  • Publication number: 20260033700
    Abstract: A hinge for dishwasher doors, including a first element and a second element pivoted together and mutually movable in a tilting fashion, the first and second elements being fixable one to a frame and the other to a door of an electrical appliance to make the door movable with respect to the frame between a closed position and an open position, a lever connecting the first and the second element, an elastic element connected to the lever and capable of generating, with its own deformation, an elastic reaction force capable of at least partially compensating for the weight of the door during its opening or closing, as well as means for regulating the intensity of this elastic reaction force.
