A structure has been devised in which the other end is connected to the fixed base body 6g with a screw 28g. With such a structure, even if the screw 28g is excessively loosened, the risk of the door falling can be reduced.

However, in the above structure, the fixed base body
Since the width of 6 g is narrow, the movable base body 7 g is provided with the joining plate portion 51, and the joining plate portion 51 hits the side wall to stably support the load of the door. Then, when the vertical position of the door is adjusted, there is a problem that the joining plate portion 51 rubs the side wall of the cabinet and damages it.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems (technical problems) of the prior art, and can achieve a stable mounting state of the door with respect to the cabinet main body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hinge capable of keeping the main body intact and improving safety in preventing the door from falling.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the hinge in the present invention has a fixed base for extending along a side wall of a main body of a cabinet, and a main body and upper and lower sides of the main body are provided in a projecting manner. Mounting pieces,
On the main body, a movable base body, which is hinged to a rotating body for mounting to a door in a cabinet, is freely mounted in a vertical direction, and the structure of mounting the movable base body on the main body is An engaging claw provided at a corresponding position on the movable base body is engaged with a vertically long engaging portion provided at one end in the horizontal direction of the main body portion so as to be repositionable up and down. And a hinge in which a corresponding portion of the movable base body is fixed to the other end in the horizontal direction of the main body portion by a fixing screw so as to be freely reversibly moved up and down. From the end on the side where the portion is provided, the surface along the side wall is located on the same plane as the side wall facing surface of the mounting piece, and the surface on the opposite side receives the movable base body. The face piece A vertically elongated receiving hole for receiving the engaging claw is provided between the main body and the receiving piece in a projecting manner with the receiving hole interposed therebetween, while the horizontal length of the movable base body is The length on the side of the side wall at the end of the body is such that the surface is along the receiving surface.

[0008]

In operation, the load of the door is applied from the movable base body to the upper and lower mounting pieces through the main body portion and to the receiving pieces from the movable base body, and is applied to the side wall of the cabinet main body through these. In the case of adjusting the vertical position of the door, the main body and the receiving piece prevent the movable base from contacting the side wall.
Further, the engagement claws are moved up and down in the receiving hole. If the movable base body is inadvertently lowered, the engaging claw contacts the lower edge of the receiving hole, and stops the lowering of the movable base body.
