Abstract:
Cabinet hinge comprising a hinge arm, an adjusting plate, and a fastening baseplate, the hinge arm having one end fastened on a hinge cup, and another end connected to one side of the adjusting plate, the adjusting plate also having an opposite side which engages the fastening baseplate through a snap-on connection secured by a resilient component member of the adjusting plate, wherein the hinge arm can be slidably adjusted by means of the adjusting plate, and wherein the adjusting plate engages the fastening baseplate by means of a plurality of hook-shaped shanks formed on the adjusting plate and disposed toward the side of the adjusting plate which engages the fastening baseplate, and wherein a force applied to the side of the adjusting plate which is connected to the hinge arm produces a forced sliding motion of the adjusting plate relative to the fastening baseplate such that at least one of the hook-shaped shanks engages a corresponding at least one catch nose projection of the fastening baseplate so that the resilient component on the adjusting plate stably secures the connection between the adjusting plate and the fastening baseplate against further sliding motion of the adjusting plate relative to the fastening baseplate.
