ABSTRACT:
A hinge for mounting a door on a frame of a furniture articles includes a first hinge member such as a hinge cup to be mounted to the door, a hinge arm connected at one end of the hinge arm to the hinge cup on a pivot pin fixed in the hinge cup, and a second hinge member in the form of a hinge plate disposed on the other end of the hinge arm. The hinge plate includes an elongate opening with a centrally disposed first section and adjacent sections communicating with the first section through first and second gap formed by projections extending from opposing sides of the elongate opening towards one another. A fastening screw can be premounted in the hinge arm plate by insertion into the first section of the elongate opening. The fastening screw is provided with a threaded section which engages the projection. The threaded section of the fastening screw and an unthreaded section are configured to prevent passage of the fastening screw out of the first section of the elongate opening but to enable passage of the fastening screw for adjustment of the hinge arm plate on the frame member with a slight loosening of the fastening screw.
