite Position vorzugeben. Das Türelement wird beim Schwenken entsprechend seiner Drehwinkelposition angehoben oder abgesenkt. Die genannte untere Lageranordnung ist frei zugänglich, und es besteht die Gefahr von Funktionsstörungen infolge von Verschmutzung oder in die Lageranordnung gelangende Fremdkörper. Ferner weist der Schwerpunkt des Türelements zu der genannten unteren Lageranordnung einen recht großen Abstand bzw. Hebelarm auf, so dass auf die Lageranordnung und deren Ausnehmungen sowie Nocken ein erhebliches Drehmoment einwirkt, wodurch eine massive und großvolumige Ausbildung der Lageranordnung bedingt ist.Therefore, for example, from the EP 1 243 213 A2 a shower partition known whose door element has a hinge profile in the region of a vertical longitudinal edge. At the upper end of the joint profile, an upper bearing assembly is provided with a longitudinal region cross-bearing arm. Furthermore, a lower bearing arrangement is provided below the lower edge of the door element, which is coupled by means of a bearing journal with said articulated profile. The lower bearing assembly includes a disposed on a tub rim or floor bearing element having a recess into which a connected to the hinge profile pin can engage by means of cams to specify certain pivotal positions, for example, the aforementioned first position and / or the second position. The door element is raised or lowered during pivoting according to its rotational angle position. Said lower bearing assembly is freely accessible, and there is a risk of malfunction due to contamination or entering the bearing assembly foreign body. Further, the center of gravity of the door member to the said lower bearing assembly on a fairly large distance or lever arm, so that acts on the bearing assembly and its recesses and cams a considerable torque, whereby a massive and large-volume design of the bearing assembly is conditional.

Ferner ist aus der DE 201 12 682 U1 ein Scharnier für eine Schwenktür, insbesondere einer Duschabtrennung, bekannt, wobei das Scharnier ein erstes Lagerteil zur Befestigung des Scharniers, ein zweites Lagerteil zur Verbindung der Schwenktür und ein Zwischenstück aufweist. Das Zwischenstück ist mit einer zur Schwenkachse des Scharniers geneigten Gleitlagerfläche versehen, so dass eine Axialbewegung der Schwenkbewegung überlagerbar ist. Das Zwischenstück ist in einem vorzugsweise hülsenförmigen oder zylindrischen Lagerabschnitt des genannten ersten Lagerteils angeordnet. Der Bolzen greift ferner in einen hülsenförmigen oder zylindrischen Lagerabschnitt eines zweiten Lagerteils ein, wobei dieser Lagerabschnitt eine Ringschulter mit einer Gleitlagerfläche aufweist. Die Ringschulter mit der Gleitlagerfläche ragt in den Lagerabschnitt des ersten Lagerteils hinein, wobei die genannte Gleitlagerfläche an der geneigten Gleitlagerfläche des Zwischenstücks anliegt. Die genannten Lagerabschnitte befinden sich außerhalb der Ebenen der Schwenktür und des feststehenden Wandelements und ebenso die Schwenkachse des Scharniers, so dass die Schwenktür aus der Schließposition nur in eine Richtung aufschwenkbar ist. Weder die Schwenktür noch das Wandelement enthalten im Bereich ihrer zugeordneten vertikalen Längskanten Ausnehmungen. Da das Zwischenstück mit der geneigten Gleitlagerfläche und ebenso die zugeordnete Gleitlagerfläche des zweiten Schamierteils innerhalb des hülsenförmigen oder zylindrischen Lagerabschnitt des ersten Lagerteils angeordnet sind, weisen die Gleitlagerflächen eine recht geringe radiale Breite auf, wodurch nicht unerheblich große Flächenpressungen bedingt sein können.Furthermore, from the DE 201 12 682 U1 a hinge for a hinged door, in particular a shower enclosure, known, wherein the hinge has a first bearing part for fixing the hinge, a second bearing part for connecting the pivot door and an intermediate piece. The intermediate piece is provided with a sliding bearing surface which is inclined to the pivot axis of the hinge, so that an axial movement of the pivoting movement can be superimposed. The intermediate piece is arranged in a preferably sleeve-shaped or cylindrical bearing portion of said first bearing part. The bolt also engages in a sleeve-shaped or cylindrical bearing portion of a second bearing part, wherein this bearing portion has an annular shoulder