Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009132943A1] The invention relates to a hinge element (10) for a door (2) of a household appliance (1), and a housing for a household appliance, and a household appliance, particularly a refrigerator or freezer. The hinge element (10) comprises an mounting segment (11) for mounting on the body (4) of the household appliance, a support arm (12) offset from the mounting segment, and a bearing element (16) disposed at the free end of the support arm (12). The support arm (12) is perpendicular to the pivot axis (3) of the hinge in a cross section, at an acute angle (ß) from the mounting segment and describes an arc (v) of greater than 90°. The curvature of the support arm (12) allows a particularly large opening angle of the door.
