Abstract:
1. A hinge for a swinging door, comprising: a first leaf having a knuckle, wherein said knuckle defines an opening and has a detent that protrudes into said opening; a second leaf having a knuckle, wherein said knuckle defines an opening and has a first channel that is contiguous with said opening of said second leaf; a pin positioned in said openings of said knuckles of said first and second leafs and pivotly attaching said first leaf to said second leaf; wherein said pin has a first rib positionable within said first channel; wherein relative rotation between said pin and said second leaf is restricted by engagement of said first rib against said first channel; wherein said first leaf can be rotated relative to said second leaf through a predetermined range of motion; wherein said predetermined range of motion is limited at one end of said predetermined range by engagement of said first rib against said detent; wherein said pin includes a second rib that is radially spaced from said first rib; wherein said second rib is disposed within said opening of said knuckle of said first leaf; and wherein said second rib spaces said pin within said opening of said knuckle of said first leaf whereby said first rib is prevented from slipping over said detent when said first rib engages said detent.
