Abstract: Cabinet hinge whose cabinet-wall-related part in the form of a cantilever arm can be slipped onto a mounting plate installed on the wall of a cabinet and can then be fixed at selected positions on the mounting plate by tightening a screw. The mounting plate bears a resilient catch which, at the beginning of the installation of the cantilever arm engages an abutment on the latter and thus secures it against accidental withdrawal from the mounting plate, without interfering with its movement for longitudinal adjustment on the mounting plate. The catch is provided on a leaf spring which is fastened at one end within the mounting plate while its free end bearing the catch protrudes through an opening in the mounting plate. The arm-holding screw is passed with clearance through an oversize hole in the mounting plate and driven into a threaded eye in the leaf spring.

The pivotal hinge is adjustable in a simple manner by a readily available tool and has high stability, particularly rigidity against torsion. The supporting block is defined by a yoke including two legs joined by a central web, one leg being defined by two parallel webs and a cross web connecting same. A supporting trunnion is carried within a pair of eyes formed in spaced projections extending beyond the central web for pivotally supporting the pivotal bracket. A threaded sleeve is rotatably supported in a guide passage provided in the cross web, with a threaded bolt being engaged through the threaded sleeve and having one end pivotally connected to the pivotal bracket.

Abstract: A glass cover for an enclosure is mounted over an opening in the enclosure by a pair of recessed hinges, each of which includes a hinged body. There are two slots in each hinged body. Each hinged body is positioned within a recess in the enclosure wall. The hinge also includes a frictional member positioned in one of the slots in the hinged body, and a cover holder. Two pins couple the cover holder to the hinge body. One of the pins is coupled to the friction member; this pin passes through one of the slots into a socket in the friction member. The other pin is positioned within the other slot. The frictional member engages a portion of the hinged body defining the perimeter of the slot in which it is disposed. As the cover is raised and lowered, the frictional member rides along this slot. The frictional forces between the side walls of the slot and the friction member are such that the cover remains stationary when the person lifting the cover releases his or her grip.
