A hinge assembly ( 1 ) is described for the articulated connection of a vertically opening panel ( 2 ) to a furniture element ( 3 ) between a closing position and an opening position in which the panel ( 2 ) is at least partially lifted with respect to the hinge assembly ( 1 ) and to the furniture element ( 3 ). More specifically, the hinge assembly ( 1 ) comprises: -a supporting base ( 6 ); -a lifting lever ( 7 ) operatively connected to the panel ( 2 ) and hinged to the supporting base ( 6 ) about a pivoting axis (P 1 -P 1 ) between the closing and opening positions of the panel ( 2 ); -a balancing device ( 10 ) acting on the lifting lever ( 7 ) to at least partially counterbalance the weight of the panel ( 2 ) during rotation of the lever ( 7 ) about the pivoting axis (P 1 -P 1 ). According to the invention, in the mounting position of the hinge assembly ( 1 ) the pivoting axis (P 1 -P 1 ) of the lifting lever ( 7 ) and the balancing device ( 10 ) are positioned above an upper surface ( 4 a) of the furniture element ( 3 ). |
