  • Patent number: 4603452
    Abstract: An easily separable but conventional-appearing hinge wherein the hinge flaps can be connected or disconnected to/from one another without relative lengthwise displacement of the flaps by employing short axial movement of the hinge pin. The flaps thus may be hingedly securely connected together, or disconnected and separated within limited space. The flaps have tubular knuckles with adjacent space or gaps so knuckles of one flap can be interdigitated with knuckles of the other flap and held together by the hinge pin. Knuckles of one flap are slotted longitudinally forming open sided or split tubes; those of the other flap are fully tubular, i.e., unslotted. The removable hinge pin has adjacent cylindrical and flat portions, the latter positionable in gaps longitudinally aligned with the full tube knuckles of one of the flaps.
