Abstract

The hinge (1) for furniture comprises a first and a second swinging arm (2, 3) hinged at their ends by means of pins (12, 13, 14, 15) to a box-shaped body (4) designed to be attached to a swinging portion (5) of the furniture and to a hinge arm (6) suitable for being attached to a fixed portion (7) of the furniture, a bending spring (8) also being provided, that has a first spring arm (9) presenting a profile (17a, 17b) for sliding against a cam (10) provided at one end of the first swinging arm (2), and a second spring arm (11) engaging with the hinge arm (6) or with the box-shaped body (4), the spring (8) being designed to exert a thrusting force on the cam (10) by means of its profile (17a, 17b) so as to enable the rotation of the first swinging arm (2) in the closing direction of the swinging portion (5), the sliding profile (17a, 17b) comprising a first stretch (17a) that engages with the cam (10) during the final part of the angular closing stroke of the swinging portion (5) and a second stretch (17b) that engages with the cam (10) during the initial part of the angular closing stroke of the swinging portion (5) and that, with respect to the extension of the first stretch (17a), it has an angle of deflection (19) from the side facing towards the cam (10), by means of which the thrusting force (F) acquires the arm force (B) needed to operate the rotation of the first swinging arm (2) in advance.
