Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement comprising a hinge, in particular a furniture hinge, and a damper (7). The damper (7) or damper housing (5), which supports the damper (7), is placed on the hinge by means of at least one securing device (11) which is elastic in places. The securing device (11) comprises at least one first supporting part (12) which is essentially rigid and at least one second supporting part (13) which is essentially springy or spring-loaded.

Claims

1. An arrangement comprising:

a furniture hinge,

a damper,

said damper or a damper housing carrying said damper can be fitted onto said hinge by means of a fixing device which is at least region-wise elastic,

wherein said fixing device has at least one substantially rigid first support portion and at least one substantially resilient or spring-loaded second support portion.

2. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said fixing device can be actuated without a tool or by hand.

3. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a spring force acting on said second support portion loads said second support portion in a direction facing away from said first support portion.

4. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said first support portion is of a substantially hooked configuration or has at least two hooks.

5. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said second support portion has a spring tongue.

6. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said damper when being loaded in operation, said damper or said damper housing is supported on said hinge substantially by way of said first support portion.

7. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said hinge or said damper or said damper housing has an opening into which said fixing device can engage.

8. The arrangement according to claim 7, wherein said opening has a substantially rigid edge.

9. The arrangement according to claim 7, wherein said hinge comprises at least two fitment portions and at least one hinge lever hingedly connecting said fitment portions, wherein said opening is provided in one of said fitment portions or in said hinge lever and said fixing device is provided or fixed on said damper or on said damper housing or formed integrally on said damper or on said damper housing.

10. The arrangement according to claim 9, wherein said at least two fitment portions are designed as a hinge arm and a hinge cup.

11. The arrangement according to claim 9, wherein said hinge comprises at least one intermediate portion arranged between one of said fitments portions and one of said furniture parts.

12. The arrangement according to claim 11, wherein said opening is provided on said intermediate portion.

13. The arrangement according to claim 7, wherein said hinge comprises at least two fitment portions and at least one hinge lever hingedly connecting said fitment portions, wherein said opening is provided in said damper or said damper housing and said fixing device is provided or fixed on one of said fitment portions or on said hinge lever.

14. The arrangement according to claim 13, wherein said at least two fitment portions are designed as a hinge arm and a hinge cup.

15. The arrangement according to claim 13, wherein said hinge comprises at least one intermediate portion arranged between one of said fitment portions and said furniture parts.

16. The arrangement according to claim 15, wherein said fixing device is arranged on said intermediate piece or formed integrally on said intermediate piece.

17. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein there is additionally provided a third support portion for safeguarding against lateral displacement or against rotary movement.

18. A hinge having a fixing device suitable for an arrangement according to claim 1.

19. Damper or damper housing having a fixing device suitable for an arrangement according to claim 1.
