Abstract
A mounting plate for a furniture hinge includes a hinge plate pivotably connected to a hinge component, such as a hinge cup, on a pivot axis. At least one front support members depends from the front edge of the hinge plate and is spaced a predetermined radial distance from the pivot axis. The front support member depends a distance from the hinge plate that is less than, and preferably not greater than three-fourths, the predetermined radial distance between the front support member and the pivot axis. The mounting plate also includes at least one opposing rear support member depending from the rear edge of the hinge plate a distance that is at least as great as, and preferably, at least one and three-fourths times, the distance by which the front support member depends from the hinge plate. At least one fastener opening is formed in one or both of the hinge plate and the at least one rear support member, and the front and rear support members are adapted to confront opposing sides of a cabinet member on which the mounting plate is installed and cooperatively provide subjacent lateral support for the cabinet member when a fastener received through the fastener opening is inserted into the cabinet member.
