The invention relates to a hinge for French doors in a refrigerator. The problem involved in a hinge of this type is that the opposite doors without an intermediate support should open with a yielding movement so that the seals of the doors will not rub against each other. The hinge according to the invention makes such a movement possible and is at the same time strong and small-dimensioned, and it makes possible a rapid opening movement and a rapid enhanced closing movement. The hinge comprises a notch (2) and a roller (3) working in conjunction with each other in order to produce a guided lateral movement. The notch is located in the hinge frame (1) and the roller at the upper or lower edge of the door. The hinge additionally has a spring-loaded slide (9) which receives its reciprocating movement from the roller and a slide-guided locking member (11) for locking the hinge in the lateral direction while the door is being pivoted freely. |
