DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a mounting plate for a furniture hinge which is adjustable in height and a hinge arm of which is mounted on the mounting plate.
Furniture hinges are known, whereby the doors are rotatably connected with a furniture body and which are provided with a side, lowering or heighwise adjustment. The vertical adjustment is performed parallel to the rotating axis and may be performed by a set screw, for example, which is mounted in a thread bore of the mounting plate and which supports with their end ranges, which are provided with slots for introducing an operational tool, on the lateral plates of the hinge arm.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to provide a mounting plate of the aforementioned type in such a manner that with simple constructive means a height adjustment of the part of the mounting plate is made possible, which is mounted on the hinge arm.
This object of the invention is solved in that the mounting plate consists of an upper part and a base plate which is mounted on the furniture body and that the base plate engages in the center area into a recess of the upper part which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the upper part and is displaceably and lockably mounted therein.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention the upper part of the mounting plate is provided with a U-shaped cross section and the upper part and the base plate are shaped as stamped sheet metal parts. The stationary guiding of the upper part with respect to the base plate is obtained in that the side plates of the upper part are provided with recesses into which the base plate engages.
Further features of the invention are stated in the subclaims and the following description of exemplified embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 shows a furniture hinge mounted on a door and a furniture body, the hinge arm of which is mounted on a mounting plate in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 shows the mounting plate illustrated in FIG. 1 in a perspective view and in a disassembled state; and
FIG. 3 is a perspective illustration of a modified shape of the mounting plate in accordance with FIG. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The furniture hinge illustrated in FIG. 1 is mounted with its housing 1 on a furniture door 2 by means of screws 3. A hinge arm 4 is pivotably mounted on the housing, whereby this hinge arm is mounted by means of a screw 5 on a mounting plate 6 which is mounted on the furniture body 8 by means of screws 7.
A side adjustment can be performed in direction of arrows 10 by releasing the mounting screw 5 and by actuating a set screw 9.
By releasing the mounting screw 5 a lowering adjustment in the longitudinal axis of the hinge arm 4 can be performed in direction of arrows 11. The mounting screw must again be tightened after the adjustment movement. The heightwise adjustment of the hinge is performed in the direction of arrows 12. The mounting plate 6 is designed in two parts for this purpose and consists of an upper part 13 and a base plate 14 which is equipped with throughput bores 15 for mounting screws 7. Furthermore, the base plate 14 is provided with a thread bore 16 into which the thread shaft 17 of a mounting screw 18 is screwed, so as to lock the upper part 13 with respect to base plate 14. The thread shaft 17 is guided through a slotted hole 19 in upper part 13, so that the upper part 13 is adjustable transversely to its longitudinal axis 20 when screw 18 is released.
In the illustrated exemplified embodiment in accordance with FIG. 2, the base plate 14 is provided with an abutment plate 21 which engages into the inner chamber 22 of the upper part and whose the front faces 23 of which limit the adjustment path of the upper part with respect to base plate 14. The width of base plate 21 is thereby smaller by the maximum adjustment stroke than the width of the inner chamber 22 between the inner faces of the side plates 24 of the upper part 13.
