ABSTRACT:
The hinge comprises a pair of hinge members pivotally connected by a hinge pin. One hinge member, while made of relatively flexible plastic, is made dimensionally rigid between spaced fasteners by virtue of its attachment to one cabinet member. A flexible strap integrally formed on the one hinge member is engaged by a cam part of the companion hinge member to generate a substantial turning torque between the members as a function of angular movement, the turning torque reaching a maximum and changing directions just before a limit of relative angular movement is achieved whereby a self-closing or self-latching results.
