ABSTRACT:
A hinge is adapted to be mounted in either of two mountings, a first or flush mounting which enables closing of a cover so that it touches a container portion, and a second or spaced mounting in which the cover is maintained in spaced relation to the container portion. The hinge comprises a strap which is detachably coupled to a hinge base. The strap comprises a strap plate and at least two hooks affixed thereto. The hinge base comprises a hinge plate having an aperture in a center portion thereof a vertically protruding arcuate rib, and a support bar. In a first mounting the strap is detachably and rotatably mounted on the support bar of the hinge base so that both hooks of the strap are mounted on the support bar. In the second mounting the cover is initially detached from the container, laterally displaced along the axis of the support bar, and replaced so that only one of the hooks is mounted on the support bar. In this position the vertically protruding rib portion of the hinge base contacts the strap plate, maintaining the strap plate in a position parallel to and spaced from the hinge plate. As a result the cover is maintained parallel to and spaced from the container. In addition, if the cover is a two part cover, the second mounting maintains the two covers in positions spaced from one another.
