A hinge mechanism for a lighting assembly has a base with a slot, a shuttle guide extending from edges of the slot, a shuttle coupled with the base and capable of sliding through the slot and shuttle guide between an up position and a down position, and a link rotatably coupled to an end of the shut
A hinge mechanism for a lighting assembly has a base with a slot, a shuttle guide extending from edges of the slot, a shuttle coupled with the base and capable of sliding through the slot and shuttle guide between an up position and a down position, and a link rotatably coupled to an end of the shuttle. An angle between the shuttle guide and the base is acute to allow the shuttle to easily slide into the shuttle guide. The base has a catch lip that extends from a back edge of the slot, wherein the catch lip is capable of deflecting the link slightly as the shuttle passes through the slot. Apertures in the shuttle and the shuttle guide align when the shuttle is in the up position. The link has a lip that inserts into the apertures in the shuttle and the shuttle guide to releasably hold the shuttle in the up position. The shuttle has tabs on an upper end of its back side to keep the shuttle from dislodging from the shuttle guide.

The fastening plate in accordance with claim 1, wherein the base plate has two laterally spaced tangs of substantially equal length in said central region. 4. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 1, wherein end regions of the cover plate are provided with lateral web parts which serve to anchor an attachable hinge arm. 5. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 1, wherein slots are recessed in the cover plate which serve to receive wedge-shaped extensions which are moulded on a furniture hinge to be fastened. 6. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 1, wherein the eccentric has a screw head which can be actuated by corresponding slots in an attached hinge arm. 7. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 1, wherein at least one of the base plate and the cover plate are designed symmetrically to their respective longitudinal and transverse central axes. 8. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 1, wherein said pair of longitudinally spaced tangs are bent around longitudinal edges of said base plate on either side of said at least one lower tang to substantially encircle said base plate. 9. A fastening plate to fasten a hinge arm of a furniture hinge to a carrier wall, comprising: an elongated base plate for fastening to a carrier wall and having laterally spaced tangs thereon; a cover plate covering the base plate at least in part and being guided in a transversely displaceable manner on said base plate by longitudinally spaced tangs positioned with respect to said base plate tangs so that lateral edges of said base plate tangs are in abutment with lateral edges of said cover plate tangs; and an eccentric to displace the cover plate transversely with respect to the base plate. 10. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 9, wherein said longitudinally spaced cover tangs are bent around longitudinal edges of said base plate to substantially encircle said base plate. 11. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 9, wherein the eccentric has a shaft that penetrates a central elongate aperture oriented in the longitudinal direction of the cover plate, a width of said elongate aperture corresponding to the diameter of the shaft, said eccentric further having an eccentric shaft part below the shaft which has a lesser diameter than the shaft, said eccentric shaft part being pivoted in a borehole centrally arranged in the base plate. 12. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 9, wherein said laterally spaced tangs include two base plate tangs of substantially equal length. 13. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 12, wherein said cover plate tangs and said base plate tangs are bent down through 180 degrees. 14. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 13, wherein said cover plate includes two pairs of longitudinally spaced tangs, one pair on each longitudinal edge of said cover plate such that the lateral edges of each base plate tang are abutted by inner lateral edges of one of said pairs of cover plate tangs. 15. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 9, wherein end regions of the cover plate are provided with lateral web parts which serve to anchor an attachable hinge arm. 16. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 9, wherein slots are recessed in the cover plate which serve to receive wedge-shaped extensions which are moulded on a furniture hinge to be fastened. 17. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 9, wherein the eccentric has a screw head which can be actuated by corresponding slots in an attached hinge arm. 18. The fastening plate in accordance with claim 9, wherein at least one of the base plate and the cover plate are designed symmetrically to their respective longitudinal and transverse central axes.
