Abstract

The invention relates to a mounting device for fixing a furniture hinge, comprising a base plate, which is to be fixed to a furniture part, in particular a lateral wall of a furniture body, and comprising a fixing device for fixing the hinge to the mounting device, preferably in a removable manner. The fixing device is movably mounted on the base plate, said mounting device having a connecting element which is mounted on the base plate in a movable manner via at least one toggle lever and which can be fixed to a hinge part that can be moved during the opening and closing movement of the hinge, wherein the fixing device can be moved relative to the base plate via the toggle lever.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hinge arrangement comprising:
a furniture hinge including:
a hinge arm;
a hinge cup; and
an intermediate portion mounted movably to said hinge arm, said intermediate portion being coupled to said hinge arm by at least two hinge arm levers and being coupled to said hinge cup by a hinge cup lever; and

a mounting device for fixing said furniture hinge to a furniture carcass, said mounting device including:
a base plate configured to be fixed to a side wall of the furniture carcass;
a fixing device for connecting said hinge arm of said furniture hinge to said mounting device, said fixing device being mounted movably on said base plate; and
a connecting element mounted movably to said base plate by a base plate hinge lever and connected to said intermediate portion of said furniture hinge, said fixing device being movable relative to said base plate by said base plate hinge lever.

2. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said hinge arm is releasably connected to said mounting device by said fixing device.

3. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connecting element is connected to a top side of said intermediate portion.

4. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said hinge arm is clipped to said fixing device.

5. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connecting element is clipped to the intermediate portion.

6. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connecting element has a plate-shaped part at least partially embracing said intermediate portion.

7. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connecting element is a two-part lever.

8. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said fixing device has a substantially plate-shaped configuration.

9. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said fixing device is pivotally connected to said hinge lever.

10. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said fixing device is mounted moveably to said base plate by a fixing device hinge lever.

11. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a mounting lug is arranged on said base plate, said hinge lever being rotatably mounted to said mounting lug.

12. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said base plate hinge lever is rotatably mounted to said base plate by one of a gear or a gear segment.

13. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 12 , wherein a toothed bar is arranged on said base plate, said one of said gear or said gear segment meshing with said toothed bar.

14. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a guide device is arranged on said base plate for guiding a movement of said fixing device relative to said base plate.

15. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said fixing device has a substantially plate-shaped configuration.

16. The hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said base plate hinge lever and said connecting element are configured to fix said connecting element to said intermediate portion mounted moveably to said hinge arm and coupled to said hinge arm by said at least two hinge arm levers.

17. An article of furniture comprising:
a furniture carcass;
said hinge arrangement as set forth in claim 1 ; and
a furniture door mounted pivotably to said furniture carcass by said hinge arrangement, said mounting device being mounted to said furniture carcass, and said furniture hinge being fixed to said mounting device for allowing opening and closing of said furniture door.
