Abstract: A unique hinge construction is provided for pivotally connecting a cover to a main body of a transceiver. The main body comprises a base and upstanding sidewalls and an endwall. Movable between a closed position generally overlying the main body and an operative angularly disposed position, the cover includes a pair of spaced apart ears projecting from an end thereof, the ears having opposed key slots formed therein being aligned with opposed mounting bores in the sidewalls adjacent the endwall. A pair of hinge shafts are rotatably received in an associated one of the mounting bores in the sidewalls on the main body. Each hinge shaft includes a key member engageable with an associated one of the key slots in the opposed ears for rotation therewith and a central member having a uniformly contoured outer surface defined by elevationally opposed convex shaped lobes, laterally opposed concave shaped depressions, and smooth transition zones joining the lobes and said depressions.
