LENGTH The length of the leaves measured parallel to the pin |
WIDTH OPEN The overall dimension of leaves measured across the pin |
|
PIN The rod running the length of the hinge. The pin holds the leaves of the hinge together |
KNUCKLE The hollow circular part at the joint of the hinge through which a pin is passed |
|
KNUCKLE LENGTH The nominal or typical dimension of the knuckle measured parallel to the pin |
PAINT CLEARANCE The dimension between the outer face of the knuckle and the opposing edge of the leaf cut-out over the entire range of rotation |
|
LEAF WIDTH The dimension from the centre of the pin to the outer edge of the leaf |
END PLAY The amount of axial movement between leaves |
Continuous hinges are all stocked in standard assembly only. All the other options are made to order
the width of the hinge is increased slightly when swaged.

 |
STANDARD ASSEMBLY Leave stay flat in the same plane in a open position. |
REVERSE ASSEMBLY Opposing leaves extend laterally from opposite sides of the pin in the open position. Leaves will not close to parallel position. |
UNEQUAL LEAVES One leaf is a different width than the other, measured from the centre of the pin. |
ONE LEAF HALF SWAGED Leave stay flat in the same plane in a open position. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
BOTH LEAVES HALF SWAGED Both leaves swaged approximately one half the pin diameter. |
ONE LEAF FULLY SWAGED One leaf swaged equal to the pin diameter and both leaves parallel when in closed position. |
ONE LEAF REVERSED SWAGED One leaf swaged to simulate reversed assembly. Leaves will not close to parallel position. |
OFFSET Forming of one or both leaves to provide more clearance between the leaves in closed position. |
