Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a hinge wherein a pair of articulated quadrilaterals, secured to the door (A) and to a wall (P) of a piece of furniture respectively have some elements in common. The hinge has a spring (20) associated to one of the articulated polygons (4, 5, 6, 7; 3, 8, 9, 10) exerting a force upon the opening and closing conditions of the door (A), greater than at least that exerted in intermediate conditions. Thus it is sufficient to apply the elastic means (20) only at one point in order to achieve the snap-type opening and closing of the door (A), simplifying the hinge and reducing the costs.
