The first hinge part 1 may be a hinge leaf and may comprise openings 4 or other means for securing the hinge leaf. Alternatively, the first hinge part 1 may be a fastening bolt or similar member which may be fastened to a frame structure on the wall. The first hinge part 1 may further comprise rolled portions 1a and 1b for the hinge pin 3. The second hinge part 2 may consist of two components, namely a first hinge component 5 and a second hinge component 6. The first hinge component 5 may be attached to the hinge pin 3, for example by means of a sleeve 7. Alternatively, it may be secured, for example, by means of a rolled portion, or it may be secured, for example, by welding directly to a hinge pin 3. The first hinge component 5 may comprise a protruding portion 8 which may be The projection part 8 has at least one locking opening 9, from which the first hinge component 5 can be locked to the second hinge component 15. The second hinge component 6 may comprise a bottom part 10 and a cover part 11 which can define a locking space 12 in which the projection part 8 of the first hinge component 5 A. In Figure 2, the hinge 3 is shown in a situation where the second hinge part 2 is assembled. When the projection part 8 is pushed into the locking space 12, it is supported in the direction of the hinge pin 3 against the support surfaces in the locking space 12. Further, the lid portion 11 has a tongue 13, which has at least one locking projection 14 facing the locking space 12, adapted to · ·,: If necessary, the tongue 13 may be bent outward, for example by means of a screwdriver, so that the locking projection 14 comes out of the locking opening 9 and the projection 8 can be pulled out of the locking space 12. Next to the tongue 13 one or more recesses 13a, which may facilitate the adjustment of the tool and the bending of the tongue 13. It should be noted that with locking hole 9: ·. means an opening extending through the projection portion 8 as well as a molded portion of the projection portion 8 · · · | ···. 30 recessed recesses.

Thus, the second hinge component 6 is a locking piece which can be φ secured, for example, to a door. To be secured, the locking piece 6 may be provided with one or more openings 15 to which a fastening screw may be fitted. ···. Vi. Alternatively, other attachment methods may be applied to securing the locking member 6 · 35. Further, the cover part 11 of the locking member 6 may have one or more recesses 16 which may receive an adjusting screw 17 or the like of the adjusting members possibly in the first seam 118093. The lid portion 11 and the base portion 10 may be secured to one another by one or more side portions 18. In this way, the body of the locking piece 6 may be formed.The side portions 18 may have a side opening 19 on one side or both opposite sides thereof.

In Fig. 3, the locking piece 6 is shown from the side of the base part 10. The outer surface of the base member 10 may be substantially flat. The bottom part 10 may form a relatively large counter surface against the object to be fastened, whereby the locking piece 6 can be attached very firmly to, for example, a door or window frame. The attachment is made stable even if the hardness of the object to be attached is relatively low or, for example, of poor quality.

In Fig. 4, the locking member 6 is shown as seen from the side of the cover member 11. The tongue 13 may be an elongated portion formed on the lid portion 11, the substantially central portion of which may be a portion 15 20 bent to the locking space 12, forming a locking projection 14.
