First Claim
Patent Images
1. A hinge pivotally mounting a door or window to a frame, comprising:
- a first leaf with a first hollow knuckle;
a second leaf with a second hollow knuckle;
the knuckles being axially aligned so as to define a first adjustment axis;
a pin extending through the knuckles and adjustably coupling the knuckles together for variable spacing along the first axis;
the second leaf including a plate extending laterally from the second knuckle and a housing to slidably receive the plate along a second adjustment axis perpendicular to the first axis;
a lock member to lock the plate in a selected position relative to the housing; and
an adjustment member operative between the plate and the housing to adjust the relative position of the plate relative to the housing about a third adjustment axis perpendicular to both the first and second adjustment axes.

Abstract
An adjustable hinge assembly is provided with three dimensional adjustment along X, Y and Z axes. The hinge assembly includes a first leaf mounted to a door or window frame and a second leaf mounted to the door or window. The first and second leaves are pivotally coupled via aligned knuckles for adjustment along the Z axis. The second leaf includes a plate slidably received in a housing. The plate is adjustable along X and Y axes relative to the housing. Adjustments on the X, Y and Z axes can be quickly and easily made using an Allen wrench.
