Wall or partition system for use in buildings to divide large spaces into smaller spaces, which wall or partition system has a hinge for connecting adjacent wall or partition elements

摘要

Movable partition elements and a hinge to connect the partition elements to each other. The partition elements can be swung on the hinge toward one another until they are substantially parallel to each other. The hinge can have stacked or crossed connecting arms seated in or braced against connecting elements attached to the partition elements. The hinge can also have a retainer which passes through a penetration in each of the connecting elements. The retainer can be inserted into or connected to the partition elements by the retainer shank. The retainer further can separate the connecting arms from each other. The retainer finally can be designed to form or support the axle arms on which the connecting arms can rotate.
