Abstract:
A door hinge which limits the swing-open motion of a door to which it is attached to a maximum of ninety degrees, said door hinge comprising:a door frame baseplate, said door frame baseplate having a plurality of substantially cylindrical rotatably joining means located along a joining edge of said baseplate, said joining means having an inside diameter to receive a hinge pin along the vertical axis of the joining means, wherein the rotatably joining means at an upper edge of said baseplate includes a tab which extends downward from a lower surface of said joining means along the vertical axis of the joining means, and wherein the rotatably joining means at a lower edge of said baseplate includes a tab which extends upward from an upper surface of said joining means along the vertical axis of the joining means, a door baseplate, said door baseplate having a plurality of substantially cylindrical rotatably joining means located along a joining edge of said door baseplate, said joining means having dimensions to match the joining means of the door frame baseplate, having an inside diameter to receive a hinge pin along the vertical axis of the joining means and keyed vertically to interpose between adjacent joining means of the door frame baseplate, wherein an uppermost rotatably joining means includes a slot which extends downward from an upper surface of said joining means along the vertical axis of the joining means, and wherein a lowermost rotatably joining means includes a slot which extends upward from the lower surface of said joining means along the vertical axis of the joining means, wherein the tabs of the joining means of the door frame baseplate cooperate with the slots of the joining means of the door baseplate to limit rotation of said door to about ninety degrees, and a hinge pin rotatably connecting said door frame baseplate and said door baseplate.
