Abstract
The furniture hinge with snap closure has a housing that can be sunk in a recess of a door part and articulates with a hinge arm through at least one joint plate, the hinge arm being detachably connectable with a mounting plate fastened to the furniture part by two or more fastening and adjusting screws. The connection between the hinge arm and the mounting plate on the furniture side is designed as a snap closure with a spring-loaded rotary slider pivoting at the end of the furniture-side part of the hinge away from the door. The furniture-side mounting plate has a two-part design, the bottom section bearing the spring-loaded rotary slider and the top section being connected with the hinge arm. Form-fitting connections are arranged between the top section and the bottom section of the mounting plate that center automatically in both the direction of the longitudinal axis of the hinge and in the direction vertical thereto when the two sections are guided toward each other in order to close the hinge.
