Abstract
The hinge is particularly adapted to permit a relatively thick door to be swung open without interference from the surrounding door mounting frame. A pair of arms pivotally connect the door to the frame, with the inner end of one of the arms being mounted on pin means having an axis about which the door rotates. Through the provision of various embodiments of connecting means and guide means, the pin means connecting the inner arm to the body travels in an arcuate, outward path when the door is opened, thereby moving the plane of the entire door outwardly to permit the room necessary to accommodate essentially full opening of the door. The pin means, during its arcuate movement, is guided by various forms of guide means to precisely define the arcuate path of travel.
