Pivot and support mounting assembly

Abstract

There is disclosed a pivot and support mounting arrangement for a pivotal door arrangement which permits the door to be adjusted quite easily with respect to the door frame. The arrangement includes a pintle assembly carried by the door and a support arrangement mounted proximate to a lower corner of the door frame, and receiving a projecting portion of the pintle assembly. The support arrangement includes a bracket having an elongate channel-like opening in which is mounted a pintle support block, and selective engageable means to prevent relative movement. A recess is formed in the pintle support block to receive the pintle end portion, and spring means is associated with the support block tending to bias it upwardly. In the assembled condition the weight of the door will overcome the biasing force provided by the spring and the engageable means will be inter-engaged to preclude movement of the support block relative to the bracket. When it is desired to adjust the door position, the door is lifted and the spring means will produce disengagement of said engageable means, while maintaining a degree of engagement of the pintle end in the block recess. Accordingly, movement of the door will produce movement of the support block relative to the bracket, such that when the door is released the inter-engageable means are re-engaged to establish a new location for the pivot provided by the pintle means.
