Claim:
Mounting plate for adjustably retaining a bracket of a furniture hinge, said mounting plate comprising: a flat base plate for fastening to a supporting wall of a carcass of a piece of furniture, said flat base plate having wing projections which project outward from opposing lateral sides, each of the wing projections having a through-hole for receiving a fixing screw, and a first set of slot-like through-holes situated centrally and longitudinally in said flat base plate, wherein each of the through-holes in the first set extends laterally; an elongate bracket-retaining part situated along a longitudinal center line on an upper face of the base plate and projecting upward between the wing projections, and connected to said flat base plate by connecting elements, said elongate bracket-retaining part being provided with a second set of slot-like through-holes situated centrally and longitudinally, wherein each of the through-holes in the second set extends longitudinally; and a planar adjusting plate which is movable in at least one coordinate direction and adjustably disposed in a flat recess which is provided on a lower face of the base plate, wherein the planar adjusting plate is connected to said flat base plate by the connecting elements and has a thickness which is substantially equal to an internal depth of the flat recess; wherein the connecting elements comprise regions which are shank-shaped and each of the connecting elements has a diameter which is substantially equal to the width of each of the slot-like through-holes of the second set; wherein the planar adjusting plate is moveable to a first position of adjustment in the elongate bracket-retaining part, and is guidable along the flat recess to restrict movement to the first position of adjustment, and wherein the elongate bracket-retaining part is displaceable relative to the flat base plate to a second position of adjustment which extends at right angles to the first position, said elongate bracket-retaining part being displaceable by an amount predetermined by the diameter of each of the slot-like through-holes of the second set.
