ABSTRACT:
In a hinge for hanging flush overlap doors, the door-related hinge part which can be mounted on the door is coupled by an articulation mechanism to a carcase-related hinge part in the form of an elongated supporting arm which in turn is secured to a mounting plate fastened to the door-supporting wall of a cabinet carcase. By means of an adjusting screw thrusting against the supporting arm or against the mounting plate and threaded into the mounting plate or supporting arm, as the case may be, an adjustment of the overlap or coverage dimension of the door on the front edge of the supporting wall is possible. The fastening which secures the supporting arm on the mounting plate is in the form of a pivot system with a pivot axis running parallel to the pivot axis of the articulation mechanism. The pivot system is configured such that, when the adjusting screw is turned in the sense of a reduction of the overlap dimension, a displacement of the supporting arm toward the carcase interior is superimposed on the resultant swing of the supporting arm, and this displacement compensates the enlargement of the gap between the inside of the door and the front edge of the supporting wall which results from the geometry of the articulation mechanism.
