A dampened hinge assembly has a male leaf and a female leaf. The female leaf has spaced apart first and second end barrels coaxially rotating with respect to a central barrel of the male leaf therebetween. An axial shaft is fixed to the second end barrel of the female leaf at a proximal end of the axial shaft. The axial shaft has a distal helicoidally threaded spindle. A compression gear having a helicoidally threaded bore matching the helicoidal thread of the spindle displaces towards the first end barrel when the leaves move into alignment and towards the second end barrel when the leaves move out of alignment. The dampened hinge assembly may be reconfigured to provide soft closure, end-of-range soft closure and/or backcheck damping.

HINGE

In an assembled state of a hinge, the hinge is configured to be capable of adjusting a rotational position when holding a door or the like. The hinge includes a first member () and a second member () which are rotatable relative to each other. A first cam () is provided on the first member (), a second cam () is provided on the second member () so as to be non-rotatable and movable in an axial direction thereof, and the second cam () is biased to the first cam () by biasing means () in the axial direction. The first cam () and the second cam () are configured to hold the second cam () in a predetermined rotational position relative to the first cam () by biasing force of the biasing means (). In the assembled state of the hinge, it is possible to adjust the rotational position of the first cam () relative to the first member (). The holding force of the first member () to the first cam () is larger than the holding force of the first cam () to the second cam () in a circumferential direction thereof. 1. A hinge including a first member and a second member which are rotatable relative to each other , the hinge comprising:a first cam provided on the first member;a second cam provided on the second member so as to be non-rotatable and movable in an axial direction thereof; andbiasing means for biasing the second cam to the first cam in the axial direction,wherein the first cam and the second cam are configured to be capable of holding the second cam in a predetermined rotational position relative to the first cam by biasing force of the biasing means,wherein a rotational position of the first cam relative to the first member is adjustable in an assembled state of the hinge, andwherein the holding force of the first member to the first cam is larger than the holding force of the first cam to the second cam in a circumferential direction thereof.2. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the biasing means biases the first cam to the first member via the second cam ...
