Mounting plate for furniture hardware, especially cabinet hinges

摘要

The cabinet hinge mounting plate can be fastened to a cabinet wall by means of screws passing through openings provided in it in the form of slots. The slots are configured such that the screws associated with each of them, which are threaded only on a portion of their length but have an unthreaded section adjacent the screw head, will be held temporarily by their threaded portion in a central position in the length of the slot, but when they are driven all the way in they will be displaceable lengthwise of the slot. The slots have in the area of their central portion projections protruding each toward the opposite slot edge for the purpose of holding the crests of the threads of the associated fastening screws. At their upper side facing the head of the screws the slots are provided with a rebate which is engaged by a centering section of the screw, which is formed in the transition between the head and the shaft of the screw. The diameter of the centering section corresponds substantially to the full width of the rebate.
