ABSTRACT:
An improved hinge assembly is provided that dampens the movement of a spring biased and notched hold open detent link pivoted to the door mounted hinge strap, thereby giving a smoother movement to that hinge strap, and consequently to the door. A molded dampening pad is fixed to the detent link with a surface adjacent to an edge of the detent link. A cam roller engageable with the detent link edge is pivoted on a stop pin fixed to the body mounted hinge strap. The stop pin has a cylindrical surface that is also adjacent to the detent link edge. As the cam roller rolls along the detent link and into the notches, the surface of the dampening pad engages the cylindrical surface of the stop pin to dampen the movement of the detent link.