with a sliding bearing surface. The annular shoulder with the sliding bearing surface protrudes into the bearing portion of the first bearing part, wherein said sliding bearing surface bears against the inclined sliding bearing surface of the intermediate piece. The said bearing sections are located outside the planes of the pivoting door and the fixed wall element and also the pivot axis of the hinge, so that the pivoting door from the closed position can be pivoted in one direction only. Neither the hinged door nor the wall element contain recesses in the region of their associated vertical longitudinal edges. Since the intermediate piece with the inclined slide bearing surface and also the associated slide bearing surface of the second hinge part are arranged inside the sleeve-shaped or cylindrical bearing section of the first bearing part, the slide bearing surfaces have a rather small radial width, which may cause considerable surface pressures.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die genannte Trennwand mit einem geringen konstruktiven Aufwand dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass bei einfacher Bauweise und mit geringem Bauvolumen das Türelement beim Schwenken angehoben bzw. abgesenkt werden kann. Hierzu sollen möglichst wenige und ein geringes Bauvolumen erfordernde Bauteile erforderlich sein, um den Fertigungs- und Montageaufwand zu reduzieren. Des weiteren sollen die eingangs aufgezeigten Nachteile vermieden werden. Auch soll der Materialeinsatz auf ein Minimum reduziert werden, wobei zudem den insbesondere bei Duschtrennwänden wichtigen Designanforderungen in einfacher Weise entsprochen werden soll.Proceeding from this, the invention has the object, the mentioned partition with a small design effort to the effect that with a simple design and low volume, the door element can be raised or lowered during pivoting. For this purpose, as few as possible and a small volume requiring components should be required to reduce the manufacturing and assembly costs. Furthermore, the above-mentioned disadvantages should be avoided. Also, the use of materials should be reduced to a minimum, and also the design requirements important in particular for shower enclosures should be met in a simple manner.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt gemäß den im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The solution of this task is carried out according to the features specified in claim 1.

Die vorgeschlagene Trennwand zeichnet sich aufgrund der Integration der Hebemechanik in das Scharnier und der die Hebemechanik zumindest teilweise umgebenden bevorzugt separat ausgebildeten Abdeckung durch eine einfache und gleichwohl funktionssichere Konstruktion aus. Die Hebemechanik, welche beim Aufschwenken des Türelements aus der ersten Position oder Schließposition ein Anheben bewirkt und beim Zurückschwenken ein Absenken ermöglicht, ist innerhalb der gleichfalls in das Scharnier integrierten Abdeckung angeordnet und somit gegen äußere Einwirkungen geschützt. Das Türelement enthält im Scharnierbereich an seiner vertikalen Längskante eine Ausnehmung, in welche die Hebemechanik und die in vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehene Abdeckung zumindest teilweise angeordnet sind und/oder eingreifen. Die Abdeckung ist bevorzugt als eine im Inneren hohle Kappe ausgebildet, welche das Kopplungselement und/oder den Bolzen und die Elemente der Hebemechanik umgibt und bevorzugt im Wesentlichen zylindrisch ausgebildet ist. Das eine Scharnierteil, an welchem beispielsweise das Türelement befestigt ist, enthält gleichfalls eine mit der Ausnehmung des Türelements korrespondierende Ausnehmung, wobei die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Abdeckung teilweise auch in die Ausnehmung des genannten Scharnierteils eingreift. Die Abdeckung enthält einen im Wesentlichen in vertikaler Richtung verlaufenden Schlitz, durch welche ein Scharnierarm des zweiten Scharnierteils durchgreift, wobei die Abdeckung bezüglich des zweiten Scharnierteils und/oder des mit diesem verbundenen Wandelements gegen Rotation gesichert ist. Die Abdeckung besitzt in vertikaler Richtung eine vorgegebene Höhe, welche zumindest näherungsweise gleich groß ist wie die Höhe der Ausnehmung bzw. der Ausnehmungen des Türelements