Hinge with damped closing

A hinge with damped closing, comprising

• a first four-bar linkage, which comprises a coupling element which is configured to be associated with a fixed element, a first portion of a first lever and a third lever which are associated in an articulated manner with said coupling element and a first portion of a second lever that is interposed between the preceding ones and is articulated thereto,
• a second four-bar linkage, which comprises a fixing element which is configured to be associated with an element which can move with respect to said fixed element, a second portion of said second lever and a fourth lever which are associated in an articulated manner with said fixing element and a second portion of said first lever that is interposed between the second lever and the fourth lever and is articulated thereto,
• the hinge being adapted to assume alternately an open configuration and a closed configuration, in which said coupling element and said fixing element have different relative positions, said levers rotating about respective articulation pivots which are substantially horizontal in use during a movement between open and closed configurations,
• the hinge being further provided with at least one damping element which acts for at least one portion of the transition from the open configuration to the closed configuration and is provided with a first end and with a second end which can move alternately toward and away from each other between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration, wherein said at least one damping element has said first end associated in an articulated manner with at least one lever of said first four-bar linkage and said second end associated in an articulated manner with at least one lever of said second four-bar linkage.
