ABSTRACT:
A hinge structure for mounting a swingable member which is swingable relative to a body member, includes a first knuckle formed on the swingable member, a second knuckle formed on the body member coaxial with the first knuckle, and a pivot pin extending through the first and second knuckles to join the first and second knuckles to each other. The pivot pin is provided with a radial projection formed at one end thereof to extend radially outwards, a width of the radial projection being smaller than a diameter of the pivot pin. One of the first and second knuckles is provided with at least one groove which is formed at one end thereof, wherein the radial projection is fitted into the groove to prevent the pivot from rotating relative to the one of the first and second knuckles.
