ABSTRACT:
The permissible degree of opening of a cabinet door is limited by the interengagement between a cover member for an upper door hinge and abutment structure carried by the door itself. In a preferred embodiment, the abutment structure is defined by another cover member that is secured upon an upper portion of the door. The hinge cover member is provided with a tab that projects into a cavity or recessed section of the door cover member and a portion of this projecting tab is directly engaged by a portion of the door cover member to limit the permissible angular door movement. Furthermore, the hinge cover member is preferably mounted for movement relative to the cabinet. In the preferred embodiment, the hinge cover member is pivoted in direct response to engagement with the first abutment portion of the door cover member and the door is prevented from further pivotal movement when the first abutment portion of the door cover member engages a stop portion defined by the projecting tab of the hinge cover member.
