Abstract:
1. A hinge for a folding door, comprising: a first abutment part to be attached to a first furniture part; a second abutment part having a first section to be attached to a second furniture part, and having a second section extending from said first section at an angle relative to said first section, said second section including a first component and a second component linearly movable relative to said first component so as to adjust a length of said second section, said second section being pivotally connected to said first abutment part; and a self-locking transmission device on said second section of said second abutment part, said transmission device having a rotatable member and being operable to adjust the length of said second section by converting a rotation of said rotatable member into a longitudinal movement of said second component of said second section of said second abutment part relative to said first component of said second section; wherein said second component of said second section has a pair of guide slits arranged on opposite sides of said second component and each extending in a longitudinal direction of said second component, and said first component has outwardly-projecting guide pins received within said guide slits so as to move through said guide slits as said second component moves linearly relative to said first component.
