ABSTRACT:
A hinge mechanism of the type comprising a base plate securable to a furniture carcass, a mounting plate releasably secured to the base plate by a retaining lever and an adjusting plate adjustably securing a hinge arm or a cover bracket to the mounting plate is provided with a safety insert to prevent accidental release of the mounting plate from the base plate. The insert comprises a block having a projection which extends into a space between the adjusting plate and the mounting plate and a channel which receives an actuating branch of the retaining lever to lock it against movement. The insert is shaped to fit tightly between one surface of the adjusting plate and an outer cylindrical surface of a sleeve spring which biases the lever into its engaging position.
