ABSTRACT:
A hinge for a sleeper cab compartment door that pivots between open and closed positions about a generally vertical hinge axis. The door frame has a jamb adapted to support a butt hinge and the door has a hinge stile spaced from the jamb when the door is closed so that the respective jamb and stile surfaces are separated by an elongated gap that is closed on the outer side by an elongated skirt portion extending laterally from the front panel of the door an adapted to swing inward into the gap when the door is pivoted to its open position. The jamb leaf of the hinge has a longitudinal bend dividing it into two flat flanges angularly disposed relative to one another, one of the flanges being secured to the jamb and the other forming a bearing for the hinge pin. The stile leaf also has a longitudinal bend dividing it into two flanges angularly disposed relative to one another, one of the flanges being secured to the stile and the other terminating in a bearing for the hinge pin that interfits with the bearing of the corresponding flange of the jamb leaf. When the door is opened, the edge of the skirt engages the other flange of the jamb leaf to limit the outward swing of the door an thus, prevent the outer surface from engaging the outside edge of the door frame.
