Abstract

A quick coupling furniture hinge for a quick arrangement of a door of a furniture element onto a base furniture element, wherein the hinge comprises a hinge pot arranged in the furniture door and a hinge arm pivotably fastened thereon. The hinge arm is provided with a mounting assembly fixed in the hinge arm, via which mounting assembly the hinge arm is fastened to a base mounting panel that is fixed on the base furniture element, so that the pivotable assemblies co-operate independently from each other with each complementarily shaped element arranged on the base mounting panel.

Claims (4)

1. A quick coupling furniture hinge ( 1 ) for a quick arrangement of a door of a furniture element onto a base furniture element, wherein the hinge comprises a hinge pot ( 3 ) arranged in the furniture door and a hinge arm ( 2 ) pivotably fastened at a turning point thereon; the hinge arm ( 2 ) is provided with a mounting element ( 4 ) fixed in the hinge arm, via which mounting element the hinge arm ( 2 ) is fastened to a base mounting panel ( 5 ) that is fixed on the base furniture element, the mounting element ( 4 ) comprising two ends, each said end having a pivotable interlocking assembly ( 8 , 9 ), both assemblies co-operate independently from each other with the base mounting panel ( 5 ), whereby the pivotable assembly ( 9 ) disposed at the end close to the turning point of the hinge arm ( 2 ) comprises a lath ( 16 ) and a push spring ( 19 ), characterized in that the lath ( 16 ) is pivotable and arranged perpendicularly to the main longitudinal axis of the mounting element ( 4 ) and disposed with its ends ( 17 , 17 ′) in cut-outs ( 18 , 18 ′) arranged in respective side walls of the mounting element ( 4 ) and the push spring ( 19 ) is fastened in each side wall of the mounting element ( 4 ) and pushes said pivotable lath ( 16 ) to a final locked position.

2. The quick coupling furniture hinge according to claim 1 , characterised in that each cut-out ( 18 , 18 ′) has a shape of a substantially upside-down equilateral triangle with a stepped base that allows insertion of the pivotable lath ( 16 ).

3. The quick coupling furniture hinge according to any of preceding claim, characterised in that one longitudinal edge of the pivotable lath ( 16 ) is rounded, wherein the rounded section complements a rounded section at the top of the triangular cut-out ( 18 , 18 ′), whereas the other, opposite longitudinal edge of the pivotable lath ( 16 ) is chamfered at both ends in a stepped manner and the length of each step corresponds to the depth of the cut-out ( 18 , 18 ′).

4. The quick coupling furniture hinge according to claim 1 , characterised in that at the end remote from the turning point of the hinge arm ( 2 ), the pivotable interlocking assembly ( 8 ) is designed as a pair of mutually parallel locking elements ( 10 , 10 ′) that are connected in a material-fit manner with an uncoupling connection ( 11 ) that allows uncoupling of the hinge arm ( 2 ) from the base mounting panel ( 5 ).
