Each of these assemblies has its own constant. This constant is the distance between the arm depth and the corner of the cup with the hinge closed. As shown in the figures, each assembly has its own constant, which is set by the different arm heights. K Fig. 1 K Fig. 2 K Fig. 3 (1) Full overlay arm: it has the highest constant to overlay the whole side (0mm cranking) (2) Half overlay arm: intermediate constant to overlay part of the side (10mm cranking) (3) Full inset arm: minimum constant for embedded doors (17mm cranking) 544 www.nover.com.au & SEGNIHSGNITTIF TFIL
