Abstract
Cabinet hinge having a door-related part configured as a plug-in cup and a carcass-related part configured as an elongated supporting arm, which are articulated relative to one another by two hinge links journaled at their ends in the cup at one end and on the supporting arm at the other. The hinge has a closing mechanism having a cam element disposed at the inner end of the inner hinge link, which is joined corotationally with the hinge link, and on whose cam surface a resiliently flexible section of one leg of a substantially U-shaped leaf spring lies under bias while its second leg is joined to the outer end of the resiliently flexible leg in the interior of the supporting arm by a bridging section and thrusts against the interior of the supporting arm. The inner hinge link has at its inner end two parallel ears spaced apart from one another, between which the cam element is disposed for corotation therewith.
