ABSTRACT:
Hinge for furniture doors, having a door-related hinge part in the form of a cup-like element for mounting in a recess in the door, in whose circumferential wall a sloping, separately manufactured knuckle subject to the effect of a compression spring is mounted for pivoting by a given angular mount and during at least a portion of the opening or closing movement slides on a bearing surface provided on the other hinge part at its extremity facing the joint and is movable past a dead-center position on this side of which it urges the door to the closed position and beyond which it exerts a pressure in the direction of opening, the bearing surface being situated adjacent the fulcrum of the knuckle when the latter is in the closed position. The knuckle terminates at its bottom end pivotally mounted in the cup-like element in a transversely disposed, relatively narrow edge and is inserted in an upwardly facing deepened fulcrum pocket. The upper end of the knuckle opposite the bearing end is defined approximately by an arc of a circle whose center coincides approximately with the fulcrum of the knuckle, while the knuckle is secured against escape from the fulcrum pocket by a wall portion of the cup-like element which closely overarches its upper end in every position within its given range of movement.
