DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0121] Hinge locks 1 serve for locking a door leaf 10.1 in relation to a door frame 10.2 and for pivoting the door leaf 10.1 in relation to the door frame 10.2, and therefore they have a dual function to this extent. Before the more precise configuration of the hinge lock 1 and the actuation of the hinge lock 1 are described in more detail below, the basic function of the hinge locks 1 will first of all be described in more detail.
[0122] In the illustration of FIG. 1, a plurality of doors 10 arranged tightly next to one another and each having a door leaf 10.1 and a door frame 10.2 are shown. The door leaves 10.1 of the doors 10 are rectangular in configuration and here have a significantly greater height than width. Typically, such door arrangements are used for large servers or switch cabinets.
[0123] As can furthermore be seen in FIG. 1, each of the doors 10 which are shown has a total of eight hinge locks 1, and therefore each door leaf 10.1 can firstly be pivoted and open to the left, i.e. about the respective four left hinge locks 1, and also about the four right hinge locks 1. In order to open the door leaf 10.1 to the left, the left hinge locks 1 then have to be locked and the right hinge locks 1 released. If the door leaf 10.1 is intended to be opened to the right, the right hinge locks 1 have to be locked and the left hinge locks 1 released. If all eight hinge locks 1 of a door 10 are locked, the door leaf 10.1 is fixed in relation to the door frame 10.2, and the door leaf 10.1 can correspondingly not be moved. If all eight hinge locks 1 are released, the door leaf 10.1 can be removed from the door frame 10.2.
[0124] As can be seen in the illustration of FIG. 2, the hinge locks 1 of an end region of the door leaf 10.1, i.e. the right hinge locks 1 and the left hinge locks 1, are each arranged in a hinge strip 7. The hinge strip 7 together with the respective hinge locks 1 forms a hinge assembly 11, and therefore each of the door leaves 10.1 illustrated in FIG. 1 is connected to the door frame 10.2 via two hinge assemblies 11.
[0125] Before various configurations and mounting possibilities of the hinge strips 7 and the hinge assemblies 11 will be entered into more detail below, the design of the individual hinge locks 1 will now first of all be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5a and 5b. In the illustration of FIGS. 5a and 5b, a hinge lock 1 is shown in an exploded illustration. The hinge locks 1 which can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 correspond to those which are illustrated in FIGS. 5a and 5b.
[0126] The hinge locks 1 essentially consist of two parts, namely a first hinge element 2 and a second hinge element 3. In the locking position V, the first hinge element 2 and the second hinge element 3 are pivotably connected to each other such that the door leaf 10.1 can then be correspondingly pivoted about these hinge locks 1 or about the pivot axis S of the hinge locks 1. With regard to the hinge assembly 11 having a plurality of hinge locks 1, the hinge elements 2, 3 of each hinge lock 1 of a hinge assembly 11 are pivotable about the same pivot axis S, and therefore each hinge assembly 11 can be assigned a pivot axis S. Accordingly, all of the hinge elements 2, 3 of a hinge assembly 1 are pivotable relative to one another about the same pivot axis S. In the release position E, the two hinge elements 2, 3 are then no longer coupled pivotably to each other, but rather they are movable in a translational manner relative to each other such that the door leaf 10.1 can then be correspondingly pivoted about another pivot axis S or the door leaf 10.1 can be removed from the door frame 10.2, as has already been described above.
[0127] The first hinge element 2 consists of three elements, namely a hinge base 2.1, a bolt 4 which is movable to and fro in a locking direction R, and a bolt holder 2.2. The bolt holder 2.2 and the hinge base 2.1 act here as guides for the bolt 4, and the bolt 4 is captively accommodated between said two elements, and therefore the bolt 4 can be removed only when the hinge base 2.1 and the bolt holder 2.2 are separated from each other. Both the hinge base 2.1 and the bolt holder 2.2 have guides which are denoted by 2.11 and by 2.21, respectively, and in which a guide element 4.11 configured in the manner of a guide pin is in each case guided. During a movement of the bolt 4 in the locking direction R, the guide elements 4.11 are then moved in the corresponding guides 2.11, 2.21 and a movement of the bolt 4 in some other way is prevented. As is apparent in particular in FIG. 5b, the bolt 4 has a total of four guide pins, of which in each case two are guided in the guide 2.11 of the hinge base 2.1 and two in the guide 2.21 of the bolt holder 2.2.
