180.degree. concealed hinge

A 180.degree. two pivot concealed hinge, comprising:

• a frame leaf member including a first edge and a second edge, one of said edges having a plurality of knuckles thereon;
• a mounting leaf member including a first edge and a second edge, each of said edges having a plurality of knuckles thereon;
• and
• a door leaf member including a first edge and a second edge, one of said edges having a plurality of knuckles thereon,
• said frame leaf member and said mounting leaf member being interconnected about a first pivot formed by the knuckles on the edge of said frame leaf member and the knuckles on one edge of said mounting leaf member, said door leaf member and said mounting leaf member being interconnected about a second pivot formed by the knuckles on the edge of said door leaf member and the knuckles on the other edge of said mounting leaf member, wherein said frame leaf member is L-shaped extending rearwardly from said mounting leaf member in a fully closed hinge position and having one leg which is adapted to be mounted to a cabinet frame and said knuckles forming a part of said first pivot being at the edge of another leg, said door leaf member is L-shaped extending rearwardly from said mounting leaf member in a fully closed hinge position and having a leg which is adapted to have a door structure attached thereto and said knuckles forming a part of said second pivot being at the edge of another leg, and said mounting leaf member has said knuckles forming part of said first pivot at a first edge and said knuckles forming a part of said second pivot at a second edge and extends between said pivots, said frame leaf member, and said door leaf member are substantially wholly positioned between said pivots when the hinge is fully closed so that said mounting leaf member being positioned in front of and covers said frame leaf, and wherein the interconnection of said frame leaf member and said mounting leaf member forming said first pivot is a loose fit and the interconnection of said door leaf member and said mounting leaf member forming said second pivot is a friction fit and are such as to allow free rotation about said first pivot to an approximately 90.degree. position prior to any rotation about said second pivot when an opening rotational force is applied to said door leaf member, said first pivot including a first stop structure which limits the rotation to the approximately 90.degree. position and upon further applying the opening rotational force to said door leaf member allows rotation about said second pivot to an approximately 180.degree. position, said second pivot including a second stop structure which prevents rotation about said second pivot beyond said approximately 180.degree. position.
