ABSTRACT:
A hinge structure is disclosed for hingedly joining a cover or lid member with a base or housing member of an overall unit, such as a control lens disinfector, or the like. The base or container member carries, in opposing side wall portions, a pair of coaxial, axially spaced cylindrical bores or apertures, while the cover member carries, in opposing side wall portions, a pair of coaxial, axially spaced and oppositely outwardly extending rod-like pins or pintle members. The axial spacing of these pins or pintles is similar to that of the bores or apertures of the base member. A pair of slots or openings are provided in an end wall of the cover member, being generally adjacent the confluences of the respective side walls with the end wall, one such slot being disposed immediately axially inwardly of each of the pin or pintle members. Advantageously, the slots provide for resilient movement of the side wall portions of the cover member adjacent the pin or pintle members. This resilient movement permits inward compression of these side wall portions for alignment of the pin or pintle members with the cooperating base member bores or apertures. Upon cessation of such compression, the cover member side wall portions resiliently return to their original shape, thus inserting the rod-like members for pivotal or rotative movement within their cooperating base member bores to define the assembled hinge structure.
