Patent ID: 8720009

Claim:
A hinge comprising: at least two pivotally connected components comprising: a first component comprising at least one first round hinge element; a second component comprising at least one corresponding second round hinge element, which the at least one first and second round hinge elements are connected together to be rotatable about a center axis, wherein the at least one first round hinge element is a bearing sleeve with a longitudinal gap, an insertion sleeve with a longitudinal gap is fastened to the second component as the at least one second round hinge element, an outer diameter of each insertion sleeve is matched to an inner diameter of each bearing sleeve and the outer diameter of each insertion sleeve is dimensioned so that with consideration of the resilient design of a circumferential wall, each insertion sleeve can rotate in each bearing sleeve, at least one sleeve wall section at the longitudinal gap of each insertion sleeve which is formed to be resilient and wherein each insertion sleeve is insertable by the longitudinal gap into a longitudinal gap of each bearing sleeve; through relative rotation of the components, each insertion sleeve can be rotated completely into each bearing sleeve, wherein each bearing sleeve of the at least one first round hinge element is fastened to or formed on the first component to protrude at the longitudinal side in such a manner that the longitudinal gap is disposed in the region of a circumferential wall of each bearing sleeve opposite a fastening section, each insertion sleeve fastened to the second component is fastened on at least one end face in such a manner that the circumferential surface of each insertion sleeve is circumferentially free, and the longitudinal gap of each insertion sleeve is freely accessible for insertion into the longitudinal gap of each bearing sleeve; and wherein said at least one resilient sleeve wall section is a cut-free resilient sleeve wall section which adjoins the longitudinal gap of each bearing sleeve of the at least one first round hinge element.
