Panel, and also a hinge section which is suitable, inter alia, for such a panel

The invention relates to a panel for so-called sectional doors, in which a number of panels are hinged together by means of hinge parts which form part of the panel. Each panel consists of an elongated body part, which is formed by two side plates (2,2';30,30') lying a distance apart and along the long narrow sides contains the hinge parts (3,4) for forming the hinged connection. One hinge part (3) contains an arc-shaped nose, the arc-shaped outside wall (12) of which connects virtually directly to one side wall (8) of the body part, and the inside wall (13) running concentrically herewith merges through an acute angle into the other side wall (7) of the body part. The other hinge part (4) has a supporting part lying near one side wall (7') of the body part and bearing an essentially cylindrical thickened part (14), and a concentric wall (17) running at a distance therefrom which with the thickened part leaves a space free for the accommodation of the nose of the other hinge part of an adjacent panel. This concentric wall extends from the foot of the supporting part to the other side wall (8') of the body part and merges through an acute angle into said wall. Through this shape of the hinge parts, a hinged connection which is safe for fingers is obtained between the panels. The invention also relates to a section hinge consisting of two section parts, the shape of which corresponds essentially to the above-described hinge parts.
