ABSTRACT:
A hinge structure for refuse containers having a body and a top opening and a lid for the opening, in which the lid is attached to the body by a hinge structure having a torque bar therein for assisting in the opening of the lid. The torque bar runs along the back of the lid and has laterally extending ends which engage abutments on the body to apply torque to cause the bar to exert a lifting force to the lid. The ends disengage the abutments after the lid has been opened to a predetermined point so that the lid can be easily and fully opened without the torque bar interfering with the full opening of the lid. The lid can be easily lifted to empty refuse into the container and will fully reclose itself notwithstanding the restraining effect of the torque bar.
