Abstract:
1. Furniture hinge (for pivotally mounting a door leaf to a cupboard body whose door-side front is narrowed by a frame that projects inwardly at a right angle to the side walls and is formed by frame elements, which frame overlaps at least partially in a closed position with the inside of the door leaf, with a hinge arm made of sheet metal and having on the side facing the cupboard body a mounting plate which can be releaseably secured in superposition with a fastening plate by disposed on the free end face of a frame element of the frame that faces away from the side wall, wherein there is provided in the mounting plate and in the fastening plate at least one elongated through opening extending in the longitudinal direction of the end face of the frame element, through which opening a shank of a fastening screw can be screwed into the frame element, wherein when the fastening screw is unscrewed, the fastening plate is secured for movement in the longitudinal direction of the end face of the frame element, and the mounting plate is secured for movement perpendicular thereto in the transverse direction of the end face on the fastening plate, the fastening screw can be screwed into a fixing tenon, which is fixed in a bore hole disposed in the frame element and from which there protrudes at least one guide projection, which engages in the elongated through opening of the fastening plate and is supported by the side edges of the through opening, an adjusting element which is rotatably supported by a projection in a bearing bore disposed in a front end region of the fixing tenon, wherein the adjusting element comprises an actuating section located above a cam and laterally overlapping the mounting plate proximate to the through opening thereof and having an extension, the peripheral surface of the cam is supported on the longitudinal sides of the through opening of the mounting plate, with the cam having a diameter that is substantially identical to the width of the through opening of the mounting plate and being eccentrically offset relative to the projection, and wherein the head of the fastening screw is screwed in so as to be in clamping engagement with the top side of the actuating section, and wherein the shank of the fastening screw is screwed into the fixing tenon—through a through bore disposed in the adjusting element, wherein the longitudinal center axis of the through bore coincides with the longitudinal center axis of the projection.
