Abstract:
A hinge comprising:a first element including a hollow central body, a hinge pin and a fastening pin being transversely mounted in the hollow central body; a second element including a strip extended therefrom, the strip including an opening in a middle thereof, the strip including a distal portion that is extended into the hollow central body and wound around the hinge pin and forms a stop that is associated with the opening; and a spring mounted around the fastening pin, the spring including a first end attached to a bottom of the hollow central body and a second end that is extended through the opening and attached to the stop of the strip, thereby providing control between the first element and the second element by elasticity of the spring; whereby when the second element is in the closed position, the second end of the spring is attached to the stop of the strip and thus cannot be rotated until the spring force of the spring is overcome by moving the second end of the spring across the stop and into the opening; and when the second element rotates, rotation of the second element is impeded by the spring.
