the male (3) and female (2) elements. The hinge (1) comprises engaging means to bring
about movement of the pivot (4) along the axis (X-X) as a consequence of mutual rotation
of the male (3) and female (2) elements about the axis (X-X). The engaging means comprise
a pin (15) which is integral with the male element (3) and is inserted into a through
opening (16) formed transversely in the pivot (4) and extending along an axial portion
