Abstract (en)

1. A hinge for connecting together swivelling panels or the like, comprising two jaws (1, 2) capable of receiving the edges of two panels (3, 4) to be jointed which swivel relatively to each other about two parallel axes (6, 7) carried by an intermediate part (5) forming a junction node, characterized in that each jaw (1, 2) comprises a movable immobilization member (15) subjected to the action of resilient means such as one or several springs (18) and arranged in registry with a receiving seat (19) provided on the corresponding end of the junction node and forming a cam, so that the corresponding panel will be resiliently immobilized in a determined position, for instance in the plane of two axes carried by the junction node, while beyond a certain angle, for instance of +- 20 degrees , there will no longer be a return force tending to return this panel into the said position.
