Adjustable door hinge mechanism

Abstract:

An adjustable door hinge that includes a rack and pinion gear set that is adapted to adjust hinge alignment relative to a door frame/case. As the pinion gear is rotated, a set of gear racks acts as a set of tapered wedges that change the alignment of the hinge relative to the door frame/case. Once the desired alignment of the hinge is reached, hinge mounting screws can be tightened to releasably couple the assembly in the proper alignment/location.
