PCT No. PCT/GB92/01100 Sec. 371 Date May 31, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date May 31, 1994 PCT Filed Jun. 18, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/22721 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 23, 1992.A hinge which serves to hingedly mount a door on an upright member of a rectangular frame which defines an opening into a container. The hinge has a seating portion that is capable of attachment to the outer face of the door and a two-part offset portion carrying a pivot mounting that forms an offset hinge axis which enables the door to move to a closed position within the plane of the opening defined by the frame. The offset portion has a first part which adjoins the seating portion at a neck region and which is stepped with respect to the seating portion to define a shallow recess between the underside of the offset portion and the outer face of the door into which a flange portion of a door edge seal can be received. The second part of the offset portion extends outwardly away from the first part to carry the pivot mounting which forms the offset hinge axis. A groove is formed in the neck region of the seating portion opening towards the face of the door, and a port communicating with the groove is formed in the hinge opening away from the outer face of the door. A sealant can be injected into the groove through the port to provide a sealant barrier along the interface between the neck region and the face of the door preventing ingress of moisture to the underside of the hinge. |
