Abstract
A hinge includes a hinge arm, a hinge cup, a spring, a retainer, a damper, and an adjusting member. When the hinge cup, which is pivotally connected to the hinge arm, is being closed relative thereto, the spring provides a resilient closing force to complete the closing action. The retainer is mounted in the hinge cup and has a channel. The damper is mounted in the channel and corresponds to the hinge arm to provide a damping force adjustable via the adjusting member, which is movably mounted to the retainer, includes a surface and at least two contact portions differently spaced from the surface, and can be adjusted relative to the retainer so that one of the contact portions corresponds to the damper.
