29a - 29c each a schematically held section through a spring mechanism according to the invention, which forms the closing and / or opening mechanism for the hinge according to the invention.

The hinge according to the invention has a hinge arm in a conventional manner 1 on that on a base plate 2 is anchored and forms a first stop part.

The base plate 2 is on a furniture sidewall 3 attached, for example screwed to this. The hinge arm 1 is over toggle 4 with a hinge pot 5 hingedly connected, which forms the second stop member. The hinge pot 5 is on a door, in particular a furniture door 6 is fixed, being in a hole in the furniture door 6 is used. In addition to a press fit in the hole in the furniture door 6 can the hinge pot 5 still with the furniture door 6 be bolted. This is done by screwing through holes 7 in the flange 8th of the hinge pot 5 protrude.

Such a hinge is in the EP 0 225 609 B1 described. A special feature of such hinges is that the hinge arm 1 without tools on the base plate 2 mounted and can be dismantled without tools. When mounting the hinge, the hinge arm becomes 1 in the front of the base plate 2 then hooked (in relation to the 1 to 6 The drawings) rotated counterclockwise, whereupon it at its rear end by a resilient latching mechanism on the base plate 2 is locked. The resilient latching mechanism is, for example, as shown in said European patent, formed by a spring-loaded rocker arm.

Such a hinge may be provided with a locking mechanism, generally one of the two toggle levers 4 one in the hinge arm 1 mounted spring is applied to the articulated lever 4 and thus the hinge pot 5 in the full closed position presses.

According to the invention, the hinge is provided with a fluid damper which is either on the flange 8th of the hinge pot 5 is arranged or on the hinge arm 1 is stored. The fluid damper can either be used as a rotary damper 9 and as in the embodiment shown ( 1 - 18 and 25 ) Also be designed as a wing cell damper or as a linear damper 10 , as in the embodiment of the 19 to 24 shown. Advantageously, the hinge with a spring mechanism 11 provided, as an additional closing and / or opening mechanism 11 serves. This spring mechanism 11 Depending on the orientation, the hinge can move both into the final closed position and into the final open position. This additional spring mechanism 11 provides the energy consumed by the fluid damper.

In the embodiment of the 1 to 5 are the rotary damper 9 and the spring mechanism 11 in a common housing 12 on the flange 8th of the hinge pot 5 arranged.

Both the wing 13 of the rotary damper 9 as well as the printing part 14 of the spring mechanism 11 are over articulated levers 15 with the hinge arm 1 connected. The opening and closing of the furniture door 6 causes a movement of the toggle lever 15 , Where through the wing 13 of the rotary damper 9 is rotated in the embodiment by an angle of about 110 °.

This movement is in the last closing or opening area by the pressure part 14 of the spring mechanism 11 also with the articulated levers 15 connected, supported. The articulated levers 15 are on both sides of the toggle 4 arranged. The printing part 14 consists of a part 16 , which is rotatably mounted on an axle, which has an output shaft 17 forms. The drive shaft 17 is also rotatable with one of the toggle lever 15 connected.

On the part 16 outsourced a part 18 , which is cap-shaped on the part 16 is attached. Between the parts 16 and 18 there is a compression spring 19 that the part 18 to an inner curved track 20 of the housing 12 suppressed. In the area 21 the curved path 20 the spring mechanism behaves 11 neutral, ie there is no torque on the toggle lever 15 exercised. In the area 22 is due to the curvature of the guideway 20 and the pressure of the spring 19 generates a torque and the pressure part 14 over the output shaft 17 on the toggle lever 15 transmitted, causing an angular movement of the toggle 15 entails.

So the furniture door 6 from the spring mechanism 11 Moving both in the final closed position and in the final open position, two acting in opposite directions spring mechanisms 11 be provided. It is also possible in a housing two guideways 20 to provide on which two pressure parts 14 expire. The active area 22 is at the opposite end of the neutral area 21 educated.

Furthermore, it is possible a curved path 20 to be provided, each having an active area at both ends 22 have, wherein the areas 22 between them a neutral area 21 lock in.

At the rotary damper 9 is during the turning or pivoting movement of the wing 13 the damping fluid, be it a liquid and / or a gas, through the gap between the tip of the blade 13 and the housing wall 23 pressed, whereby the desired damping effect is achieved.

In the embodiment of the 7 to 15 are the rotary damper 9 and the spring mechanism 11 as a modular component 24 on the hinge arm 1 stored, with the rotary damper 9 and the spring mechanism 11 on opposite sides of the hinge arm 1 are located.

In the embodiment shown, the base plate 2 with two laterally from the hinge arm 1 protruding wings 30 provided, protrude through the mounting screws.

In the embodiment of the 7 to 15 are the rotary damper 9 and the spring mechanism 11 between the wings 30 and the front end of the hinge arm 1 , Under the front end of the hinge arm 1 is to understand that end at which the toggle lever 4 are articulated.

Again, the wing is 13 of the rotary damper and the pressure part 14 of the spring mechanism 11 non-rotatable with one of the toggle levers 15 connected. When closing the hinge, and preferably also when opening the hinge, the movement of the hinge cup 5 and thus the movement of the furniture door 6 at least in the last closing or opening area by the rotary damper 9 attenuated. On the other hand, the closing or opening movement by the spring mechanism 11 supported.

In the embodiment of the 16 to 18 are the rotary damper 9 and the spring mechanism 11 tiltable on the flange 8th of the hinge pot 5 stored. The housing of the rotary damper 9 and the housing of the spring mechanism 11 are over a yoke 25 connected to each other, which is rotatable on the flange 8th of the hinge pot 5 is stored.

Both the wing 13 the rotary damper and the pressure lever 14 of the spring mechanism 11 are with pinions 26 Mistake. The pinions 26 comb with racks 27 , which rotate on the hinge arm 1 are articulated. The racks 27 take over the function of the toggle lever 15 and are also on both sides of the toggle 4 arranged.

In the embodiment of the 19 to 24 is the fluid damper as a linear damper 10 running, the one at the hinge pot 5 pivotally mounted cylinder 28 in which one with a piston rod 29 connected piston is linearly movable. The piston rod 29 is rotatable on the hinge arm 1 hinged. The spring mechanism 11 is the same as in the previously described embodiments. Both the spring mechanism 11 as well as the linear damper 10 are in turn on a yoke 25 stored, rotatably on the hinge cup 5 is stored.
