Abstract: A hinge bracket-mounting plate assembly comprises a detent nose carried at the end of a spring-loaded detent lever and also has a detent opening or detent abutment. When the hinge bracket has been inserted into a track of the mounting plate and pushed along the latter, the detent nose snaps into the detent opening or against the detent abutment to releasably lock the parts together. The extent to which the hinge bracket can be pushed along the mounting plate is limited by a stop, which becomes effective when the detent nose snaps or after it has snapped into the detent opening or against the detent abutment. To eliminate backlash, the detent nose has an engaging side face, which bears on an edge or surface of the detent opening or detent abutment to force a stop carried by the hinge bracket or the mounting plate into backlash-free engagement with a complementary stop carried by the other part.

Abstract: In the hinge bracket-mounting plate assembly the mounting plate is provided on both sides with parallel guiding grooves, in which sliding lugs angled inwardly from the flanges of the channel-shaped hinge bracket are slidable as far as stops formed by end faces of the grooves, and detents are provided for releasably locking the hinge bracket to the mounting plate. The mounting bracket is formed with a recess, which extends transversely to and connects the guiding grooves. Two sliding plates are provided, which overlap each other in the middle region of the mounting plate and are guided in the recess and formed with two substantially diagonal slots, which cross each other and extend between parts of diagonally opposite corner portions of respective sliding plates. The mounting plate is formed in its center plane between the guiding grooves with a bore, which is parallel to said grooves.

Abstract: A concealed furniture hinge which comprises a stationary hinge portion and a cup-shaped pivotable hinge portion, both pivotally interconnected by two links to form a four-bar linkage. The stationary hinge portion comprises a securing plate and two parallel upstanding bearing flanges. Pivot pins for the respective links are secured in the bearing flanges at a height so that, when the hinge is closed, they project into the cup-shaped hinge portion to at least beneath the top of a securing flange thereof. Said securing flange comprises at least one flat member which, in the closed hinge condition, is disposed adjacent the securing plate of the stationary hinge portion.
