Abstract
A hinge assembly (1) is described for the articulated connection of a vertically opening panel (2) to a furniture element (3) between a closing position and an opening position in which the panel (2) is at least partially lifted with respect to the hinge assembly (1) and to the furniture element (3). More specifically, the hinge assembly (1) comprises: --a supporting base (6); --a lifting lever (7) operatively connected to the panel (2) and hinged to the supporting base (6) about a pivoting axis (P1-P1) between the closing and opening positions of the panel (2); --a balancing device (10) acting on the lifting lever (7) to at least partially counterbalance the weight of the panel (2) during rotation of the lever (7) about the pivoting axis (P1-P1). According to the invention, in the mounting position of the hinge assembly (1) the pivoting axis (P1-P1) of the lifting lever (7) and the balancing device (10) are positioned above an upper surface (4a) of the furniture element (3).
