CLAMPING STRAP FOR FURNITURE DOORS

摘要

Furniture hinge of a snap type holding the door open after a predetermined movement of the door in a door opening direction and exerting a closing force on the door as the door moves past a dead point toward its closed position. A socket member mortised in the door forms a stop for the door, a pivot support for two swing levers pivotally connected to a bracket member extending from a wall of the cabinet and hinging the door for movement about an imaginary axis. A spring formed integrally with the socket member extends outside of the socket member and is inclined at an oblique angle relative to the plane of the door. The spring has engagement with an end of the innermost swing lever within the socket and moves the door toward a closed position when moving past the dead position, upon door closing movement. The socket member and spring are preferably molded from a single piece of plastic material.
