Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a snap hinge for furniture capable of keeping the door raised open. The hinge comprises two articulated quadrilaterals with respective rocker arms (5, 7; 8, 10), one of which extends beyond the vertex (13) of the respective quadrilateral, thus forming a connecting rod (6, 9) of the other quadrilateral. Advantageously, the hinge includes a pair of articulated levers (23, 24) arranged between the rocker arms (5, 7) of one of the quadrilaterals, which are subjected to the action of a spring (20) countering the rotation of the door of the piece of furniture. Thanks to these features, a small spring (20) can keep even heavy doors in the raised position.
