Abstract
There is disclosed a security hinge construction comprising a pair of hinge leafs adapted for attachment to a door or a door frame, or the like. Each leaf includes at least one knuckle which is disposed adjacent to and is moveable relative to the knuckle on the other of said leaves. An electrical circuit component such as a switch, is carried by one of the knuckles, with operating means being carried by the other of said knuckles, and with an actuator member disposed therebetween. Upon movement of the hinge leaves the operating means will move relative to the circuit component and the actuator means to activate said switch, as an indication of a change in the relative orientation of said hinge leaves.
