Abstract

A hinge, for a movable furniture part, in particular, a door or flap, that is fastened to a body of an item of furniture, wherein the hinge has a first attachment element, which is connected pivotably to a second attachment element via a joint mechanism, wherein the joint mechanism comprises at least one articulated lever, which is mounted pivotably on the first attachment element via a first bearing element. The hinge is characterized in that the articulated lever is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the first bearing element.

Claims

1. A hinge for a movable furniture part, the hinge being fastened to a body of an item of furniture, the hinge comprising:

a first attachment element;

a second attachment element;

a joint mechanism; and

a first bearing element;

wherein the first attachment element is connected pivotably to the second attachment element via the joint mechanism,

wherein the joint mechanism comprises at least one articulated lever, which is mounted pivotably on the first attachment element via the first bearing element, and

wherein the at least one articulated lever is rotationally fixed on the first bearing element so that a pivoting movement of the at least one articulated lever is translated into a rotational movement of the first bearing element.

2. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein a discrete eccentric member is arranged on the first bearing element, and the discrete eccentric member acts on a damping element.

3. The hinge according to claim 2, wherein the discrete eccentric member is rotationally fixed on the first bearing element.

4. The hinge according to claim 2, wherein the first attachment element comprises a panel element, and the damping element, in the assembled state of the hinge on the item of furniture, is formed on a side face of the panel element of the first attachment element facing toward the body of the item of furniture on which the hinge is fastened.

5. The hinge according to claim 2, wherein the first attachment element comprises a hinge housing, and the discrete eccentric member is arranged on the first bearing element on an outer face of the hinge housing.

6. The hinge according to claim 5, wherein the hinge housing comprises a hinge cup.

7. The hinge according to claim 2, wherein the discrete eccentric member includes a guide member.

8. The hinge according to claim 2, wherein a control member is arranged eccentrically on the discrete eccentric member at a distance from a rotation axis of the first bearing element so that the control member moves in a circular path about the rotation axis when the discrete eccentric member is rotated about the rotation axis.

9. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the first bearing element is a shaft.

10. The hinge according to claim 1, wherein the damping element comprises a guide element arranged on the damper ram of the damping element.

11. An item of furniture comprising a hinge according to claim 1.
