Abstract: An integrated hinge for connecting an article of a furniture assembly to one or more articles or a main body of the furniture assembly comprising a multi-rod rigid structure and a flexible membrane. The multi-rod rigid structure comprises two or more rods arranged in a default shape, wherein each of the rods functions as a hinge arm, and wherein the rods are lateral-rotatable or pivot-able about an intersecting or meeting point of the rods. The flexible membrane has a three-dimensional contour configured to wrap around the multi-rod rigid structure tightly, fixing the multi-rod rigid structure in its default shape. The flexible membrane can be configured to wrap around the integrated hinge and articles of furniture assembly forming a single integrated furniture piece. The elasticity in the flexible membrane turns the integrated hinge into a spring hinge.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel hinge design that allows unique operation of the lid for a container, box, storage chest, ice chest or similar item. In addition to the lid being able to flip up on two hinges as is traditional, the present invention allows the lid to swivel to one side or the other, while remaining in the horizontal plane. This is accomplished, in the exemplary embodiment, by means of two inventive ball-and-socket hinges each of which can have its ball disengaged from its socket. If one ball-and-socket hinge is thus disengaged, the lid is then free to rotate horizontally around the other ball-and-socket hinge, thereby swiveling the lid to one side and effectively opening the box or container. The lid, when opened in this fashion, is amply supported by the end of the box over which it sits, and can act as a table or flat surface for organizing items as they are transferred to or from the box or container.
