Coplanar Sections Patents (Class 16/391)
  • Patent number: 8042228
    Abstract: An adjustable hinge block includes first and second complementary members, each defining therein a first and a second slit respectively. The members are adapted to mate with each other such that the first and second slits at least partially align with each other to define a third slit. First and second wing members protrude from the members respectively such that the wing members lie on opposite sides of the third slit when the members mate with each other. The wing members each define therein a first and a second aperture respectively, which first and second apertures are adapted to receive a fastener. First and second side members, each define therein a third and a fourth aperture respectively, such that the third and fourth apertures is adapted to align with the first and second apertures respectively.

  • Patent number: 5472271
    Abstract: A hinge for an inset cabinet door includes door and frame wings which enable the door to be adjusted both horizontally and vertically relative to the surrounding face frame of the cabinet. An angled wall of the frame wing enables a locking screw to be driven into the frame at an angle by a power-operated driver without the driver being obstructed by the adjacent side panel of the cabinet.

  • Patent number: 5375296
    Abstract: A non-mortised door hinge is formed of a large and a small hinge leaf pivotally interconnected about a pivot pin, the smaller leaf being of substantially the same size and shape as a central cut-out in the larger leaf for nesting within the cut-out area of the larger leaf to form a hinge of single leaf thickness. At least one of the upper and lower peripheral edges of the smaller leaf taper away from the corresponding upper and lower margins of the cut out area for increasing the clearance therebetween with increasing distance from the pivot pin. The hinge has horizontally slotted screw holes on one leaf and vertically slotted screw holes on the other leaf. The slotted holes are used to attach the hinge to a door and frame using screws, while permitting subsequent alignment of the door in its frame. At least one round (non-slotted) hole is also provided on each leaf to accept a setting screw.

  • Patent number: 4873744
    Abstract: A door hinge adapted for pivotally securing a door to a second door or a supporting frame in which the two hinge plates of the hinge are connected by pinned inter-engaging tab and knuckle parts so that at least two of the tab parts support at least two of the knuckle parts and provide bearing surfaces for the knuckle parts upon pivoting movement of the hinge plates.

  • Patent number: 4439888
    Abstract: A door and a substantially concealed hinge are provided, particularly for cabinets. The hinge is designed to be substantially hidden in a wedge-shaped recess in a hinge edge of the door. The recess can be made by a single pass of a cutting tool relative to the door or vice versa. The hinge includes a first hinge wing and a second hinge wing connected by a knuckle. The first hinge wing has a first portion extending outwardly from the knuckle in a generally radial direction and a second portion structurally integral with the first portion, extending at an angle relative to the first portion, and having openings for mounting the first hinge wing on the door frame. The second hinge wing has a third portion extending generally radially-outwardly from the knuckle at a narrow, included angle relative to the plane of the door and to the second hinge portion when the hinge is in a closed position.
