Claims

1) A connection for hinges having two elements which can rotate relative to one another, the connection being designed to stably engage with a first of said elements and comprising a box-shaped body having a base wall and two parallel lateral walls, there being the possibility of stably connecting it to a fixed frame of an electrical appliance, wherein at least one of the lateral walls of the box-shaped body comprises a first deformed portion projecting into the box-shaped body, said first portion forming a stop element for the first of the two elements of the hinge.

2) The connection for hinges according to claim 1, wherein each of the lateral walls comprises a respective first projecting deformed portion.

3) The connection according to claim 2, wherein the first deformed portions are opposite one another.

4) The connection for hinges according to any of the claims from 1 to 3, wherein at least one of the lateral walls comprises a second deformed portion projecting into the box-shaped body and forming a guide element for the first element, facilitating insertion of the latter in the box-shaped body.

5) The connection for hinges according to claim 4, wherein each of the lateral walls comprises a respective second deformed portion projecting into the box-shaped body.

6) The connection for hinges according to claim 5, wherein the second deformed portions are opposite one another.

7) The connection for hinges according to any of the claims from 1 to 6, wherein the first deformed portion comprises at least one sharp edge.

8) The connection for hinges according to any of the claims from 1 to 6, wherein the first deformed portion has the shape of a cylindrical segment and has a first and a second sharp edge.

9) The connection for hinges according to any of the claims from 4 to 6, wherein the second deformed portion has the shape of a spherical cap.

10) The connection for hinges according to any of the claims from 1 to 9, wherein the box-shaped body extends substantially longitudinally in a predetermined direction and has a substantially C-shaped cross-section.

11) The connection for hinges according to any of the claims from 1 to 10, wherein the box-shaped body is made of sheet metal.

12) Electrical appliance according to any of the claims from 1 to 11, wherein it comprises at least a connection for hinges.
