<p>A detended and dampened hinge mechanism (10) with push-pull and pull-push operation is disclosed. The present invention relates generally to a hinge mechanism that includes a first arm (12) and a second arm (14) that are pivotally connected to one another such that the arms can be moved relative to one another between a closed position and an open position. A damper (16) is fitted into a cutout of the second arm such that the damper can engage with a length of teeth (62) of the first arm when the hinge mechanism moves between the open and closed positions. Biasing means (18) is fitted between hooks or bosses of the arms, and biases the first and second arms toward the open position.</p> |
