Abstract

The invention relates to a furniture hinge with a fastening portion and a hinge part connected thereto via a multi-axis articulated connection, wherein a spring preloads the hinge part directly or indirectly, at least in a subregion of the adjustment path of the hinge part, with respect to the fastening portion, and wherein the spring is mounted or can be mounted under tension between two spring bearings. In order, in such a furniture hinge, to achieve improved movement control and to make the required manual force for hinge opening or closing more even, provision is made according to the invention for the spring (76) to be adjusted in the region of its two spring bearings (74, 84.4) during the adjustment of the hinge part (20) from the opening into the closing position and/or during the adjustment from the closing into the opening position.

Dependent claims

A furniture hinge (10) having a fastening portion (30), and a hinge part (20) that is pivotably connected to the fastening portion (30) by way of a multiple-axle articulation connection (40),

wherein a spring (76) indirectly or directly biases the hinge part (20) in relation to the fastening portion (30) in a readjustment path of the hinge part (20) from an opening to a closing position and/or from the closing to the opening position of the hinge part (20),
wherein the spring (76) is tensioned or tensionable between a first spring bearing and a second spring bearing (74, 84.4), the first spring bearing (74) in connection with the hinge part (20) and the second spring bearing (84.4) in connection with the fastening portion (30),
wherein
the spring (76) during movement of the hinge part (20) from the opening to the closing position and/or during movement of the hinge part (20) from the closing to the opening position, is readjusted at the two spring bearings (74, 84.4) wherein at least one of the two spring bearings (74. 81,4) is readjustable in a linear manner by a linear guide (34), or is pivotably readjustable about an axle, or is readjustable on an arcuate guiding path by means of a guide.
