  • Patent number: 4227284
    Abstract: The invention relates to a base or adjustment plate for a cabinet hinge for the adjustable attachment of a hinge arm to a cabinet part. The base or adjustment plate consists of an intermediate carrier which can be fastened to a cabinet part and of a bearing element which is fastened to the intermediate carrier in a manner such that it is adjustable along a first axis in space extending parallel to the surface of said cabinet part and serves for the adjustable attachment of the hinge arm in at least one second axis in space extending perpendicular to the first, a guide with lateral guide surfaces being formed between the intermediate carrier and the bearing element by at least one recess extending in the direction of said first axis in space and at least one guide extension engaging into the recess, the guide preventing displacement of the bearing element perpendicular to the first axis in space. Means are furthermore provided for pressing the bearing element against the intermediate carrier.

  • Patent number: 4185357
    Abstract: A hinge component for pivotally connecting two parts of a piece of furniture includes a fastener member adapted to be attached to one part of the furniture, a carrier member mounted in the fastener member for adjustable displacement relative thereto along a first axis, and a hinge arm member which carries a hinge shaft defining the pivotal axis of the hinge component. The hinge arm member is mounted in a guide groove formed in the carrier member for adjustable displacement relative thereto along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. After the carrier member is adjusted relative to the fastener member, and the hinge arm member is adjusted relative to the carrier member, the hinge arm member can be clamped between the carrier and fastener members. Thereafter, the hinge arm member can be adjustably displaced relative to both the fastener and carrier members along a third axis perpendicular to both the first and second axis thus providing three degrees of freedom for the hinge shaft.