[0128] In addition, the bolt holder 2.2 also has a lateral guide for the bolt 4, as can be seen in FIG. 5a. A bolt sliding surface 2.22 is set back for this purpose, thus producing a type of receptacle with two lateral guide surfaces 2.23 which then laterally embrace and guide the bolt 4.
[0129] As can furthermore be seen, the bolt 4 has a substantially L-shaped cross section and it consists of a quite planar movement portion 4.1 and a bolt portion 4.2 arranged perpendicularly thereto. The movement portion 4.1 is arranged between the hinge base 2.1 and the bolt holder 2.2 and is moved to and fro between the locking position V and the release position E by a drive rod 6.1, as will be described in more detail below with reference to the other figures. The bolt portion 4.2 is configured in the form of a block and is therefore also significantly more stable than the movement portion 4.1. This is accompanied by the fact that, in the locking position V, the bolt portion 4.2 ensures that the pivot pin 3.2 is accommodated between the bolt portion 4.2 and the hinge base 2.1 or the pivot pin receptacle 2.17 of the hinge base 2.1 and is therefore sometimes exposed to comparatively high forces, this also being associated with the size and the weight of the door leaf 10.1.
[0130] Furthermore, the bolt portion 4.2 has two recesses 4.21 which divide the bolt portion 4.2 into three bolt blocks 4.22. As can be seen with reference to FIG. 5b, the hinge base 2.1 has two guide protrusions 2.15 which engage precisely in the recess 4.21 of the bolt portion 4.2 and therefore additionally serve for laterally guiding the bolt portion 4.2. Furthermore, the hinge base 2.1 also has additional lateral guide surfaces 2.14 which likewise laterally guide the bolt portion 4.2.
[0131] In addition, the division of the bolt portion 4.2 into three is also adapted to the configuration of the second hinge element 3, which is configured in the manner of a hinge block. As can be seen in FIG. 5b, the second hinge element 3 has a mounting region 3.1 with a flat surface via which the second hinge element 3 can be connected to the door frame 10.2. The pivot pin 3.2, the longitudinal axis of which forms the pivot axis S of the hinge lock 1 and therefore also the pivot axis of the door leaf 10.1 in relation to the door frame 10.2, is arranged spaced apart from said mounting region 3.1. The pivot pin 3.2 is connected to the mounting region 3.1 via a connection region 3.3. The mounting region 3.1 has two reinforcing ribs 3.31 which can be seen in FIG. 5b and which are aligned with the guide protrusions 2.15. To this extent, in the locking position V, the three bolt blocks 4.22 of the bolt 4 embrace the two reinforcing ribs 3.31 of the second hinge element 3 and, in the release position E, embrace the two guide protrusions 2.15 of the hinge base 2.1. During a movement between the locking position V and the release position E, the bolt 4 or the bolt portion 4.2 thus moves either between the reinforcing ribs 3.31, in order to secure the hinge pin 3.2 in the hinge pin receptacle 2.17, or between the guide protrusions 2.15, in order to release the hinge pin 3.2 in said release position E.
[0132] In order to connect the hinge base 2.1 to the bolt holder 2.2, the two elements have corresponding bores, and therefore the hinge base 2.1 can be connected to the bolt holder 2.2 via a screw connection. The corresponding bores of the bolt holder 2.2 are arranged on a connection protrusion 2.24, and the bores of the hinge base 2.1 on a mounting portion 2.18, which likewise protrudes somewhat. These protrusions result, behind the corresponding portions 2.18, 2.24, in a guide groove which extends through the first hinge element 1 perpendicularly to the locking direction R and which can also be seen in FIG. 6a. The bolt 4 is not illustrated in FIG. 6a, but the intermediate space between the hinge base 2.1 and the bolt holder 2.2, in which intermediate space the bolt 4 is arranged, can readily be seen. The corresponding surfaces of the intermediate space are each configured as drive rod sliding surfaces and denoted by 2.16 and by 2.25. The drive rod 6.1, not illustrated in FIG. 6a, and the functioning of which will be described in more detail below, is arranged in the groove-shaped intermediate space between the bolt 4 and the hinge base 2.1 in the central region, and between the bolt holder 2.2 and the hinge base 2.1 in the two outer regions.
