- (a) a first leaf adapted to be mounted on one of a frame and a door;
(b) an adjustable leaf mounting assembly adapted to be mounted on the other of the frame and door and including(i) a bracket;
(ii) a second leaf mounted on said bracket and having one end extending beyond said bracket and pivotally engaged with said first leaf;
(iii) a cam rotatably mounted on said bracket and cooperating with a cam follower surface on said second leaf; and
(iv) an adjusting screw having a shank threadably engaged in said second leaf intermediate the ends thereof and having its free end abutting said bracket, whereby the rotation of said adjusting screw pivots said one end of said second leaf relative to said bracket and the rotation of said cam moves said second leaf vertically relative to said bracket.

Abstract
An adjustable hinge has a first leaf and an adjustable leaf mounting assembly which includes a second leaf, a bracket, a cam and an adjusting screw. The second leaf is mounted on the bracket and has one end extending beyond the bracket and pivotally engaged with the first leaf. The cam is rotatably mounted on the bracket and cooperates with a cam follower surface on the second leaf. The adjusting screw has a shank threadably engaged in the second leaf intermediate its ends and has its free end abutting the bracket. In operation, the rotation of the adjusting screw pivots the one end of the second leaf relative to the bracket and the rotation of the cam moves the second leaf vertically relative to the bracket.
