ABSTRACT:
A hinge assembly and method for opening and closing for a cargo container door is disclosed which maximizes the accessible area to the container and minimizes the clearance needed to open and close the door. The result is accomplished by means of a double action hinge whereby a spacing member is pivotally connected to the top of a cargo container and to the door of said container, the spacing member providing the means to open the door with smaller clearance on the top and also providing the means to allow the door to come to rest on the top of the container in a statically stable condition. A strap assembly and guiding and locking members are also disclosed which are used in performing the method of opening the door of a cargo container disclosed herein and also claimed.
