  • Patent number: 4412366
    Abstract: A hinge for furniture doors is adjustable in three directions, i.e. in the direction of the depth of an article of furniture, in the direction of the height of the article of furniture and in the direction of the breadth of the door joint. Adjustment is effected by moving a hinge arm of the hinge with respect to a base plate on which the hinge arm is mounted. The hinge arm has a U-shaped cross section. A guiding member which is a rhomboid plate or a rectangular plate with oblique slots is positioned in the U of the hinge arm and has oblique faces sliding along corresponding faces on the base plate. Side edges of the guiding member slide along side flanges of the hinge arm. For height adjustment the hinge arm is not moved on a straight line but along a curve or two straight lines that are at an angle to each other.
