ABSTRACT:
A press-fit hinge cup for a hinge is anchored in a recess in a furniture portion, preferably in a door portion, and the anchoring means consists of tabs which project radially outwardly from the side wall of the hinge cup into the material of the peripheral wall of the recess of the furniture portion. In order to avoid excessive weakening of the material of the peripheral wall of the furniture portion and to ensure secure fitting of the hinge cup in the furniture portion respective upper or distal edges of the tabs are located at different distances from the base of the hinge cup relative to each other. As a result these tabs engage in the peripheral wall of the furniture portion along different contour lines in the recess. Additional splay tabs defined by slits positioned substantially perpendicularly to the hinge cup's base and pressed outwardly into the peripheral wall of the recess may be provided. The splay tabs provide additional resistance to twisting of the hinge cup in the recess.
