Definitions

• the invention relates to a hinge with a locking device, wherein a hinge arm attached to a side wall of the furniture by means of two articulated levers with a hinge housing or the like attached to a door leaf. is connected., wherein the articulated levers are supported on articulated axes on the hinge arm and in the hinge housing and one of the articulated levers is acted upon by a helical spring as a compression spring which presses on the articulated lever by means of an intermediate piece arranged between the articulated lever and the compression spring, which acts as the compression spring Is designed sleeve, which is pivotable about the articulated lever axis.
• hinges are used in a variety of ways in modern furniture construction and in particular in modern kitchen furniture construction.
• the locking device in the hinge can replace its own locking device on the door, for example a snap, and thus the costs for the piece of furniture in question influence favorably. Furthermore, it prevents the inadvertent opening of door leaves if they have only been closed carelessly, since the locking device pulls the door leaf into the final closed position from a certain angle which the door leaf takes up to the closing plane.
• the object of the invention is to improve a hinge of the type mentioned at the outset and to provide an even safer function than in the conventional known hinge with a locking device - and to make the production of the hinge more economical.
• a steel pin is arranged within the compression spring, which has a head which lies between the compression spring and the articulated lever axis, about which the sleeve can be pivoted, and in that the head has projections that lie laterally on the articulated lever axis.
• An embodiment of the invention provides that the head is circular in plan view.
• the projections of the head are crenellated or that the projections are pyramid-shaped and point with a corner to the center of the circle.
• one exemplary embodiment provides that one, preferably two, grooves extend over the head of the steel pin, each groove advantageously adjoining the side surfaces of two projections.
• FIG. 1 shows schematically a section through a hinge according to the invention in the closed position
• Fig. 2 shows a side view of a guide pin of the locking device
• Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the guide pin
• Fig. 4 shows a plan view of a further embodiment 5 shows a plan view of a further exemplary embodiment of a sleeve
• FIG. 6 shows a section along line VI-VI of FIG. 5

• FIG. 8 shows a diagram of the steel insert Description of preferred embodiments
• the hinge has a hinge arm 1 which is held on a base plate 4 by means of a fastening screw 2 which projects through an elongated hole 3 in the hinge arm 1.
• the base plate 4 is screwed onto the furniture side wall 6 by means of screws 5, but any other type of fastening, for example by means of dowels, could also be considered.
• a set screw 8 In a threaded bore 7 of the hinge arm 1 there is a set screw 8, by means of which, in cooperation with the fastening screw 2, an adjustment of the hinge arm 1 and thus of the hinge. in the width of the furniture door is possible.
• the hinge housing 10 is inserted into the door leaf 9 and the hinge housing 10 and the hinge arm 1 are connected to one another by means of two articulated levers 11, 12 which are mounted on articulated axes 13 in the hinge housing and articulated axes 14 on the hinge arm 1.
• the sleeve 15 is arranged between the two articulated levers 11, 12 and the two articulated axes 14 of the hinge arm.
• the sleeve 15 is supported by means of recesses 16 on the hinge axis 14, which connects the hinge lever 12 to the hinge arm 1.
• a compression spring 17 Arranged in the sleeve 15 is a compression spring 17 designed as a helical spring, which is supported on the one hand on the inside of the sleeve 15 and on the other hand on the hinge axis 14. When the door leaf is open, the sleeve 15 is practically supported entirely on the hinge axis 14 which connects the hinge lever 11 to the hinge arm 1. On the articulated lever 11 has little or no pressure.
• a steel pin 31 is arranged in the sleeve 15 in this exemplary embodiment, specifically within the compression spring 17.
• the sleeve 15 is made of plastic.
• the steel pin 31 has a circular head 33, which is supported on the articulated lever axis 14 and against which the compression spring 17 presses.
• the head has on the side facing the articulated lever axis, projections 33 which are supported laterally (FIG. 1) on the articulated lever axis 14. Therefore, shear forces occurring in the compression spring 17 do not act on the sleeve 15, but are derived from the steel pin 31 via the articulated lever axis 14.
• the projections 33 are advantageously pyramid-shaped, the corners 33 ′ pointing towards the center of the head 32.
• continuous grooves 34 are provided between the projections 33 and extend along the side walls 33 ′′ of two projections 33.
• 5 to 8 show an embodiment of a sleeve 15 which has a steel insert 24 and a plastic jacket 25 molded thereon instead of the steel pin. In this way, the occurring

• the steel insert 24 has two struts 26 which extend along the compression spring 17.
• the steel struts 26 are below, i.e. at the free end of the sleeve 15, provided with bends 27.
• the bends 27 are flat with the plastic base of the plastic jacket 25, so that the compression spring 17 is supported on the bends 27.
• the steel insert 24 is U-shaped in plan view, i.e. the struts 26 are connected to one another by a connecting web 29.
• the connecting web 28 also has an angled portion 29, which, however, projects outwards and supports the plastic jacket 15.
