Abstract
Abstract A hinge mounting plate is used for pivotally securing the supporting arm of a door to a supporting arm for a furniture or the like. This hinge mounting plate incorporates a base plate, a control plate, and a hinge supporting arm. The base plate is secured directly to the supporting wall. The control plate is superimposed on the base plate to be slidable in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The hinge supporting arm is formed in an inverted U shape in cross section with a top wall and upper and lower side walls. The hinge mounting plate thus constructed further comprises a longitudinal and lateral control plate superimposed on the surface of the control plate and perforated with a long hole for guiding the control plate, and a lateral control screw pivotally securing both the rear side ends of the longitudinal and lateral control plate and the hinge supporting arm at the front side end of the control plate. Thus, the hinge mounting plate can be adjusted longitudinally, laterally and elevationally in the relative relationship between the supporting wall and the door.
