Abstract

Furniture hinge whose cabinet-related part is configured as a supporting arm of channel-shaped cross section astride the corresponding mounting plate, the mounting plate being composed of two separable members which are adjustable relative to one another. The bottom mounting plate member can be fastened to the cabinet and the upper plate is releasably joined to the supporting arm by a catch mechanism. The catch mechanism has projections extending from its opposite lateral surfaces in the door end of the upper mounting plate member while at the inner end of the supporting arm more remote from the door at least one resilient tongue having a catch section is formed, which engages a catch recess on the inner end of the upper mounting plate member. The supporting arm straddles the upper mounting plate member at least at its end pointing into the cabinet interior, and is provided in the straddling area with two tongues which are resiliently flexible parallel to the supporting wall surface. Each tongue has a catch section which is matingly engaged with an associated catch recess in the upper mounting plate member. The catch sections and the catch recesses can be brought out of engagement by squeezing the tongues together. Each tongue has a handle which is accessible when the supporting arm is mounted on the upper mounting plate member, for the purpose of squeezing the tongues together parallel to the supporting wall surface.
