Abstract
An adjustable hinge has a first leaf and an adjustable leaf mounting assembly which includes a second leaf, a bracket, a cam and an adjusting screw. The second leaf is mounted on the bracket and has one end extending beyond the bracket and pivotally engaged with the first leaf. The cam is rotatably mounted on the bracket and cooperates with a cam follower surface on the second leaf. The adjusting screw has a shank threadably engaged in the second leaf intermediate its ends and has its free end abutting the bracket. In operation, the rotation of the adjusting screw pivots the one end of the second leaf relative to the bracket and the rotation of the cam moves the second leaf vertically relative to the bracket.
