Abstract:
A hinge assembly, including:a first hinge member having front and rear surfaces and a substantially semi-circular shaped first abutment surface spaced substantially equiradially about a substantially centrally provided pivot orifice; a second hinge member having a second abutment surface being substantially of complementary shape to mate with said first abutment surface, and having a locking pin orifice therethrough; a link member for releasably attaching said first and second hinge members and having a pair of orifices therethrough, the first of which is adapted to align with said pivot orifice and receive a pivot pin therethrough and a second of which is adapted to align with said locking pin orifice and receive a locking pin therethrough; such that, said first and second hinge members can pivot relative to each other in a manner whereby said abutment surfaces are maintained substantially proximal to one another so as to substantially prevent human fingers or other objects being provided or pinched between said abutment surfaces.
