ABSTRACT:
A releaseable hinge mechanism for use with a cover member, a bottom housing member having a deflectable support wall and a top housing member having a facing margin adjacent the support wall. A hinge is connected to the cover member and includes a central elongate portion terminating in a flatted distal end with a pair of flanking pivot pin portions received in a pair of cradle members located on the support wall. A compound bracket located on the facing margin has a spaced pair of relatively inflexible brace portions in facing relation with the flatted distal end and normally engaged in surface contact with the flatted end when the cover member is opened. The compound bracket includes a deflectable finger located between the pair of brace portions and arranged for surface contact with a pressure finger located on the top edge of the flatted distal end when the cover member is moved between a closed position and the opened position. The bracket further includes a spaced pair of retaining fingers extending over the distal end of the hinge to restrict upward movement of the pivot pin portions away from the cradle members until the cover member is forceably moved to an overtravel position in which the support wall is progressively deflected away from the facing margin by contact between the lower edge of the flatted surface and the brace portions until the distal end of the hinge is released from the retaining fingers.
