Disclosed is a soft-close device for a compact hinge comprising a housing removably fitted to the compact hinge and a plunger slidingly engaged with the housing. The housing includes a cavity sized and shaped to receive the plunger. The plunger includes a collar that when the plunger is rotated will engage a slot in the housing to deactivate the soft close functionality of the device. In an alternate embodiment, a tab slides around the exterior of the collar to engage the slot. In another alternate embodiment, the plunger includes a detent that engages a catch formed in the housing. The catch extends from a flexible arm of the housing that can be elastically deformed to deactivate and reactivate the soft-close functionality.

A hinge comprises a hinge part, which can be secured on a door of the shutter and is mounted on a side part such that it can be pivoted via a carrying lever and a guide lever, also comprises at least one spring, by means of which the hinge part, in a self-retracting region of the hinge, is prestressed into a closed position, and further comprises a linear damper with a piston rod, which can be moved relative to a damper housing and is intended for damping a closing and/or opening movement of the hinge part, wherein a deflecting element is provided, said deflecting element being mounted on the side part such that it can be rotated about an axis and being arranged between the damper and the guide lever so that, during a closing movement of the hinge part, it moves the damper in order to generate a damping force, wherein, during an opening movement of the hinge part, the deflecting element moves the damper in order to generate a damping force before the fully open position of the hinge part has been reached. This makes it possible to avoid hard impact of a door in the opening direction.

A hinge for a furniture door includes a first hinge part is formed with a cassette-shaped housing for integration into a furniture panel, and a second hinge part is designed in the form of a hinge pot to be attached to the furniture door. The two hinge parts are pivotably connected to one another via a lever mechanism. The housing of the first hinge part is widened in a front region, in which an opening for the lever mechanism is situated, in relation to a rear region. In a closed position of the hinge, at least part of the lever mechanism occupies a space in the front widened region.

A hinge device includes a first hinge body 10, a second hinge body 20 and a link mechanism 6. The link mechanism includes a moving link 30 having a rear end rotatably connected to the first hinge body and a front end rotatably connected to the second hinge body, a front connecting link 50 having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to a front end portion of the first hinge body and an intermediate portion rotatably connected to an intermediate portion of the moving link, and a supporting link having one end rotatably connected to a distal end of the front connecting link and the other end rotatably connected to the second hinge body. The front connecting link has a pair of resin spacers 57 interposed between the pair of side walls 11 of the first hinge body 10 and the pair of side walls 31 of the moving link.

A damper includes a damper housing, a fluid chamber in the damper housing, a damping fluid in the fluid chamber, a piston displaceable in the fluid chamber, a piston rod connected to the piston, and a volume compensating device in the damper housing. The volume compensating device compensates for a displaceable volume of the damping fluid when the piston rod is immersed into the fluid chamber, and includes a seal to seal the fluid chamber relative to the piston rod and/or relative to an inner wall of the damper housing, a support element to guide the seal, a spring element to reset the seal after a damping stroke at least partially into an initial position. The spring element, the seal, and/or the support element form a common compensating member having an integral one-piece configuration. The compensating member is configured to bear loosely against a cover for closing the damper housing.

A hinge assembly includes a mounting body to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a furniture hinge having two fitting portions connected to one another via at least one hinge axis, and a locking device for locking one of the fitting portions of the furniture hinge to the mounting body. The locking device includes at least one holding portion having an outer contour, and a locking contour corresponding thereto. The locking contour includes at least one stationary first member and at least one second member configured to be moved, preferably pivotally, relative to the first member. The at least one holding portion is received between the two members of the locking contour in a locked position.

The invention relates to a furniture hinge comprising a stop element and a hinge cup which is pivotally connected to said stop element by means of an articulated lever, a damper being arranged in a housing, said housing being connected to the hinge cup by means of securing means, and a spring being functionally connected to the hinge cup and the stop element or the articulated lever. According to the invention, the housing comprises a spring seat by means of which said spring is secured to the housing. This achieves a damped, compact furniture hinge which has a spring to support at least the closing action, and which is easy to mount.

The invention relates to a furniture hinge comprising a stop element and a hinge cup that is pivotally connected to said stop element by means of an articulated lever, a damper being arranged in a housing and this housing being connected to said hinge cup by means of securing elements. The hinge cup comprises a centring region and a mounting region that has a cup depth less than that of the centring region and, in said mounting region, the housing with the damper is secured to the hinge cup from the outside. This achieves a damped furniture hinge which can be cleaned easily and can be installed quickly on a furniture part.

A hinge assembly in the form of a toggle type hinge includes an arm assembly (11) anchorable in use to a first member and a cup flange (13) pivotally connected thereto and anchorable in use to a second member. The assembly includes a linear damping device (15) and a mechanism for converting pivotal movement of the hinge into actuation of the damping device, at least over part of the range of this pivotal movement. The movement converting mechanism is arranged to produce the actuation of the damping device (15) through rotational movement about its linear axis via transmission of at least two equal and opposite forces acting symmetrically about this axis.

A hinge for pieces of furniture with deceleration device, comprising a fixed part which is adapted to be connected to the body of a piece of furniture, a moveable part which is adapted to be connected to a leaf of the piece of furniture, the fixed part and the movable part being mutually articulated by way of at least one connecting oscillating rocker, a decelerator being further provided; the decelerator comprises elements for at least partial deactivation of deceleration, which are adapted to uncouple the rocker from the decelerator.
