ABSTRACT:
A versatile hinge arrangement is disclosed which advantageously prevents binding when multiple hinges are employed on oval or similarly shaped windows such as marine windows. The hinge includes a first hinge member having two arms with aligned central holes for holding a hinge pin in an axially fixed position with respect to the first hinge member. The hinge also includes a second hinge member having a pivot head with a pivot chamber through which passes the portion of the hinge pin between the arms of the first hinge member. The mid portion of the pivot chamber is narrower than the ends of the pivot chamber such that a central pivot is formed at the mid portion of the pivot chamber. In this manner, the first hinge member and the hinge pin attached thereto are permitted to pivot both axially and radially about the central pivot of the second hinge member's pivot chamber. Binding of the hinge as the hinge pivots is thus advantageously avoided.
