ABSTRACT:
An over-center, two-link hinge mechanism which can be made of simple off-the-shelf components has a hinged part pivotally mounted to a bar spaced apart from a frame. Two pivotally connected links connect the hinged part and the frame in front of the hinged part pivot point. A pre-tensioned volute spring connects an interlink pivot pin with the frame behind the hinged part pivot point. Two hinge mechanisms can be used back-to-back, in which case the pin connecting the link to the frame for one hinge can serve as an attachment point for the spring of the other hinge, and vice-versa.
