Abstract

Hinge for the opening and the closing of hinged doors of furniture units, including a first fixed body designed to be housed in a seat of a horizontal plane of the structure of a furniture unit, such as a base or a top, and a second movable body designed to be housed in a seat of a door of the furniture unit, to actuate the door during opening and closing by way of a movement mechanism including at least one lever or connecting rod connecting a pin placed on the fixed part of the hinge and a pin placed on the movable part, wherein the closing force of the door is determined by a spring, the spring acting, with a tilting action, on an extension of the connecting rod beyond the hinge pin.

Claims (21)

1. Hinge for the opening and the closing of hinged doors of furniture units, comprising a first fixed body designed to be housed in a seat of a horizontal plane of the structure of a furniture unit, and a second movable body designed to be housed in a seat of a door of the furniture unit, to actuate the door in the opening and closing positions by means of a movement mechanism comprising at least one lever or connecting rod connecting a first pin placed on said fixed part of the hinge and a second pin placed on said movable part, in which the closing force of the door is determined by spring means,

wherein said spring means act, with a tilting action, on an extension of said connecting rod beyond said first hinge pin, wherein said spring means comprise a compression spring held in position during tilting by a guide-spring stem sliding in a seat and having a head restrained to said extension of the connecting rod, the spring acting between said head of the stem and a stop around said seat.

2. The hinge according to claim 1 , wherein said head of the guide-spring stem has a recess designed to engage with a protrusion of said extension of the connecting rod.

3. The hinge according to claim 2 , further comprising a damper against which said extension of the connecting rod acts during closure of the door.

4. The hinge according to claim 3 , further comprising a second connecting rod connecting a pin placed on the fixed body of the hinge and a pin placed on said movable body, said second connecting rod co-operating with the connecting rod for the actuation of the door during opening and closing.

5. The hinge according to claim 4 , further comprising a damper against which a nose of said second connecting rod acts when closing the door.

6. The hinge according to claim 3 , wherein said fixed body is made of two half-shells, which house a pair of casings, between which the various components of the hinge are arranged.

7. The hinge according to claim 2 , further comprising a second connecting rod connecting a pin placed on the fixed body of the hinge and a pin placed on said movable body, said second connecting rod co-operating with the connecting rod for the actuation of the door during opening and closing.

8. The hinge according to claim 7 , further comprising a damper against which a nose of said second connecting rod acts when closing the door.

9. The hinge according to claim 7 , wherein said fixed body is made of two half-shells, which house a pair of casings, between which the various components of the hinge are arranged.

10. The hinge according to claim 2 , wherein said fixed body is made of two half-shells, which house a pair of casings, between which the various components of the hinge are arranged.

11. The hinge according to claim 1 , further comprising a damper against which said extension of the connecting rod acts during closure of the door.

12. The hinge according to claim 11 , further comprising a second connecting rod connecting a pin placed on the fixed body of the hinge and a pin placed on said movable body, said second connecting rod co-operating with the connecting rod for the actuation of the door during opening and closing.

13. The hinge according to claim 12 , further comprising a second damper against which a nose of said second connecting rod acts when closing the door.

14. The hinge according to claim 12 , wherein said fixed body is made of two half-shells, which house a pair of casings, between which the various components of the hinge are arranged.

15. The hinge according to claim 11 , wherein said fixed body is made of two half-shells, which house a pair of casings, between which the various components of the hinge are arranged.

16. The hinge according to claim 1 , further comprising a second connecting rod connecting a pin placed on the fixed body of the hinge and a pin placed on said movable body, said second connecting rod co-operating with the connecting rods for the actuation of the door during opening and closing.

17. The hinge according to claim 16 , further comprising a damper against which a nose of said second connecting rod acts when closing the door.

18. The hinge according to claim 17 , wherein said fixed body is made of two half-shells, which house a pair of casings, between which the various components of the hinge are arranged.

19. The hinge according to claim 16 , wherein said fixed body is made of two half-shells, which house a pair of casings, between which the various components of the hinge are arranged.
