Hinge

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.
