Abstract

There is described a hinge assembly (6, 6’, 6’’) for a domestic appliance (1), in particular an oven, for the treatment of food products. The hinge assembly (6, 6’, 6’’) comprises a first coupling body (15) configured to be coupled to a main body (2) of the domestic appliance (1), a connection unit (16) removably connected to the first coupling body (15), a second coupling body (17) configured to be coupled to a door (4) of the domestic appliance (1) and being pivoted to the connection unit (16) and is configured to angularly move around a first pivot axis (B) so as to control the second coupling body (17) between at least a first angular position and a second angular position and a locking unit (18) pivoted to the connection unit (16) and angularly moveable around a second pivot axis (C) and moveable between at least an active angular position at which the locking unit (18) is configured to interact with the first coupling body (15) and a rest angular position. The locking unit (18) comprises an engagement surface (28) configured to abut against an abutment surface (29) of the first coupling body (15) with the locking unit (18) being in the active angular position so as to generate a locking force for impeding detachment of the connection unit (16) from the first coupling body (15) and the abutment surface (29) and the engagement surface (28) are complementary to one another and/or are parallel to one another with the locking unit (18) being in the active angular position.
