Publication number: 20240000597Abstract: A hinge has a hinge body forming an articulating section extending between a first end and a second end of the hinge. The articulating section is adapted to bend from a neutral axis when the first and second ends are parallel to an angular range in which the first end is arranged among a plurality of angles within the angular range relative to the second end. The hinge body may define a receptacle along the articulating section, and an insert may be provided for insertion into the receptacle. The insert can modify the stiffness of the hinge in the angular range and is arranged parallel to the neutral axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Larus GUNNSTEINSSON, Bjorn OMARSSON, Sindri Pall SIGURDSSON, Henry HSU
