ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a hinge pot having a housing which can be inserted into a bore in a furniture part and having dowel-type expanding clamping jaws which can be inserted into the bore and which can be pressed against the bore wall by way of expanding members constructed as tie rods. The expanding members are movable by way of an eccentric lever in the direction of insertion of the hinge pot perpendicular to the plane of mounting thereof. Expansion of the clamping jaws takes place when the expanding members are moved by the lever in a direction from an insertion end of the hinge pot towards a mounting face thereof.
Securing furniture fittings by means of dowels or dowel-type clamping members has the advantage, in contrast to securing by means of screws, of better holding capacity or anchoring force and is the conventional type of securing according to the current state of the art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to improve a hinge pot of the type mentioned at the outset but which can be mounted and also detached again without the use of a tool, such that it can be mounted advantageously both in chipboard and in hardwood.
This object is achieved according to the invention in that the clamping jaws are to have a cylinder segment-shaped configuration of visco-elastic material, for example plastic or rubber, and are arranged on the casing of the hinge pot, and in that the tie rods are arranged between the hinge pot and the clamping jaws.
