Abstract
A hinge for furniture comprises a bowl (,) and a wing (,) interconnected by connecting rods (,) pivotally mounted to enable a movement between a closed position and an open position of the hinge. An automatic closure mechanism (,) urges the hinge towards a closed position when the hinge is brought close to such a closed position. The bowl (,) comprises regions (,) of interference with at least one connecting rod when the hinge is close to the open position, to offer an increased resistance to said movement over a length thereof close to the open position.
