Abstract (en)

The hinge comprises a hinge arm (1) joined to a fixed part (2) by a hinge pin (3). A guide component can be moved along guide slots (5, 6) in the arm and fixed part, the slot (6) for the fixed part being non-linear. At least one spring is used to hold the guide component in either of its two stop end positions (E1, E2). Pivoting the arm to move the guide component from one stop end position to a turning point (W) in the non-linear slot is achieved by overcoming a spring bias, and after this turning point the spring bias urges the arm into the second stop end position.
