Abstract: A butt mounting hinge capable of movement through at least a 270-degree range of motion. The hinge assembly has two base elements and three connection elements defining a total of five hinge connections. The base elements are butt mounting elements. Each base element provides two pair of hinge connections, while the fifth hinge connection rides in a slidable void provided by an intermediate connection element interconnecting the other two connection elements.

Abstract: An instrument case with a built in stand is provided. The present invention includes an enclosure on a rear surface of the instrument case. The stand may include a deploy arm and a leg. The deploy arm includes a top end and a bottom end. The bottom end is pivotally secured within the enclosure bay. The leg is pivotally secured in between the top end and bottom end of the deploy arm. The leg includes slider pins slidably engaged with slots formed in the enclosure bay. The stand comprises a deployed position and a retracted position. The deployed position includes the deploy arm and the leg pivoted away from the enclosure bay and supporting the instrument case in an upright position of a surface. The retracted position includes the deploy arm and the leg pivoted towards the enclosure bay such that the instrument case is easy to transport.
