Abstract
The invention concerns a hinge, in particular a cabinet hinge with a baseplate that fastens to the cabinet body and a baseplate with a supporting adjusting plate than can be connected to the cabinet hinge, so that a secure fastening of the catch connection is provided. In order to attain a stabile connection that, at the same time, provides an easy assembly, the baseplate is formed in two parts—one lower part that fastens to the cabinet body and an upper part that tenses into the lower part. A height adjusting screw is provided to secure and vertically adjust the upper part on the lower part and has at least one eccentric or cam disks with an angle-dependent modification of the radius and whose eccentric or cam disk work together with at least one corresponding gliding cam of the upper part. The advantage, here, is that no self-activated adjustment of the hinge is possible, because the cam disks of the clamping height adjusting screw; both assembly components of the baseplate's upper and lower parts clamp together, are self-locking. This height adjustment is easy and simple to achieve smoothly, even with heavy cabinet doors.
