I need a hinge to do this......

[doorframe]

I'm making a breakfast bar from 40mm kitchen worktop. It will have a hinged extension. But I want it to hinge as the following pics show...

From this...

To this...

What I don't want is this...

Any ideas?

They won't work.
The issue is the fact the leaf needs to move forward to open up. Either that or the leaf is shorter / leaves a gap to allow it to open and not hit the top.

Would a cranked hinge like this work for you?

No. While kitchen hinges do move the door forward as you open it. It is very slight, not the 40mm thickness of the worktop.

I think you're going to struggle with this one unless you chamfer the worktop. The problem I see is that the pivot point means the leaf will foul the underside of the main surface.

The only possible solution I can see is a twin operation hinge whereby you pull the leaf out first and then fold up. Or normal hinges mounted on a sliding rail.

I think the rule hinge is a good compromise

I can't see where the pivot of the hinge might be otherwise ....

It would be nice if we could see an English version of that show in this country.....

I think this might do the job. I got a pair from the US to repair a table with two centre leaves which fold down face-to-face and have to seperate when lifted into position then the two end faces push together. Effectively it's a sliding hinge that becomes self-supporting. If I can find where I've put them I'll post a pic.
Otherwise, here's a link

Sort of what I was trying to describe (ish) but I think those would be way too small, it mentions using #4 screws....

I've seen them in my searching but couldn't figure out what they do.

I came accross this...

Any idea what these are called?

They look like a take on the invisible link hinge.

SOSS hinges

They're a concealed hinge. They mortise into the inner edges of both the door and case and disappear when the door is closed.

 

[rafezetter]

How about a hinge designed for a garden gate like this:

http://www.marinesuperstore.com/item/4392%2FPK/ecs-stainless-steel-strap-hinge-129mm

but with the longer side slotted, so the hinge slides in and out, You could put threaded T nuts in the underside of the leaf with the sliding section and used knurled thumb turns to secure it.

could you put a leg near it ?

the hinge could swing from leg instead of fixed top

or is it solid worktop?
you could make it a feature ,big wooden hinge with a pin thru it
