Abstract: Mounting plate for the adjustable mounting of the supporting wall-related part of a cabinet hinge composed of two separable mounting plate members of which the bottom mounting plate member nearer the supporting wall can be fastened fixedly to the supporting wall and the upper mounting plate member more remote from the supporting wall and adjustably mounting the carcase-related part of the cabinet hinge can be joined by a spring catch mechanism to the bottom mounting plate member. The bottom mounting plate member has in its front end area facing the door leaf at least one projecting hook with which a hook receiver on the bottom of the upper mounting plate member is associated.

Abstract: Over-center self-closing hinge for cabinet doors, having an inner link and an outer link in a quadrilateral arrangement and a lever in the form of a hairpin spring fulcrumed at one end in the cabinet-wall-related hinge part and thrusting at right angles to the hinge axis against a cam which is journaled on the inner link and abuts in its one position against the pivot eye of the latter and in its other position against the link itself. The cam is of such a configuration that, when the hinge is moved from the open position to the closed position, just before it reaches the closed position, the line of thrust applied by the hairpin spring passes through the pivot axis of the link, but then the spring passes over onto a portion of the cam associated with the second position of the latter, thereby causing the cam to rock over and alter the line of thrust of the spring such that it seeks to close the hinge.

Abstract: Cabinet hinge whose mounting plate serving for the adjustable attachment of the carcase-related part of the hinge to the carcase of a cabinet is composed of two parts, i.e., of a bottom plate and a top plate. The bottom plate has in its outer end adjacent the door at least one hook rising from the plane in which it is fastened to the carcase and pointing outwardly, which can engage an associated eye in the bottom of the upper plate. The confronting surfaces of engagement between the hook and the eye are of complementary configuration and at least approximately arcuate with the centers of the arcs coinciding approximately with the center of the angular displacement described by the hinge in the first part of its closing movement relative to the door-related part of the hinge. A spring catch mechanism with a handle is provided in the bottom plate for the purpose of the releasable attachment of the top and bottom plates to one another.

Abstract: The insert cup for cabinet hinges is made from stamped and drawn sheet metal and can be sunkenly mounted in a cylindrical mortise in the area adjacent the edge of the inside face of a door leaf. It has a tub- or trough-like portion having on its upper edge a marginal flange which covers the interstice between the tub-like portion and the circumferential wall of the cylindrical mortise and, at least at a sector-shaped portion, lies matingly and flush within the mortise. On the margin of the sector-shaped portion of the flange there are provided integral guiding lugs which are bent downwardly at right angles into the interior of the cylindrical mortise and which center the insert cup in the proper installed position and secure it against displacements in the plane of the door leaf.

The running rail is a hollow rail that is open on one side in a slot running in the direction of movement and has rolling-bearing tracks disposed in a triangle with one another in a cross section through their longitudinal central axes, one of the tracks being provided opposite the slot and the other two tracks being provided on opposite sides laterally of the slot, and the guide rail being provided on its end reaching through the slot into the interior of the running rail with three tracks which confront the tracks of the running rail in the same arrangement.

Abstract: In an adjustable-height mounting plate for cabinet hinges, the mounting plate has a bottom part which can be fastened directly to a cabinet wall, and a top part provided with means for fastening the supporting arm of a cabinet hinge, the top part being mounted on the bottom part through the medium of interfitted guide means for displacement parallel to the hinge pivot axis and for locking at any desired point. When in the superimposed state, each part has an elongated central section from each of whose opposite sides a wing-like projection extends. In one of the wings of the top part there is provided a slot running in the direction of displacement, through which a clamping screw passes when it is driven into a tap in the bottom part to clamp the two parts together.

Abstract: Cabinet hinge whose cabinet-wall-related part in the form of a cantilever arm can be slipped onto a mounting plate installed on the wall of a cabinet and can then be fixed at selected positions on the mounting plate by tightening a screw. The mounting plate bears a resilient catch which, at the beginning of the installation of the cantilever arm engages an abutment on the latter and thus secures it against accidental withdrawal from the mounting plate, without interfering with its movement for longitudinal adjustment on the mounting plate. The catch is provided on a leaf spring which is fastened at one end within the mounting plate while its free end bearing the catch protrudes through an opening in the mounting plate. The arm-holding screw is passed with clearance through an oversize hole in the mounting plate and driven into a threaded eye in the leaf spring.

Abstract: Cabinet hinge whose jamb-related part in the form of an arm can be fastened at selectable positions along the length of a mounting plate attached to a jamb on a cabinet carcase by sliding it onto the mounting plate and then tightening a screw. The mounting plate has a spring catch element which as the installation of the arm begins snaps into a corresponding cutout or recess in the arm of the hinge and thus screws it against accidental withdrawal from the mounting plate, without interfering with its further movement for the purpose of a longitudinal adjustment of the arm on the mounting plate. The spring catch has a prolongation brought out of an opening in the cabinet-interior end of the mounting plate, and this prolongation can be shifted resiliently such that the cooperating abutments of the spring catch and opening become disengaged from one another.

Abstract: In a hinge for hanging flush overlap doors, the door-related hinge part which can be mounted on the door is coupled by an articulation mechanism to a carcase-related hinge part in the form of an elongated supporting arm which in turn is secured to a mounting plate fastened to the door-supporting wall of a cabinet carcase. By means of an adjusting screw thrusting against the supporting arm or against the mounting plate and threaded into the mounting plate or supporting arm, as the case may be, an adjustment of the overlap or coverage dimension of the door on the front edge of the supporting wall is possible. The fastening which secures the supporting arm on the mounting plate is in the form of a pivot system with a pivot axis running parallel to the pivot axis of the articulation mechanism.

Abstract: In a hinge for cabinet doors, a four-joint hinge articulation having two links and a single-arm lever pivotally mounted in the cabinet wall-related hinge part with its free end able to swing in a plane lying at right angles to the axis of the articulation and being urged under resilient bias against the cam face of a cam body disposed in the area of the wall-end pivot eye of the inner link, the cam body is journaled on an axis offset from the pivot axis of the pivot eye of the inner link, and additionally guided for displacement at a distance from the two pivot axes between the pivot eyes on opposite sides of the inner link.

Abstract: A hinge for the hanging of a door, especially an inset or recessed glass door, on the carcase of a piece of furniture has a door-related hinge part which is coupled by a linkage mechanism to a wall-related hinge part which can be fastened to a wall of the carcase.
