The invention relates to a hinge assembly (1; 1') for pivotably coupling two components in an aircraft or spacecraft cabin, in particular for pivotably attaching a door (107) of an overhead storage compartment (102). The hinge assembly comprises a first hinge part (2) and a second hinge part (3) arranged and coupled so as to be pivotable relative to each other about a hinge axis (A), an elastic element (5) capable of providing an elastic torque about the hinge axis (A), and a torque-adjustment piece (6; 6', 6a', 6b'). The elastic element is coupled to each of the first hinge part and the torque-adjustment piece in a torque-transmitting manner. The hinge assembly includes a positive engagement device (7; 7') configured to be kept positively engaged by elastic action so as to prevent a rotation of the torque-adjustment piece at least in a first direction of rotation (R1), and capable of being disengaged against the elastic action so as to enable a rotation of the torque-adjustment piece in a second direction of rotation (R2) opposite to the first direction of rotation (R1) against a torque provided by the elastic element in order to apply a torsional pre-load to the elastic element.
