Abstract
A hinge includes a first leaf assembly with a first leaf and two barrels. A pintle has a cylindrical part extending through a first of the barrels and a non-cylindrical shaft extending through the second barrel. A second leaf is mounted on the pintle. A collar with a non-circular opening is provided outside the shaft. A resilient member is provided between the cylindrical part and the collar. Two channels are defined at a side of the collar facing the second barrel for alternately receiving at least one lug formed on the second barrel. Whereby, when the pintle is turned about the barrels, the first leaf can be positioned at multiple points about the second leaf.
