Abstract

An adjustable hinge system for coupling a first element to a second element is provided. The system includes a first hinge leaf defining a horizontal slot and a vertical slot, which is to be coupled to the first element, and a second hinge leaf to be coupled to the second element. The system also includes first and second eccentric fasteners, each including a head portion and a shaft portion, wherein the shaft portion extends off-axis from the head portion. The first eccentric fastener extends through the horizontal slot into the first element, with its head portion being fitly received within the horizontal slot and the shaft portion being rotatably received in the first element. Similarly, the second eccentric fastener extends through the vertical slot into the first element. Turning the head portion of the first or second eccentric fastener moves the first hinge leaf (and hence the second element) vertically or horizontally, respectively, relative to the first element.
