Abstract:
A hinge for coupling a door to a frame, comprising:a first wing member having an aperture and to be coupled to one of the frame and the door;a second wing member to be coupled to the other of the frame and the door and pivotally coupled to the first wing member; andan adjustment module having a base portion and an internal cavity extending through the base portion, and having a longitudinal axis extending therethrough;a fastener for securing to one of the frame and the door, the fastener having a head portion of a size at least partially larger in dimension than the internal cavity of the adjustment module and a shaft portion with a diameter substantially smaller than the internal cavity of the adjustment module;wherein the internal cavity of the adjustment module is configured to receive the fastener so that the shaft portion of the fastener is selectively movable relative to the adjustment module in a lateral plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the adjustment module; andwherein the aperture of the first wing member is substantially larger than the diameter of the shaft portion of the fastener and the first wing member is coupled to the base portion of the adjustment module with the base portion of the adjustment module selectively movable relative to the aperture in a direction substantially in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the adjustment module so that positional adjustment of the first wing member with respect to one of the frame and the door can be effected by the adjustment module, in three orthogonal directions.
