ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a folding structure and more particularly, to a novel hinge mechanism for use with a folding structure. The hinge mechanism comprises a corner joint with at least one flange extending therefrom. A pivotal support means is provided with a securing means to secure the corner joint to the support means to provide a pivotal connection thereto. The novel hinge mechanism when used with the folding structure provides a device which is simple to manufacture, easy to use and which requires no special tools or expertise to assemble or disassemble. It can be quickly and easily converted from a folded position to an unfolded position and vice versa.
