Self-Close and Slow-Close Hinge
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 rotatable with respect to a second portion between an open position and a closed position. The self-close mechanism applies a closing force on the first portion from an opened angle of rotation between the first portion and the second portion to the closed position having a 0° angle of rotation between the first portion and the second portion. The closing force urges the first portion to the closed position. The slow-close mechanism applies a damping force on the first portion from the opened angle of rotation between the first portion and the second portion to the closed position. The damping force slows a rotational speed of the first portion to the closed position.
