ABSTRACT:
A damped hinge and angled mounting bracket are provided to mount the damped hinge to a bin so that the lid of the bin opens freely and closes in a damped fashion. The damped hinge includes a housing and a sprocket support. The sprocketed support connects to a supporting wall. The angled mounting bracket includes a first leg and a second leg. The first leg mounts to a lid of the bin, and the second leg fastens to the housing of the damped hinge. The lid then moves freely to an open position and in a damped fashion to its closed position.
