Abstract:

A hinge has a cam having a securing mechanism for optionally affixing the cam to an object. The cam is rotatably coupled to the object along a first axis when the securing mechanism is not affixing the cam to the object. The hinge has a rotatable coupling mechanism to rotatably couple the cam to another object along an axis approximately parallel to, but offset from, the first axis. This invention provides the advantage of aligning two objects without requiring an exact initial positioning of the coupling mechanisms with respect to the two objects. Furthermore, the present invention allows for alignment without requiring multiple alignment attempts.
