ABSTRACT:
A door and a substantially concealed hinge are provided, particularly for cabinets. The hinge is designed to be substantially hidden in a wedge-shaped recess in a hinge edge of the door. The recess can be made by a single pass of a cutting tool relative to the door or vice versa. The hinge includes a first hinge wing and a second hinge wing connected by a knuckle. The first hinge wing has a first portion extending outwardly from the knuckle in a generally radial direction and a second portion structurally integral with the first portion, extending at an angle relative to the first portion, and having openings for mounting the first hinge wing on the door frame. The second hinge wing has a third portion extending generally radially-outwardly from the knuckle at a narrow, included angle relative to the plane of the door and to the second hinge portion when the hinge is in a closed position. The second wing has a fourth portion structurally integral with the third, angular portion and extending outwardly in a plane parallel to the door and to the second portion of the first wing when the hinge is in the closed position. The fourth portion of the second wing also has openings for attaching the second wing to the inner surface of the door. The first portion of the first wing, the third portion of the second wing, and all or substantially all of the knuckle lie within the wedge-shaped recess for all positions of the door.
