Abstract:
1. A hinge construction for connecting two components, comprising: a first securing part, fixable on a first of the two components; a second securing part, fixable on the second component; a hinge part; a first coupling device for rotatable coupling of the first securing part to the hinge part; and a second coupling device for pivotable coupling of the hinge part to the second securing part, the second coupling device, in order to set a distance between the two components, including two corresponding curved coupling surfaces which run parallel to the pivot axis and of which a first is provided on the hinge part and the second is provided on the second securing part, at least one section of at least one of the two coupling surfaces being eccentric in the pivoting direction, wherein the distance functions as a connecting gap between a circumferential edge of the first component and a side of the second component, and wherein a groove is provided in the circumferential edge, into which an elastic seal in the form of a profile seal is inserted, which is compressible during the closing of the hinge construction, wherein one of the coupling surfaces defines a concave arcuate surface defining an axis and the concave arcuate surface axis and the pivot axis are substantially colocated.
