ABSTRACT:
A hinge device comprising a main body in the form of a channel member, a mount pin projecting outward from the web of the main body, and a pressing plate pivoted at its one end to the inner side of one side wall of the main body and retractable into the channel of the main body, the pressing plate being provided with a wedge formation on one side surface thereof opposed to said one side wall of the main body so as to gradually approach the other side wall of the main body as the pressing plate is retracted into the channel of the main body. A plate, such as the closure plate of a cabinet, can be loosely fitted into the channel of the main body with the pressing plate withdrawn therefrom and can be tightly held in the channel by the wedging effect produced when the pressing plate is retracted. The hinge device can be installed in place easily and yet holds the plate reliably.
