Abstract:
1. A combination comprising a damping device and a hinge for providing pivotable articulation of a door leaf on a carcass of a piece of furniture, wherein the hinge comprises a supporting wall mounting part fixed on a supporting wall of the carcass and a door leaf mounting part pivotably coupled to the supporting wall mounting part via a linkage mechanism, wherein the door leaf mounting part is fixed on an tinner face of the door leaf, wherein the door leaf mounting part is countersunk and engages in a recess in the door leaf and has laterally projecting fixing flanges which bear on the inner face of the door leaf, wherein the damping device comprises a damper housing provided on the door leaf mounting part, a fluid or gaseous damping medium in a cavity of the damping device, and a resistance element movable relative to the damping medium and coupled to an actuating element extending out of the damper housing, wherein, at least during part of a pivoting movement of the supporting wall and door leaf mounting parts relative to one another, the actuating element is in engaged connection directly or indirectly with the supporting wall mounting part and transmits relative movement of the supporting wall and door leaf mounting parts to the resistance element as the supporting wall and door leaf mounting parts pivot, wherein the damper housing is a separate component with laterally projecting fixing flanges fixable on the fixing flanges of the door leaf mounting part, wherein at least some areas of the fixing flanges of the damper housing are shaped to correspond substantially to an outer boundary of the fixing flanges of the door leaf mounting part and have, in an edge region, a projecting narrow edge portion adapted to engage edges of the fixing flanges of the door leaf mounting part in a prescribed fixing position on the door leaf mounting part, wherein fixing means are provided for releasable connection of the projecting narrow edge portion of the fixing flanges of the damper housing to the edges of the fixing flanges of the door leaf mounting part.
