ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a hinge consisting of two halves. Each half of the hinge comprises a base plate (5, 6), to be respectively fastened to a side (3) and a door (1) of a piece of furniture, a rocker arm (10, 14), and a link (7, 11). The intersecting rocker arms (10, 14) which are each provided in one half of the hinge, have a "V" profile in cross section, and are fitted the one into the other through an opening (26) formed in the crosspiece of the "V" profile of rocker arm (10). At an intersecting pivot point these rocker arms are pivotally connected to each other by means of pin (17), and at the facing ends of the base plates (5, 6), the rocker arms (14, 10) are each hingedly connected by means of a hinge pin (15, 16) with the base plate (5, 6) of the one half of the hinge. Through a link (7, 11) which by means of a respective pin (9, 13) is pivotally connected to the free end of the relative rocker arm (10, 14), each rocker arm is hingedly connected by means of a hinge pin (8, 12) with the opposite end of the base plate (5, 6) of the relative hinge half. The hinge is fitted with a spring (20) which acts between the lower and of line (7) and the free end of rocker arm (10). The base plates (5, 6) are provided respectively with one pair of bores (27) and two pairs of orthogonal slots (29, 30), and with one pair of bores (28) and one pair of slots (31) which are parallel to each other. By the slots (29, 30, 31) the plates (5, 6) can be vertically and horizontally adjusted in position.
