Patent ID: 7293329

Claim:
A vertically adjustable hinge comprising: a wing having an internally threaded knuckle, the knuckle having a knuckle slot and a stop surface disposed along the knuckle slot; an adjustment screw threaded into the threaded knuckle; a stop engaging an outer surface of the adjustment screw, wherein the rotational movement of the screw within the knuckle causes simultaneous linear movement of the screw and the stop, the stop having a stop tab thereon, the stop tab positioned to travel along the knuckle slot as the stop moves linearly, wherein the stop tab is engageable with the stop surface to prevent further travel of the adjustment screw in the threaded knuckle; and a leaf having a post dimensioned for insertion in the knuckle and into engagement with the adjustment screw, wherein the position of the leaf relative to the wing is determined by the position of the adjustment screw relative to the knuckle.
