A flap fitting for an item of furniture includes a housing which can be fixed to a body. A supporting arm is rotatably mounted on the housing. The flap fitting includes a pivotably mounted control arm. The supporting arm and the control arm can be hingedly connected to a flap at an attachment point via spaced-apart axes of rotation. A damper is provided at the attachment point and can be actuated via a movement of the supporting arm and/or the control arm in the event of an opening movement of the flap, before the maximum opening position is reached.

A hinge assembly has first and second parts pivotally connected together. One of the parts has a hinge cup (13) and is connectable to a first element such as a cupboard door. The other part is connectable to a second element such as the cupboard carcase. The assembly includes a linear damping device (17), which is actuable to provide a damped resistive force over at least part of the range of relative pivotal movement between the two hinge elements. The linear damping device (17) is conveniently mounted within the hinge cup (13).

A hinge has a side part fixable on a wall and a hinge part, which is pivotable in relation to the side part and is fixable on a door. Two levers are provided on the side part and the hinge part, which are each rotatably mounted on the side part and on the hinge part, and a linear damper having a housing and a piston rod is arranged in the side part.

The present invention relates to household articles, in particular to a flip-up support device and a furniture piece with the flip-up support device. The flip-up support device comprises a base (1), an upper connecting assembly and a lower connecting assembly hinged to the base, a flip-up support member hinged to the upper connecting assembly and the lower connecting assembly, a fixing mechanism rotatably connected to the flip-up support member and the upper connecting assembly, a cushion member connected to the lower connecting assembly, and an adjusting assembly for adjusting a cushion force of the cushion member. The cushion force of the cushion member acts on the fixing mechanism via the lower connecting assembly and the flip-up support member. The structure of the flip-up support device is simple and compact, the operation is stable, and the noise is low. The cushion force of the cushion member can be adjusted by the adjusting assembly according to the actual required cushion force, thereby meeting the user's needs and being convenient for the user to use.

Disclosed is a door hinge having a buffering function, including: a casing within which a damper is disposed in an axially movable manner, an end portion of a piston rod at the front end of the damper being fixedly connected to the casing; a hinge cup; a linking member A with a right end rotatably disposed inside the casing via a first rotating shaft and a left end rotatably connected to the hinge cup via a third rotating shaft; and a connecting member B with a right end rotatably disposed inside the casing via a second rotating shaft and a left end rotatably connected to the hinge cup via a fourth rotating shaft. The end portion at the right end of the linking member A or the connecting member B is disposed corresponding to the rear end of the damper.

A hinge for leaves of furniture that open downwardly, which comprises a fixed part which can be connected to a back wall or a horizontal wall of the piece of furniture, and a moveable part which can be connected to a leaf of the piece of furniture, the fixed part and the moveable part being mutually connected so as to allow oscillation by way of articulation means which comprise at least one oscillation axis so that they can move between a closed position and an open position, in which the leaf lies substantially on the same plane of arrangement as the back wall or horizontal wall of the piece of furniture, and articulated supporting levers.

A furniture board includes an integrated or inserted hinge for guiding a movable furniture part. The furniture board has two side faces, an end face, and an end-face recess for receiving a hinge. The hinge includes a basic element, a linear guide and a pivot guide hinged thereto. The linear guide has forcibly guided movable elements, to which the pivot guide is hinged at a distance from the basic element. Two side faces of the furniture board lie one in a first and one in a second plane. The linear guide and the hinged connection of the pivot guide to the linear guide lie between the first and the second plane, at least in a closed state of the hinge.

Disclosed is a cushioned hinge for doors of furniture items or the like. The hinge has a fixed part that can be attached to a side wall or shoulder of the item of furniture, a movable part that can be attached to a door of the item of furniture, and an articulated system that connects the fixed and movable parts of the hinge. The articulated system has a plurality of connecting rods and of axes of articulation. An elastic part or parts act in the direction of closure of the hinge. A linearly actuated deceleration mechanism slows down the last section of the stroke of closure of the hinge. The cushioned hinge leaves the edge of the door completely intact, so that the box remains hidden from view when the door is closed.

The invention refers to a furniture hinge (2) for fastening a furniture door (4) or flap of a piece of furniture (6) to a furniture body (8) of the piece of furniture (6) in an articulated manner. The furniture hinge (2) comprises a first hinge part (10) for attachment to the furniture door (4) or flap, and a second hinge part (12) for attachment to the furniture body (8), a hinge assembly (18; 18.1, 18.2) which movably connects the first hinge part (10) to the second hinge part (12) in order to realise an opening movement of the furniture hinge (2), in which the first hinge part (10) moves away from the second hinge part (12), and an oppositely directed closing movement of the furniture hinge (2), a damping element (22) for damping the opening movement and/or the closing movement of the furniture hinge (2) at least towards the end of the movement, the damping element (22) comprising a cylinder (24), a piston which is linearly movable in the cylinder (24) relative thereto, and a piston rod (26) which is coupled to the piston and projects from the cylinder (24), and a mounting piece (27; 27) which is attached to the furniture body (8) and to which the second hinge part (12) is attached. It is suggested that the cylinder (24) of the damping element (22) is fastened to one of the hinge parts (10; 12) or to a first component of the furniture hinge (2), which is rigidly connected to one of the hinge parts (10; 12) at least during the opening movement and/or closing movement of the furniture hinge (2), pivotably about a pivot axis (86).

A damper assembly is provided for a toggle type hinge with a mounting flange (13) and an arm assembly (11) pivotally connected thereto. The assembly comprises a damping device (16) that is actuable along a linear axis and a housing (20) mounted on the mounting flange to retain the damping device. The assembly further comprises means for converting pivotal movement of the hinge into linear actuation of the damping device. This comprises an actuating lever (21) connected to the damping device and engageable with the hinge arm assembly via a first camming mechanism causing the actuating lever to rotate in response to pivotal movement of the hinge arm assembly. A second camming mechanism causes linear displacement of the actuating lever in response to its rotational movement.
