Adjustable lift-off hinge

An adjustable lift-off hinge assembly comprising:

• (a) a support member mounted onto a frame, said support member having a longitudinal axis, and further having at least one generally planar mounting surface;
• (b) a knuckle assembly mounted onto a door comprising:
• (i) a longitudinal adjustable knuckle member having a lip portion extending outwardly from a lower longitudinal side of said adjustable knuckle member;
• and
• (ii) a longitudinal fixed base member having at least one generally planar outer surface mounted onto said door, and having a terminal end resting on said lip portion of said adjustable knuckle member, and further having pivotal coupling means for pivotally connecting a generally convex outer surface of said longitudinal fixed base member to said adjustable knuckle member;
• and
• (c) means for rotatably coupling said support member to said adjustable knuckle member.

An adjustable lift-off hinge comprising, in combination, a support member mounted onto a door assembly having a longitudinal axis, and further having at least one generally planar mounting surface;

• a knuckle assembly comprising a longitudinal adjustable knuckle member rotatably coupled to said support member along said longitudinal axis by rotatable coupling means comprising a first mating recess bored into a terminal end of said support member along said longitudinal axis and a second mating recess bored into a complimentary terminal end of said adjustable knuckle member, and a pivot pin disposed within both said first and second mating recesses;
• and further comprising a longitudinal fixed base member having at least one generally planar outer surface fixedly mounted onto a door of a door assembly, and having a generally convex outer surface pivotally connected to said adjustable knuckle member by pivotal coupling means and having at least one coupling chamber bored transversely into said fixed base member, said coupling chamber having a receiving open end located flush with said planar outer surface, and a slotted open end at a distal transverse end of said coupling chamber located flush with said convex outer surface, and wherein said pivotal coupling means comprises, in threaded engagement, a threaded nut member disposed within said coupling chamber and a threaded screw inserted through both a through-hole of said adjustable knuckle member and said slotted end of said coupling chamber, thus threadedly engaging said threaded nut member.
