The furniture hinge has a hinge arm (1) which is held to the base plate (9) directly or indirectly via a spacer (6) at two attachment points staggered along its length. The hinge arm or the spacer can be secured closely in the base plate (9) at its first attachment point and held at a second attachment point by a spring-loaded stop link. The first attachment point is formed by an aperture (12) in the base plate in which is fitted one pin (7) of the hinge arm or the spacer (6). On the front of the hinge arm away from the pivot of the furniture hinge there is a spring-loaded tongue (13) connected to the hinge arm or the spacer (6) and fitted with a stop, which engages with a stop area on the base plate (9). The tongue (13) has laterally engaging actuating lugs (16) connected to the hinge arm (1) or the spacer (6). These actuating lugs are pressed inwards to release the stop connection between the tongue (13) and the base plate (9), whereby the spring-loaded tongue (13) is elastically deformed by the arms co-operating with this tongue and taken to an unlocking position.
