Abstract
A hinge comprising: a hinge arm; and a mounting plate by means of which said hinge arm can be mounted to a furniture side wall. The hinge arm is hingedly connected to a hinge member. An adjustment screw is provided to adjust the position of the hinge arm with respect to the mounting plate. The mounting plate has a slot open at one end and having two elongated rims opposed to each other. The adjustment screw is mounted in said hinge arm so as to be turnable but axially undisplaceable with respect to said hinge arm. The opposed rims of the slot engage in the screw thread of the adjustment screw, so that the adjustment screw can be screwed into the slot of the mounting plate.
