Abstract

A hinge for a movable furniture part which is accommodatable on a furniture body of an item of furniture, wherein the hinge displays a first attachment part which, via an articulation mechanism, is pivotably connected to a second attachment part, wherein the articulation mechanism comprises articulation levers, and wherein a further lever which acts on a damper assembly of the hinge and which is pivotably accommodated by way of a separate axle, and, in the case of a pivoting movement according to the intended use of the hinge, is temporarily engaged on a guide portion on the hinge, wherein the further lever, prior to an engaging operation, assumes a predetermined ready position from which the further lever engages on the guide portion.

Claims

1. A hinge for a movable furniture part which is accommodatable via the hinge on a furniture body of an item of furniture, in particular, a furniture hinge for a door or flap, wherein the hinge displays a first attachment part which is installable on the furniture body and which, via an articulation mechanism, is pivotably connected to a second attachment part which is installable on the movable furniture part, wherein the articulation mechanism comprises articulation levers which are mounted by way of articulation axles, and wherein a further lever which acts on a damper assembly of the hinge and which is pivotably accommodated by way of an axle separate to the articulation axles and, in the case of a pivoting movement according to the intended use of the hinge, is temporarily engaged on a guide portion on the hinge, wherein, in the usual operation of the hinge, the further lever, prior to an engaging operation, assumes a predetermined ready position from which the further lever engages on the guide portion, wherein a setting portion which is tuned to the further lever is configured in such a manner that the further lever on the hinge, from a pivoted position which, prior to the engaging operation, is different from the predetermined ready position, interacts with the setting portion in the case of the pivoting movement according to the intended use of the hinge such that the setting portion forces the further lever into the engaged state.

2. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein a bearing portion of the further lever which is engageable with the guide portion is present, wherein the setting portion comprises a guide edge which is tuned to the bearing portion and which is obliquely oriented in a direction of movement of the bearing portion.

3. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein an extent of the setting portion is adapted to at least one substantial extent of the guide portion.

4. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the setting portion comprises a passage for the bearing portion, wherein the passage displays oblique faces which lie opposite one another.

5. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the further lever and the guide portion are tuned to one another in such a manner that an engagement state between the further lever and the guide portion, wherein the engagement state is established in the case of a pivoting movement according to the intended use of the hinge in a first pivoting direction on an engagement point of the pivoting movement, is neutralized in the case of a pivoting movement of the hinge out of the engagement point in a second pivoting direction which is counter to the first pivoting direction.

6. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the further lever is configured to act on a portion of a component which is present on the first attachment part which is installable on the furniture body.

7. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the guide portion is accommodated between two articulation axles of the hinge.

8. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the guide portion comprises a guide track which is raised or sunken in relation to the adjacent regions and which is configured so as to be tuned for the temporary engagement with a meshing portion of the further lever.

9. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the guide portion is present in such a manner that, in the case of a pivoting movement according to the intended use of the hinge, the guide portion is conjointly moved.

10. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the further lever is pivotably mounted on one of the attachment parts.

11. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the hinge is configured as a knuckle-joint hinge.

12. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the hinge is configured as a wide-angle hinge.

13. An item of furniture having a movable furniture part which is attached on a furniture body of the item of furniture, in particular, having a door or flap, wherein the item of furniture displays a hinge according to claim 1.