[0133] The drive rod 6.1 is configured as a flat rod and is movable perpendicularly to the locking direction R and therefore in the longitudinal direction of the hinge strip 7. The drive rod 6.1 has a total of four S-shaped guide slots 6.11, of which in each case two are arranged in pairs and of which in each case two serve for driving a bolt 4, and therefore two bolts 4 can be moved to and fro with the drive rod 6.1. In addition, the guide elements 4.11 of the bolt 4, which guide elements are guided in the guides 2.11, 2.21 of the bolt base 2.1, are also guided in the guide slots 6.11 of the drive rod 6.1. This becomes clear with reference to FIG. 6a, for example. The two guide elements 4.11 which face the hinge base 2.1 and are guided in the guide 2.11 namely also penetrate the two guide slots 6.11 of the drive rod 6.1. Each guide element 4.11 is guided here in one of the guide slots 6.11. During a linear movement of the drive rod 6.1, the guide elements 4.11 then slide in the guide slot 6.11 and therefore move the bolt 4 forward or back in the locking direction R, depending on in which direction the drive rod 6.1 is moved.
[0134] In order to correspondingly move the drive rod 6.1, a drive device 6.2 which forms an actuation device 6 together with the drive rod 6.1 is provided. The design of the drive device 6.2 can be seen in the exploded illustration of FIG. 11. The drive device 6.2 first of all has a rotatable actuation element 6.24 which, in the exemplary embodiment, is configured as a tool actuation, as can also be seen, for example, with reference to FIG. 4 or FIG. 13a. Alternatively, however, the actuation element 6.24 can also be configured, for example, as a handle actuation means, as a knob actuation means or as a latch actuation means. The actuation element 6.24 is mounted rotatably in the drive housing 6.25, and the drive housing 6.25 is connected to the hinge strip 7 via mounting points 7.6 which can be seen in FIG. 7a. The drive housing 6.25 also serves as a mounting for a pinion 6.22 which is rotationally coupled to the actuation element 6.24 and accordingly is correspondingly moved during a rotational movement of the actuation element 6.24. The pinion 6.22 meshes with an actuation rod 6.23, which is configured as a toothed rack and has a plurality of recesses arranged next to one another, and, in the manner of a linear drive, leads to the actuation rod 6.23 being correspondingly moved linearly in the longitudinal direction of the hinge strip 7 during a rotation of the pinion 6.22. In order to guide the actuation rod 6.23, a linear guide 6.26 which is likewise connected to the drive housing 6.25 and is therefore not movable, is provided. The connection of the drive housing 6.25 and of the linear guide 6.26 via two screws can also be seen in FIGS. 13a and 13b. Furthermore, it can be seen, in particular in FIG. 13b, that the actuation element 6.24 is secured rotatably in the axial direction together with the pinion 6.22 via a screw and is also connected to the linear guide 6.26 by the drive housing 6.25.
[0135] The actuation rod 6.23 has, at both of its ends, hook-shaped connection portions via which it can be connected to two drive rods 6.1, i.e. to one on each side. During a movement of the actuation rod 6.23 via the actuation element 6.24, the two drive rods 6.1 are therefore jointly set in motion. Since each drive rod 6.1 is coupled to two bolts 4 in each case via the guide slots 6.11, which are arranged in pairs, all four bolts 4 of the hinge assembly 11 can therefore be moved to and fro together and in parallel between the locking position V and the release position E via the drive device 6.2. In a development, it would also be possible to also couple the drive rods 6.1 to further drive rods 6.1 in order therefore also to actuate a plurality of bolts 4 simultaneously.
[0136] FIGS. 12a and 12b show a blocking device 6.3 which is likewise part of the drive device 6.2. The blocking device 6.3 has a movable blocking tongue 6.31 which is rotatable to and fro in the manner of a sash lock. In the blocking position, the blocking tongue 6.31 engages in the recesses, which can be seen in FIG. 11, of the actuation rod 6.23 and therefore then blocks a movement of the actuation rod 6.23. Owing to the fact that the actuation rod 6.23 is coupled to the actuation element 6.24, then, by blocking of the actuation rod 6.23, the actuation element 6.24 can also simultaneously no longer be rotated.
