Corner cabinet hinge

A hinge (30) for hanging a free door panel (14b) of a bipartite corner cabinet door, on a second door panel (14a) that is hung to turn on a carcase supporting wall, comprising:

• two mounting parts, each associated with one of the door panels, which provide for the door panels to be turned by about 90 degrees from a position where the door panels (14a;14b) are held approximately at right angles to one another when the corner cabinet door is closed, to a position substantially in parallel alignment when the corner cabinet door (14) is open;
• the first mounting part comprising a hinge cup (38) fixed in one of the door panels;
• the second mounting part comprising a multi-angled hinge arm (64) journaled at one end on a pivot pin (40) provided in the hinge cup, and which is adjustably fastenable to the other door panel;
• said multi-angle hinge arm (64) comprising a bearing arm section (64a), a connecting arm section (64b) and a mounting arm section (64c) releasably joined to one another and succeeding one another longitudinally, wherein the bearing arm section (64a) is journaled in the hinge cup (38) and joined to the connecting arm section (64b) for adjustment in a first coordinate direction, the connecting arm section (64b) is attached non-rotatably to the other door panel for adjustment at right angles to the first coordinate direction, and the mounting arm section (64c) in turn is attached to mounting means (38') fastened to the associated door panel (14b) for adjustment in a coordinate direction running substantially at right angles to the aforesaid coordinate directions;
• and
• thrusting means, provided in the area where the multi-angled hinge arm is journaled in the hinge cup, which biases the free door panel (14b) to an angle of slightly more than 90.degree. relative to the second door panel (14a) hinged on the carcase;
• and wherein
• the thrusting means comprises a pusher (52), mounted for displacement in the hinge cup (38) and resiliently biased toward the pivot pin (40), and a cam surface (56), formed on a bearing sleeve (58) surrounding the pivot pin (40) wherein the cam surface is engaged by the pusher (52).
