A hinge (1) for connecting a door to a household appliance compartment is described, comprising a fastening bracket (2) suitable for being fastened to the compartment of said household appliance, a movable support (3) to rotatably constrain said door to said fastening bracket (2), an activating arm (5) coupled to said fastening bracket (2), movement means (6) suitable for moving said activating arm (5), said activating arm (5) comprising a first end portion (5a) suitable for being constrained to said door, and a second end portion (5b) suitable for being coupled to said movement means (6) to move said activating arm (5) between an open position (P2) and a closed position (P1) of the door, said movement means (6) comprising an electric motor (10) and reversible connecting means (9) to couple and decouple selectively said electric motor (10) to/from said second end portion (5b), said hinge (1) being configured so that when said electric motor (10) is coupled to said second end portion (5b), the electric motor (10) causes the movement of the activating arm (5), while when said electric motor (10) is decoupled from said second end portion (5b), the movement of the first end portion (5a) occurs independently of the electric motor (10) to allow a user to freely move the door.
Abstract:
A hinge for a closing door of a compartment, of the type comprising a first (1) and a second body (2), respectively integral to said door and to the frame of the corresponding compartment, or vice versa, and mutually hinged by at least one pin (3), first elastic means (4) mounted on said second body (2) and acting upon said first body (1 ), and at least one dampening device (5) fixed to the second body (2), acting upon the first body (1) and actuated by at least a first slider (6), functionally connected to the dampener (5), and by at least a second slider (7), configured for engaging, directly or indirectly, the aforesaid first body (1) in correspondence of at least a certain angular range assumed by said first body (1) with respect to said second body (2) during their relative rotation, whereby said second slider (7) is actuated in translation by the first body (1 ) when engaged therewith, as well as constraining means between the first slider and the second slider. Advantagiously, the aforesaid constraining means comprise at least a lever (8) pivoted to the second body (2), and the aforesaid first and second slider (6, 7) are constrained at least in rotation to said at least one lever (8).
Abstract:
A removable door hinge for domestic appliances such as furniture units, ovens or the like formed by a part (1) capable of being attached to the unit and a part (2) capable of being attached to the door, connected to one another by a fixed arm (3) carrying hinge pin (7) of moving part (2) and by a moving arm (8) hinged by pin (9) to the said door, to such fixed arm (3) there being secured a lever (14) provided with a crosspiece (16) capable of rotating toward fixed part (1), in which the upper side of fixed arm (3) and the lower side of moving arm (8) are shaped in such a way as to determine between them and with the inner side of moving part (2) of the hinge a gap (18) having dimensions greater than the thickness of one or two human fingers so as not to pose a risk to the user when the latter inserts one or more fingers into such gap during the operations of opening, closure or removal of the door.
Abstract:
Hinge for a door which covers at least in part a compartment, of the type comprising a fixed support for coupling to a compartment frame, and a mobile support for coupling to a door, wherein such mobile and fixed support are at least rotatably constrained one to the other. The hinge also comprises a coil spring operatively interposed between the fixed support and the mobile support to impose a predefined law of motion to the mobile support with respect to the fixed support, and an actuator for applying a push or a pull force onto said mobile support with respect to the fixed one.
Abstract:
Hinge for connecting doors (1b) to ovens (1,1a) and the like, which comprises a fixed arm (11) engageable with the body of the oven, a movable part (21) which is hinged on said fixed arm (11) and on which one end (23b) of a movable arm (23) is pivotably mounted, there being provided means (15) for fastening the movable arm (23) to the fixed arm (11), said fixed arm (11) having a cross-section in the form of an overturned "U", between the walls of which there is arranged an idle roller (25), and said movable arm (23) being arranged inside said fixed arm.
Abstract:
Hinge with a movable axis of rotation, in particular for the panel-lined doors of built-in dish washing machines, comprising a fixed plate (1) attached to the dish washer and an arm (9) attached to the door thereof and rotating about a movable pin (7) attached to the free end (5b) of a first lever (5), the other end (5a) of which is hinged on a fixed pin (3) attached to the plate (1), there also being provided a second lever (6), the opposite ends of which are hinged, respectively, on a pin (8) attached to the arm (9) and on a fixed pin (4) attached to the plate (1), said combination being designed to make the pin (7) and hence the arm (9) carrying the dish-washer door follow a curved trajectory.