und des ersten Scharnierteils, wodurch eine Sicherung in axialer Richtung erreicht ist. Bei Schwenkbewegungen und den dabei erfolgenden axialen Bewegungen des Türelements wird folglich auch die Abdeckkappe angehoben bzw. abgesenkt. Die Abdeckung und/oder Abdeckkappe weist an ihrem oberen Ende einen Deckel auf, wodurch in vorteilhafter Weise das Eindringen von Spritzwasser oder Schmutz von oben her in das Innere und die dort vorgesehene Hebemechanik weitgehend verhindert wird.The proposed partition is characterized by the integration of the lifting mechanism in the hinge and the lifting mechanism at least partially surrounding preferably trained separately cover by a simple and yet functionally reliable construction. The lifting mechanism, which causes lifting when pivoting the door member from the first position or closed position and allows pivoting back, is disposed within the cover also integrated in the hinge and thus protected against external influences. The door element contains in the hinge region at its vertical longitudinal edge a recess in which the lifting mechanism and the cover provided in an advantageous manner are at least partially arranged and / or intervene. The cover is preferably formed as a hollow inside cap, which surrounds the coupling element and / or the bolt and the elements of the lifting mechanism and is preferably formed substantially cylindrical. The one hinge part, to which, for example, the door element is fastened, likewise contains a recess corresponding to the recess of the door element, wherein the cover provided according to the invention is also partially inserted into the recess of the said cover Hinge part intervenes. The cover includes a substantially vertically extending slot through which passes through a hinge arm of the second hinge part, wherein the cover is secured against rotation with respect to the second hinge part and / or the wall element connected thereto. The cover has in the vertical direction a predetermined height, which is at least approximately the same size as the height of the recess or the recesses of the door element and the first hinge part, whereby a backup is achieved in the axial direction. During pivoting movements and thereby taking place axial movements of the door element consequently the cap is raised or lowered. The cover and / or cap has at its upper end a lid, which advantageously largely prevents the penetration of water spray or dirt from above into the interior and the lifting mechanism provided there.

Das Türelement ist in bevorzugter Weise als eine Pendeltür ausgebildet, welche aus der Schließposition in beiden Richtungen, zweckmäßig um Winkelbereiche von 90° und darüber aufschwenkbar ist. Sofern das Wandelement ähnlich dem Türelement bevorzugt als eine Platte, insbesondere rahmenlose Glasplatte, und/oder als ein feststehendes Trennelement der Trennwand ausgebildet ist, kann alternativ die genannte Ausnehmung auch im Bereich der vertikalen Längskante des Wandelements angeordnet sein. Wird das feststehende Wandelement durch eine Raumwand, insbesondere eines Bade- oder Duschraumes, gebildet, so ist hingegen die genannte Ausnehmung ebenso wie das erste Scharnierteil dem schwenkbaren Türelement zugeordnet und das zweite Scharnierteil ist zweckmäßig als ein mit der Raumwand verbindbares Winkelstück ausgebildet, dessen Scharnierarm zusammen mit der Hebemechanik in die zugeordnete Ausnehmung des Türelements eingreift.The door element is formed in a preferred manner as a swing door, which is from the closed position in both directions, expediently by angular ranges of 90 ° and can be pivoted about. If the wall element similar to the door element is preferably designed as a plate, in particular a frameless glass plate, and / or as a fixed separating element of the partition wall, alternatively said recess may also be arranged in the region of the vertical longitudinal edge of the wall element. If the fixed wall element is formed by a room wall, in particular a bath or shower room, however, said recess as well as the first hinge part is associated with the pivotable door element and the second hinge part is expediently designed as an angle piece connectable to the room wall, the hinge arm together engages with the lifting mechanism in the associated recess of the door element.

