Claim:
A hinge arrangement of a door ( 14 ) for a housing ( 22 ) for closing an opening comprising a housing opening, a partition opening, a wall opening, or a similar opening, the hinge arrangement comprising: at least one pivot pin ( 18 a , 18 b , 24 a , 24 b ) connected to the door ( 14 ), pointing vertically toward the housing ( 22 ), and that can be brought into engagement in a pivot pin receptacle ( 20 a , 20 b , 26 a , 26 b ) in the housing ( 22 ); an actuating element in combination with the pivot pin ( 18 a ), wherein the actuating element vertically moves the pivot pin ( 18 a ) from a retracted position in which the pivot pin ( 18 a ) is not engaged in the pivot pin receptacle ( 20 a ) into an extended position in which the pivot pin ( 18 a ) is engaged with and rotatably supported in the pivot pin receptacle ( 20 a ); an unlockable spring-loaded locking device ( 41 ) acting on the pivot pin ( 18 a ) and holding the pivot pin ( 18 a ) in the retracted position, wherein releasing the locking device aligns the pivot pin ( 18 a ) with a pivot pin passage ( 15 ) positioned on a door edge ( 14 a ) oriented toward the housing ( 22 ), moving in a direction toward the pivot pin receptacle ( 20 a ) aligned with the pivot pin passage ( 15 ), the locking device ( 41 ) comprising a securing spring ( 42 ) mounted to an outside ( 13 b ) of the door ( 14 ), including a first portion oriented toward a housing wall ( 23 ), and including a second portion protruding through an associated opening ( 44 ) into the door interior ( 13 a ) and in combination with the pivot pin ( 18 a ) to exert an action on the pivot pin ( 18 a ) inside the door, wherein the securing spring ( 42 ) exerts action between the door ( 14 ) and the pivot pin ( 18 a ), acting laterally on the pivot pin ( 18 a ) and sliding the pivot pin ( 18 a ) laterally between an unlocked position and a locked position of the locking device ( 41 ), wherein in the locked position a vertical sliding direction (S) of the pivot pin ( 18 a ) points toward a region of the door ( 14 ) adjacent to the pivot pin passage ( 15 ) and the pivot pin ( 18 a ) cannot be guided through the pivot pin passage ( 15 ).
