    Multifunctional applications of multiple-joint hinges

    A universal all-rounder beyond “open & close”

    Multi-joint hinges are extremely versatile and can be used far beyond their classic application as door hinges. We have listed some innovative and multifunctional applications here – and they are certainly not all:

    Folding wall shelves:

    • Multi-joint hinges make it possible to design wall shelves that can be folded out when required and stowed away on the wall to save space when not in use. This creates flexible storage solutions, especially in rooms with limited space.

    Fold-out table extensions:

    • In kitchens or dining areas, multi-joint hinges can be used to create table extensions. These can be folded out as required to provide additional seating or work space and can be folded away to save space when not in use.

    Foldable worktops:

    • In workshops or craft rooms, multi-joint hinges can be attached to worktops to make them larger if required. This allows flexible use of the workspace and makes it easier to work on larger projects.

    Folding coat racks:

    • Multi-joint hinges can be integrated into coat racks to create foldable hooks or rods. This allows space to be used efficiently and the wardrobe to be extended or reduced in size as required.

    Adjustable bookshelves:

    • In libraries or living rooms, multi-joint hinges can be used to create bookcases that can be customized. Shelves can be folded up or down to create space for books of different heights or decorative objects.

    Folding desks:

    • Multi-joint hinges are ideal for folding desks for home offices or small workspaces. They can be used as a work surface when required and folded up to save space when not in use.

    Mobile presentation walls:

    • In offices or conference rooms, multi-joint hinges can be used to create mobile presentation walls that can be flexibly positioned and opened or closed as required.

    Adjustable load separator:

    • Multi-joint hinges can be used in drawers or cabinet systems to create adjustable drawer dividers. This allows drawers to be flexibly adapted for items of different sizes.

    Folding steps:

    • In households, multi-joint hinges can be integrated into folding steps. These offer a space-saving solution for easier access to higher shelves or cupboards.

    Folding training equipment:

    • Multi-joint hinges can be integrated into sports equipment such as folding weight benches or exercise equipment for home training to save space when not in use.

    Foldable camping furniture:

    • Multi-joint hinges make it possible to create foldable camping chairs, tables or loungers. These can be easily transported and offer flexible seating and lounging options in outdoor areas.

    Movable works of art:

    • Artists can use multi-joint hinges to integrate movable elements into their art installations. This creates interactive works of art that change depending on the viewer or environment.

    Folding structures:

    • In architecture, multi-joint hinges can be used to design foldable building elements, such as folding bridges, partition walls or roof structures. These enable flexible use of space and surroundings.

    Movable stage elements:

    • In the theater or event sector, multi-joint hinges can be used to create movable stage elements. Scenery, platforms or props can be flexibly adjusted and moved.

    Modular exhibition stands:

    • Multi-joint hinges can be used in modular exhibition stand designs for exhibitions. Stands can be modified and adapted as required to display different products or presentations.

    Folding car parts:

    • Multi-joint hinges can be used in the automotive industry for hinged car parts, such as hinged tailgates, side mirrors or sunroofs.

    Foldable boat equipment:

    • In the shipping industry, multi-joint hinges can be used to create foldable boat equipment, such as foldable railing parts, tables or chairs for sailing boats.

    Adjustable medical devices:

    • In medical research and rehabilitation, multi-joint hinges can be used in adjustable medical devices to enable adaptation to different patient needs.

    Folding aircraft components:

    • In aviation, multi-joint hinges can be used to develop folding aircraft components, such as folding wings or landing flaps.

    These diverse application examples show that multi-joint hinges can be used in various areas of life and industries to create innovative solutions for mobility, flexibility and space saving.
