Abstract
A furniture hinge (10) for hanging a door (12) on a cabinet carcase, whose door-related member (18) is configured as a hinge cup which can be set into a mortise (16) in the inside of the door (12), the hinge cup being composed of the actual cup part (20) lying within the mortise and a mounting flange (22) which can be placed on the area of the inside of the door adjoining the door mortise. In the mounting flange at least one slot (24) running at right angles to the adjacent edge of the door is provided for a mounting screw which can be driven into the door. The cup part (20) engaging in the mortise (16) is undersized with respect to the door mortise such that, when the mounting screw is loosened it can be shifted in the mortise by a given amount at right angles to the door edge. In the cup part (20) at least one spring (32) thrusting against the wall of the mortise (16) is provided, which urges the cup part (20) to a defined initial position within the mortise (16) when the mounting screw or screws (26) are loosened.
