Abstract:
A hinge includes a first hinge member including a first barrel, a second hinge member including a first end barrel opposite a second end barrel, a spring having a first axially extending end and a second axially extending end opposite the first axially extending end, a spring tensioner having a first depression for receiving the first axially extending end of the spring and a second depression for receiving a driver. A retainer is coupled to the spring tensioner and includes an opening that is penetrable by the driver when the driver is being received in the second depression. A method of adjusting the hinge includes compressing an end of the spring and twisting the same.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of adjusting the torsional stop on a hinge comprising a first hinge member comprising a first barrel, a second hinge member comprising a first end barrel opposite a second end barrel, wherein the first barrel is coaxially aligned between the two end barrels, wherein the first hinge member can rotate relative to the second hinge member about an axis along said first barrel and first and second end barrels, and a spring having a first end opposite a second end, wherein one of the spring ends is rotationally retainer relative to the first barrel and the other spring end is rotational retained relative to either of the first end barrel or the second end barrel, the method comprising:\n axially compressing one of the spring first or second ends, wherein after compressing one of the spring first and second ends, said one of the spring first or second ends is not rotationally retained relative to one of the first end barrel, and the second end barrel, or the first barrel; adjusting the twist on the spring while one of the spring first or second ends is compressed by rotating said one end of the spring first or second ends relative to the other of the spring first or second ends about the axis; and axially decompressing said one of said spring first or second ends, wherein after decompressing said one of said spring first or second ends is rotationally retained relative to the one of said first end barrel, said second end barrel, or said first barrel.
