Abstract

A hinge plate had a part that can be attached to a frame or a door panel. The part has two hinge rollers that are spaced apart from one another. Sleeves are disposed in the hinge rollers so as not to rotate. A pin that is inserted into the sleeves bridges the distance between the hinge rollers. The pin has a pin head as well as a connector end for attachment of a pin screw. The pin head and the head of the pin screw attached to the pin are disposed countersunk within the hinge rollers. The pin screw has a collar that is fitted into the sleeve with a wedge fit.