Zur Kopplung des ersten mit dem Türelement verbundenen Scharnierteils mit dem zweiten Scharnierteil ist als Kopplungselement bevorzugt ein Bolzen vorgesehen, welcher im Bereich der genannten Ausnehmung angeordnet ist. Die Hebemechanik enthält zwei miteinander korrespondierende Hebekörper und/oder Lagerelemente und Druckelemente, welche mittelbar oder unmittelbar mit dem ersten Scharnierarm bzw. dem zweiten Scharnierarm drehfest verbunden sind. Die genannten Hebekörper bzw. Elemente besitzen einander zugeordnete Schrägflächen, Kurventeile oder dergleichen, welche derart aneinander liegen, dass beim Schwenken des Türelements dieses angehoben bzw. abgesenkt wird. Die Trennwand enthält bevorzugt zwei beabstandet zueinander angeordnete Scharniere mit der integrierten Hebemechanik und der umgebenden Abdeckung. Somit werden die Kräfte auf die beiden Hebemechaniken verteilt, so dass diese im Vergleich mit einer einzigen Hebemechanik für wesentlich niedrigere Belastungen ausgelegt werden können und im Ergebnis ein erheblich reduziertes Bauvolumen aufweisen. Des weiteren sind die beiden Scharniere vorteilhaft in vorgegebenen Abständen unterhalb der Oberkante des Türelements bzw. oberhalb der Unterkante des Türelements angeordnet. Es hat sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, die Scharniere wenigstens in einem Abstand von 5% zur Oberkante bzw. zur Unterkante anzuordnen, wobei der Abstand zweckmäßigerweise bis 30% von der Oberkante bzw. Unterkante vorgegeben wird.For coupling the first hinge part connected to the door element to the second hinge part, a bolt is preferably provided as the coupling element, which is arranged in the region of said recess. The lifting mechanism comprises two lifting bodies and / or bearing elements and pressure elements which correspond to one another and which are connected in a rotationally fixed manner directly or indirectly to the first hinge arm or the second hinge arm. The said lifting body or elements have mutually associated inclined surfaces, curve parts or the like, which lie against one another in such a way that when pivoting the door element this raised or is lowered. The partition wall preferably contains two spaced-apart hinges with the integrated lifting mechanism and the surrounding cover. Thus, the forces are distributed to the two lifting mechanisms, so that they can be designed in comparison with a single lifting mechanism for significantly lower loads and as a result have a significantly reduced volume of construction. Furthermore, the two hinges are advantageously arranged at predetermined intervals below the upper edge of the door element or above the lower edge of the door element. It has proven to be expedient to arrange the hinges at least at a distance of 5% from the upper edge or the lower edge, wherein the distance is expediently predetermined to 30% of the upper edge or lower edge.

Ferner sind in bevorzugter Weise das Scharnier einschließlich der Hebemechanik derart ausgebildet, dass das Türelement aus der ersten Position oder Schließposition in beide Richtungen schwenkbar bzw. pendelbar ist, und zwar vorteilhaft jeweils bis 90°, insbesondere bis 100°, ggf. auch darüber, so dass das Türelement insgesamt über einen Winkel von mindestens 180°, vorteilhaft 200° und ggf. auch darüber schwenkbar ist. Das Türelement ist als Pendeltür ausgebildet und kann somit in zwei der genannten zweiten Positionen zur Freigabe des Durchgangs der Trennwand geschwenkt werden. Bei Ausbildung der Trennwand als Duschtrennwand kann das Türelement bedarfsweise nach innen in den Duschinnenraum oder nach außen in einen Außenraum aufgeschwenkt werden. In der einen oder in beiden zweiten Positionen kann das Türelement in vorteilhafter Weise arretiert werden, insbesondere durch entsprechende Ausbildung und Abstimmung der Hebe- und Druckelemente, welche in den geneigten Führungs- oder Anlageflächen Vertiefungen und korrespondierende Nocken enthalten, insbesondere zur Vorgabe der Schließposition und der beiden zweiten aufgeschwenkten Positionen. Ferner sei festgehalten, dass aufgrund der Abdeckung und insbesondere der Anordnung der Hebemechanik innerhalb der Abdeckung die Hebemechanik unsichtbar für einen Anwender oder Benutzer ist, wodurch