[0137] The blocking device 6.3 is insertable into the drive housing 6.25 via a connection region 6.32 and can be connected to the drive housing 6.25 via a screw. As can be seen with reference to the various positions of the blocking device 6.3 in FIG. 4, the blocking device 6.3 can be arranged both below and above the drive housing 6.25. Accordingly, the drive housing 6.25 correspondingly also has two receptacles into which the blocking device 6.3 can be inserted. The entire drive device 6.2, irrespective of whether a blocking device 6.3 is or is not provided, can be configured as a preassembled mounting unit which can be mounted as a whole on the hinge strip 7, as will also be explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 7a to 7f. This mounting unit can also be seen in FIGS. 13a and 13b.
[0138] As has already been described above, the hinge locks 1 which are arranged in an end region of the door leaf 10.1 are mounted together on a hinge strip 7. Said hinge assembly 11 is configured as a preassembled mounting unit and can be connected as a whole to the door leaf 10.1.
[0139] The figures show two different configurations of the hinge assembly 11, namely firstly, in FIGS. 1 to 4, a hinge assembly 11 which is connected to the inner side of the door leaf 10.1 such that the hinge strip 7 is not visible from the outside and lies concealed between the door leaf 10.1 and the door frame 10.2. In a different configuration in which the hinge strip is arranged on the outer side of the door leaf 10.1, as is illustrated, for example, in FIGS. 14 to 17, the hinge strip 7 and/or the hinge assembly 11 can also be seen from the outside. The hinge strips 7 and the hinge assemblies 11 of the two exemplary embodiments only differ slightly from one another in respect of their construction. It is therefore basically possible to preassemble a basic hinge strip which then, depending on whether the latter is intended to be used for mounting on the inside, on the inner side of the door leaf, or for mounting on the outside, on the outer side of the door leaf, can be adapted to the corresponding use situation with only little outlay. First of all, mounting of the hinge assembly 11 on the inside will now be described with reference to FIGS. 7a to 7f and the sectional views of FIGS. 8 to 10. The configuration of the hinge elements 2, 3, which is described in FIGS. 5a, 5b and 6, and also the drive device 6.2 are basically usable both for mounting on the inside and for mounting on the outside.
[0140] According to the illustration in FIG. 7a, the hinge strip 7 has a basic element 7.1 which, after mounting, rests on the surface of the door leaf 10.1. A first limb element 7.2 extends perpendicularly from said basic element 7.1, said limb element, when the hinge strip 7 is mounted on the inside, lying against a chamfer of the door leaf 10.1, as can be seen in FIG. 8b. A second limb element 7.3 which is angled in relation to the basic element 7.1 and encloses a smaller angle with the latter than the first limb element 7.2 is arranged at that end of the basic element 7.1 which is opposite the first limb element 7.2. In the exemplary embodiment, the angle between the second limb element 7.3 and the basic element 7.1 is approximately 60 degrees. Furthermore, the hinge strip 7 has a plurality of mounting points 7.4 which each serve for the mounting of a hinge lock 1. The mounting points 7.4 each have two mounting pins 7.41 which extend perpendicularly to the basic element 7.1 and are fixedly connected to the basic element 7.1. The hinge locks 1 or the hinge base 2.1 and the bolt holder 2.2 can be connected both to one another and to the hinge strip 7 via said mounting pins 7.1. Furthermore, the mounting points 7.4 each have a mounting recess 7.42 which extends both through the basic element 7.1 and through the first limb element 7.2, as can be seen in the illustrations of FIGS. 7a to 7e.
[0141] During the mounting of a hinge lock 7, first of all the hinge base 2.1 is now placed into the mounting recess 7.42 such that the mounting pins 7.41 penetrate the bores provided for them in the hinge base 2.1. Owing to the size of the mounting recesses 7.42 that is matched to the hinge base 2.1 and owing to the position of the mounting pins 7.41, the hinge base 2.1 can be placed into the hinge strip 7 only in a predefined position. The rear side of the mounting portion 2.18 facing the pivot pin receptacle 2.17 then rests on the inner side of the basic element 7.1 of the hinge strip 7, and the pivot pin receptacle 2.17 protrudes in relation to the hinge strip 7, as can also be seen, for example, in FIGS. 8a and 8b.
