  • Publication number: 20040093689
    Abstract: An adjustable gate hinge assembly fabricated from stamped components is both stronger and less expensive to manufacture than currently manufactured designs. The hinge assembly includes a base plate mountable to a gate or door, an inner hinge component slidably adjustable and securable to the base plate with threaded fasteners, an outer hinge component mountable to a fence or wall, first and second pivot plugs which locate the inner hinge component within the outer hinge component, and a rivet which passes through the slot of each pivot plug, thereby retaining them seated within the outer hinge component. The inner hinge component has a tubular member which pivots between a pair of opposed drawn ears on the outer hinge component. Each of the ears has an aperture that is axially aligned with the aperture of the other ear. For a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hinge assembly incorporates a coil spring within the tubular member, which can be loaded to bias the hinge as self-closing or self-opening.
