  • Loose-Pin Hinge and Hinge Pin with Integrated Stop
    Publication number: 20120117760
    Abstract: A loose-pin hinge with integrated stop includes a first hinge leaf having a knuckle having a bore therethrough and a second hinge leaf including a lower knuckle and an upper knuckle each having a bore therethrough. The lower knuckle and the upper knuckle are interdigitially mated with the knuckle of the first leaf such that the bores of the knuckles are coaxially aligned. The hinge further includes a hinge pin having a shank, a head disposed at an upper end of the shank, and a stop member extending radially outward from the head. The shank of the hinge pin is received through the coaxially aligned bores of the knuckles to enable the first leaf to pivot about the hinge pin with respect to the second leaf, the stop member limiting the pivoting of the first leaf to a maximum pivoting angle with respect to the second leaf.
