FRAME AND HINGE ASSEMBLY FOR A DOOR OR WINDOW

摘要

Hinge assembly, provided with a frame with a first pair of substantially mutually parallel running opposite first and second frame elements, which extend in a first direction, and at least a third frame element, which extends in a second direction substantially transverse to the first direction. The first, second, and third frame elements jointly define an opening surface. Hinge means for pivotably receiving a door or window leaf define a hinge axis running parallel to one of the first, second, or the third frame element. The frame element, in the proximity of that hinge axis, is provided with a recess running in a longitudinal direction thereof for receiving a longitudinal edge of a door or window leaf. The recess has an at least partially constant circular cross section, the projection of which coincides with a circumscribed circle from the hinge axis. The hinge axis is then within this recess.
