Patent number: 8539644Abstract: A locking hinge assembly for an injector is disclosed. The injector includes a forward handle member, a rear handle member and a hinge connecting the first and second members and defining an axis of rotation. The locking hinge assembly includes a hinge element slidable along the axis of rotation between a locked position and an unlocked position. The hinge element is coupled to the forward handle member and the rear handle member at the hinge, and the hinge element includes at least one groove. Additionally, a locking element is provided and positioned about the hinge. The locking element is configured to be received in the groove such that rotation of the forward handle member and rear handle member about the axis of rotation is prevented when the hinge element is in the locked configuration.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2008Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Mallinckrodt LLCInventor: Shawn P.

Patent number: 4494275Abstract: A swinging door hinge assembly comprises a primary hinge and a secondary hinge. By way of an axle rotating on a staircase-shaped axle seat in the primary hinge, the door can be opened in either direction, slowly closed, or opened at a wide angle for a long time. The secondary hinge includes an inner and an outer eccentric axle bushing by which the secondary hinge can automatically adjust its axis to be in alignment with that of the primary hinge, i.e., in a co-axial alignment in case of the door hinge assembly generating any eccentric condition. Otherwise, the door cannot be operated smoothly in case the two hinges are not co-axially aligned. The door hinge assembly may be easily assembled or disassembled, between the left and right side primary hinge pieces, and also between the left and right side secondary hinge pieces.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1982Date of Patent: January 22, 1985Assignee: Sun Longitude CorporationInventor: Chen Hsi-Shan
