Abstract
A baseplate assembly for mounting a hinge bracket of a furniture hinge has a base plate, which is to be secured to a carrying wall or the like by fixing screws, and a cover plate, which covers or partly overlaps the base plate and is guided on the base plate transversely to the hinge bracket. The hinge bracket, which is connected to the base plate by a retaining screw or rivet and by a headed clamp screw, which is screwed into a tapped bore in the base plate and extends through a slot that is formed in the cover plate and is parallel to the direction in which the cover plate is guided on the base plate.
Claims15
A base plate assembly for mounting a hinge bracket of a furniture hinge, said base plate assembly comprises a base plate, which is adapted to be secured to a carrying wall by mechanical fastners, and a cover plate having an elongated projection, said cover plate at least partly covers the base plate and is guided on the same transversely to the elongated projection and provided with means for fixing the hinge bracket, the cover plate is connected to the base plate by retaining means and by a headed clamp screw, the headed clamp screw is screwed into a tapped bore in the base plate and extends through a slot that is formed in the cover plate and is parallel to the direction in which the cover plate is guided on the base plate, characterized in that the retaining means consist of a rivet, which has a manufactured head and a shank that is riveted to one of the base plate and the cover plate and extends through a second slot, which is formed in the respective other plate to which the shank is not riveted and said second slot is parallel to the direction in which the cover plate is guided on the base plate, and the diameter of the manufactured head exceeds the width of the second slot, further characterized in that the clamp screw extends through a slot formed at a lower end of the intermediate portion of the cover plate.
A base plate assembly for mounting a hinge, bracket of a furniture hinge, said base plate assembly comprises a base plate, which is adapted to be secured to a carrying wall by mechanical fastners, and a cover plate, which at least partly covers the base plate and is guided on the same transversely to the hinge bracket and provided with means for fixing the hinge bracket, the cover plate is connected to the base plate by retaining means and by a headed clamp screw, the headed clamp screw is screwed into a tapped bore in the base plate and extends through a slot that is formed in the cover plate and is parallel to the direction in which the cover plate is guided on the base plate, characterized in that the retaining means consist of a rivet, which has a manufactured head and a shank that is riveted to one of the base plate and the cover plate and extends through a second slot, which is formed in the respective other plate to which the shank is not riveted and said second slot is parallel to the direction in which the cover plate is guided on the base plate, and the diameter of the manufactured head exceeds the width of the second slot, further characterized in that the rivet is riveted to the base plate, and still further characterized in that the base plate and the cover plate are formed each with lateral extensions so that each of said plates is substantially cross-shaped, the shank of the rivet has a reduced end portion, which adjoins a step formed by an annular shoulder, said reduced end portion is riveted in a bore of one lateral extension of the base plate, and the shank has between the annular shoulder and the manufactured head a relatively thick portion in a length which exceeds the thickness of the cover plate.
A base plate assembly for mounting a hinge bracket of a furniture hinge, said base plate assembly comprises a base plate, which is adapted to be secured to a carrying wall by mechanical fasteners, and a cover plate, which at least partly covers the base plate and is guided on the same transversely to the hinge bracket or the like and provided with means for fixing the hinge bracket, the cover plate is connected to the base plate by retaining means and by a headed clamp screw, the headed clamp screw is screwed into a tapped bore in the base plate and extends through a first slot that is formed in the cover plate and is parallel to the direction in which the cover plate is guided on the base plate, characterized in that the retaining means consist of a screw, which is adapted to be screwed into one of the base plate and the carrying wall through a bore in the base plate, and said screw has below its head a collar, which is thicker than the shaft of the screw and extends through the cover plate in a second slot, which is parallel to the first slot, said collar has a lower annular step, which bears on the rim of the tapped bore in the base plate, and the axial length of said collar exceeds the thickness of the second slot.
