A hinge assembly 10 comprises two parts 11,14 pivotally connected together; a hinge cup 13 in one of the two parts; a linear damping device (17, Fig. 2) mounted in the hinge cup 13, e.g. via a resilient snap connection and oriented parallel to the pivoting axis of the hinge assembly and rotatable about its long axis in one direction only; and means for actuating the damper (17, Fig. 2) over at least part of relative pivotal movement between the two parts 11,14. There may be a cam and follower connection between the hinge and linear damper (17, Fig. 2). The assembly may comprise a detachable cover (21, Fig. 2) for retaining the damper (17, Fig. 2) in the cup 13. The damper (17, Fig. 2) may include a mechanism for adjusting the onset of its resistive force. The damper (17, Fig. 2) may comprise a wing (22, Fig. 2) for actuating the damper. |
