Modelling an Assembly Process

The hinge is composed by two main blocks. The first block features a “Wing” as the main component. That’s the part that usually gets fixed to the internal wall of a piece of furniture through the “Clip”, that is the component that allows to place an external screw (not included in this assembly) for this purpose. The “Clip” is kept in position on the “Wing” by means of a “Screw”. The second block, called “Box” comes preassembled downstream. This is the subassembly that gets fixed by means of two screws to the door leaf. The two blocks are connected by two metal bodies (“Connector 1”, “Connector 2”) through a “Hook”, to constrain the rotation of the “Wing” around the relative pins. In order to improve dampening, a spiral “Spring” is also inserted in this area.
