Abstract
A hinge, particularly for movable pieces of furniture, has at least two stop parts connected in an articulated manner (which is to say a hinge arm and a hinge cup) for fastening to pieces of furniture. The hinge has a damping device for damping the hinge movement, and has a restoring mechanism, by which an actuating element of the damping device can be moved into a starting position for the next damping stroke after damping has taken place. The damping device and the restoring mechanism are disposed as separate components on the hinge cup. The damping device, which has no restoring mechanism, is disposed on a lateral wall of the hinge cup, and the restoring mechanism is disposed on an opposing lateral wall of the hinge cup.
Claims17
A hinge for movable furniture portions, comprising:
- at least two hingedly connected fitment portions to be fixed to furniture portions movable relative to each other, said at least two hingedly connected fitment portions including a hinge arm and a hinge cup;
- a damping device for damping a hinge movement, said damping device being located on a first side wall of said hinge cup;
- a return mechanism configured as a component separate from said damping device and arranged on a second side wall of said hinge cup opposite said first side wall, said damping device not having a second return mechanism incorporated therein;
- and
- an actuating mechanism including an actuating element linked to said damping device and said return mechanism and configured to move during relative movement of said at least two fitment portions so as to be moved into a ready position for a subsequent damping stroke after damping has occurred.
