US-A-4716622).The invention relates to a hinge, preferably a furniture hinge consisting from a hinge arm, which pivots on a in a pot-shaped pivotable Hinged part immovably held hinge axis pivotally mounted and with a tongue projecting the hinge axis or one to the hinge axis eccentric cam or a control edge is provided on one with a End area supported on the hinged hinge part and in the closing area Sliding moment generating leaf spring slide (see, for example, US-A-4716622).

Bei einem aus der US-PS 5,027,474 bekannten Scharnier ähnlicher Art ist das topfförmige Scharnierteil an seiner der offenen Seite gegenüberliegenden Seite mit einer Brücke versehen, auf die sich eine Blattfeder abstützt, die sich an ihrem hinteren Ende auf einen an das Schamierteil angeformten Steg abstützt und mit ihrem vorderen Ende einen Nocken beaufschlagt, der an dem Schamierarm im Bereich der diesen lagernden Gelenkachse angeordnet ist. In dem topfförmigen Schamierteil sind nach unten hin zwei auslaufende Schlitze vorgesehen, in denen die Gelenkachse verschieblich geführt und von der Blattfeder gehalten ist. Dieses bekannte Scharnier ist verhältnismäßig aufwendig, weil das topfförmige Schamierteil mit einem besonders angeformten Steg und mit einer Halteeinrichtung für die Blattfeder versehen ist.In a known from US-PS 5,027,474 hinge of a similar kind is cup-shaped hinge part on its side opposite the open side with a bridge on which a leaf spring is supported, located at its rear End supported on an integrally formed on the hinge part web and with her the front end of a cam applied to the hinge arm in the area the bearing of this hinge axis is arranged. In the pot-shaped piece of sham down two slits are provided, in which the hinge axis slidably guided and held by the leaf spring. This known Hinge is relatively expensive, because the cup-shaped hinge part with a specially formed web and with a holding device for the leaf spring is provided.

Ein aus DE 36 01 682 A1 bekanntes Scharnier der eingangs angegebenen Art weist eine Blattfeder auf, deren abgebogenes Ende in einem Schlitz des Bodens des topfförmigen Schamierteils gehalten und deren mittlerer Teil sich gegen einen Zapfen abstützt, der in den Scharniertopf seitlich hereinragt und an einer Seitenwand von diesem befestigt ist. Diese Art der Befestigung der Blattfeder ist ebenfalls aufwendig und gestattet es nur, daß das federnde Ende der Blattfeder von der Öffnungsseite des Scharniertopfs her auf eine Steuerkante des Scharnierarms einwirkt, dessen eingerolltes Ende auf der Gelenkachse gelagert ist.A known from DE 36 01 682 A1 hinge of the type specified has a leaf spring whose bent end in a slot of the bottom held the cup-shaped part of the shaman and the middle part against a Pivot supported, which projects laterally into the hinge pot and on a side wall is attached by this. This type of attachment of the leaf spring is also consuming and only allows that the resilient end of the leaf spring from the opening side the hinge cup acts on a control edge of the hinge arm, whose rolled-up end is mounted on the joint axis.
