Abstract

Single-joint hinge (10) for the pivotable attachment of a door element (12), which comes to rest against a cabinet body, with a hinge (16), which is visible in the closed position of the door element and the door element contact part (20) of which has a press-in pot (38), which can be inserted into a recess (36) machined in the edge region in the back of the door element (12), breaking through to the adjacent edge border of the door element, and in which an offset joint component (sliding piece 44), which can be inserted from the edge border parallel to the flat sides of the door element, is attached and which carries the part of the hinge that is assigned to the door element, in the form of a bearing link (54) accommodating the hinge pin, at the end of a projection (52) that is bent at right angles and is extended to the outside of the door element (12). The body contact piece (18) of which single-joint hinge is constructed as an extended supporting arm (22) attached to the body supporting wall (14) assigned to it, the front edge of which supporting arm (22), facing the door element, has a section, which is bent at right angles and is taken to the leading edge of the body wall (14), and two supporting legs (30), which project from there, accommodate between themselves the right-angled projection (52) carrying the hinge assigned to the door element (12) and in the free ends of which the bearing links (12) for the hinge pin are constructed. By arranging a pre-formed bent spring (58), constructed as a leaf spring, in a depression (56) of the right-angled segment (28) of the body contact part and a sliding lug (60) at the area of the offset hinge component (44) which lies opposite the door element contact part (20), a locking device which keeps the door element (12) in the closed position is formed.
