Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1046774A1] A hinge comprising two components (10,11) formed by blanking and shaping metal plate elements which define, by means of their curled tabs (12-14), respective seats (15-17) crossed by a likewise metallic pivot (18) rigidly coupled to one of them and rotatable with respect to the other. The curled tab of the component that is rotatable is interrupted by a region (21) in which there is a bush (22) made of elastically deformable material which is rigidly coupled to the rotating component, is fitted with an interference fit on the pivot (18) and is adapted to induce compressions in a substantially radial direction in order to provide friction thereon. <IMAGE>

[origin: EP1046774A1] The hinge uses two components (10,11) formed by blanking and shaping metal plates with curled tabs (12,14) and seats crossed by metallic pivot (18) rigidly coupled to one of them and rotatable with respect to the other. The curled tab can freely rotate with respect to the pivot is interrupted by a elasticized bush deformable material rigidly coupled to the component and fitted with an interference fit.
