ABSTRACT:
A simulated butt hinge assembly comprises an artificial knuckle-pintle-finial butt hinge attached to an L-shaped plate structure. The artificial butt hinge comprises spaced knuckle simulating grooves in a one-piece cylindrical member with finials formed at opposite ends of the cylindrical member, the grooves simulating separate knuckles. The L-shaped plate structure has one plate extending from the artificial hinge assembly and a second plate which is clamped between a flange of a snap type hidden articulating hinge and a movable panel. The articulating hinge has a second flange secured to a frame to rotatably secure the panel to the frame. The artificial hinge protrudes from the part of the panel to simulate a butt hinge. Other embodiments are disclosed including a multiple separate knuckles in an artificial hinge.
