ABSTRACT:
An adjustable hinge for mounting a movable door element to a frame element has a plain leaf adapted to be secured to one of the elements and having at least one knuckle, a pintle passing through the knuckle along a pintle axis, and an adjustable leaf. This adjustable leaf has a plate formed with at least one knuckle aligned with the knuckle of the plain leaf and also traversed by the pintle, and a housing adapted to be secured to the other of the elements and formed with a slot receiving the plate. The slot forms a fulcrum for pivoting of the plate relative to the housing about an adjustment axis parallel to but offset from the pintle axis through a multiplicity of angularly offset positions. An adjustable element is provided for fixing the plate in the slot in any of the angularly offset positions. In addition the plate is displaceable parallel to the axis in the housing. The hinge further has at least one axially extending screw braced between the plate and the housing and rotatable for axially displacing the plate in the housing parallel to the axes. This additional axial adjustability can be provided in addition to or instead of the front-to-back transverse adjustability.
