Abstract
A hinge supports a door panel having a door edge in a door frame having a frame edge in a closed position of the door. A door part fixed to the door edge defines first and second parallel door axes in the gap between the door edge and frame edge, and a frame part fixed to the frame edge defines first and second parallel frame axes recessed in the door frame. A first link has one end pivoted on the door panel at the first door axis and an opposite end pivoted on the frame part at the first frame axis, and a second link separate from the first link has one end pivoted on the door part at the second door axis and an opposite end pivoted on the frame part at the second frame axis.

A hinge for pivotally mounting a door panel having a door edge on a door frame having a frame edge juxtaposed with and confronting the door edge in a closed position of the door with the door and frame edges delimiting a gap, the hinge comprising:
- a door part fixed to the door edge and defining first and second parallel door axes in the gap between the door edge and frame edge;
- a frame part fixed to the frame edge and defining first and second parallel frame axes recessed in the door frame and offset from the gap;
- a first link having one end pivoted on the door part at the first door axis and an opposite end pivoted on the frame part at the first frame axis;
- a second link separate from the first link and having one end pivoted on the door part at the second door axis and an opposite end pivoted on the frame part at the second frame axis, whereby the door is pivotal from the closed position through at least 135° to an open position.
