Furniture hinge

A cabinet with double doors consisting of an inner door and an outer door. The inner door is mounted in such a way as to swing on the hinge axis of the shell of a refrigerator or freezer inside the cabinet and open or close the appliance. A coupling mechanism between the outer and inner doors and the shell of the appliance is associated with the hinges. The coupling mechanism has a drive assembly mounted on the inner door in such a way as to pivot around an axis parallel to that of the hinges. The coupling mechanism is coupled to the shell of the appliance and to the outer door in such a way that the outer door is forced to one side and away from the axis of the hinges when the inner door is opened.
