Abstract
An adjustable base plate for fastening a hinge to a furniture part embodies a base plate having at least one fastening hole therein for receiving an insert which is displaceable in the lengthwise direction of the fastening hole. The insert has a center hole of a pre-determined diameter along the longitudinal axis of the insert adapted to receive a threaded fastening screw. The fastening screw has a collar of a pre-determined diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the center hole in the area of the fastening hole of the base plate. The insert has a top part for engagement in the fastening hole of the base plate and a bottom part joined to the top part by a breakable connection adaptable to be broken by the threads of the fastening screw. The bottom part is adapted to be inserted in a hole in the furniture part and to expand into frictional engagement with the side walls of the hole in the furniture part upon insertion of the fastening screw.