in zweckmäßiger Weise den Forderungen an die Sicherheit und/oder das Design der Trennwand und insbesondere deren Scharnier entsprochen wird. Es hat sich als besonders zweckmäßig erwiesen, die Abdeckung im wesentlichen und/oder zumindest näherungsweise zylindrisch auszubilden, wodurch nicht nur ein gutes ansprechendes Design ermöglicht ist, sondern auch eine kompakte Bauweise erreicht ist.Furthermore, in a preferred manner, the hinge including the lifting mechanism are designed such that the door element from the first position or closed position is pivotable or pendulum in both directions, and in each case advantageously up to 90 °, in particular to 100 °, possibly even above, so in that the door element as a whole can be pivoted over an angle of at least 180 °, advantageously 200 ° and optionally also over it. The door element is designed as a swing door and can thus be pivoted in two of said second positions to release the passage of the partition. When forming the partition wall as a shower partition, the door element can, if necessary, be swung inwards into the shower interior or outwards into an exterior space. In one or both of the second positions, the door element can be locked in an advantageous manner, in particular by appropriate training and tuning of the lifting and pressing elements, which contain recesses and corresponding cams in the inclined guide or contact surfaces, in particular for specifying the closed position and the two second pivoted positions. Further, it should be noted that due to the cover, and in particular the arrangement of the lifting mechanism within the cover, the lifting mechanism is invisible to a user or user, thereby suitably meeting the requirements for safety and / or the design of the partition and in particular its hinge. It has proven to be particularly useful to form the cover substantially and / or at least approximately cylindrical, which not only a good appealing design is possible, but also a compact design is achieved.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Detail der Trennwand mit einem schwenkbaren Türelement 2 und einem feststehenden Wandelement 4, bezüglich welchem das Türelement 2 um eine im wesentlichen vertikale Schwenkachse 6 mittels eines Scharniers 8 schwenkbar angeordnet bzw. gelagert ist. Die Trennwand enthält bevorzugt zwei derartige Scharniere 8, welche in einem vorgegebenen Abstand über der Unterkante des Türelements 2 bzw. unterhalb der Oberkante des Türelements 2 jeweils angeordnet sind. Zweckmäßig sind die beiden Scharniere übereinstimmend ausgebildet und die nachfolgenden Erläuterungen gelten für jedes dieser Scharniere. Das Scharnier 8 enthält ein erstes Scharnierteil 10 und ein zweites Scharnierteil 12, welche zur Vorgabe der Schwenkachse 6 miteinander gekoppelt sind, insbesondere mittels eines Kopplungselements, insbesondere eines Scharnierbolzens, welcher sich innerhalb einer Abdeckung 14 in Form einer Abdeckkappe befindet. Die Schwenkachse 6 befindet sich im Bereich der vertikalen Längskante des Türelements 2 in dessen vertikaler Ebene und das Türelement kann somit als Pendeltür aus der dargestellen Schließposition in beiden Richtungen aufgeschwenkt werden. FIG. 1 shows a detail of the partition with a pivoting door member 2 and a fixed wall element 4, with respect to which the door element 2 is pivotally mounted or mounted about a substantially vertical pivot axis 6 by means of a hinge 8. The partition wall preferably contains two such hinges 8, which are respectively arranged at a predetermined distance above the lower edge of the door element 2 and below the upper edge of the door element 2. Suitably, the two hinges are formed consistently and the following explanations apply to each of these hinges. The hinge 8 includes a first hinge part 10 and a second hinge part 12, which are coupled to each other for specifying the pivot axis 6, in particular by means of a coupling element, in particular a hinge pin, which is located within a cover 14 in the form of a cap. The pivot axis 6 is located in the vertical longitudinal edge of the door element 2 in its vertical plane and the door element can thus be pivoted as a swing door from the Dargestellen closed position in both directions.

