Abstract:
1. A hinge on as cover for a container, said hinge having a pivot axis and comprising: at least one first member fixed against rotation; at least one second member rotatable about said axis, said first and second members being arranged coaxially along said axis; a third member arranged coaxial with the first and second members; a damper element between the first and the third members in order to dampen the relative rate of rotation therebetween; a first spring arranged between the second and the third members, said first spring being connected to the respective second and third members so that relative rotation therebetween is permitted in a first direction, when the cover is pivoted towards a first position, and prevented in a second direction, when the cover is pivoted towards a second position; and a second spring arranged between the first and second members, said second spring being connected to the respective first and second members so that rotation of the second member exerts a torque on said second member towards the second position of the cover.