[0142] After the mounting of the hinge base 2.1, the drive rod 6.1 is placed into the hinge strip 7 such that it extends parallel to the basic element 7.1. Owing to the drive rod sliding surface 2.16 which is set back in relation to the mounting portion 2.8, the drive rod 6.1 can be placed against the corresponding edge of the hinge base 2.1 such that the guides 2.11 lie below the guide slots 6.11 and, owing to the overlap, a substantially circular passage through the drive rod 6.1 and the hinge base 2.1 is produced.
[0143] In a next step, the bolt 4 is then placed into the hinge base 2.1, as can be seen in FIG. 7c. Two of the total of four guide elements 4.11 then extend through the two guide slots 6.11, which are arranged parallel to each other, of the drive rod 6.1 into the guides 2.11 of the hinge base 2.1. The bolt portion 4.2 of the bolt 4 points here in the direction of the pivot pin receptacle 2.17. The bolt holder 2.2 is subsequently then mounted and positioned in such a manner that the two mounting pins 7.41 extend through the two bores into the connection protrusion 2.24 of the bolt holder 2.2. The bolt holder 2.2 then embraces the bolt 4 and secures the latter against an unintentional movement. The guide elements 4.11 of the bolt 4 extend here into the guides 2.21 of the bolt holder 2.2, and the bolt 4 can move only linearly in the locking direction R. In order to move the bolt 4, the drive rod 6.1 can then be moved perpendicularly to the locking direction R, as has already been described above. In a final step, the bolt holder 2.2 and therefore also the bolt 4 and the hinge base 2.1 are then fastened to the hinge strip 7 via nuts which can be screwed onto the mounting pins 7.41, as can be seen in FIG. 7d. Furthermore, it can also be seen that the drive rod 7 is connected to two hinge locks 1 or to two bolts 4, or that the guide elements 4.11 are guided by two bolts 4 in each case in the two guide slots 6.11 of the guide rod 6.1, the guide slots being arranged in the end regions.
[0144] After the first hinge element 2 and the drive rods 6.1 for the movement of the bolts 4 have then been mounted in the hinge strip 7, the drive device 6.2, via which the drive rods 6.1 can be moved, can be mounted. As has already been described above, the drive device 6.2 is configured as a preassembled mounting unit, and therefore the latter can be mounted as a whole in the hinge strip 7. For the drive device 6.2, the hinge strip 7 has a mounting point 7.6 which has suitably oriented mounting pins 7.61 and corresponding recesses such that the actuating element 6.24 can be actuated from the outside. As can be seen in FIG. 7e, the mounting point 7.6 has both a recess for the blocking device 6.3 arranged above the drive housing 6.25 and for a blocking device 6.3 arranged below the drive housing 6.25. However, in practice, only one of these two recesses is provided or one of the recesses is closed via a blind cover.
[0145] After the mounting of the drive device 6.2, the hook-shaped end-side connection portions of the actuation rod 6.23 engage in the correspondingly configured portions of the drive rod 6.1 such that the actuation rod 6.23 is coupled via its two end regions to two drive rods 6.1. The actuation rod 6.23 which is configured as a flat rod is arranged here parallel to the first limb element 7.2 and therefore also perpendicularly to the drive rod 6.1, which is likewise configured as a flat rod. All four hinge locks 1 can then be jointly and simultaneously actuated via the drive device 6.2. If the hinge strip 7 has been correspondingly fitted with the hinge locks 1 and the drive device 6.2, said hinge assembly 11 can be arranged as a preassembled mounting unit on the inner side of a door leaf 10.1. According to FIG. 3, mounting pins 10.4 can be arranged for this purpose on the inner side of the door leaf, via which mounting pins the hinge strip 7 can then be screwed to the door leaf 10.1.
