An adjustable hinge assembly is comprised of a track to which is secured a slide member. A sash arm is secured at one end to the slide member and all along to a horizontal rail of a hinged window sash. A support arm is pivotally connected to the sash arm at one end thereof and pivotally connected to an adjustable connector at the other end. The improvement resides in the construction of the adjustable connector which is comprised of a stationary connecting post extending from a concentric circular disc and about which is positioned an adjustable nut. The nut is connected to the free end of the support arm and the top portion of the post is secured to the support arm by a sliding clip which is easily engaged and disengaged. Both the adjustable nut and the post are constructed from brass making them self-lubricating. The nut is also positioned in tight fit over the post whereby, when the nut is rotated to a desired position to adjust the position of the support arm, it will maintain the said position. The adjustable nut is rotated by a standard wrench tool.
