A hinge for rotatably mounting a barrier member to a structural member. The hinge comprises a first hinge assembly which comprises a first hinge bracket attachable to the structural member, a second hinge bracket attachable to the barrier member, a first hinge member mounted for rotation with the second hinge mounting bracket and a second hinge member mounted for rotation with the first hinge member. Both hinge members have correspondingly configured engaging surfaces which permit staged rotation between the hinge members. This facilitates a staged rotation of the barrier member in predetermined sequential increments as determined by the engaging surfaces. This first hinge assembly connects a lower portion of the barrier member to the structural member and is responsible for bearing substantially all of the weight of the barrier member. The invention further comprises at least a second hinge assembly for providing rotational alignment between an upper portion of the barrier member and the structural member.

A hinge for rotatably mounting a barrier member to structural means which comprises: (a) a first hinge assembly comprising (1) first hinge mounting means having means for attachment thereof to the structural means; (2) second hinge mounting means having means for attachment thereof to the barrier member; (3) a first hinge member removably mounted within an aperture for rotation with said second hinge mounting means; and (4) a second hinge member mounted for rotation with said first hinge member; said first and second hinge members each having engaging surfaces correspondingly configured to permit staged rotation between said first and second hinge members, thereby facilitating a staged rotation of said barrier member in predetermined sequential increments as determined by said respective engaging surfaces, said first hinge assembly connecting a lower portion of the barrier member to said structural means and bearing substantially all the weight of said barrier member; wherein said surfaces have corresponding engagement means to retain said first hinge member and said second mounting means in a predetermined position which thereby maintains the barrier member in at least one of at least three positions with respect to said structural means, which positions correspond to one opened position, one intermediate position and one closed position; and (b) a second hinge assembly for providing rotational alignment between an upper portion of the barrier member and the structural means, said second hinge assembly comprising (1) third hinge mounting means having means for attachment thereof to the structural means; (2) fourth hinge mounting means having means for attachment to an upper portion of the barrier member; (3) a third hinge member mounted for rotation with said fourth hinge mounting means; and (4) a fourth hinge member mounted for rotation with said third hinge member; said third and fourth hinge members each having relatively smooth engaging surfaces to facilitate rotation therebetween.
