Abstract
A wide angle hinge includes an assembly casing fastenable on a cabinet carcass and having front and back slots which engage corresponding front and back pins connected to a hinge arm, so that the hinge arm is slidable and rotatable relative to the assembly casing. The hinge arm is also connected by an articulation arm to a hinge cup fastenable in a door. A pull mechanism is fastened on one end in the assembly casing and on the other end in the hinge cup, and a deflection roller disposed in the assembly casing and the articulation arm cooperatively guide and continuously hold the pull mechanism under tension.
