Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an invisible hinge for furniture doors and the like, and in particular to a hinge having a fixed portion or wing-shaped portion, which is configured to be inserted into a seat portion arranged in a thickness portion of a substantially horizontal wall of a furniture piece. Background Art

[0002] In the field of furniture, in order to support a furniture door in a swingable manner, a hinge is usually used, which includes a fixed part or wing and a movable part, the fixed part or wing can be connected to the furniture body, and the movable part includes a box-shaped body and can be connected to the door, the fixed part or wing, and the movable part are hinged to each other in a swinging manner by means of at least one rotation axis, and more preferably, the fixed part or wing, and the movable part are hinged to each other in a swinging manner by a hinge system including a hinge axis and a connecting rocker.

[0003] In order to move the door into the closed position and to keep it in the closed position, the hinge also comprises suitable elastic means for stressing the hinge itself in the closing direction.

[0004] Due to the presence of these elastic means, the door strikes against the body of the piece of furniture when it corresponds to the closed position, thus causing undesirable noises.

[0005] In order to overcome this problem, it has been proposed in various ways to employ a reduction device, for example of the linear or rotary type, associated with one of the parts of the hinge in order to damp the closing movement of the hinge itself.

[0006] In the context of the continuous development of furniture design, completely invisible hinges have been proposed, in which the fixing part has a flat shape to be inserted into a seat provided in the thickness of the upper or lower wall of the furniture piece, and in which the rocker is also flat and extends according to the plane in which the fixing part is located.

[0007] In order to decelerate this completely invisible hinge, for example, it has been proposed to provide a deceleration device mounted externally on an extension of the fixed part of the hinge, the deceleration device having an actuating part protruding on the front side of the cabinet, such as a tip end connected to a decelerator rod, so as to be directly operated by the movable part of the hinge; however, in addition to the greater obstruction to the fixed part of the hinge due to the presence of the external decelerator, this solution also has improper operation, because the movable part of the hinge only contacts the operating part of the decelerator in the last few degrees of the closing movement, and therefore this solution cannot effectively decelerate the closing movement of the door.

[0008] In order to overcome these problems, a different solution is proposed in WO 2016174071, in which a reduction device is arranged on the inner side of the fixed part of the hinge and is directly actuated by one of the two rockers, or is indirectly actuated by one of the two rockers via a transmission mechanism.

[0009] However, when heavy and / or bulky doors are installed, the hinges according to this known solution present some limitations as regards: in particular the closing force exerted by the elastic means, which may be insufficient to properly close the door; and / or any vertical looseness of the hinges, which mainly stems from the fact that the vertical adjustment means provided in these hinges tend to become unadjustable. Utility Model Content

[0010] The object of the invention is therefore to provide an invisible hinge for a furniture door or the like, having a fixing portion or wing shaped to be inserted into a seat provided in the thickness of a substantially horizontal wall of the furniture, the hinge retaining optimal functionality and stability even in the case of heavy and / or bulky doors.

[0011] According to a general embodiment, the above-mentioned purpose can be achieved by a hinge for a furniture door, which includes: a fixed part with a flat shape, which is suitable for being inserted into a seating part arranged in the thickness part of the upper wall or the lower wall of the furniture piece; and a movable part, which can be connected to the furniture door, the fixed part and the movable part are connected to each other in a swinging manner by means of a hinge system, the hinge system includes a plurality of hinge axes and at least a first connecting rocker and a second connecting rocker, the hinge includes an elastic closing device for closing the hinge, the elastic closing device is operatively connected to one of the rockers, and the hinge is connected to the furniture door. The elastic device includes a first coil spring, and the hinge also includes a deceleration device, which is suitable for decelerating at least a part of the closing movement of the hinge. The deceleration device is arranged on the inner side of the fixed part of the hinge, and the deceleration device can be directly actuated by at least one of the two rockers, or the deceleration device can be indirectly actuated by at least one of the two rockers through a transmission mechanism. It is characterized in that the elastic closing device includes an additional second coil spring, which is arranged coaxially with the first coil spring of the elastic closing device so that the second coil spring is operatively connected to one of the rockers.
