ABSTRACT:
Hinge structure for mounting a door to a cabinet for selective opening of the door from either side of the cabinet. The hinge structure includes a slide bar which is selectively positionable as a result of the opening of the door from either side of the cabinet to a thrown position. The structure includes locking elements for retaining the slide bar in the thrown position as long as the door remains pivoted open, thereby preventing the pivoting hinge structure from being removed from the cabinet. A second safety lock is provided for effectively positively preventing withdrawal of the pivoting hinge pin from the pivot slot while the door remains open from the opposite side of the cabinet. In one form, the structure for retaining the slide bar in the thrown position includes a pivotal member, and in another embodiment, the retaining structure is defined by a closely coiled spring.
