Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a mounting plate for furniture hinges, whereby the supporting arm of the furniture hinge is U-shaped and of varying width. For this purpose, the mounting plate is embodied in such a way that it comprises at least two step-shaped mounting shoulders extending along its two longitudinal margins and adapted to receive the open end of the U-shape of the supporting arm. Hereby, a fairly wide supporting arm will rest upon the lower step-shaped mounting shoulder, while a fairly narrow supporting arm will rest upon one of the higher supporting shoulders. Thereby, the supporting arm is prevented from movement in a direction other than along the longitudinal base plate, and a keyhole-shaped opening in the supporting arm allows an adjustment in this direction.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A furniture hinge unit comprising: a longitudinally extending U-shaped supporting arm of a predetermined width; a hinge mounting plate for mounting said longitudinally extending U-shaped supporting arm, said mounting plate including, a rigid longitudinal base plate adapted to be secured to a furniture piece and having two substantially parallel longitudinal margins, and a plurality of step-shaped mounting shoulders along said two longitudinal margins of said base plate to accommodate the U-shape supporting arm of said hinge unit as well as U-shaped supporting arms of a different width.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A furniture hinge unit comprising: a longitudinally extending U-shaped supporting arm of a predetermined width; a hinge mounting plate for mounting said longitudinally extending U-shaped supporting arm, said mounting plate including, a rigid longitudinal base plate adapted to be secured to a furniture piece and having two substantially parallel longitudinal margins, and a plurality of step-shaped mounting shoulders along said two longitudinal margins of said base plate to accommodate the U-shape supporting arm of said hinge unit as well as U-shaped supporting arms of a different width.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
106 words
A furniture hinge unit comprising: a longitudinally extending U-shaped supporting arm of a predetermined width; a hinge mounting plate for mounting said longitudinally extending U-shaped supporting arm, said mounting plate including, a rigid longitudinal base plate adapted to be secured to a furniture piece and having two substantially parallel longitudinal margins, a first step-shaped longitudinally extending mounting shoulder extending along said two longitudinal margins, and at least one further transversely reduced step-shaped longitudinally extending mounting shoulder extending along said margins of said base plate, whereon a U-shaped supporting arm can be mounted on either of said mounting shoulders depending on the width of said supporting arm.
