Abstract
The invention is a cabinet hinge that has a hinge arm or hinge fastened on a hinge cup; the hinge arm, that can be adjusted by means of an adjusting plate, can be connected to a fastening baseplate on the cabinet/furniture, and has a catch connection provided in order to make this connection. According to the invention the adjusting plate is a one piece, partially resilient snap-on component that on one side has hook-shaped shanks that link with the baseplate and on the other side has shanks that engage into corresponding catch nose projections of the baseplate when pressure is placed on the adjusting plate by a suitable means forces sliding motion of the adjusting plate relative to the baseplate. Then the resilient component of the adjusting plate is secured against further shifting.
