Abstract:
1. A hinge assembly movable between an open position and a closed position, the hinge assembly comprising: a first hinge member including a first body portion, a second hinge member including a second body portion, the first and second body portions being pivotally connected to one another and having a common longitudinal axis so that the first and second hinge members are rotatable to move the hinge assembly between the open and closed positions, the first and second body portions also having aligned internal bores with a non circular cross section, a lock bar having a size and cross section adapted to engage the internal bores of the first and second hinge members, the lock bar being movable longitudinally between a first position and a second position, so that when the lock bar is in the first position, said lock bar engages said internal bores of the first and second body portions and the first and second hinge members are not rotatable relative to one another, and when the lock bar is in the second position, said lock bar disengages from one of the internal bores and the first and second hinge members can rotate relative to one another, and a magnetic latch cooperating between one of the first or second hinge members and the lock bar to hold the lock bar in one of the first or second positions.
