Low-bulkiness hinge

A low-bulkiness hinge for closing a door anchored to a stationary support structure, one of the door or the stationary support structure defining a first plane, the low-bulkiness hinge comprising:

• a plate-shaped hinge body defining a second plane, the hinge body being anchorable to the one of the door or the stationary support structure so that the first plane and the second plane are coincident or parallel to each other, the hinge body including an inner surface;
• and
• a pivot defining a first longitudinal axis parallel to the second plane or lying thereon, the pivot being anchorable to the other one of the door or the stationary support structure, the pivot and the hinge body being reciprocally coupled so as to rotate around the first axis between an opening position and a closing position,
• wherein the hinge body includes a lateral opening and a closing element for closing the lateral opening, the inner surface of the hinge body and the closing element reciprocally cooperating to define a working chamber extending along a second longitudinal axis perpendicular to the first axis,
• wherein the working chamber includes a front wall, a bottom wall and a slider sliding along the second axis between a position distal from the bottom wall and a position proximal thereto, the working chamber further including a first pair of guiding facing walls and a second pair of guiding facing walls interacting or in reciprocal contact with the slider, the hinge body comprising the first pair of guiding facing walls, the closing element comprising at least one of the guiding facing walls of the second pair, and
• wherein the pivot further includes a cam element integrally rotatable therewith, the slider comprising an operative face interacting with the cam element so as upon the opening or the closing of the door a rotation of the pivot around the first axis corresponds to the sliding of the slider along the second axis from the distal to the proximal position, the working chamber further comprising an elastic member interposed between the bottom wall of the working chamber and the slider to act on the slider so as to move the slider from the proximal to the distal position.
