Adjustable anti-sag hinge

摘要

There is disclosed an anti-sag hinge (10) which includes a mounting flange assembly (12) pivotally coupled to a strap assembly (15). The strap assembly includes a strap (31) extending from a cylinder portion (32). The strap includes elongated mounting holes (69), an adjustment screw boss (70) having a passageway (71), and a moveable adjustment bracket (77) having an adjustment screw mounting flange (78) with a threaded screw hole (79) therein in which is threadably mounted an adjustment screw (80). The adjustment screw has a head (81), a bearing flange (82), a neck (83), and a threaded shaft (84). A removable spacer (86) has a U-shaped gripping portion (87) which is snap fitted onto a portion of the threaded shaft between the bearing flange and the adjustment bracket screw flange. The adjustment bracket includes four mounting holes (88) extending therethrough and generally in alignment with strap elongated mounting holes.

1. An anti-sag hinge comprising, a mounting flange assembly, and a strap assembly pivotally coupled to said mounting flange assembly, said strap assembly including a strap having at least one strap mounting hole, an adjustment bracket coupled to said strap for relative movement therebetween and having at least one bracket mounting hole alignable with said at least one strap mounting hole, and an adjuster coupled to said strap and said adjustment bracket, said adjuster being capable of varying the position of said adjustment bracket relative to said strap wherein said adjuster includes a first flange extending from said strap, a second flange extending from said adjustment bracket and having a threaded bolt mounting hole therein, and a threaded bolt coupled to said first flange for rotatable movement but preventing lateral movement of said threaded bolt along a longitudinal axis and threadably coupled to said second flange threaded bolt mounting hole, whereby threaded movement of the threaded bolt causes relative movement between the first and second flanges, and thereby relative movement between the adjustment bracket and the strap.