[0146] It can be seen in FIG. 3 that the second hinge elements 3 have also already been connected to the first hinge elements 2. For this purpose, the bolts 4 have to be transferred into the release position E, and the second hinge elements 3 can then be pushed into the first hinge elements 2 such that the pivot pins 3.2 of the second hinge elements 3 then lie in the pivot pin receptacles 2.17 of the hinge base 2.1. The bolts 4 are subsequently transferred again into the locking position V in order to secure the pivot pins 3.2 between bolt 4 and pivot pin receptacle 2.7. The door leaf 10.1 can then be fastened to the door frame 10.2 by fastening the second hinge elements 3 to the latter. Alternatively, the two hinge elements 3 can also be arranged first on the door frame 10.2 and the door leaf 10.1 or the corresponding hinge bases 2.1 can be plugged onto the second hinge elements 3.
[0147] FIGS. 8a and 8b show an end region of the door leaf 10.1 in a closed position. The door frame 10.2 has a step, at the end of which a seal 10.5 is arranged, the seal being compressed by the door leaf 10.1 in the closed position. Furthermore, the step of the door frame 10.2, which step extends into the free frame cross section, has a mounting region which extends parallel to the surface of the door leaf 10.1 and on which the second hinge element 3 is arranged. The hinge assembly 11 which is illustrated in FIG. 7f is arranged on the inner side of the door leaf 10.1 that faces the door frame 10.2. FIG. 8a corresponds here to a sectional view through the bolt 4. Accordingly, only part of the basic element 7.1 and the second angled limb element 7.3 of the hinge strip 7 can also be seen. The bolt 4 is in the locking position V, and therefore the bolt secures the pivot pin 3.2 in the pivot pin receptacle 2.17 and only a rotational movement about the pivot axis S is possible instead of any translational movements of the two hinge elements 2, 3. In FIG. 8a, the drive rod 6.1 can be seen as a flat element, and the latter is moved in the viewing direction, i.e. perpendicularly to the sheet plane, for moving the bolt 4. The clearance, into which the bolt 4 is moved during a transfer from the locking position V into the release position E, can also be readily seen. The drive device 6.2 or the screw, via which the actuation element 6.24 and the pinion 6.22 are secured in the axial direction on the drive housing 6.25, can be seen in the background.
[0148] The entire hinge strip 7, i.e. also the first limb element 7.2, which lies against a chamfer of the door leaf 10.1 pointing in the direction of the door frame 10.2, can be seen in FIG. 8b. Since, in the view according to FIG. 8b, the hinge element 1 is not itself illustrated in a sectional view, the bolt 4 which is accommodated in the interior of the first hinge element 2 between the hinge base 2.1 and the bolt holder 2.2 cannot be seen. However, both the mounting pin 10.4, via which the hinge assembly 11 or the hinge strip 7 is arranged on the inner side of the door leaf 10.1, and the mounting pin 7.41, via which the hinge base 2.1 and the bolt holder 2.2 are connected to the hinge strip 7, can be seen.
[0149] The illustration in FIG. 9 basically corresponds to the view from FIG. 8a, but the bolt 4 is in the release position E, and therefore the door leaf 10.1 can be moved in a translational manner in relation to the door frame 10.2, and the door leaf 10.1 can be pivoted, for example, about the left pivot axis S, which is illustrated in FIG. 10. The guide elements 4.1 of the bolt 4 are located in the end region of the S-shaped guide slot 6.11 such that, in this position, the bolt 4 also no longer lies in the receiving region 3.4 between the pivot pin 3.2 and the mounting region 3.1 of the second hinge element 3. FIG. 10 then shows the opposite end region of the door leaf 10.1 in a pivoted position. The hinge elements 1 of the hinge assembly 11 arranged in this end region are in the locking position V, and therefore a pivoting movement of the door leaf 10.1 is possible.
[0150] The second configuration, which is illustrated in FIGS. 14 to 17, relates to a hinge strip 7 and a hinge assembly 11 arranged on the outer side of the door leaf 10.1 instead of on the inner side of the door leaf 10.1. Since the hinge strips 7 are correspondingly visible from the outside, the latter, in addition to the previously described configuration, also have a hinge strip cover 7.7 and closing elements 7.8 at the upper and at the lower end. The differences of the hinge elements 2, 3 over the first embodiment will be explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 19a to 21.
