Abstract:
A hinge device for rotatably moving a closing element includes a fixed element anchorable to a stationary support structure coupled to a movable element anchorable to the closing element for rotating around a first longitudinal axis between an open position and a closed position. The device further includes at least one slider movable along a second axis between a compressed and an extended position. One between the movable element and the fixed element includes at least one operating chamber defining the second axis so as to slidably house the slider, the other element including a pivot defining the first axis. The pivot and the slider are reciprocally coupled so that to the rotation of the movable element around the first axis corresponds the sliding of the slider along the second axis and vice versa.
Abstract:
An American damper concealed hinge comprises a first base, a second base, a hinging rotation arm, one end of the hinging rotation arm being hinged to the first base, the other end of the hinging rotation arm being hinged to the second base, the first base being provided with a cavity; wherein the cavity is internally provided with a damper device that is drivable by the hinging rotation arm, left and right sides of the damper device being respectively provided with a first baffle and a second baffle, a first torsion spring being disposed between the first baffle and a left side wall of the first base, a second torsion spring being disposed between the second baffle and a right side wall of the first base, a first extending leg of the first torsion spring and a first extending leg of the second torsion spring being respectively pressed onto the hinging rotation arm, and a second extending leg of the first torsion spring and a second extending leg of the second torsion spring being respectively pressed onto the first base.
Abstract:
A hinge includes a hinge arm, a hinge cup, a spring, a retainer, a damper, and an adjusting member. When the hinge cup, which is pivotally connected to the hinge arm, is being closed relative thereto, the spring provides a resilient closing force to complete the closing action. The retainer is mounted in the hinge cup and has a channel. The damper is mounted in the channel and corresponds to the hinge arm to provide a damping force adjustable via the adjusting member, which is movably mounted to the retainer, includes a surface and at least two contact portions differently spaced from the surface, and can be adjusted relative to the retainer so that one of the contact portions corresponds to the damper.
Abstract:
A snap hinge with damped closure is provided, including a first articulated quadrilateral and a second articulated quadrilateral which share a first lever and a second lever and are provided respectively with a plate for coupling to a first element and with a plate for fixing to a second element. The hinge is movable alternately between an open configuration and a closed configuration, in which the plates have different arrangements with respect to each other. At least one damping element is interposed at least between the first quadrilateral and the coupling plate or between the second quadrilateral and the fixing plate for damped transition from the open configuration to the closed configuration or vice versa.
Abstract:
An opening/closing assist device includes a cam fixed to a first member, which is one of an opening/closing body and a coupling subject of the opening/closing body, a contact element located on a second member, which is the other one of the opening/closing body and the coupling subject, and a damper stay. The damper stay includes a first end rotatably connected to the first member and a second end rotatably connected to the contact element. The contact element is maintained in the state of being pressed against the cam by means of the elastic force of the damper stay. The cam has a shape that is set so that a moment generated at the cam based on the elastic force applied by the contact element is generated so that a moment required to rotate the opening/closing body is in accordance with operation characteristics required for the opening/closing body.
Abstract:
A hinge apparatus has a first attachment member to be attached to a housing, a second attachment member to be attached to a door; and first and second links, respective basal end portions of the first and the second links rotatably attached to the first attachment member, respective distal end portions of the first and the second links rotatably attached to the second attachment member. The first attachment member, the second attachment member, the first link and the second link constitute a link mechanism. The first attachment member has a base member to be attached to the housing, and a connecting member removably attached to the base member. The basal end portions of the first and the second links are rotatably attached to the connecting member. The connecting member, the second attachment member, the first link and the second link constitute a link mechanism.

Abstract:
A hinge assembly is provided for pivotably attaching a door to a domestic appliance. The hinge assembly includes a hinge body having two mounting areas; a damper; a foot pivotably attached to the damper, the foot being configured to engage a foot receiving portion of the appliance body such that the hinge body and the door pivot relative to the appliance body; and a first mounting spacer attached to the hinge body at a first one of the mounting areas, the first mounting spacer being configured to attach to the door such that the hinge body is fixed relative to the door. Each of the two mounting areas is configured to receive a first fastener to attach the first mounting spacer to the hinge body, and each of the two mounting areas is configured to receive a second fastener to attach the door to the hinge body.
Abstract:
A furniture hinge includes at least one control cam and at least one spring. The control cam moves along on the spring in order to produce a closing force and/or opening force. A sliding element is attached to the spring and/or to the control cam. The control cam or the spring moves along on the sliding element.
Abstract:
A hinge includes a hinge body having an operating chamber defining a first longitudinal axis; a pivot rotatably coupled to the hinge body to rotate a closing element around a second longitudinal axis between an open and a closed position; a plunger member having a substantially cylindrical body housed in the operating chamber for the separation thereof into a first and a second variable volume receptacles fluidically connected each other; a working fluid within the operating chamber o hydraulically damp the action of the plunger member; valve means to selectively control the flow of the working fluid between the first and the second receptacle; a shaft for operatively coupling the plunger member and the pivot. The cylindrical body and the shaft are mutually fastened by a fastening element. The shaft includes a first enlarged portion. The cylindrical body is put into fluidic communication the first and second receptacles.
