Pivot mounts for panels
Abstract There is provided herein a pivot mount for a panel having a housing and a pivot member slidably engaged by the housing. The panel is pivotally engaged by the pivot member. A threaded shaft is rotatably engaged between the housing and the pivot member to rotate about a threaded shaft rotational axis. Rotation of the threaded shaft about the threaded shaft rotational axis causes the pivot member to slide with respect to the housing. The mount further comprises an adjustment member rotatably engaged by the housing to rotate about an adjustment member rotational axis such that the adjustment member rotational axis and the threaded shaft rotational axis are nonparallel and are typically orthogonal. The adjustment member exposes a tool engagement such as an Allen key socket through an upper surface of the housing. As such, the socket is conveniently accessible through an upper surface of the housing for the pivot point adjustment thereof with an Allen key or the like, negating the more difficult requirement to insert tools in alignment with the shaft within recessed channels. Furthermore, the location of the Allen key socket and the utilisation of an Allen key in embodiments may allow for adjustment of the pivot point without obstruction of the adjacent panel. 155 156 157 149 142 130 11314 1147 120" 151 148154 144 -104 Figure 9 143 1532 1 6153 13 0 ------------------- -- 144145 130 140 139 Figure 10
