Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a hinge, particularly suitable for use between two parts to be mounted in relatively pivotable fashion, one part being made from compressed material, for example, board of wood cuttings, used in the furniture industry; the hinge according to the invention is provided with at least one anchoring element having a strip to be adhered to the part of compressed material and by a pliable element to be clamped to the anchoring element and connected with the other part; the advantage is to be seen in that first an anchoring element has to be mounted on the compressed material, onto which the flexible element can be subsequently clamped.