Das erste Scharnierteil 10 ist an der hier sichtbaren Außenseite des Türelements 2 in geeigneter Weise befestigt, bevorzugt mittels eines auf der hinter der Zeichenebene und an der Rückseite des Türelements 2 angeordneten Verbindungselements 16, wobei das Türelement 2 zwischen dem ersten Scharnierteil 10 und dem Verbindungselement 16 festgespannt ist. Das Verbindungselement 16 ist gemäß Zeichnung, ebenso wie das erste Scharnierteil 10, plattenförmig ausgebildet, wobei mittels geeigneter Befestigungselemente, wie Schrauben oder dergleichen, das erste Scharnierteil 10 mit dem Verbindungselement 16 verbunden ist. Auch kann das Verbindungselement 16 grundsätzlich als Schraube ausgebildet sein, deren Schraubenkopf flächenbündig mit der Rückseite des Türelements 2 angeordnet ist und durch entsprechende Bohrungen des Türelements 2 hindurch, bevorzugt in Kombination mit konischen Zwischenstücken, mit dem ersten Scharnierteil 10 verbunden ist. Ferner können die Scharnierteile 10, 12 von der hier dargestellten rechteckigen Form abweichende Konturen oder andere Ausgestaltungen der Oberfläche oder entsprechende Verkleidungskörper mit dem gewünschten Design aufweisen.The first hinge part 10 is attached to the visible here outside of the door member 2 in a suitable manner, preferably by means of a arranged behind the plane of the drawing and on the back of the door element 2 connecting element 16, wherein the door element 2 between the first hinge part 10 and the connecting element sixteenth is tightened. The connecting element 16 is according to the drawing, as well as the first hinge part 10, plate-shaped, wherein by means of suitable fastening elements, such as screws or the like, the first hinge part 10 is connected to the connecting element 16. Also, the connecting element 16 may in principle be designed as a screw, the screw head is arranged flush with the back of the door element 2 and through corresponding holes in the door element 2 through, preferably in combination with conical spacers, is connected to the first hinge part 10. Furthermore, the hinge parts 10, 12 may have contours or other surface configurations or corresponding trim bodies of the desired design from the rectangular shape shown here.

Entsprechend dem ersten Scharnierteil 10 ist das zweite Scharnierteil 12 mit dem feststehenden Wandelement 4 verbunden, insbesondere mit einem weiteren Verbindungselement 18 an dessen Rückseite. Für das weitere Verbindungselement 18 und dessen Kopplung mit dem zweiten Scharnierteil 12 gelten die Erläuterungen zum ersten Verbindungselement 16 analog. Ferner kann das zweite Scharnierteil 12 entsprechend dem ersten Scharnierteil 10 angeordnet und/oder ausgebildet sein. Das zweite Scharnierteil 12 enthält einen Scharnierarm 20, welcher in eine zweckmäßig rechteckförmige Ausnehmung 21 des ersten Scharnierteils 10 und eine Ausnehmung 22 des Türelements 2 eingreift, wobei das hier nicht sichtbares Ende des Scharnierarms 20 von der Abdeckung 14 umgeben ist. Die Abdeckung ist bevorzugt als eine Abdeckkappe ausgebildet, welche an einem Ende, bevorzugt am unteren Ende, offen ausgebildet ist. Nachfolgend wird der Einfachheit halber die Abdeckung 14 als Abdeckkappe bezeichnet. Der die Schwenkachse 6 definierende Bolzen oder ein sonstiges Kopplungselement greift einerseits in das genannte Ende des Scharnierarms 20 und andererseits in korrespondierend angeordnete Lagerelemente 24, 26 des zweiten Scharnierteils 12 ein. Bei der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Lagerelemente 24, 26 als zum zweiten Scharnierteil 12 ausgerichtete Schenkel des ersten Scharnierteils 10 ausgebildet oder in diesen enthalten oder mit diesen verbunden. Die genannten Lagerelemente bzw. Schenkel 24, 25 begrenzen unten und oben die Ausnehmung 21 des ersten Scharnierteils 10. Die Lagerelemente 