The present invention relates to a furniture hinge that is suited for changing damping course of the furniture door in the closing direction. The inventive furniture hinge comprises; a housing; a hinge arm that is connected to the furniture door from the one end and connected to said housing in an axially rotatable manner from the other end by means of a first rotating pin; a power unit having at least one spring that creates force on said hinge arm, and that is connected between a lever arm that is capable of accommodating a power adjustment thereon and a third rotating pin in an axially rotatable manner; a movement arm that is connected to said hinge arm from one end in an axially rotatable manner, that is connected to said lever arm from the other end in an axially rotatable manner, and that enables the power transmission between said power unit and hinge arm; a damping element located on said lever arm for damping the furniture door that is being closed over the furniture body; and a damping adjustment on said lever arm for the purpose of changing the position of a cylinder belonging to the damping element with respect to the lever arm.

An appliance includes a hinge module between a main body and a pull-down door. The hinge module includes a housing, a rotational axis member disposed in the housing serving as a center of rotation between the pull-down door and the main body, an inner link housing movably disposed in the housing that moves with the opening of the pull-down door in a direction of the rotational axis member, and a damper installed in the inner link housing, the damper including a piston and a cylinder and providing damping force according to a relative movement of the piston and the cylinder. Any one of the piston and the cylinder of the damper moves with the inner link housing and the other of the piston and the cylinder of the damper moves by a predetermined distance as the inner link housing moves and then is interfered by the housing so as not to move further, and the piston and the cylinder of the damper starts damping, wherein the predetermined distance corresponds to an opening angle of the pull-down door in which the damping is started.

A multi-joint hinge has a mounting element which can be fixed to an appliance body and a hinge part which can be fixed to a door and which is held pivotably on the mounting element via a joint mechanism with a plurality of joint levers. The hinge part is biased in the closing direction via a spring and at least one linear damper with a damper housing and a piston rod displaceable relative to the damper housing is provided which brakes a closing movement of the hinge part. The linear damper is arranged with the damper housing in a rotationally fixed manner via a holding element within a lever and the holding element is fixed to a lever of the joint mechanism. The piston rod can be pushed into the damper housing via an actuating element which is arranged on a further lever of the joint mechanism.

A stabilizer comprises housing, a lever, and a plate spring. The lever has a shaft, a main body extending radially from the shaft, an elongated portion extending at an angle from the main body, and a cam portion extending from the shaft in a substantially opposite direction to the main body. A tip of the elongated portion extends outward through an opening in the housing. The plate spring has a plane portion fixed to the housing, and a curved portion pushed by the lever cam portion. When the stabilizer is attached to a fixed member (case). The lever tip portion extends from the opening of the housing and abuts to the surface of a slide member (holder). The lever tip exerts a constant load to the surface of the slide member, even if the distance between the fixed member and the slide member changes.
