Claim:
An overlay adjustable hinge fixture for mounting a door member on a cabinet frame member comprising: a hinge cup fitted for insertion into the door member, where the hinge cup has a spring support tab, a first pair of concentrically aligned support holes and a second pair of concentrically aligned support holes; a hinge arm having a tubular slot pivotally connected to the hinge cup by a first axel pin through the tubular slot and the first pair of concentrically aligned support holes; the hinge arm further comprising a face plate having a first access aperture and an elongated adjustment hole; the faceplate further supporting an opposing set of guide flanges; a deformable fastener plate comprised of a fastener plate top and a fastener plate bottom integrally connected by a set of deformable rigid connection plates; the fastener plate top slidingly constrained by the set of guide flanges; a spring functionally held adjacent the hinge cup by a second axel pin through the second pair of concentrically aligned support holes; the tubular slot further forming at least one cam surface adjacent the spring whereby the spring biases the hinge arm against the hinge cup in at least one of an open position and a closed position; wherein the fastener plate bottom includes an elongated aperture longitudinally aligned with the first axle pin; a vertical adjustment screw for threaded insertion into the cabinet frame through the elongated aperture; a first and a second set of alignment tabs, connected to the fastener plate bottom for alignment of the fastener plate bottom with the cabinet frame; the fastener plate bottom further comprising a raised seat defining a centering hole; wherein the fastener plate top is further comprised of a second access aperture adjacent the elongated aperture and an adjustment hole; wherein the fastener plate top further comprise an offset cam connection; a cam member rotatably mounted in the elongated adjustment hole and pivotally mounted in the offset cam connection; an overlay adjustment screw for threaded insertion through the adjustment hole and abutting the centering hole; wherein the overlay adjustment screw may be accessed through the first access aperture and rotated to move the fastener plate bottom with respect to the fastener plate top by bending the deformable rigid connection plate; wherein the vertical adjustment screw may be accessed through the first access aperture and the second access aperture and rotated to allow movement of the abutment section with respect to the cabinet frame member; and wherein the cam member may be rotated to move the fastener plate top linearly with respect to the attachment section.