24, 25 sind in vertikaler Richtung bzw. in Richtung der Schwenkachse 6 in einem vorgegebenen Abstand 26 angeordnet und die Ausnehmung 21 des Scharnierteils 10 weist entsprechend diesem Abstand die Höhe 26 auf. Wie dargestellt, ist die Höhe der Ausnehmung 22 des Türelements 2 zweckmäßig größer als die Höhe 26 vorgegeben, insbesondere zum Ausgleich von Maßtoleranzen und/oder zur Montageerleichterung und/oder zur definierten Ausrichtung des Türelements 2 bezüglich des Scharniers 8 bzw. des Scharnierteils 10.Corresponding to the first hinge part 10, the second hinge part 12 is connected to the fixed wall element 4, in particular to a further connecting element 18 on its rear side. For the further connection element 18 and its coupling to the second hinge part 12, the explanations on the first connection element 16 apply analogously. Further, the second hinge part 12 may be arranged and / or formed corresponding to the first hinge part 10. The second hinge part 12 includes a hinge arm 20 which engages in a suitably rectangular recess 21 of the first hinge part 10 and a recess 22 of the door member 2, wherein the not visible here end of the hinge arm 20 is surrounded by the cover 14. The cover is preferably formed as a cap which is open at one end, preferably at the lower end. Hereinafter, the cover 14 is referred to as a cap for the sake of simplicity. The pivot axis 6 defining bolt or other coupling element engages on the one hand in the said end of the hinge arm 20 and on the other hand in correspondingly arranged bearing elements 24, 26 of the second hinge part 12 a. In the embodiment shown here, the bearing elements 24, 26 formed as the second hinge part 12 aligned legs of the first hinge part 10 or contained in this or connected thereto. The aforementioned bearing elements or legs 24, 25 limit the bottom and top of the recess 21 of the first hinge part 10. The bearing elements 24, 25 are arranged in the vertical direction or in the direction of the pivot axis 6 at a predetermined distance 26 and the recess 21 of the hinge part 10 has the height 26 corresponding to this distance. As shown, the height of the recess 22 of the door element 2 is expediently greater than the height 26 predetermined, in particular to compensate for dimensional tolerances and / or to facilitate assembly and / or the defined orientation of the door element 2 with respect to the hinge 8 and the hinge part 10th

Im Kopplungsbereich der beiden Scharnierteile 10, 12 und/oder im Bereich der Schwenkachse 6 ist eine Hebemechanik angeordnet, welche in vorteilhafter Weise von der Abdeckkappe 14 zumindest teilweise umgeben und von dieser gegen äußere Einwirkungen geschützt ist. Die Abdeckkappe 14 besitzt bevorzugt zumindest über den Schwenkbereich des Türelements 2 eine im wesentlichen zylindrische und/oder zur Scharnierachse 6 koaxiale Außenfläche 27, so dass problemlos ein an dieser anliegendes Dichtelement 28 am zweiten Scharnierteil 12 derart vorgesehen sein kann, dass zumindest in der ersten Position des Türelements 2 eine Abdichtung im Bereich der Ausnehmung 22 in Kombination mit der Abdeckkappe 14 vorgegeben ist.In the coupling region of the two hinge parts 10, 12 and / or in the region of the pivot axis 6, a lifting mechanism is arranged, which is surrounded in an advantageous manner by the cap 14 at least partially and is protected from this against external influences. The cap 14 preferably has at least over the pivoting range of the door member 2 is a substantially cylindrical and / or coaxial to the hinge axis 6 outer surface 27, so that easily applied to this fitting sealing element 28 may be provided on the second hinge part 12 such that at least in the first position the door element 2 is a seal in the region of the recess 22 in combination with the cap 14 is predetermined.

