Abstract
A hinge for doors of domestic appliances, comprising a first element and a second element pivoted to each other and movable relative to each other in tilting fashion, the first and second elements being fixable one to a frame and the other to a door of an electrical household appliance, for making the door movable with respect to the frame between a dosed position and an open position, a lever for connection between the first and the second closing elements, an elastic element connected to the lever and designed to generate with its own deformation a force of elastic adjustment designed to compensate at least partially the weight force of the door during the opening or closing of the door, means for adjusting the intensity of the elastic reaction force.
Claims11
A hinge for doors of electrical household appliances, comprising:
- a first element and a second element pivoted to each other and movable relative to each other in tilting fashion, said first and second elements being fixable one to a frame and the other to a door of an appliance, to make the door movable with respect to the frame between a dosed position and an open position,
- a connecting lever between said first and second elements,
- an elastic element connected to said connecting lever and capable of generating, by means of its own deformation, an elastic reaction force to compensate at least partially the weight force of the door during its opening or dosing,
- adjusting means for adjusting the intensity of said elastic reaction force, characterized in that said adjusting means comprise a cylindrical cam device designed to assume a plurality of different configurations in correspondence of which said elastic element assumes as many different deformed configurations.
