摘要

The hinge which has two interconnected hinge parts has a locking element (28) which is pressed over the entire swivel path of the doors (12) through a force dependent on the weight of the door (12) against the end face (38) of the other hinge part or into one of the locking recesses (32, 34) provided in an opposite end face, without spring forces acting on the two hinge parts (6, 8) in the axial direction of the hinge pin (4). The locking element and/or locking recess has inclined flanks in the direction of relative movement of the two end faces during opening and closing of the doors.
