Abstract: In a seatback pivotable joint, a pin, having an annular groove formed around the axis thereof, is secured to a stationary member of a vehicle body. A bracket having an opening therein is secured to the seatback. The pin passes through the opening of the bracket so that the annular groove of the pin is located behind the opening with respect to the stationary member. A catcher is provided for engaging the annular groove of the pin and for retaining the catcher in a predetermined position. A device for moving the catcher is supported by the bracket and moves the catcher from its inoperative position to the predetermined operative position thereby retaining the bracket relative to the pin.

Abstract: A detachable hinge assembly for a toilet, which pivotally connects a toilet seat and cover to a toilet bowl, wherein most of the hinge assembly, while remaining pivotally connected to the seat and cover, may be detached from the toilet bowl, leaving only a pair of mounting studs, which are part of the hinge assembly, attached to the toilet bowl.

Abstract: A hinge of separable parts comprising a leaf part adapted to be mounted on a door and a pin part adapted to be mounted on a support from which the door is to be swung.

Abstract: A hinge pin, preferably made of plastic material comprises, in a first embodiment, a serrated portion which extends outwardly of the hinge and a cap member which snappingly and resiliently engages the serrated member, the serrated member being severable to adjust for hinge length. In other embodiments, the hinge pin has resilient flap-like members which normally extend outwardly of the shank of the hinge pin, and which are resiliently present against the hinge pin during insertion of the hinge. The flap-like members flapping outwardly after passing through the hinge to secure the hinge pin in place. In other embodiments, first and second members, which extend into the hinge pin opening of a hinge from opening ends thereof, are interconnected by a spring member which extends outwardly of the hinge to retain the hinge pin in place.
