Abstract

See full text

An adjustable friction hinge that implements a sex bolt in the barrel of the hinge is disclosed. One or more washers can be concentrically arranged about the sex bolt and can interact with the portions of the leaves of the hinge to create the necessary friction to maintain a desired hinge position. An indent can also be provided on the friction hinge to abut an interior of the sex bolt and prevent loosening of the sex bolt during use. The sex bolt acts as a more stable structural backbone as compared to the prior art adjustable hinge and includes a receiving portion where a common tool can be used to reduce or increase the amount of friction in the hinge. The washer configuration of the present application exhibits little to no wear characteristics over time.
