Claim Text:
1. A hinge for a movable furniture part configured to be attached to a furniture body of a furniture item, wherein the hinge comprises: a first attachment part configured to be attached on the furniture body; and a second attachment part configured to be attached on the movable furniture part of the furniture item, wherein the first attachment part is pivotably connected to the second attachment part via an articulation mechanism, and wherein the articulation mechanism comprises articulation levers that are mounted via articulation axles; a guide lever extending in a longitudinal direction and having a front face, a rear face, a first leg, a guide face having a guide edge inclined from the rear face towards the front face, and a groove extending in the longitudinal direction between the first leg and the guide face; and a further lever which acts on a hinge damper assembly, the further lever is pivotally accommodated via an axle separate from the articulation axles and further comprises a bearing portion on an end opposite the axle; wherein during a normal operation of the hinge, the further lever assumes a predetermined ready position in which the bearing portion of the further lever is aligned to engage the groove along the longitudinal direction via an opening; wherein during an abnormal operation of the hinge in which the further lever has become misaligned with the groove and is in a position different from the predetermined ready position, the bearing portion of the further lever engages the inclined guide edge of the guide lever in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction such that the bearing portion slides over the inclined guide edge and engages with the groove to resume normal operation of the hinge.
