<p>A hinge ( 10 ) that 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 coaxially 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> |
