Hinge system for a modular bulk container

摘要

A panel (10) for a modular bulk container is described. The panel (10) has a frame (16) and a door (18) pivotally attached to the frame (16) by a hinge (20). The frame (16) has a first frame surface defining a first imaginary plane and an opposing second frame surface defining a second imaginary plane. The door (18) has a first door surface. The hinge (20) is extendable from a portion of the frame (16). The hinge (20) has a single pivoting axis and is movable from a first position in the door closed condition wherein the hinge (20) is entirely located between the first imaginary plane and the second imaginary plane to a second position located outwardly from the first position in a door open condition wherein an angle between the first imaginary plane and the first door surface is less than 30 degrees.
