Hinge

1. A hinge for a door comprising:

a receiver assembly having a slot and at least one bore;

a door leaf having a retaining spring extending away from the door leaf, the door leaf being dimensioned for insertion into the slot, the retaining spring having at least one spring aperture;

a retaining device associated with the receiver assembly for releasably engaging the retaining spring to releasably retain the door leaf in the slot, the retaining device comprising at least one pin releasably extending through the at least one bore to releasably engage the at least one spring aperture; and

a second leaf pivotably connected to the door leaf.

2. The hinge of claim 1 wherein the slot is tapered.

3. The hinge of claim 1 wherein:

the at least one spring aperture comprises a plurality of spring apertures;

the at least one bore comprises a plurality of bores; and

the at least one pin comprises a plurality of pins releasably extending through respective ones of the plurality of receiver assembly bores to releasably engage respective ones of the plurality of spring apertures.

4. The hinge of claim 1 wherein the at least one pin and the at least one bore are cooperatively threaded.

5. A hinge for a door comprising:

a receiver assembly having a slot and a cover having a slotted opening providing access to the slot;

a door leaf having a retaining spring extending away from the door leaf, the door leaf being dimensioned for insertion into the slot, the door leaf being inserted into the slot through the slotted opening, the slotted opening being dimensioned smaller than a cross-sectional area of the slot;

a retaining device associated with the receiver assembly for releasably engaging the retaining spring to releasably retain the door leaf in the slot, wherein the retaining spring is movable between a compressed position and an expanded position and is dimensioned to engage the cover when in the expanded position and to disengage from the cover when in the compressed position; and

a second leaf pivotably connected to the door leaf.

6. The hinge of claim 5 wherein the retaining spring has an exposed tab to facilitate movement of the spring from the expanded position to the compressed position.

7. A hinge for a door comprising:

a receiver assembly having a slot;

a door leaf having a retaining spring extending away from the door leaf, the door leaf being dimensioned for insertion into the slot, the retaining spring having a spring aperture;

a retaining device associated with the receiver assembly for releasably engaging the retaining spring to releasably retain the door leaf in the slot, the retaining device comprising a projection connected to the receiver assembly and extending into the slot, the projection being received in the spring aperture to releasably engage the spring; and

a second leaf pivotably connected to the door leaf.

8. A hinge for a door comprising:

a receiver assembly having a cavity therein;

a first leaf received within the cavity;

a retaining spring connected to the first leaf and extending away from the first leaf, the retaining spring having at least one spring aperture;

a retaining device associated with the receiver assembly, the retaining device releasably engaging the retaining spring to releasably retain the first leaf in the cavity, wherein the retaining device comprises at least one projection connected to the receiver assembly and extending into the cavity, the at least one projection being received in the at least one spring aperture to releasably engage the spring; and

a second leaf pivotably connected to the first leaf.

9. The hinge of claim 8 wherein the cavity comprises a tapered slot having the first leaf received therein.

10. The hinge of claim 8 wherein the at least one projection is formed by at least one pin releasably extending through at least one bore in the receiver assembly to releasably engage the spring.

11. The hinge of claim 8 wherein:

the receiver assembly has at least one bore; and

the projection comprises at least one pin releasably extending through the at least one bore to releasably engage the at least one spring aperture.

12. The hinge of claim 8 wherein:

the at least one spring aperture comprises a plurality of spring apertures;

the receiver assembly has a plurality of bores; and

the at least one projection comprises a plurality of pins releasably extending through respective ones of the plurality of receiver assembly bores to releasably engage respective ones of the plurality of spring apertures.

13. A hinge for a door comprising:

a receiver assembly having a cavity therein and a cover having an opening providing access to the cavity;

a first leaf received within the cavity, the first leaf being inserted into the cavity through the opening, the cover having a flange surrounding at least a portion of the opening;

a retaining spring connected to the first leaf and extending away from the first leaf, wherein the retaining spring is movable between a compressed position and an expanded position;

a retaining device associated with the receiver assembly, the retaining device releasably engaging the retaining spring to releasably retain the first leaf in the cavity, wherein the retaining device comprises a portion of the flange, wherein the portion of the flange is configured to engage the spring when the spring is in the expanded position and to disengage the spring when the spring is in the compressed position; and

a second leaf pivotably connected to the first leaf.

14. The hinge of claim 13 wherein the retaining spring has an exposed tab to facilitate movement of the spring from the expanded position to the compressed position.

15. The hinge of claim 14 wherein the opening has a slot, the exposed tab of the retaining spring received in the slot to facilitate access to the tab.
