ABSTRACT:
Over-center hinge for thin-walled doors of cabinets, especially of bathroom mirrored cabinets, having a shallow, door-related hinge part which is articulately joined to a supporting arm fastenable to the supporting walls of the cabinet, and which can be fastened, preferably by cementing, in a matching recess provided on the inner side of the door. A molded piece (36) is removably fastened to the door-related hinge part (12) and bears a tongue (34) which, upon the hinge's closing movement, extends into the path of an engaging surface (pivot eye 15) provided on the supporting arm (18) and can be displaced resiliently against a spring force by this engaging surface, and on which the engaging surface slips during a part of the closing movement beyond a dead-center position on one side of which the tongue (34) exerts on the supporting arm (18) a force in the hinge-opening direction and on the other side of which it exerts thereon a force acting in the hinge closing direction.
