ABSTRACT:
A quick-release hinge arrangement is provided for releasably-pivotally supporting two members and more particularly a section of a truck hood and its adjacent side panel. This arrangement includes a first hinge leaf connected with a first one of the members, for example the section of the truck hood just mentioned, and a second hinge leaf connected with a second one of the members, for example the adjacent side panel. An arrangement is provided for releasably-pivotally connecting the hinge leafs together and includes a set of first and second cooperating closed knuckles forming part of the first and second leafs, respectively, a quick-release pin removably inserted through cooperating knuckles for pivotally connecting the leafs together, a fixed pin carried by one of the leafs, and an open knuckle which is formed as part of the other leaf and which releasably-pivotally receives the fixed pin. In that way, with the quick-release pin in place within its closed knuckles, two members are pivotally supported to one another. When the release pin is removed, two members may be separated from one another but, upon initial release of the pin, remain supported to one another.
