Abstract (en)

An adjustable hinge for securing a panel to a support structure comprises: a first member which is operable to engage with the panel; a second member which is operable to engage with the support structure; a catching means; and an adjustment means. The first member is pivotally attached to the second member and is operable to rotate relative to the second member through a range of relative positions and, when the hinge is disposed in one or more of said positions, the catching means limits relative movement between the first member and the second member so that they are substantially fixed. The catching means comprises: a first surface disposed on the first member; a complementary second surface disposed on the second member; and a biasing means to bias the first surface towards the second surface. The adjustment means comprises a worm drive which facilitates the fixed positions to be adjusted and locked.
