Claims (34)

1. An arrangement comprising:

a furniture hinge for pivotally connecting a movable furniture part to a furniture carcass; and

a fastening adaptor for fastening the furniture hinge to the furniture carcass,

wherein the furniture hinge includes at least two fitting portions hingedly connected to one another, a first one of the at least two fitting portions being configured to be at least partially countersunk within a panel of the furniture carcass,

wherein the fastening adaptor includes four end sides and a pair of opposing surfaces sandwiching the four end sides, a fastening device configured to be fixed to the furniture carcass, and a recess for at least partially receiving the first one of the at least two fitting portions of the furniture hinge,

wherein the first one of the at least two fitting portions includes a housing, the housing being configured to be received within the recess of the fastening adaptor, and

wherein a first end side of the four end sides of the fastening adaptor is to be mounted against a sidewall of the furniture carcass via the fastening device such that a second end side and a third end side of the four end sides of the fastening adaptor adjacent to the first end side project transversely from the furniture carcass when mounted.

2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a contour of the recess of the fastening adaptor is substantially adapted to a contour of the first one of the at least two fitting portions.

3. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein an entirety of the first one of the at least two fitting portions is at least partially received within the recess of the fastening adaptor.

4. The arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the entirety of the first one of the at least two fitting portions is to be substantially entirely received within the recess of the fastening adaptor.

5. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the recess of the fastening adaptor is substantially pocked-shaped.

6. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the housing of the fitting portion is substantially cuboidal, and the housing is configured to be substantially entirely received within the recess of the fastening adaptor.

7. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the housing of the first one of the at least two fitting portions of the furniture hinge has a height extension and a longitudinal extension, and the longitudinal extension is at least three times as large as the height extension.

8. The arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the longitudinal extension is at least six times as large as the height extension.

9. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first end side and a fourth end side of the fastening adaptor opposite the first end side are shorter than the second end side and the third end side adjacent to the first end side, and the recess of the fastening adaptor is in one of the second end side and the third end side.

10. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening device includes an opening to allow passage of a screw.

11. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening device includes a screw pre-mounted to the fastening adaptor.

12. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening adaptor is configured to be releasably lockable to the mounting member pre-mounted to the furniture carcass.

13. An arrangement comprising:

a furniture hinge for pivotally connecting a movable furniture part to a furniture carcass;

a fastening adaptor for fastening the furniture hinge to the furniture carcass, and

a mounting member configured to be pre-mounted to the furniture carcass,

wherein the furniture hinge includes at least two fitting portions hingedly connected to one another, a first one of the at least two fitting portions being configured to be at least partially countersunk within a panel of the furniture carcass, and

wherein the fastening adaptor includes a fastening device configured to be fixed to the furniture carcass and a recess for at least partially receiving the first one of the at least two fitting portions of the furniture hinge,

wherein the fastening adaptor is configured to be releasably connected with the mounting member pre-mounted to the furniture carcass.

14. The arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein the fastening device of the fastening adaptor includes a locking device having a locking element, the locking element being resilient or being pressurized by a force storage member and being configured to be releasably locked with the mounting member.

15. The arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the locking device includes a holding element, the holding element being configured to engage into a notch of the mounting member in a connected condition with the mounting member.

16. The arrangement according to claim 15 , wherein the holding element of the locking device is a cylindrical pin.

17. An item of furniture comprising:

a furniture carcass;

a movably-supported furniture part; and

the arrangement according to claim 1 for allowing movement of the furniture part relative to the furniture carcass.

18. The item of furniture according to claim 17 , wherein the furniture carcass includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a sidewall extending between the top panel and the bottom panel, wherein the furniture hinge of the arrangement is fixed to the sidewall of the furniture carcass via the fastening adaptor.
