ABSTRACT:
A shower door hinge having a door clamping member, a wall mounting plate and a concealed knuckle device is presented. The door clamping member engages the shower door while the wall mounting plate is mounted on a side wall of the shower stall. The knuckle device, which is comprised of several parts, is enclosed within the door clamping member and thereby hidden from view. The knuckle device has, as a first and second part, a hinge and a hinge pin which form the axis of rotation about which the shower door rotates. The knuckle device also has, as another part, a spring biased pin which cooperatively acts with the hinge. The cooperative action between the hinge and the spring biased pin allow for a camming action which controls both the rate of rotation and the positioning of the shower door around the axis of rotation.
