ABSTRACT:
A hinging mechanism attaching an access panel to a housing is provided that has a latching device rigidly mounted to the inner surface of the panel and releasably pivotally secured to the interior surface of the housing, whereby the panel is detachable from the housing and free to move between open and closed positions. Preferably, the mechanism further includes a linkage member movably mounted to the interior surface, whereby the mechanism has articulation at independent points between the housing and the panel. The mechanism is also preferably one where the latching device includes a latch-bracket and a latch, the latch being pivotally attached to the latch-bracket.
