Abstract
A furniture hinge with equipment includes a toggle-type hinge and a shock absorber. The latter is either a rotary (a first approach) or a line (a second approach) shock absorber. Irrespective of the approach, the shock absorber is arranged transversely to a major longitudinal axis of the toggle-type hinge and bound to a hinge pot.

A furniture hinge with equipment comprising
- a toggle-type hinge and a rotary shock absorber,
- the toggle-type hinge having a hinge arm with a longitudinal axis being supported by a furniture side panel and a hinge pot supported by a furniture wing,
- the toggle-type hinge connecting the furniture side panel and the furniture wing to swing relative to each other and providing pivoting of the furniture wing around a pivoting axis,
- the rotary shock absorber being mounted onto the hinge pot by a holder and engaging the hinge arm to absorb shocks of the toggle-type hinge and the furniture wing respectively when the furniture wing is moved towards the furniture side panel,
- said rotary shock absorber being a line shock absorber composed of a housing, a piston rod, a pressure spring and a wing sleeve arranged transversely to a longitudinal axis of the toggle-type hinge so that the longitudinal axis of the toggle-type hinge is coincident with a longitudinal axis of the hinge arm, and perpendicular to the pivoting axis of the furniture wing, the wing sleeve including a sleeve and a wing, and the wing sleeve co-operating, when absorbing a shock of the furniture wine at closing a furniture unit, with a back surface of the hinge arm of the toggle-type hinge.
