Abstract: A hinge is provided which has a retaining member (40) and a hook member 90. The retaining member is attached to a first component and the hook member is attached to a second component to form a hinge joint. The hinge is able to provide a great degree of freedom of movement for the components because of the use of a hook member in the hinge. The hook member acts as a pivot point, while the retaining member prevents the hook member from being pulled away from the retaining member either laterally or transversely.
