Abstract
An articulated hinge for the pivotal connection of a door leaf to the carcass of a furniture piece from whose carcass wall a frame protrudes at right angles, which frame has an end face delimiting an unobstructed door opening. The hinge has a door-related mounting part pivotally connected via a link mechanism with a carcass-related mounting part which comprises a flange plate which holds the linkage mechanism and which is detachably connectable to the end face of the frame. Below the bottom side of the flange plate facing the frame end face there is an adjustment plate which is displaceable by a predetermined measure relative to the flange plate in the longitudinal direction of the frame end face. The surfaces of the flange plate and the adjustment plate which face each other are provided with at least one complementary inclined ramp surface each, which upon displacement of the adjustment plate relative to the flange plate slide on each other up and down, respectively, and effect a change in the distance of the flange plate from the end face of the frame and thereby a corresponding change of the measure of the overlap of the frame by the engaged door leaf.
