1. A torque hinge (1) for pivotally connecting a first object (G1) to a second object (G2), comprising:
a hollow-pin element (10);
a friction element (20);
at least one first bush element (30) designed for connection to the first object (G1);
at least one second bush element (40) designed for connection to the second object (G2);
an inner cable guide (K, K′) that provides electrical and/or electronic connection of the objects (G1, G2); and
at least two component groups (B1, B2) that are disconnectable and connectable at an interface (T), of which a first component group (B1) is allocated to the first object (G1) and a second component group (B2) is allocated to the second object (G2),
wherein the inner cable guide (K, K′) has at least one disconnectable and connectable electrical and/or electronic connector element pair at the interface (T), comprising two connector elements (2,3), including
a first connector element (3) allocated to the first component group (B1) and
a second connector element (2) corresponding to the first connector element (3) and allocated to the second component group (B2),
wherein the hollow-pin element (10) has
a first section (11), which is arranged in the first bush element (30), and
a second section (12), which extends into the second bush element (40) and on which the friction element (20) is arranged in a region between the first and second bush elements (30, 40), and
wherein the hollow-pin element (10)
is connected, at the first section (11), in a rotationally fixed manner to the first bush element (30) and is pivotally received, at the second section (12) of the hollow-pin element (10), in the second bush element (40),
or is designed as a free-running pin, which is pivotally received with the first section (11) in the first bush element (30) and with the second section (12) in the second bush element (40), and
wherein the inner cable guide (K, K′) extends through a longitudinally axial passage opening (D1) of the hollow-pin element (10),
wherein the interface (T) is provided between the hollow-pin element (10) and the first bush element (30),
wherein the rotationally fixed connection of the hollow-pin element (10) to the first bush element (30) is a releasable rotationally fixed connection,
wherein the first component group (B1) includes at least the first bush element (30) and the first connector element (3), and
wherein the second component group (B2) includes at least the second bush element (40), the hollow-pin element (10) and the friction element (20).
