  • Patent number: 4100648
    Abstract: A hinge includes a first part which is attachable to a furniture body and a second part which is attachable to a door, the first and second parts being connected by inner and outer guide links which are so constructed and attached to allow for the door to be swung away from the body and rotated through an angle greater than 90.degree.. The inner guide line may comprise a slightly inwardly curved steel band which is wrapped at its end around a first pair of hinge pins respectively attached to the first and second parts, and the outer guide link may comprise an approximately straight steel band which is wrapped at its end around a second pair of hinge pins respectively attached to the first and second parts, but further away from the furniture body than the inner guide link. The hinge pin for the outer guide link which is attached to the second part is constructed such that the outer guide link is eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of its pivot at the adjacent end thereof.
