Hinge pot

摘要

A hinge pot has a housing which can be inserted into a bore in a furniture part and dowel-type expandable clamping jaws which can be inserted in the bore and which can be pressed against the bore wall by way of expanding members constructed as tie rods. The expanding members are movable by way of an eccentric lever in the direction of insertion of the hinge pot perpendicular to the plane of mounting thereof. The clamping jaws are cylinder sections of visco-elastic material. The expanding members are metal, are located between the hinge pot and the respective clamping jaws, and have hooks at their free ends. Opposite the hooks are provided contact pressure cams which are supported against a housing wall of the hinge pot.
