A mounting means for fixing a hinge relative to a container wall. A hinge receiving element is provided with an inner plate having an outer lip joined thereto by an intermediate web. The container wall is received between and thus reinforced by the aforesaid inner plate and outer lip, with the intermediate web being supported on a wall edge. Preferably, the inner plate has upstanding ears, the intermediate web is notched at one end, and the container wall has inwardly protruding flange segments at opposite ends of the aforesaid wall edge. The notch permits both pivotal and lateral movement of the hinge receiving element in order to position the upstanding ears on the inner plate beneath and in contact with the undersides of the flange segments on the wall member. The inner plate is adapted to receive a hinge leaf in engagement therewith, and the hinge leaf, when thus engaged, prevents reverse lateral movement of the hinge receiving element. |
