A hinge for anchoring a door leaf () to a frame () of an item of furniture has a base plate () that may be secured to the frame () and an intermediate piece () on which there is mounted a hinge arm () connected to a hinge pot () that may be secured to the door leaf () by way of at least one articulating pin (). An adjusting and/or fixing mechanism is provided by means of which the hinge arm () may be fixed in different positions on the intermediate piece (). The intermediate piece () is provided with a bracket () that has lateral marginal projections () and is punched out of the intermediate piece (). The hinge arm () has a region that is C-shaped in cross-section. Inwardly directed projections () of this region reach behind the marginal projections (') of the bracket (), as a result of which the hinge arm () is anchored to the bracket ().

Hinge

A hinge for connecting a door to a piece of furniture with a frame includes a base plate mounted on the frame. The base plate bears a hinge arm to which a hinge boss is connected by a hinge pin. The base plate is fixed to the frame by a fixing screw. The base plate is provided with a bridge spanning the hinge arm, and an adjustment device is provided for adjusting the position of the hinge arm on the base plate.

Hinge for furniture

A hinge for articulating a door to a frame of a piece of furniture includes a base plate mounted on the frame. The base plate bears a hinge arm to which a hinge boss is articulated by a hinge pin. The base plate is fixed to the frame by a fixing screw. An eccentric is mounted in the base plate and enables the position of the hinge arm on the base plate to be adjusted.

A hinge pot has a housing which can be inserted into a bore in a furniture part and dowel-type expandable clamping jaws which can be inserted in the bore and which can be pressed against the bore wall by way of expanding members constructed as tie rods. The expanding members are movable by way of an eccentric lever in the direction of insertion of the hinge pot perpendicular to the plane of mounting thereof. The clamping jaws are cylinder sections of visco-elastic material. The expanding members are metal, are located between the hinge pot and the respective clamping jaws, and have hooks at their free ends. Opposite the hooks are provided contact pressure cams which are supported against a housing wall of the hinge pot.

Hinge pot

A hinge for an article of furniture having a frame and a door includes a frame-side base plate with a hinge arm and which base plate embraces the frame in the manner of a U by means of two side webs and a central connection web. the hinge arm and a hinge pot are connected to one another by means of an articulated spindle. At least one securing screw secures the base plate to the frame by projecting through the central connection web. At least one claw directed towards the frame is constructed on the side web of the base plate which bears against the inside of the frame.

Furniture hinge including base plate with claw member

A hinge has a hinge arm which is connected by hinge links with a hinge casing and is mounted on a mounting plate by a joint adjusting screw and a depth adjusting screw. The hinge arm is, at an end thereof which is close to the pivot axis of the hinge, engageable with the mounting plate by a rigid hook and is pivotable about this point of engagement. At its opposite end, the hinge arm has structure forming a resilient snap connection which engages the mounting plate and maintains the hinge arm mounted on the mounting plate. The structure forming the resilient snap connection has extending therefrom a handle member for enabling the resilient snap connection to be released by lifting the handle member away from the mounting plate.

Divider for use in a storage drawer

A hinge, in particular a one-axle hinge, includes a hinge arm mountable to a furniture wall and at least one hinge casing which is on the side of a door. The hinge casing is linked to the hinge arm and an inner coupling member insertable therein. A clamping screw holds the coupling member. The coupling member is lockable in the hinge casing by a locking member which is a spring or has spring acting parts or which is acted upon by a spring.

A wide-angle hinge for furniture doors, comprising a hinge boss fittable into a door wing and a hinge arm fastenable to a furniture side wall. The hinge boss and the hinge arm are connected to each other by means of hinge links which cross in a scissor-like manner. The latter-mentioned are provided with a locking means which is insurpassable, when the hinge is opened, but removable. The locking means is formed by a bracket fitted onto one of the hinge links which cross in a scissor-like manner.

Wide-angle hinge

A hinge includes a hinge arm adapted to be snapped onto a mounting plate. The front of the hinge arm is directly or by an intermediate member indirectly engageable into the mounting plate, and the rear of the hinge arm has a tilting lever at which a hook member is formed by which the tilting lever is lockable to the mounting plate. When a door is mounted to the body of an article of furniture, the hinge arm can be engaged into the mounting plate and then fastened thereto simply by applying pressure. Canting of the hinge arm at the mounting plate is prevented.

Furniture hinge including hinge arm releasably connected to mounting

A hinge includes a hinge arm to be connected with a second hinge part by hinge links. The hinge arm is provided at the front thereof with a joint adjusting screw for engagement with a mounting plate. The rear of the hinge arm is provided with a clamping screw which permits a depth adjustment and extends through a rearwardly open slot in the hinge arm. The clamping screw connects the hinge arm with an intermediate member which carries a tensioning lever which is acted upon by a spring. The tensioning lever holds the intermediate member with the hinge arm on the mounting plate in a clamping arrangement.
