  • Patent number: 4826464
    Abstract: A pivot structure comprises a one-piece plastic support including a parallelepiped rectangular body having a sidewall and a pivot bracket projecting from this sidewall. It comprises also a one-piece plastic bar section which includes a base plate, a columnar connector having an essentially constant cross-section and projecting from one face of the base plate; an L-shaped connector with a first leg upstanding at one end from one edge of the base plate, spacedly of the columnar connector, and a second leg projecting outwardly from the other end of the first leg, away from the columnar connector. The support section and the bar section are interconnected by a pivot arrangement on both the bracket of the support section and on the free end of the second leg of the L-shaped connector to allow for relative pivotal movement of the support section and bar section about an axis which is parallel to the sidewall of the support section.
