ABSTRACT:
A furniture hinge has a first hinge arm and a second hinge arm which are interconnected by inner and outer pivot levers. The inner pivot lever carries a control cam within the first hinge arm for cooperating with an internal coil spring so that the hinge can snap between open and closed positions. A transverse pin within the first hinge arm transmits force between the spring and the control cam. The pin is carried in elongate slots which are inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the coil spring. In the closed position of the hinge, the pin engages a snapping section of the control cam and in the open position of the hinge the pin engages a radiused sliding section of the cam.
