Patent

CA 2285835

A hinge mechanism is disclosed which allows for pivotal attachment of a moveable member to a fixed frame member defining a linear edge of an opening. Such pivotal attachment allows for movement of the moveable member relative to the fixed frame member between a closed position, in which the moveable member is positioned substantially within the opening, and an open position, about a pivot axis aligned parallel and adjacent to the linear edge and positioned in offstanding spaced relation thereto. The hinge mechanism comprises a fixed hinge component and a moveable hinge component. The fixed hinge component comprises a base portion, mountable upon the fixed frame member, a longitudinally extending pin portion and a support arm extending between said portions in connecting relation. The pin portion has a substantially cylindrical outer surface and is terminally positioned on the support arm, a portion of said outer surface defining a first bearing surface. The moveable hinge component has a swinging portion, adapted for attachment to the moveable member, and a pivoting portion, having a concave inner second bearing surface concentric with the first bearing surface and being operatively mounted about said first bearing surface so as to provide for said pivotal movement. A first longitudinally extending shoulder projecting from the moveable hinge component and a second longitudinally extending shoulder projecting from the fixed hinge component, are arranged such that, upon the moveable hinge component pivoting to the open position, the first shoulder impinges upon the second shoulder to arrest further opening rotation.
