To be able to mount a mitered door to a mitered wall and open it as wide as possible, and for keeping the miter joint as tight as possible, a hinge for the door comprises two base parts or inner and outer housings which are likewise mitered, making close contact with each other in the "closed position" of the hinge and being coordinated with the miter plane of the piece of furniture or the like. The two base parts are interconnected by long brackets and short brackets, the long brackets forming crosses and being connected by a pin. The inner housing is adjustable relative to the outer housing in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction, each by given amounts. Each adjustment is made via a turnable pinion acting upon a rack of a first intermediate member. The adjustment of the inner housing relative to the outer housing is achieved via the intermediate members, each of which is retained in one direction.
A hinge for hinging a door to a wall member, comprising a first base part for connection to the door, a second base part for connection to the wall member, a first long bracket pivotably connected to said first base part, a first short bracket pivotably connected to said first base part at a location spaced laterally from the connection of said first long bracket, a second long bracket pivotably connected to said second base part and a second short bracket pivotably connected to said second base part at a location spaced laterally from the connection of said second long bracket, said first and second long brackets being pivotably connected to each other near centers thereof, said first long bracket being pivotably connected to said second short bracket and said second long bracket being pivotably connected to said first short bracket, said first base part and said second base part each including an outer housing adapted to be fixed to the door in the case of said first base part and the wall member in the case of the second base part, an inner housing mounted for movement in two approximately perpendicular directions in said outer housing and adjustment means for adjusting the relative position in the two approximately perpendicular directions of said inner housing in said outer housing.
