• connection between the body 5 and the element 15, hereinafter referred to as "glass”, will be effected by clamping, here following the engagement of the body, which forms a protruding structure, in the recessed shape 15a that is present element 15, locally, on one of its sides.
• this element 15 is plane.
• This plane is here marked 23 and is also the one in which the body 5 of the hinge generally extends (see FIG. 2). It is in this plane 23 that the fixing between the hinge and the pane 15 will take place, the recessed shape 15a being open at 150, for the engagement of the body 5.
