1. A hinge for a device, comprising:
a base element;
a hinge arm, which is connected to the base element pivotably around a first pivot axis in relation to the base element;
a transfer element, which is retained on the base element rotatably around a rotational axis in relation to the base element;
a spring;
an actuation element coupled to the spring, which actuation element is coupled to the transfer element in articulated manner and displaceable in guided manner along a guide of the base element, such that by displacement of the actuation element effected along the guide, the spring is configured to be loaded and unloaded; and
a lever element, which is connected to the transfer element pivotably around a second pivot axis in relation to the transfer element and to the hinge arm pivotably around a third pivot axis in relation to the hinge arm, such that by pivoting the hinge arm effected around the first pivot axis and in relation to the base element, the transfer element is drivable by the hinge arm via the lever element and thereby rotatable around the rotational axis in relation to the base element, whereby the actuation element is drivable by the transfer element and thereby displaceable along the guide in relation to the base element;
wherein the base element comprises a second guide, wherein the transfer element and the rotational axis are displaceable in guided manner along the second guide of the base element.
