Patent Images
1. A horizontally adjustable hinge comprising:
- a base member having a slot and a channel generally perpendicular to the slot;
an adjustment nut disposed in the channel, the adjustment nut having a generally circumferential recess and a threaded axial bore, the adjustment nut being rotationally fixed within the channel;
a screw threadably engaged in the threaded axial bore and axially fixed relative to the base member;
a first leaf for insertion into the slot, the leaf having a slot dimensioned to receive the circumferential recess, wherein rotation of the screw moves the adjustment nut axially in the channel, thereby moving the leaf in the slot of the base member; and
a second leaf pivotably connected to the first leaf.

6. A horizontally adjustable hinge comprising:
-
a base member having a slot and a channel generally perpendicular to the slot; an adjustment nut disposed in the channel, the adjustment nut having a generally circumferential recess; moving means for moving the adjustment nut axially in the channel while preventing rotational movement of the adjustment nut; a first leaf for insertion into the slot, the leaf having a slot dimensioned to receive the circumferential recess, wherein rotation of the moving means moves the adjustment nut axially in the channel, thereby moving the leaf in the slot of the base member; and a second leaf pivotably connected to the first leaf. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An adjustable hinge comprising:
-
a housing having a cavity and a channel therein; a nut positioned in the channel, the nut having a recess and a threaded axial bore, the nut being fixed against rotational movement relative to the housing; a screw threadably engaged in the bore of the nut; a first leaf extending into the cavity, the leaf having a slot, the leaf engaging the nut such that the slot of the leaf engages the recess of the nut, wherein rotation of the screw moves the nut axially in the channel, thereby moving the leaf within the cavity; and a second leaf pivotably connected to the first leaf. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