[0151] FIGS. 18a to 18e show the mounting of the individual components of the hinge assembly 11 analogously to the illustrations in FIGS. 7a to 7f. In order to see the two end regions of the hinge strip 7, the central region of the hinge strip 7 is not illustrated in FIGS. 18d and 18e. Since, however, the drive device 6.2 located in this region is identical to the drive device 6.2 which has already been described above with regard to the hinge assembly 11 that is suitable for the mounting on the inside, reference is made to the above description in respect of the configuration and the connection of the drive device 6.2.
[0152] In the case of the hinge assembly 11 for the mounting on the outside, the hinge strip 7 is first of all pushed into the hinge strip cover 7.7, as can be seen in FIG. 18a. Since the hinge strip 7 is configured identically both for mounting on the inside and for mounting on the outside, reference is also made to this extent to the above description. The mounting of the hinge base 2.1 and of the drive rod 6.1 illustrated in FIGS. 18b and 18c is also identical to what has already been described above in respect of FIGS. 7a and 7b. The mounting of the bolt 4 and of the bolt holder 2.2 is therefore not also illustrated in FIGS. 18a to 18e.
[0153] In contrast to the hinge assembly 11 for the mounting on the inside, after the mounting of the first hinge element 2 in the case of the hinge assembly 11 for the mounting on the outside, the hinge strip cover 7.7 is connected to the hinge strip 7. For this purpose, use is made of a mounting element 7.5 which is configured as a pressure piece and which is illustrated in the illustration of FIG. 18d. The pressure piece is supported in relation to the hinge strip 7 and has two protrusions which are configured in the manner of wings and which, in the connected position, engage behind or in corresponding notches in the hinge strip cover 7.7. The hinge strip cover 7.7 is therefore clamped against the hinge strip 7 by the pressure piece. For the mounting, the pressure piece is first of all introduced into the hinge strip 7 and then rotated by 900 such that the protrusions engage under the hinge strip cover 7.7 or into the corresponding receptacle. By means of the inherent stress in the material of the pressure piece, the hinge strip cover 7.7 is then connected in a frictionally locking manner to the hinge strip 7 such that, for example, no screws which are visible from the outside have to be screwed into the hinge strip cover 7.7. In a final step, the ends of the hinge strip 7 or of the hinge strip cover 7.7 are then also closed via closing elements 7.8, as can be seen in FIG. 18e.
[0154] FIGS. 19a and 19b, analogously to FIGS. 8a and 8b, show the hinge assembly 1 which is arranged on the outer side of the door leaf 10.1. A substantial difference consists in that the first hinge element 3 for the mounting on the outside is longer than for the mounting on the inside. This is associated with the fact that the second hinge element 2 has to span not only the distance between door frame 10.2 and door leaf 10.1, but in addition also the height of the hinge strip 7. A pivot axis S which is further away from the door frame 10.2 then also results therefrom. Equally, during the mounting on the outside, the door leaf 10.1 overall can reach closer to the door frame 10.2 since little space, if any at all, is required there for the hinge assembly 11, as becomes clear when comparing FIGS. 19a and 8a. In addition, a larger free door frame cross section is also produced since, in the door frame 10.2, only sufficient space is needed for the mounting of the second hinge element 3, but not in addition also for the first hinge element 2 or the hinge strip 7 and the drive actuation means 6.2.
[0155] The mounting element 7.5 and the protrusions which grip behind the hinge strip cover 7.7 and which thereby press the hinge strip cover 7.7 against the hinge strip 7 can be seen in FIG. 19b. With regard to FIGS. 20 and 21, reference is made to the description of FIGS. 9 and 10.
[0156] In order to fasten the hinge assembly 11 to the outer side of the door leaf 10.1, mounting pins 10.3 which are configured as hexagon socket screws are provided according to FIG. 16. Said mounting pins are screwed from the inside through the door leaf 10.1 and then into the hinge strip 7 such that no screws can be seen from the outside. Alternatively, it is also possible to screw the screws into the mounting element 7.5.
[0157] Overall, the hinge assemblies 11 for the mounting on the inside and for the mounting on the outside differ only slightly from one another, and therefore simple conversion and simple adaptation of the preassembled components is possible.
