Abstract: A door-closer and hinge combination includes a pair of hinge plates adapted respectively to be fixed to a door and door frame, these plates respectively carrying a pair of extensions which are situated along a predetermined hinge axis and which are formed with coaxial bores, the axis of which coincides with the hinge axis, these bores receiving a hinge pin for hingedly connecting the hinge plates to each other. An elongated force-transmittingrod extends parallel to the hinge axis and is guided by a pair of guide sleeves carried by one of the hinge plates for movement parallel to the hinge axis. The force-transmitting rod carries a helical cam-follower which cooperates with a cam slot formed in the other hinge plate, which does not carry the guide sleeves, this other hinge plate preferably being fixed to a door so that upon opening the door the rod is vertically displaced.
