Patent ID: 8683653

Claim:
A hinge for a door at least partially covering a compartment, comprising: first and second supports that are fixed to a compartment structure and to a door, respectively, said first and second supports being at least rotatably constrained to each other; an elastic means counteracting a movement of said first support relative to said second support; at least one cylinder-piston fluidic damper comprising a piston configured to be constrained to said first support or said compartment structure, and a cylinder configured to be constrained to said second support or said door; wherein said at least one damper allows internal flow leakage of the fluid contained therein, said cylinder comprising a chamber of reduced section placed at one end thereof and defining a higher-resistance region, wherein a higher resistance is offered against relative movement, at least in one direction, of said piston, relative to other inner regions of said cylinder and said piston; said piston comprising a cylindrical body, sliding within said cylinder, and having, on a first side of a base thereof, at least one cylindrical appendix of reduced section, which is configured to be non-sealingly engaged within said chamber of reduced section of the cylinder, and said piston is sealingly sliding within said cylinder and comprises a through hole for internal flow leakage of said fluid having an inlet port located on a side wall of said cylindrical reduced-section appendix and an outlet port formed on a second side of the base of said cylindrical body opposite to the first side of the base from which said appendix projects.
