1,006,520. Hinges. SPERRY RAND CORPORATION. Sept. 20, 1963 [Oct. 1, 1962], No. 37149/63. Heading E2F. A separable hinge, particularly for carrying cases, comprises a first part 25 with a pintle 37 attached to a case base 13 and a second part 45 attached to a case cover 17 having a pintle bearing slot 53, the part 45 incorporating a spring-loaded latch plate 77 such that the said plate prevents disengagement of the pintle from its slot unless the latch plate is urged back against the pressure of the spring 91. A tongue 51 of the second part, formed with a U-shaped bearing slot 53 locates within a recess 35 formed by two pintle-carrying side arms 31, 33 of the first part and is pivoted therein by the pintle/slot engagement. An H-shaped channel 61 is formed in the upper-surface 63 of the second part in which a co-operating H-shaped latch plate 77 is slidably mounted between the second part and the case cover. A dependant lip 87 of the forward latch plate leg 79 prevents pintle release since the latch plate is forwardly biased by the action of a leaf spring 91 against the rearward latch plate leg 81. Disengagement of the two parts may be achieved by urging the plate back against the spring pressure and engagement may be achieved by forcing the pintle against the dependant lip cam surface 85 until access to the slot 53 is achieved. |
