Abstract

The invention refers to a furniture hinge (2) for fastening a furniture door (4) or flap of a piece of furniture (6) to a furniture body (8) of the piece of furniture (6) in an articulated manner. The furniture hinge (2) comprises a first hinge part (10) for attachment to the furniture door (4) or flap, and a second hinge part (12) for attachment to the furniture body (8), a hinge assembly (18; 18.1, 18.2) which movably connects the first hinge part (10) to the second hinge part (12) in order to realise an opening movement of the furniture hinge (2), in which the first hinge part (10) moves away from the second hinge part (12), and an oppositely directed closing movement of the furniture hinge (2), a damping element (22) for damping the opening movement and/or the closing movement of the furniture hinge (2) at least towards the end of the movement, the damping element (22) comprising a cylinder (24), a piston which is linearly movable in the cylinder (24) relative thereto, and a piston rod (26) which is coupled to the piston and projects from the cylinder (24), and a mounting piece (27; 27′) which is attached to the furniture body (8) and to which the second hinge part (12) is attached. It is suggested that the cylinder (24) of the damping element (22) is fastened to one of the hinge parts (10; 12) or to a first component of the furniture hinge (2), which is rigidly connected to one of the hinge parts (10; 12) at least during the opening movement and/or closing movement of the furniture hinge (2), pivotably about a pivot axis (86).
