ABSTRACT:
A stop motion hinge for use on garbage cans utilizes a spring loaded hinge for stop motion of the lid. A spring loaded washer or plate with a series of bumps abuts the sides of the hinge. The sides of the hinge member have a series of apertures to allow the bumps to protrude through. The base member in connection with the hinge also has a series of apertures corresponding to the bumps so that as the hinge is moved, the pressure of the washer will force the bumps to lock into the set of apertures so that the hinge will form a fixed connection with base member when the lid is raised. The hinge is used on garbage cans in connection with the lid so that a lid with stop motion function is created. The hinge is preferably attached by a pop rivet to make installation easy.
