ABSTRACT:
A hinge including a pair of pivotally connected elements. One element of the hinge has an undulate cam surface extending about the pivot axis of the hinge and the other element has a base surface and a groove in the base surface. A spring having a straight leg and an arm extending from one end of the leg may be engaged in the groove so that the free end of the arm bears on the cam surface to provide detent and drag functions for controlling relative pivoting motion of the hinge elements. When the hinge elements are attached to structures such as panels of a folding door assembly, the structure associated with the grooved element helps to retain the leg of the spring in the groove. The hinge elements may be provided with tabs which abut one another, providing a stop to limit relative motion of the hinge elements.
