Abstract

A furniture hinge with a door-leaf attachment part (1) for fastening to a door leaf (36) and a carcass attachment part (2) connected to the hinge so that it can pivot for fastening to a furniture carcass (37). At least one functional unit (3) influences a pivoting movement between the door-leaf attachment part (1) and the carcass attachment part (2). The carcass attachment part (2) has a first component (4) and at least one second component (5), and the first component (4) is supported on the second component (5) at least by at least one adjustment device (6), and a relative position of the first component (4) to the second component (5) can be adjusted with the adjustment device (6). The functional unit (3) has a first functional element (8) and at least one second functional element (9), the first functional element (8) is supported so that it can move relative to the second functional element (9), and the first functional element (8) is fastened to or supported on the adjustment device (6).

Claims

1. A furniture hinge comprising a door-leaf attachment part (1) for fastening to a door leaf (36) and a carcass attachment part (2) connected thereto so that it can pivot for fastening of a furniture carcass (37), and at least one functional unit (3) for influencing a pivoting movement between the door-leaf attachment part (1) and the carcass attachment part (2), the carcass attachment part (2) has a first component (4) and at least one second component (5) and the first component (4) is supported on the second component (5) at least by at least one adjustment device (6) and a relative position of the first component (4) to the second component (5) can be adjusted with the adjustment device (6), the functional unit (3) has a first functional element (8) and at least one second functional element (9), wherein the first functional element (8) is supported so that it can move relative to the second functional element (9), and the first functional element (8) is fastened to or supported on the adjustment device (6).

2. The furniture hinge according to claim 1, wherein the first functional element (8) is connected to at least one of the first or second component (4, 5) of the carcass attachment part (2) via the adjustment device (6).

3. The furniture hinge according to claim 1, wherein forces appearing on the first functional element (8) can be introduced via the adjustment device (6) into the first or second component (4, 5) of the carcass attachment part (2).

4. The furniture hinge according to claim 1, wherein the first functional element (8) is fastened to or supported in an articulated manner on the adjustment device (6) by at least one joint (10).

5. The furniture hinge according to claim 4, wherein the joint (10) has a spherical-head receptacle (11), and a spherical head (12) is supported in the receptacle so that it can move.

6. The furniture hinge according to claim 1, wherein the first functional element (8) is fastened to or supported in an articulated manner on the adjustment device (6) directly by exactly one joint (10).

7. The furniture hinge according to claim 6, wherein the joint (10) has a spherical-head receptacle (11), and a spherical head (12) supported in this receptacle so that it can move.

8. The furniture hinge according to claim 7, wherein the spherical-head receptacle (11) is fastened to the adjustment device (6) and the spherical head (12) is fastened directly to the first functional element (8) or the spherical-head receptacle (11) is fastened directly to the first functional element (8) and the spherical head (12) is fastened directly to the adjustment device (6).

9. The furniture hinge according to claim 8, wherein the spherical-head receptacle (11) is fastened to the adjustment device (6) so that it can rotate.

10. The furniture hinge according to claim 8, wherein the spherical-head receptacle (11) is fastened directly to the adjustment device (6).

11. The furniture hinge according to claim 1, wherein the door-leaf attachment part (1) is hinged on the first component (4) of the carcass attachment part (2) so that it can pivot and the second component (5) of the carcass attachment part (2) is fastened directly or under intermediate connection of additional components to at least one bracket (13) for fastening to the furniture carcass (37), and the bracket (13) allows or has a fastening face (14) for contact on the furniture carcass (37).

12. The furniture hinge according to claim 11, wherein the fastening face (14) is flat.

13. The furniture hinge according to claim 11, wherein with the adjustment device (6), a distance between the first component (4) and the second component (5) can be adjusted in at least one direction (15) normal to the fastening face (14) or in a direction (16, 16′
