Abstract
A hinge to be mounted on a frame of a piece of furniture includes a hinge arm which is mounted on a mounting plate and is lockable on the mounting plate. The hinge arm is articulated by means of at least one hinge axle to a hinge member which is fastenable to a door. The hinge arm or the mounting plate is provided with pegs having slots into which a spring activated latching member which is movable parallel to the mounting plate is engageable, thus locking the hinge arm to the mounting plate. The mounting plate and the hinge arm are of rectangular configuration with two longer sides and two shorter sides, whereby the longer sides of the mounting plate and the hinge arm are aligned parallel to the hinge axis. The mounting plate is provided on its longer sides with webs extending perpendicular to the mounting plate for abutment with the frame when in mounted position. The latching member is provided with a handle situated at one of the long sides of the hinge arm.
