Definitions

  • the invention herein disclosed and described relates to a door hinge. More particularly it relates to a door hinge that provides lateral, longitudinal, and depth adjustment to the mounted door.
  • hinges have been used on doors, gates and cabinets for many years, basically consisting of jam-mounted hinges that mount between the door jam and the edge of the door. With this style of a hinge there are generally no adjustments and the mounting screws are concealed between the door and the door jam.
  • a second style of hinge is the face-mounted hinge where the hinge is mounted on the side of the door and the side of the door jam thus allowing the mounting screws to be accessible. With the mountings accessible the doors can be readily removed and the door forced open.
  • Hinges are generally comprised of a first and second hinge member interconnected by the means of a hinge pin for a relative pivotal movement.
  • the first hinge member mounts to the door with hinge mounting hardware, normally wood screws for wood doors and sheet metal screws on metal doors.
  • the second hinge member mounts to the door jam with the same hinge mounting hardware as the first hinge member.
  • a face-mounted hinge provides for multiple levels of adjustment and thereby allows doors to be attached and aligned for the optimum seal fit to the door jams.
  • Such means for adjustment should maximize the amount of adjustment, the distance and multiple direction of adjustment, as well as the increments of adjustment available to the user. This is especially helpful in the initial mounting of the door and over a long period to provide a means for readjustment of the door if it moves out of alignment with the jam.
  • Patent No US 3,596,307 of Samuel Kolmetsky describes a device to be mounted in a metal buck or wooden jamb of a door so that conventional hinges may be used to hang the door while the device permits connecting the position by the hinge so that the door may be adjusted and aligned.
  • the Kolmetsky patent provides a design fora jam-mounted hinge rather than a face-mounted hinge that has adjustment in two planes and stages.
  • Patent No. US 4,748,717 of David Osborne teaches of a hinge for doors or gates that has two adjustments up or down and in or out. Both of these adjustments are made in the barrel portion of the hinge with relation to the hinge pin.
  • the hinge disclosed in the Osborne patent allows that all the mounting hardware is accessible and lacks a staged adjustment in two planes.
  • Patent No. US 4,785,498 of Othmar Brotschi discloses an unusual style of door and window hinge that is adjustable in three planes during and after installation, but leaves all the mounting and adjustment hardware exposed, along with the fact that it does not mount in a conventional manner.
  • Patent No. US 4,815,162 of John E. McAteer describes an independently adjustable top and bottom hinge pin assembly. This style of hinge is not commonly used on structures due to the fact that the lower L-shaped bracket does not mount into a conventional door jam.
  • Patent No. US 5,339,493 of Robert J. MacIntyre teaches of an adjustable hinge for interposition between a door and frame. This hinge has only horizontal and vertical adjustments and is mounted between the door and the jam, not being a face-mounted hinge.
  • Patent No. US 5,713,105 of Mark H. Toomey tells of a vertically adjustable hinge, which permits easy, small and precise vertical adjustments. This hinge is limited to adjustments in one plane rather than providing staged adjustments in two planes and is a jam-mounted hinge.
  • an adjustable door hinge as claimed in claim 1 is provided.
  • the subclaims show some examples of such a hinge.
  • the device herein disclosed and described relates to an adjustable door hinge that employs a base component that is fixed to a frame and has a first cylindrical portion with a first passage defined there through.
  • a door leaf component which is rotatably engaged with the base component is fixed to a door and has a second cylindrical portion with a second passage defined there through.
  • a rotatable member is rotatably engaged within the second passage and includes a top plate and a bushing which extends eccentrically from an underside of the top plate.
  • a through hole is defined through the top plate and the bushing longitudinally.
  • a first operation recess is defined in a distal end of the bushing and the top plate is rested on a top surface of the first cylindrical portion.
