Abstract
An adjustable hinge for mounting a door on a frame of a furniture article includes a hinge arm with a first end portion articulated to the first hinge and with a second end portion on which is formed an adjustment member with a threaded adjustment screw opening and a pair of opposing lateral edge portions with depending flanges, each having a recess with a forward end having an abutment surface and a rearward end having a hook. The hinge also includes a second hinge member having portions defining an adjustment screw opening and a pair of opposing lateral edge portions with upstanding flanges, each of which has a forward projection and a rearward projection. The rearward projection pivotably engages the hook of the recess in the depending flange of the adjustment member with the forward projection confronting the abutment surface of the recess of the depending ledge of the adjustment member. Threaded adjustment of an adjustment screw received in the adjustment screw opening of the second hinge member and threaded into the threaded adjustment screw opening of the adjustment member causes the adjustment plate to pivot relative to the second hinge member about the rearward projections on the upstanding flanges of the second hinge member.
