Damper arrangement
First Claim
1. A hinge including a damper arrangement, said hinge having two parts pivotably connecting to each other, said damper arrangement comprising:
- a linear damper configured to have a linear damping stroke;
at least two abutment portions to be respectively mounted to one of the parts of the hinge, said at least two abutment portions being pivotably connected together by the hinge having a hinge axis, said damper being arranged such that a direction of the linear damping stroke is at a damping stroke angle relative to a line parallel to said hinge axis, said damping stroke angle being different than a perpendicular angle between the line parallel to said hinge axis and a line perpendicular to said hinge axis;
a transmission mechanism, wherein said hinge pivotably connecting said abutment portions includes a hinge lever for triggering the linear damping stroke via said transmission mechanism, said hinge lever and said transmission mechanism being configured such that said hinge lever triggers the linear damping stroke during pivotal movement of said at least two abutment portions; and
a transmission lever, a thrust lever, and an actuating lever, said transmission lever arranged to be acted upon by said hinge lever via said transmission lever, said thrust lever, and said actuating lever.

Abstract
A damper arrangement is provided for parts of furniture that can be pivoted in relation to each other. The arrangement includes at least one damper having a linear damping course, and at least two abutment parts which can be respectively fixed to one of the parts of the furniture, or can be supported thereon in an especially sliding manner. The abutment parts are interconnected in such a way that they can be pivoted by at least one articulated axis. The damper is arranged in such a way that the direction of the linear damping course thereof is at an angle to a parallel line, deviating (offset) from a vertical line, preferably essentially parallel to the articulated axis.
