Abstract
The invention is based on a hinge (10) for connecting three levers (12, 14, 16) of a lever mechanism, having a first bearing shell (18) to which a first lever (12) is secured, and in which a second bearing shell (20) is rotatably supported, on which latter bearing shell a second lever (14) is secured. It is proposed that the second bearing shell (20) has two sectors (22, 24), of which a first sector (22) is solidly connected to the second lever (14), and a second sector (24) is solidly connected to a third lever (16), the sectors (22, 24) allowing a limited pivoting motion counter to one another about the common center point (28).
