CHECKS FOR WINGS; WING FITTINGS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, CONCERNED WITH THE FUNCTIONING OF THE WING ## Abstract A hinge used for furniture, including a movable cup seat, an adjustable cover plate, a hinging arm connected between the movable cup seat and the adjustable cover plate as well as torsion springs, wherein two torsion springs are respectively arranged on the notches on both sides of the movable cup seat; the torsion springs are provided with at least a first support leg linked to the protruded steps on both sides of the movable cup seat and a second support leg that extends into the movable cup seat capable of acting force on the hinging arm; the first support leg and/or the second support leg has a square-shaped section; the second support leg is provided with a torsion spring sleeve so that the second support leg is inserted into the corresponding sleeve holes. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A hinge used for furniture, comprising a movable cup seat fixed on the furniture door body, an adjustable cover plate fixed on the furniture main body, a hinging arm connected between the movable cup seat and the adjustable cover plate as well as torsion springs configured to generate opening force or closing force at least on the movable cup seat, wherein two torsion springs are respectively arranged on the notches on both sides of the movable cup seat, characterized in that the torsion springs are provided with at least a first support leg linked to the protruded steps on both sides of the movable cup seat and a second support leg that extends into the movable cup seat capable of acting force on the hinging arm; the first support leg and/or the second support leg has a square-shaped section; the second support leg is provided with a torsion spring sleeve so that the second support leg is inserted into the corresponding sleeve holes; the torsion spring sleeve has a square outline, the bottom of which relatively moves along the arc-shaped stressed portion on the two sides of the hinging arm under the force applied by the torsion spring, thus generating opening force or closing force. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The hinge used for furniture according to claim 1, wherein the second support leg has a straightly-arranged square section, the sleeve holes are arranged in a manner of penetrating the torsion spring sleeve along the length direction, the section of the sleeve holes is squarely arranged corresponding to the second support leg, and the second support leg is correspondingly inserted into the sleeve holes. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The hinge used for furniture according to claim 2, wherein one end of torsion spring sleeve near the main body of the torsion springs is provided with an arc-shaped surface matching the main body surface of the torsion springs. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The hinge used for furniture according to claim 3, wherein one side of the arc-shaped surface is extended along the length direction and is provided with a protruded point, and the protruded point is inserted into the main body of the torsion springs. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The hinge used for furniture according to claim 4, wherein the parts of the torsion spring sleeve configured to insert into the second support leg are thickened. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The hinge used for furniture according to claim 5, wherein the end portion of the first support leg is bent and is reversely buckled into the steps. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The hinge used for furniture according to claim 6, wherein the movable cup seat is internally provided with a slot position, one end portion of the hinging arm is inserted into the slot position and is hinged with the movable cup seat through axis pins, the second support leg is inserted into the slot position and is configured to act on the stressed portion after passing through the side wall of the notches. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The hinge used for furniture according to claim 7, wherein the slot position is internally provided with a damper, one side or two sides on the inner wall of the slot position is/are provided with a positioning buckle, the corresponding one side or two sides of the damper is/are protruded externally and buckled below the positioning buckle, the top of one end of the damper is leaned against the inner wall of the slot position and the top of other end of the damper is leaned against the hinging arm to buffer the opening force and closing force of the hinging arm. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The hinge used for furniture according to claim 8, wherein the two sides of the other end portion of the hinging arm are provided with slide sheets, the adjustable cover plate is provided with a slide slot, the slide sheets can be freely inserted into the slide slot in a sliding manner, the hinging arm is capable of sliding freely with respect to the adjustable cover plate, the hinging arm is further provided with a capsule-shaped regulating hole, and an eccentric screw passes through the regulating hole to be screwed on the adjustable cover plate. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The hinge used for furniture according claim 1, wherein the torsion spring sleeve is formed by integrated plastic injection, and the two torsion springs are coaxially arranged with each other.
