  • Patent number: 7543356
    Abstract: A snap hinge for supporting closure elements, comprising a first articulated quadrilateral and a second articulated quadrilateral, which share a first lever and a second lever and have, as their base element, respectively a plate for coupling to a component designed to be fixed and a plate for fixing to a closure element, at least first elastic elements which act on at least one of the articulated quadrilaterals, and a device for fixing the coupling plate to the component, and a complementary plate, which is adapted to be superimposed on the coupling plate, elements for anchoring the complementary plate to the component, elements for the rectilinear guiding of the coupling plate so that it slides alternately along a direction which is substantially parallel to the plane formed by the component, the elements being formed in the complementary plate, and elements for actuating the coupling plate so that it slides along the guiding elements.
