Door hinge
First Claim
1. A door hinge comprising a first element, a second element and a lever connecting the first and second elements to each other;
- the lever being pivoted on the second element and having a first portion attached to the first element to make the first and the second element reciprocally mobile about a horizontal axis;
the second element consisting of a box-shaped body housing an elastic means for acting in conjunction with a second portion of the lever to control the reciprocal motion of the first and the second element;
wherein the first element and the lever of the hinge constitute a rocker lever pivoted on the second element and in which the first element comprises a first arm which is rotatable with respect to the second element in a first plane outside the box-shaped body and parallel to a second plane in which a second arm of the rocker lever lies and about which the rocker rotates, said second arm being defined by the second portion of the lever.

Abstract
A door hinge includes a first element, a second element and a lever connecting the first and second elements to each other. The lever is pivoted on the second element and has a first portion attached to the first element to make the first and the second element reciprocally mobile about a horizontal axis. The second element includes a box-shaped body housing elastic means acting in conjunction with a second portion of the lever to control the reciprocal motion of the first and the second element. The first element and the lever constitute a rocker lever pivoted on the second element and in which a first arm of the first element rotates in a plane outside the box-shaped body and parallel to the plane in which the second arm of the rocker lever lies.

9. A hinge comprising a first element, a second element and a lever connecting the first and second elements to each other;
- the lever being pivoted on the second element and having a first portion attached to the first element to make the first and the second element reciprocally mobile about a horizontal axis;
the second element housing an elastic means for acting in conjunction with a second portion of the lever to control the reciprocal motion of the first and the second element;
wherein a first arm, defined by the first element, is rotatable, during the reciprocal motion of the first and the second element, in a plane outside the second element;
the first portion of the lever defining a rotation pin by which the lever is pivoted on the second element;
a longitudinal end of the pin protruding from a side wall of the second element and being fitted with a watertight collar seal.
- the lever being pivoted on the second element and having a first portion attached to the first element to make the first and the second element reciprocally mobile about a horizontal axis;
