Abstract

See full text

A hinge includes a hinge body, a self-close mechanism disposed within the hinge body, and a slow-close mechanism disposed within the hinge body. The hinge body has a first portion and a second portion, the first portion is rotatable with respect to the second portion between an open position and a closed position. The self-close mechanism applies a closing force on the first portion from a first angle of rotation between the first portion and the second portion to the closed position, the closing force urging the first portion to the closed position. The slow-close mechanism applies a damping force on the first portion from a second angle of rotation between the first portion and the second portion to the closed position, the damping force slowing a rotational speed of the first portion to the closed position.
