Patent ID: 8677565

Claim:
A hinge for doors of domestic appliances such as ovens, dishwashers or the like, comprising: a lever; a box-shaped body comprising a bottom wall and two side walls; the lever and the box-shaped body being hinged to each other through the agency of a first pin to make the lever and the box-shaped body tiltable relative to each other, the lever and the box-shaped body being fixable one to a frame and the other to a door, for making the door movable relative to the frame between an open position and a closed position; an elastic mechanism located at least partly inside the box-shaped body for producing an elastic reaction force which opposes the opening of the door; a connecting rod hinged to a first end of the lever; a tie rod hinged to the connecting rod and connected to the elastic mechanism; a pivot pin for tie rod and connecting rod, slidable with its ends in respective guides formed in the side walls of the box-shaped body when the door is opened and closed, the hinge being characterized in that it comprises a shoe interposed between the connecting rod and the box-shaped body, slidable relative to the bottom wall when the door is opened and closed, in order to force the pin to travel along a predetermined path in the guides and to limit friction between pin and guide, thus avoiding guide wear.
