The invention relates to a furniture hinge (10) with a hinge arm (20) and a fastening portion (30), wherein the hinge arm (20) and the fastening portion (30) are pivotably connected to one another via a multi-axis articulated connection (40), and wherein a damping element (60), which damps in a deflection direction, for damping the movement of the hinge arm (20) and a spring (76) for adjusting the hinge arm (20) with respect to the fastening portion (30) are provided. It is provided here that the damping element (60) is mounted in such a way that, during a folding movement of the hinge arm (20) from a first end position into a second end position, a maximum or a minimum deflection of the damping element (60) is carried out within an adjusting movement of the damping element (60) caused by said folding movement. As a result, a furniture hinge which can be produced cost-effectively and which allows damped opening and closing of the hinge arm is provided.

An adjustable snap-acting hinge is provided. The hinge includes a first articulated quadrilateral and a second articulated quadrilateral, which can move on a working plane and share a first lever and a second lever and are provided respectively with a plate for coupling to a first element and with a plate for fixing to a second element. A contrast element is associated with the coupling plate and can be arranged in at least one position for use, which lies between a first position in which the contrast element is arranged at a maximum distance from the point of the first lever, and a second position in which the contrast element is arranged at a minimum distance from the point of the first lever. The hinge also includes locking means for keeping the contrast element in the position for use.

A furniture hinge for pivotally connecting at least two furniture parts to one another, including: at least two fastening portions which are pivotally connected to one another for fastening to the furniture parts, wherein the fastening portions can be moved relative to each other between a closed position and an open position, a spring device for pressing the fastening portions into the closed position and/or into the open position, a damping device for dampening a relative movement of the fastening portions, wherein the spring device is integrated into the damping device, wherein the damping device and the spring device are accommodated within a first and within a second housing portion, wherein the first and second housing portions, for performing the relative movement, are displaceably arranged relative to one another.

The invention relates to a multi-link hinge for furniture, with a fastening element which can be secured indirectly or directly to a furniture body and is connected to a pivotable door bearing via a plurality of link levers connected to one another in a scissors-like manner, wherein a linear damper which damps both a closing movement and an opening movement of the door bearing is provided. The multi-link hinge is distinguished in that the linear damper is ineffective in a central portion of the pivoting range of the door bearing.

A multi-joint link hinge includes a hinge bracket, a plurality of links axially coupled to the hinge bracket, and a door bracket coupled to the plurality of links. The hinge bracket includes a base portion that defines a plurality of screw coupling holes at a vertical surface thereof, a plurality of side portions that extend from the base portion in a horizontal direction and are spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, and a side surface portion that extends from the base portion in the vertical direction and defines a fixing groove. The plurality of links are coupled between the plurality of side portions along an axis that extends in the vertical direction. The multi-joint link hinge is used for a home appliance including refrigerators.

Disclosed is an electronic device in which a multi joint hinge, which couples a door of the electronic device, is applied. The electronic device includes a main body having a storage space therein, a door configured to open and close the storage space, and a hinge coupled to the door and the main body in order to rotate the door with respect to the main body. The hinge includes a first bracket supported by the main body, a second bracket supported by the door, a link rotatably coupled between the first bracket and the second bracket, a resilient member provided on the link and having an elasticity; a cam provided on the second bracket and formed in a shape to contact with the resilient member, so that according to a rotation direction of the door, the elasticity of the resilient member acts as an opening force or a closing force of the door, and a cam stopper integrally formed with the second bracket to prevent the cam from being moved by the elasticity of the resilient member.

A poly axial hinge comprising a mounting plate, a first arm pivotally coupled to a panel mounting element, a second arm pivotally coupled in an scissoring manner with the first arm by a main pivot, and a third arm pivotally coupled to the second arm at a location part way between a first end of said second arm and the main pivot. The mounting plate includes at least one rigidly fixed first gear, and the third arm includes gear teeth directly or indirectly coupled together with the fixed gear, such that rotation of the second arm with respect to said mounting plate causes rotation of the first arm with respect to the second arm, thereby driving the poly axle hinge open and/or closed.

An actuating drive for moving a flap of an item of furniture, including: an actuating arm pivotally mounted about a pivoting axis for moving the flap, a spring device for applying a force onto the actuating arm, a transmission mechanism for transmitting a force of the spring device onto the actuating arm in a closing direction and for transmitting a force of the spring device onto the actuating arm, and an adjusting device for adjusting a position of an actuating portion of the actuating drive in or along a guide. The actuating drive includes a coupling device coupling the spring device, the pivoting axis of the actuating arm, and the actuating portion to one another. By adjusting the actuating portion in or along the guide, the position of the dead-center of the actuating arm and the force of the spring device acting towards the opening direction can be variably adjusted.
