<p>A hinge 10 is arranged to be self-closing by the provision of two inter-engaged parts that are pivotable relative to one another, by each part including a respective barrel portion 30, 50, the two barrel portions 30, 50 being coaxial and end-to-end. Juxtaposed ends of the barrel portions 30, 50 each have a respective cam insert 35 therein. The cam inserts 35 are arranged such that an axial compressive force acting through the axis of the hinge 10 causes the hinge 10 to close. One of the barrel portions 50 is extended and has a damper 72 positioned therein. The damper 72 dampens relative axial movement of the two parts of the hinge 10. Thus, a door mounted on the hinge 10 in a door frame has its movement damped and tends not to slam closed.</p> |
