  • the length of the elongated tubular element forming the leaf holder 2 is arranged so that a vertical play is provided between the upper end pivot plug 6 and the upper guide element 7, when the lower end plug 6 is in it lowest position.
  • This play provides a clearance space for the leaf holder 2 in the vertical direction and a lifting of the holder in the vertical direction, when pivoted around its axis.
  • the leaf holder 2 would slide vertically towards the guide element 7 now forming the lower one. This provides that the elongated element 23, 23', 23" in the upper hinge element is unlocked relative the guide element 7, wherein the cylinder pin 23, 23', 23" will follow the pivoting movement of the pivot plug 6.
  • the guide pin 27 length in the axial direction may be larger than the diameter of the cylinder pin 23, 23', 23".
  • a resilient element such as a spring
  • the spring may be provided as a coil spring arranged on the guide pin 27.
  • the upper elongated element 23, 23', 23" When mounting the door leaf 3 with the hinge 1 as described herein, the upper elongated element 23, 23', 23" should be unlocked, upper placed hinge element should have the lifting mechanism is deactivated, while the lower hinge element should have the lifting mechanism activated and providing the lifting function.
  • the locking means for the elongated element 23, 23', 23" may be involve a threaded pin 28, 28', 28", such as a screw, which may be unlocked with a tool such as screw driver or wrench.
  • the lower elongated element 23, 23', 23" should be locked in a desired position.
  • the desired position may be adjusted by having both elongated elements 23, 23', 23" unlocked relative the guide elements 7, and then move the door leaf 3 and the leaf holder 2 pivotally around the pivot axis A to a desired position, wherein the elongated element 23, 23', 23" in the lower guide element 7 has followed the pivotal movement of the leaf holder 2.
  • the elongated element 23, 23', 23" in the lower guide element 7 is then locked in the desired position as described herein above.
  • the wall fixing element 5 may be provided with two horizontal through slots at one side of the fixing element 5 extending from the wall, when mounted thereto.
  • the slots are arranged for fixing the connecting part 4 to the wall fixing element 5, wherein the connecting part 4 has been inserted into the u-shaped port of the fixing element 5.
  • the slots further provide means for adjusting the angle of the connecting part 4 relative the wall to which the fixing element 5 is mounted.
  • a shower partition comprising the door leaf 3, hinges 1 and other part normally contains water sealing means, such as sealing strips at door leaves at their lower edges for connecting sealingly to the bathroom floor or at a vertical door edge for sealingly closing to another vertical door edge.
  • the recess 17 of the pivot plug 6 may according to some embodiments not be symmetrically formed channel 17. In this way, there may be arranged a way of providing a lifting function in only one pivotal direction.
  • the elongated element 23, 23', 23" may also be shorter than the one described herein above, e.g. whereon one end of a cylinder pin contains the bore 26 for the guide pin 27, which extends from the bore 26 towards the side surface 21 of the cavity 20.
