AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This makes it impossible to obtain a minimum volume of the chamber close to zero, with the result that a relatively low maximum pressure value in the shock absorber does not result in a high damping force between the hinge parts when closing

Embodiment Construction

[0020] Referring to the drawings, there is shown a hinge 11 designed to rotatably connect two furniture elements, such as a swing leaf door on a wardrobe or cabinet frame.

[0021] The hinge 11 comprises two parts 12 and 13 rotatably engaged with each other, each of which is adapted to be fastened to one of the two furniture elements.

[0022] In the embodiment of Fig. 1, part 12 is made in the form of a tab for fastening on a furniture frame (not shown), while part 13 is formed by a tab adapted to be fastened on a furniture door (not shown). The bowl-shaped element in the cavity is formed. The fins 12 and the bowl-shaped element 13 are rotatably connected to each other by means of an articulated pivot system 14 made according to techniques known in the art. Both the fins 12 and the bowl-shaped element 13 are made of ferromagnetic material.

[0023] Inside the flap 12 is arranged a known spring system which enables the door to close automatically when the door is opened in t...

Abstract

A hinge for furniture comprises a first part (13, 112) to be fastened to a first furniture element and a second part (12, 113) to be fastened to a second furniture element, said first and second hinge parts being rotatably in engagement with each other, a shock absorber (15, 115) being present which comprises a body (16, 116) fastened to the first hinge part and a shock absorbing member (18, 118) movably mounted on said body (16, 116), the shock absorbing member being adapted to restrain movement of the second hinge part in a closing step of the hinge. Said shock absorbing member (18, 118) and second hinge part (12, 113) having portions magnetically attracting each other to carry out dragging along of the shock absorbing member (18, 118) relative to the body (16, 116) during a reopening step of the hinge, bringing said member (18) back to position for subsequent cushioning of the closing movement of the hinge.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an innovative cushionable hinge for furniture, and a shock absorber for the hinge. Background technique [0002] The use of shock absorbers for furniture hinges is known in the state of the art, for example such hinges comprising a tab fastened to the furniture frame and a bowl-shaped element anchored in a cavity on the furniture door. [0003] Equipped in this way, the shock absorber is able to act between the flap and the bowl element during the final stages of the hinge's closing movement, thus preventing the door from slamming against the furniture frame. [0004] According to the prior art, hydraulic shock absorbers can be used. While this solution achieves good cushioning or shock absorption, it involves complex and relatively expensive parts to manufacture. [0005] Pneumatic shock absorbers have been proposed as an alternative to hydraulic shock absorbers, comprising a cylindrical chamber in which a plunger wi...
