Abstract: A fastening plate for fastening a hinge arm to a supporting wall of a piece of furniture includes two oblong holes on an common centerline through which fastening screws engage. One fastening screw is supported with its head on a spacer element having a height greater than that of the fastening plate, and another fastening screw braces the fastening plate against the supporting wall. The height of the spacer element is greater than that of the fastening plate so that a slight amount of play is provided between the head of the fastening screw supported on the spacer element and the surface of the fastening plate, so that the fastening plate can be moved for adjustment while any undesired lifting of the fastening plate is prevented.

Abstract: A driving-in tool for a furniture part which can be fitted in place by at least one rotating lever, is provided in which the driving-in tool possesses a centering part shaped in accordance with the fitting part to be connected and serving as an insertion guide, and a spring or spring-loaded holding part supporting the rotating lever in its open position.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a wide-angle hinge having articulated arms in the form of U-shaped profiled levers, the lateral sides of which are offset from one another and with U-shaped profiled transverse swinging arms being articulated to the levers with the same offset. In an open position, hinge pins of both levers lie in an approximately cylindrical shell, the axis of which lies on the outer side of the hinge portions.

Abstract: An adjustable hinge arm with a U-shaped profile is supported on a base plate which can be fastened to a wall by its rear end portion remote from the joint and a setscrew screwed into this. A fastening screw is screwed into the base plate between the end portion and the setscrew. To allow in a simple design the angle of the hinge arm to the base plate to be adjusted for a side adjustment only by actuating a setscrew, a bottom plate is supported with its one end on the rear end section of the hinge arm, on the front end of which bottom plate the setscrew is pivoted and supported in an axially unmovable manner. The hinge arm is provided in the area of the fastening screw with a cutout in its leg portion. The fastening screw engages a hole in the middle section of the bottom plate and is supported with its head on the edge of said hole.

Abstract: A base plate for fixing a hinge arm on furniture is constituted by a support plate (2) which can be fixed to a support wall, a covering plate (3) at least partially covering the support plate and transversely guided thereon and having fixing devices for attaching the hinge arm. Pre-mounted fixing screws (23,23') are partially screwed in the holes (20,21) of the support plate (2) and go through oblong holes (15,16) provided in the covering plate (3). In order to let the covering plate be transversely moved, easily and by economical means, and in order to prevent the support plate from separating from the covering plate before the mounting of the base plate, one hole (20) of the support plate (2) is at least partially surrounded by guide sockets (24) that go through the corresponding oblong hole (15) of the covering plate and slightly protrude from its upper edge.

Abstract: For mounting a folding/sliding door, a support is connected to a hinge arm of a hinger mounted in the upper outer end area of an outer door leaf in a position in which the side of the retaining part that attaches to the hinge arm is located in the extension of the bearing part. The folding/sliding door can then be joined by its inner leaf via hinges, preferentially standard double-link hinges, to a side panel of the body. The pre-fitted support, already connected to the hinge arm of the outer door leaf, can then be introduced and locked into the guide channel together with its carriage part. First, the carriage part is swiveled through 90 degrees around the retaining part so as to position the carriage part within the longitudinal slot of the guide channel. The carriage part is then locked in place by turning the hammer-shaped head through 90 degrees by means of its supporting pin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a retaining fastening for a flap pivotable around a horizontal swivel axis hinged to a top panel of a cupboard and having a lever pivotably connectable to a body part of the cupboard. A free end of the lever is guided in a rail which can be fixed to an inside of the flap at right angles to the swivel axis. The lever is acted upon by a spring-loaded device preferably having a rod which can be travelled into or out of a spring housing by pneumatic or elastic force.In accordance with the invention, the lever is a two-armed bent lever (8) whose swivel axis (7) is situated between the lever arms (9, 10), whose longer lever arm (10) is guided in the rail (17) and onto whose shorter lever arm (9) extending into the inside of the cupboard in the closed state of the flap (16, 32), one end of the spring-loaded device (5, 12) is hinged with other end being pivotably connected to the furniture body.
