<p>A pivotal joint for a cabinet door, receptacle lid or the like comprises two members interconnected by an articulated linkage, including two parallel pintles on each member serving as anchors for a pair of hinge straps, so as to be relatively swingable through about 90 DEG between an open and a closed position.

The tongue is loaded by an elastic insert bearing upon a wall of the first-mentioned member.</p> |
