ABSTRACT:
A pocket hinge assembly having a cabinet plate mounted inside a cabinet, a cup mounted within a receptacle formed in a cabinet door, and a linking member that pivotally connects the cabinet plate to the cup to permit the cup to rotate relative to the cabinet plate and the cabinet door to move between open and closed positions relative to the cabinet. A first end of the linking member is coupled to the cup at a pivot extending therethrough such that the cup is rotatable relative to the cabinet plate at the pivot pin. The opposite end of the linking member is adjustably connected to the cabinet plate to correspondingly vary the overlay between the cabinet and the door in the closed position. A one-piece locking spring is carried by the cup so as to cooperate with a cam surface projecting from the linking member as the cup rotates towards the cabinet plate and the cabinet door moves to a closed position across the cabinet to thereby form a lock for preventing the cup from rotating away from the cabinet plate and the cabinet door from moving out of the closed position.