Am oberen Ende weist die Abdeckkappe 14 einen Deckel 29 auf, welcher im Zentrum eine hier nicht dargestellte Öffnung enthält, durch welche das Kopplungselement bzw. der Bolzen durchgreift. Abgesehen von dieser Öffnung, welche in bevorzugter Weise das Kopplungselement oder den Bolzen mit einem gegen Null gehenden Ringspalt umgibt, sind somit die innerhalb der Abdeckkappe befindlichen Komponenten gegen das Eindringen von Spritzwasser, Schmutz, Kalkablagerungen oder dergleichen zuverlässig geschützt. Die Abdeckkappe 14 enthält einen, vorteilhaft an der Unterseite offenen Schlitz 30, durch welchen der Scharnierarm 20 in den Innenraum der Abdeckkappe 14 hineinragt. Die Abdeckkappe 14 ist mittels des Scharnierarms 20 bezüglich des zweiten Scharnierteils 12 bzw. des Wandelements 4 gegen Drehung gesichert. Da der Schlitz 30 zum unteren Ende der Abdeckkappe 14 hin offen ausgebildet ist, kann beim Aufschwenken und dem dabei erfolgenden Anheben des Türelements 2 auch die Abdeckkappe 14 die Bewegung in axialer Richtung durchführen. Die Abdeckkappe 14 besitzt in axialer Richtung eine Höhe 31, welche bevorzugt zumindest näherungsweise gleich groß ist wie die Höhe 26 der Ausnehmung 21. Beim Aufschwenken des Türelements 2 wird somit die Abdeckkappe 14 in axialer Richtung nach oben angehoben und entsprechend beim Schließen des Türelements 2 zusammen mit diesem abgesenkt. Somit werden in vorteilhafter Weise unerwünschte Spalte zwischen dem Türelement 2 und der Abdeckkappe 14 und insbesondere das Eindringen von Fremdkörpern oder Schmutz in den Scharnierbereich vermieden. Wie ersichtlich, weist die Oberkante 32 des Scharnierarms 20 zur Unterkante 33 des oberen Lagerelements 25 in der Schließposition einen Abstand 34 auf. Entsprechend diesem Abstand 34 ist oberhalb des Schlitzes 30 die Kappe durchgehend ausgebildet und/oder mit einem Steg 36 versehen. Durch den Steg 36 und insbesondere in Kombination mit dem Deckel 29 besitzt die Abdeckkappe 14 eine stabile und funktionssichere Konstruktion. Da andererseits der Schlitz 30 nach unten offen ausgebildet ist, kann bei der Herstellung die Kappe 14 problemlos montiert werden.At the upper end, the cap 14 has a cover 29, which contains an opening, not shown here in the center, through which passes through the coupling element or the bolt. Apart from this opening, which preferably surrounds the coupling element or the bolt with an annular gap approaching zero, thus the components located within the cap are reliably protected against the ingress of splashing water, dirt, calcium deposits or the like. The cap 14 includes a, advantageously open at the bottom slot 30 through which the hinge arm 20 protrudes into the interior of the cap 14. The cap 14 is secured by means of the hinge arm 20 with respect to the second hinge part 12 and the wall element 4 against rotation. Since the slot 30 is formed open towards the lower end of the cap 14, the cap 14 can perform the movement in the axial direction when pivoting and thereby taking place the lifting of the door member 2. The cap 14 has in the axial direction a height 31, which is preferably at least approximately the same size as the height 26 of the recess 21. When pivoting the door member 2 thus the cap 14 is raised in the axial direction upwards and accordingly when closing the door element 2 together lowered with this. Thus, in advantageously unwanted gaps between the door member 2 and the cap 14 and in particular the penetration of foreign bodies or dirt in the hinge area avoided. As can be seen, the upper edge 32 of the hinge arm 20 to the lower edge 33 of the upper bearing element 25 in the closed position at a distance 34. According to this distance 34, the cap is continuously formed above the slot 30 and / or provided with a web 36. By the web 36 and in particular in combination with the cover 29, the cap 14 has a stable and reliable construction. On the other hand, since the slot 30 is formed open at the bottom, the cap 14 can be easily mounted during manufacture.

Das Scharnier 8 ist bevorzugt derart ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass die Schwenkachse 6 in einer im Wesentlichen vertikalen Ebene liegt, welche durch das Türelement 2 verläuft.
