Hinge
First Claim
1. A hinge to be employed for mounting a door on an article of furniture, said hinge comprising:
- a base plate to be mounted on the article of furniture;
an intermediate member having a U-shaped configuration defined by two lateral webs joined by a central web, said intermediate member being positionable on said base plate with said two lateral webs embracing said base plate;
a spring mechanism for mounting said intermediate member to said base plate, said spring mechanism including a tilting lever mounted on said intermediate member by a pivot having opposite ends projecting into slots in respective said lateral webs of said intermediate member, and a spring biasing said tilting lever to pivot in a direction to lock said intermediate member on said base plate;
a hinge arm pivotally connected to a hinge fastening part to be mounted on the door, said hinge arm being connected to said intermediate member for selective adjustment relative thereto;
a mechanism for selectively adjusting the position of said hinge arm relative to said intermediate member in a direction longitudinally of said intermediate member, said mechanism including plural projections on said intermediate member, said projections being spaced longitudinally of said intermediate member, and a disk rotatably mounted on said hinge arm, said disk having an upper side having a seat for an adjusting tool, and said disk having a lower side having a cam in the form of a spiral web in engagement with certain said projections, whereby rotation of said disk causes said spiral web to engage with other said projections spaced longitudinally of said certain projections, thus moving said hinge arm longitudinally of said intermediate member.

Abstract
A hinge to mounted door on an article of furniture includes a base plate to be mounted on the article of furniture. An intermediate member is mounted on the base plate by a spring mechanism in the form of a tilting lever mounted on the intermediate member by a pivot and a spring biasing the tilting lever to pivot in a direction to lock the intermediate member on the base plate. A hinge arm is connected to the intermediate member for adjustment relative thereto. A mechanism to selectively adjust the hinge arm relative to the intermediate member in a direction longitudinally of the intermediate member includes plural projections on the intermediate member, the projections being spaced longitudinally of the intermediate member. Such mechanism further includes a disk rotatively mounted on the hinge arm and having an upper side to be engaged by an adjusting tool and a lower side having a cam in the form of a spiral web in engagement with the projections.
