A furniture hinge having a movable hinge part (40) adapted to be mounted on a door and is connected by at least one pivot pin in an articulating manner with a hinge arm (1), which is adapted to be mounted on the supporting wall (3) by means of an attachment plate (4 and 5). The hinge arm (1) is locked in relation to the attachment plate by means of a set screw (26) which is able to be screwed into the hinge arm and able to be turned with the attachment plate (4 and 5) but not be moved in an axial direction. In order to provide a furniture hinge which has a compact design and is able to be attached to narrow end frame of openings in furniture and which, furthermore, renders possible a pivotal movement of the hinge arm for the purpose of lateral adjustment of a door without altering the gap, in an arm (21) partly overlapping the end side (48) of the supporting wall or of the end frame (3) the attachment plate (4 and 5) is provided with a slot (22) running parallel to the end side (48), which slot (22) parallels the pivot axis of the hinge arm and is in alignment with a slot (47) in the end part, adjacent to the joint, of the hinge arm.
A furniture hinge comprising a movable hinge part (40) adapted to be connected to a door (42) and which is articulatably connected to a hinge arm (1) by a first pivot pin (45), said arm (1) having a pivot axis 35 and a joint side and being connected to an attachment plate (4 and 5) adapted to be connected to a supporting wall (3) having an end side (48), a set screw (26) for lateral or vertical adjustment of said door (42) to different angular settings in relation to said attachment plate (4 and 5), said screw (26) being screwed into said arm (1) and being mounted turnable in a rotary direction and unmovable in an axial direction in relation to said attachment plate (4 and 5), said attachment plate (4 and 5) including an arm (21), provided with a first slot (22), and which arm (21) overlaps said end side (48) of said supporting wall (3) or of an end frame, said first slot (22) being parallel to a plane formed by said end side (48) and which end side (48) is parallel to said pivot axis (35) of said hinge arm (1) and is in alignment with a second slot (47) located in an end part in the joint side of said hinge arm (1), a second pivot pin (46) located in said first and second slots (22 and 47), and said second slot (47) extends in an end part on the joint side of said hinge arm (1) obliquely or transversely in relation to said first slot (22) in said arm (21) of said attachment plate (4 and 5), whereby said second pivot pin (46) is shifted in position upon swinging of said hinge arm (1) in said first slot (22) of said arm (21).
