ABSTRACT:
The improved glass hinge assembly includes a first hinge component in the form of a glass clamp having a spaced pair of flat, parallel vertical walls interconnected by a connector block therebetween, the walls and connector block defining a peripheral glass-receiving space. The block is notched out in the rear so as to receive a pivot block connected to and projecting forwardly from the front end of a second hinge component of the assembly, which second component can be a glass clamp similar to the first glass clamp or a flat wall bracket disposed perpendicular to the pivot block. A hinge sub-assembly interconnects the two hinge components through the connector block of the first hinge component and the pivot block. That sub-assembly preferably includes a vertical cylindrical pin with a flattened area perpendicular to the main plane of the first hinge component, and a biasing spring and plastic bushing in the pivot block bearing against the flattened area to bias the first hinge component into a closed position parallel to the pivot block. The assembly is adapted to hold a pane of a glass door for hinged pivoting and for pivotably hinging together two adjacent panes of glass, as in a folding glass door.
