ABSTRACT:
A hinge (5) having a first, relatively stationary yoke (8) and a second, relatively rotating yoke (10). A torquing means (17) fixed with respect to the first yoke (8) transmits torque to the second yoke (10) via a block (18) retained within a cavity (20) of an elongated hinge pin (15) that is aligned along the axis of rotation (z) of the two yokes (8, 10). The torquing means (17) is coupled to the hinge pin (15). The yokes (8, 10) self-align about two orthogonal axes (x, y) that are also orthogonal to the axis of rotation (z). The block (18) is free to pivot within the cavity (20) about the x axis, while the second yoke (10) is free to pivot about the y axis about the hinge pin (15) and block (18).
