Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03039322A1] A counterbalanced hinge device with vertical movement for an appliance door, of the type including connection means (2) for the appliance body, support means (3), fit for fixing an appliance door, and balancing means (11), connected to the connection means (2), includes: a rocker arm (4) hinged to the connection means (2) and connected to the support means (3); linkage means (20) connected to the connection means (2), to the support means (3) and to the balancing means (11) and having a median portion (15) for sliding mating a shaped portion (7) of the rocker arm (14). The linkage means (20) are fit for transmitting to the support means (3) a counterbalancing force of the door, between a closing condition (C) and a full opening condition (A) and vice versa. The sliding contact between the median portion (15) and the shaped portion (7) causes a rotation of the rocker arm (4) and the vertical movement of the appliance door in correspondence of the passage from the closing condition (C) to the opening condition (A) and vice versa.
