  • another elastic abutment element may be provided between the piston 50 and the bottom 15 within the housing 13.
  • the second stop element 55b is formed as an elastomeric ring and surrounds the piston rod 24.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 A fourth embodiment of the invention is described. Identical parts are given the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, to the description of which reference is hereby made. Structurally different parts, but functionally similar parts receive the same reference numerals with a c.
  • the main difference with respect to the first embodiment is that the second spring-mounting holes 42c are formed as a slot, wherein the associated second spring-element pin 39c is fixed relative to these.
  • the hinge arrangement 1c has a cross-sectionally U-shaped retaining clip 66 with a first retaining clip wall 67, a parallel thereto extending second retaining clip wall 68 and a this connecting third retaining clip wall 69.
  • the retaining clip 66 is disposed between the hinge element walls 6c, 7c of the first hinge element 5c.
  • the first and second holding-bracket wall 67, 68 have for performing the second spring-element pin 39c each have a holding-bracket bore 70, wherein the holding-bracket holes 70 are substantially congruent.
  • the second spring-element pin 39c is defined by the second spring-mounting hole 42c of the first link-element wall 6c, the retaining-pin holes 70, and the second Spring mounting hole 42c of the second link element wall 7c out, wherein the second spring element pin 39c by a comparison with the second spring mounting holes 42c larger bolt head 77 and a securing ring 78 against Displacement along the second spring-pivot axis 43 is secured.
  • the second spring element pin 39c is arranged in the retaining clip holes 70 substantially free of play.
  • the fixing hook 37 of the spring member 36 is fixed in a bolt groove of the second spring-element pin 39c.
  • the hinge arrangement 1c has an adjusting screw 71.
  • the adjusting screw 71 is guided by a setting screw hole 72 on a fourth link element wall 73 of the first link element 5c.
  • the fourth link element wall 73 connects the first and second link element walls 6c, 7c and is disposed substantially perpendicular to the third link element wall 8c.
  • the adjusting screw 71 is secured by means of a securing ring 74 in the adjusting screw hole 72.
  • the adjusting screw 71 has an adjusting screw external thread 75 which is screwed into a retaining clip female thread 76.
  • the retaining clip female thread 76 is formed centrally in the third retaining clip wall 69 and opposite the setting screw bore 72.
  • the adjusting screw 71 By means of the adjusting screw 71 is a pivot point displacement, ie a displacement of the second spring-pivot axis 43, the first spring-link connection 44c possible. If the second spring-pivoting axis 43 is displaced by means of the adjusting screw 71 in the direction of the refrigerator door 4, then the opening and closing behavior of the refrigerator door changes 4 such that the automatic closing of the refrigerator door 4 starts later and the automatic opening of the refrigerator door 4 earlier. If the second spring pivot axis 43 is displaced by means of the adjusting screw 71 in the direction of the fourth link element wall 73, then the opening and closing behavior of the refrigerator door 4 changes such that the automatic closing of the refrigerator door 4 starts earlier, the automatic opening of the refrigerator door 4 later.
  • the adjusting screw 71 can thus be made an individual fine tuning of the opening and closing behavior of the hinge assembly 1c. This can be done for example during assembly of the hinge assembly 1c or by the later user.
  • an eccentric can also be used.
  • first spring-mounting holes 40d are formed as a slot, wherein the associated first spring-element pin 38d is fixed relative to these.
  • a retaining clip 66d is provided, which is disposed between the first and second fastening element wall 27d, 28d of the second fastening element 26d.
  • the retaining clip 66d is by means of the adjusting screw 71d along the central longitudinal axis 14 displaced, wherein the adjusting screw hole 72 d is arranged in the third mounting element wall 29 d.
  • the adjusting screw 71d is a pivot point displacement of the second spring-hinge connection 45d possible, that is, the first spring-pivot axis 41 along the central longitudinal axis 14 is displaced. If the first spring-element pin 38d is displaced in the direction of the housing 13 by means of the adjusting screw 71d, the spring force of the spring element 36 is thereby increased, as a result of which a greater closing force during the automatic closing of the refrigerator door 4 acts on it.
