Hinge with a base transversely adjustable by means of a cam

A hinge for furniture provided with a base section having thereon surfaces for coupling the base section with an elongate wing section of the hinge, the base section comprising a first element which at the upper part thereof has said coupling surfaces and at the lower part thereof has a groove receiving a second element intended for being fastened to the piece of furniture, a rotary cam, the first and second elements being mutually slidable in a direction transverse to the length of the wing section, by means of said rotary cam, for giving the hinge a transverse-position adjustment, characterised in that the second element is received in the groove in a drawer-like slidable manner in said transverse direction, the first element comprising a through hole extending between the groove and said upper part, the cam having a control pivot pin for rotation control which is fitted in said through hole to be rotated therethrough, and the second element having a face thereof confronting the bottom of the groove and having projecting therefrom spaced teeth forming reaction surfaces for engagement by the cam, said teeth being disposed on diametrally opposite sides of the cam in said transverse direction.
