Definitions

• Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a hinge arrangement incorporating the present invention
• Fig. 2 is a base view of the hinge arrangement of Fig. 1
• Fig. 3 is a perspective view from below, during adjustment of the arrangement
• Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the pivot arrangement
• Figs. 11 and 12 are perspective views from different angles, showing the base and spindle during fitting;
• Fig. 6a One intermediate position is illustrated in Fig. 6a.
• the spindle axis 16 is at the mid-point of its range. If the projection 36 is now turned (by turning the spindle 32) the projection 36 will move to a different position in which the two requirements are still fulfilled, with the projection 36 at the new orientation.
• An alternative position of this nature is illustrated in Fig. 6b.
• the centre 68 has moved along the line 64.
• the axis 16 has moved away from the line 64, toward one of the walls 62, but remaining on the line 66.
• An extreme position is eventually reached (Fig. 6c) in which the centre 68 is on the line 66 at its intersection with the line 64 and the spindle axis 16 has moved to one end of its range.
• rotation of the projection 36 is turned into movement of the axis 16 along the line of confinement.
• the arrangements being described provide these confinements in the ways described. Accordingly, rotation of the spindle 32 (as described above in relation to height adjustment) will move the hinge axis 16 transversely (in addition to adjusting the height of the flag leaf 18), thus adjusting the compression achieved in the seal strip 26 when the door or window is fully closed.
• the single action of turning the spindle 36 is providing two forms of adjustment, firstly to the height of the flag leaf 18, and secondly to the transverse position of the axis 16.
• the projection 36A in which the projection 36 sits in the recess 37, the projection is not circular in this modification, but is polygonal in outline.
• the outline is a regular ten-sided polygon. The dimensions of the polygon are such that opposite parallel faces of the polygon will rest against opposite parallel faces 37A of the recess 37.
• Figs. 16 and 17 when the cover 20 is moved to the closed orientation, but before being slid transversely to the fully closed position, the knuckle 98 is close to an edge 120 of the leaf member 74.
• the bar 116 sits above the edge 120.
• the spring member 112 bears against the inside face of the cover 20 and is relatively strongly flexed, so that the bar 116 is being pressed against the edge 120.
