Abstract
A hinge wing includes a cup intended for being fixed in a hole of a furniture component. The wing is provided with a pair of expandable teeth arranged on opposite sides of the cup. The teeth are fixed on an eccentric lever of the wing, by rotating which the teeth are moved in an opposite direction to the direction of insertion of the cup into the respective receiving hole. The wing includes for each tooth a cam that, upon rotation of the eccentric lever, causes the respective tooth to expand against a side wall of the receiving hole of the cup to fix the cup to the furniture component. Each cam is formed with a cam element of yieldable material interposed between a side wall of the cup and the respective tooth.

Hinge wing comprising
- a cup for fixing in a receiving hole of a furniture component,
- a pair of expandable teeth arranged outside of the cup on opposite sides of the cup and movable in a direction parallel to a direction of insertion of the cup into the receiving hole of the furniture component,
- an eccentric lever rotatable relative to the cup between a position suitable for insertion of the cup into the receiving hole and a position suitable for fixing the cup in the receiving hole and said eccentric lever being hinged to the teeth so that, upon a rotation of the eccentric lever relative to the cup from the position suitable for insertion of the cup into the receiving hole to the position suitable for fixing the cup in the receiving hole, the teeth undergo a movement in a direction opposite to the direction of insertion of the cup into the receiving hole from a rest position suitable for insertion of the cup into the receiving hole to an operative position suitable for fixing the cup in the receiving hole;
- and
- a cam for each tooth that, upon said movement of the respective tooth caused by said rotation of the eccentric lever, causes the tooth to expand away from the cup towards a side wall of the receiving hole to fix the cup to the furniture component, and
- each cam being formed with a cam element of yieldable material interposed between a side wall of the cup and the respective tooth.
