Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment IO In the accompanying drawings there is schematically depicted a hinge 10. The hinge 10 includes a first hinge half 11 to be fixed to a doorjamb, and a second hinge half 12 to be fixed to a door, with the hinge halves 11 and 12 being pivotally coupled by means of a pin 13, the pin 13 providing a pivot axis 14 about which the door pivots relative to the associated doorjamb.
The hinge half 11 includes a base 15 and a pin engaging member 16 having eyelets 17. The second hinge half 12 also has a base 18 and a pin engaging member 19.
The pin engaging member 19 having an eyelet 20 that is aligned with the eyelets 17 to Is receive the pin 13.
Engaged within the eyelet 20 are bushes 21 of plastics material that provide a bearing in respect of the pin 13. The eyelets 17 have plastic bushes 22 that also engage the pin 13 and provide a bearing in respect thereof. Accordingly the pin 13 is securely retained in the eyelets 17 and 20 by means of the bushes 21 and 22, with the bushes 21 and 22 co-operating to support the door for pivoting movement. Preferably the eyelets 17 and 20 have recesses 24, with each of the recesses 24 engaging a projection 25 on associated one of the bushes 21 or 23. Received within the upper and lower extremities of the eyelets 17 are caps 26.
The base 15 includes a mounting plate 27 having apertures 28 through which fasteners pass to secure the plate 27 to the door jamb. Extending generally normal to the plate 27 is a base flange 29, the flange 29 having projections 30. The projections extend generally normal relative the axis 14 and flange 29, and are of a transverse cross section so as to have parallel flanges 31. The member 16 has a pair of slots 32 each having an enlarged entrance portion 33 through which the projections 30 may pass. Each slot 32 is at least partly defined between a pair of flanges 34 that project toward each other and parallel to the axis 14 so as to provide a neck 35 through which the associated one of the projection 30 extend. The neck extends parallel to the axis 14. In particular the flanges 31 are located behind the flanges 34 so that once the projections 30 are located 3 589807-I :hxa in their respective slots 32, and moved along the respective slot 32 in the direction of the O axis 14, the projections 30 are captively located as they cannot be moved in a transverse
O
direction with respect to the slots 32, that is the transverse direction relative to the axis 14.
SThe transverse width of the projections 30 at the flanges 31 is wider than the 5 transverse width of the neck
IND
SThe base 15 and member 16 have rows of serrations 36 that aid in retaining the member 16 in a desired location relative to the base
IND
By sliding movement of the projections 30 along their respective slots 32, the position of the member 16 is adjustable relative to the base 15 in the direction of the axis 14. Once located in a desired position, the threaded fasteners passing through elongated Sslots 37 and threadably engaged within passages 38, are tensioned to retain the member 16 in a desired position in respect of the member 15, the position being maintained in assistance with engagement of the serrations 36. The slots 37 are elongated in the direction of the axis 14 to provide for relative adjustment, that is sliding movement of the Is projections 30 within their associated slots 32.
The member 16 has a longitudinal wall 39 and end walls 40 that engage the base flange 29 to aid in mounting the member 16 on the base A cover 41 covers the slots 37 and threaded fasteners passing therethrough.
The base 17 has a mounting plate 42 that is to be fixed to the door by means of threaded fasteners passing through apertures 43. Extending generally normal to the plate 42 is a base flange 44 having at least one transverse slot 45. The slots 45 extend generally transverse with respect to the axis 14. To cooperate with the slots 45 are projections 46 of the member 19, with the projections 46 being slidable along the slots 45 to provide for horizontal adjustment of the member 19 relative to the base 18. To aid in retaining the member 19 in a desired position relative to the base 18, the base 18 and member 19 are provided with a plurality of serrations 36.
The member 19 has a plurality of elongated slots 47 through which threaded fasteners pass to engage threaded passages 48. When the member 19 is in a desired position relative to the base 18, the threaded fasteners are tensioned to secure the member 19 in position fixed to the base 18 with the aid of engagement of the serrations 36.
A cover 49 is secured to the member 19 to cover the slots 47 and threaded fasteners passing therethrough.
The member 19 has a longitudinal side wall 50 and end walls 51 that engage the base flange 44 to aid in locating the member 19 with respect to the base 18.
4 589807-1:hxa In operation of the above described hinge 10, vertical adjustment of the hinge O halves 11 and 12 relative to each other is accomplished by sliding movement of the Sprojections 31 along their slots 32, while horizontal adjustment between the hinge halves
U
11 and 12 is achieved by sliding movement of the projections 46 along their respective s slots 45 again until the threaded fasteners are tensioned. Accordingly the slots 45 provide 0 for horizontal adjustment and the slots 32 vertical adjustment.
In installation of the above described hinge 10, the member 16 is moved towards the member 15 in a direction transverse of the axis 16 so that the projections 30 pass through their associated enlarged portions 33. Thereafter the member 16 is allowed to move downwardly parallel to the axis 14 until the flanges 31 are located behind the flanges 34. Accordingly the door is then partially retained in position, that is a position enabling adjustment.
