DEFINITION

Classification: 16/235

Including adjustment for changing relative orientation of hinged members:

(under subclass 221) Hinge including means which permits one hinged member* to be moved and fixed relative to another hinged member.

(1) Note. The movement referred to above encompasses all translational movement, and pivotal movement other than normal swinging movement of the hinge. Any relative movement which always precedes or follows the normal pivotal movement about the hinge axis is excluded (e.g., relative vertical shifting of the members to engage or release a catch is excluded).

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

252+, for a hinge having a clamp for attachment to a hinged member.

350+, for a hinge in which the hinged members* are shifted relative to one another to engage or release a catch.

362+, for a hinge in which the hinged members* are shifted relative to one another, wherein the shifting always precedes, follows, or occurs during swinging movement of a hinged member about the hinge axis*.
