ABSTRACT:
Three piece separable hinge assembly wherein, when closed or nested, a smaller flat leaf is received loosely, coplanar, within a central cut-out area of a larger flat leaf so that the composite hinge occupies the thickness of only one leaf. When this thickness corresponds to the shallow recess or seating niche of an attached structure (e.g. either door or door jamb) to which the leaf is secured, such door can be completely closed without leaving an appreciable gap between it and the adjacent wall. Each leaf, along a common edge, is formed with a jointly aligned bearing tube, which tubes house a cylindrical hinge pin having a tapered, distally converging, engagement neck and flared head. Such pin is removably insertable from either end of the tube. Longitudinally spaced along the bearing tube of the smaller leaf are a pair of tangentially projecting abutment lugs which serve to locate one connected structure (e.g. door) for automatic alignment with the other (e.g. door jamb) when the leaves are coupled together by insertion of the hinge pin. Loose but locking engagement of the smaller leaf edge with the adjacent bearing tube of the larger leaf prevents separation of the nested leaf pair even in the absence of the hinge pin; that is, the closed door can not be opened merely by withdrawing the hinge pins.
