Abstract
Abstract Precise, simple and secure fastening of a hinge to a furniture carrier wall is made possible by a mounting means comprising a lower part adapted to be mounted directly on the carrier wall and an upper part adjustably connected to the lower part by a first fastening means. The carrier wall arm of the hinge is securely mounted on the upper part by a second fastening means. When the carrier wall arm is in position attached to the upper part, the first and third fastening means are accessible so that adjustment of said hinge carrier arm may be effected without disturbing the lower part. While the upper part may be moved on the lower part within a plane generally parallel to the carrier wall and in a direction generally parallel to the direction of the pivotal axis, the carrier arm may be adjusted in a direction perpendicular to the direction of adjustment of the upper part on the lower part, and a further adjustment means is provided whereby the carrier wall arm is adjustable in a direction toward and away from the upper part so that adjustment in three dimensions is provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
218 words
A mounting means for securely mounting a carrier wall part of a hinge to a carrier wall, comprising an upper part and a lower part adjustably interconnected by a first fastening means extending through an opening in said upper part a carrier wall part and, a second fastening means securing said carrier wall part of a hinge to said mounting means, third fastening means for mounting said lower part of said mounting means directly on the carrier wall, and means of preventing a pivotal movement between said upper and said lower part, wherein said opening in said upper part is elongated in a direction transverse to their longitudinal axis, wherein a secure relative adjustment between said upper and lower part in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal axis is obtained by means of said first fastening means, wherein a secure relative adjustment in a direction parallel to their joint longitudinal axis is obtained between said upper part and said carrier wall part by means of said second fastening means, wherein said relative adjustment between said upper and lower parts can be effected independently from whether said carrier wall part is mounted upon or detached from said mounting means, and wherein said first and third fastening means are accessible when said upper part is mounted on said lower part.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
218 words
A mounting means for securely mounting a carrier wall part of a hinge to a carrier wall, comprising an upper part and a lower part adjustably interconnected by a first fastening means extending through an opening in said upper part a carrier wall part and, a second fastening means securing said carrier wall part of a hinge to said mounting means, third fastening means for mounting said lower part of said mounting means directly on the carrier wall, and means of preventing a pivotal movement between said upper and said lower part, wherein said opening in said upper part is elongated in a direction transverse to their longitudinal axis, wherein a secure relative adjustment between said upper and lower part in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal axis is obtained by means of said first fastening means, wherein a secure relative adjustment in a direction parallel to their joint longitudinal axis is obtained between said upper part and said carrier wall part by means of said second fastening means, wherein said relative adjustment between said upper and lower parts can be effected independently from whether said carrier wall part is mounted upon or detached from said mounting means, and wherein said first and third fastening means are accessible when said upper part is mounted on said lower part.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
A mounting means according to claim 1 wherein said third fastening means project from said lower part, and said upper part has recesses therein of a width to accommodate said projections, said recesses extending in the direction of adjustment whereby adjustment in a direction perpendicular to the axis of said upper and lower parts is permitted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
79 words
A mounting means according to claim 2, wherein said upper and lower parts have cooperating engagement means at their opposite ends which prevent movement between said upper and lower parts when said first fastening means secures said upper part to said lower part and which permit an adjustment between said upper and lower parts only in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal axis and prevent movement of the upper part transverse to and pivotal to said direction of adjustment.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A mounting means according to claim 1 wherein said first fastenIng means is a screw threaded in said lower part and extending through an elongated slot in said upper part.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A mounting means according to claim 1 wherein said carrier wall part is securely adjustable in a direction toward and away from said upper part to thereby provide adjustment in three directions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A mounting means according to claim 5 wherein said adjustment in a direction toward and away from said upper part is a screw means.
