Abstract
A hinge for a swinging door. The hinge includes first and second leafs, each having knuckles, and a pin which rotatably attaches the first and second leafs together. The first knuckle of the first leaf includes a detent, the first knuckle of the second leaf includes first, second, and optionally third, channels, and the pin includes first and second ribs. The first rib is positioned within a desired channel thereby fixing the relative position between the pin and second leaf and predetermining the swing range of the door, which is restricted when the detent engages the first rib. The second rib acts as a spacer to keep the pin from moving away from and over the detent when the door has reached its predetermined swing range. In this fashion, the hinge limits the swing range of a door to keep the door from striking an adjacent wall.
