La cartuccia oleodinamica
integrata nella cerniera Soft
Close.
The oleodynamic cartridge
integrated in a Soft Close
hinge by Friges.
Soft-close
means
controlled seat fall: thanks to a special
oleodynamic cartridge integrated
in the hinge’s body, the seat and
the cover can close slowly, with no
intervention by the user. Laboratory
testing showed a correct working
of the cartridge even after long
periods of time, guaranteeing at least
50.000 opening / closing cycles: this
shows how extremely reliable and
durable the product can be, also in
stressful environments (public places,
hospitals, communities). Soft Close is
a simple device enhancing the value
of the bathroom: for example, this
mechanism can prevent unpleasing
domestic incidents, especially when
there are children around who can
hurt their hands with a normal toilet
seat. The positive feedback achieved
so far led Friges to develop a set of soft
close hinges also for the thermosetting
toilet seat: in this case, the cartridge
can be directly incorporated in the
toilet seat itself, making the aesthetic
impact of the soft close system even
less relevant.

Grazie all’esclusiva soluzione studiata
da Friges, è possibile montare
alternativamente
una
cerniera
tradizionale (foto 2) o una cerniera
Soft Close (foto 3) sullo stesso sedile.
L’ampio alloggiamento, che nel
primo caso permette l’utilizzo di una
normale cerniera in acciaio in funzione
del pratico adattatore in plastica, fa
sì che il peso del sistema Soft Close
sull’intero sedile sia pari a zero.
Interchangeable System
Soft Close for thermosetting toilet seats too
The exclusive solution designed by Friges makes the same toilet seat suitable to the
installation of either a traditional (picture 2) or a Soft Close (picture 3) hinge. The wide
hole, which in the first case allows the use of a normal steel hinge thanks to the plastic
adapter provided, consistently reduces Soft Close hinge’s weight on toilet seat’s overall
aesthetics.
