Adjustable door hinge

1. An adjustable door hinge comprising:

a base;

a panel leaf adjustably secured to the base and at least partially defining a vertical adjustment opening;

a pair of plates, at least one of which is fixed to the base, wherein the panel leaf is pivotally mounted between curved opposing surfaces of the plates;

at least one post extending between the plates, the at least one post extending through at least one opening in the panel leaf;

an adjustment transfer element at least partially contained within the vertical adjustment opening, and substantially fixed against rotation relative to the panel leaf;

and

a vertical adjustment element rotatably connected to the adjustment transfer element, wherein a rotation of the vertical adjustment element adjusts a position of the adjustment transfer element and the panel leaf between a first position and a second position.

2. The adjustable hinge of claim 1 , wherein the plates are adapted to adjustably secure the panel leaf to the base.

3. The adjustable hinge of claim 1 , wherein the at least one opening in the panel leaf is at least one slot adapted to slidably receive the at least one post.

4. The adjustable hinge of claim 1 , wherein the panel leaf at least partially defines a horizontal adjustment opening, and wherein the adjustable hinge further comprises a horizontal adjustment element rotatably connected to the horizontal adjustment opening, wherein a rotation of the horizontal adjustment element adjusts a position of an edge portion of the panel leaf between a third position and a fourth position.

5. The adjustable hinge of claim 4 , wherein the horizontal adjustment element defines a recess for receiving an adjustment tool.

6. The adjustable hinge of claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment interface rotatably connected to the vertical adjustment element, wherein the adjustment interface is substantially orthogonal to the vertical adjustment element.

7. The adjustable hinge of claim 6 , wherein the adjustment interface defines a recess for receiving an adjustment device.

8. The adjustable hinge of claim 1 , wherein the panel leaf comprises a panel barrel.

9. The adjustable hinge of claim 8 , further comprising a jamb leaf comprising a jamb barrel, wherein the jamb barrel and the panel barrel are substantially aligned.

10. The adjustable hinge of claim 9 , further comprising a pivot pin of a substantially uniform dimension along at least a portion thereof, wherein the pivot pin is located within the jamb barrel and the panel barrel.

11. The adjustable hinge of claim 10 , further comprising a cap inserted into at least one of the jamb barrel and the panel barrel.

12. The adjustable hinge of claim 1 , wherein the adjustment transfer element comprises a nut and the vertical adjustment element comprises a screw.

13. The adjustable hinge of claim 9 , further comprising a plurality of bushings located substantially within the jamb barrel and the panel barrel.

14. The adjustable hinge of claim 13 , wherein the bushings each comprise at least one rib to prevent a rotation within the jamb barrel and the panel barrel.

15. The adjustable hinge of claim 1 , wherein the panel leaf is pivotally mounted to portions of the plates opposite an edge portion of the panel leaf.

16. The adjustable hinge of claim 15 , wherein the edge portion of the panel leaf is adapted to rotaterelative to the plates.
