Abstract
A hinge includes a hinge arm, a hinge cup, at least one resilient member, and a retaining member. The hinge cup is pivotally connected with respect to the hinge arm and includes a receiving room. The resilient member is mounted in the receiving room of the hinge cup. The retaining member is mounted at the resilient member.
Claims18
A hinge, comprising:
- a hinge arm;
- a hinge cup pivotally connected with respect to the hinge arm and including a receiving room;
- at least one resilient member mounted in the receiving room of the hinge cup;
- a retaining member engaged with the resilient member through an engaging featured, the retaining member including a channel;
- and
- a damper mounted in the channel of the retaining member and corresponding to the hinge arm.
A hinge applicable to a cabinet, wherein the cabinet includes a first component and a second component, and the second component is openable and closeable with respect to the first component, the hinge comprising:
- a hinge mounting member mountable at the first component;
- a hinge cup;
- a hinge arm connected between the hinge mounting member and the hinge cup, wherein the hinge cup is mountable at the second component of the cabinet, is pivotally connected with respect to the hinge arm, and includes a receiving room;
- at least one resilient member mounted in the receiving room of the hinge cup;
- a retaining member engaged with the resilient member through an engaging feature, the retaining member including a channel;
- a damper, the damper being mounted in the channel of the retaining member and corresponding to the hinge arm, wherein the damper includes a piston rod;
- and
- an adjusting member, wherein the adjusting member is movably mounted at the retaining member and includes a surface, a first contact portion, and a second contact portion, the first contact portion being spaced from the surface by a first distance, the second contact portion being spaced from the surface by a second distance, and the first distance being greater than the second distance;
- wherein when the adjusting member is at a first position with respect to the retaining member, the first contact portion of the adjusting member corresponds to the piston rod of the damper such that, when the hinge cup is being closed with respect to the hinge arm and thereby drives the hinge arm to push and displace the damper, the piston rod of the damper is pressed against the first contact portion of the adjusting member to produce a first damping effect;
- and
- wherein when the adjusting member is at a second position with respect to the retaining member, the second contact portion of the adjusting member corresponds to the piston rod of the damper such that, when the hinge cup is being closed with respect to the hinge arm and thereby drives the hinge arm to push and displace the damper, the piston rod of the damper is pressed against the second contact portion of the adjusting member to produce a second damping effect.
A hinge, comprising:
- a hinge cup including a receiving room;
- a hinge arm pivotally connected with respect to the hinge cup;
- at least one resilient member mounted at the hinge cup;
- a retaining member mounted at the resilient member to shield at least a portion of the receiving room of the hinge cup, the retaining member including a channel;
- and
- a damper mounted in the channel of the retaining member and corresponding to the hinge arm.
