A hinge assembly for interconnecting first and second panels (26, 28) and providing for rotation of said first panel with respect to said second panel around an axis of rotation between a first relative position and a second relative position, the hinge assembly comprising: a first bracketing body having first and second planar members (34, 36) and a first bearing member, said first bearing member comprising a curved first bearing arm partially surrounding but spaced from a hinge pin; a second bracketing body having third and fourth planar members, and a second bearing member pivotally engaged with the first bearing member, said second bearing member comprising a curved second bearing arm that terminates in a hinge barrel partially encircling and engaging said hinge pin; a third bracketing body having fifth and sixth planar members (136, 138); a fourth bracketing body having seventh and eighth planar members (166, 168); a first thermal insulating body positioned between and separating said first and third bracketing bodies (32, 134); a second thermal insulating body positioned between and separating said second and fourth bracketing bodies (84, 164); wherein the first bearing member further comprises: a convex first bearing surface of said hinge pin having a first radius R1 from the axis rotation; at least one concave second bearing surface of said first bearing arm having a second radius R2 from the axis of rotation, wherein R2 is greater than R1; a convex exterior third bearing surface of said first bearing arm having a third radius R3 from the axis of rotation, wherein R3 is greater than R2; characterized in that the hinge assembly further comprises a first panel receiving volume at least partially defined by said first, second, fifth and sixth planar members (34, 36, 136, 138) of said first and third bracketing bodies (32, 134); and a second panel receiving volume at least partially defined by said third, fourth, seventh and eighth planar members (86, 88, 166, 168) of said second and fourth bracketing bodies (89, 164); and in that the first bearing member further comprises: a stop member extending from the exterior third bearing surface of said first bearing arm. a first bracketing body having first and second planar members (34, 36) and a first bearing member, said first bearing member comprising a curved first bearing arm partially surrounding but spaced from a hinge pin; a second bracketing body having third and fourth planar members, and a second bearing member pivotally engaged with the first bearing member, said second bearing member comprising a curved second bearing arm that terminates in a hinge barrel partially encircling and engaging said hinge pin; a third bracketing body having fifth and sixth planar members (136, 138); a fourth bracketing body having seventh and eighth planar members (166, 168); a first thermal insulating body positioned between and separating said first and third bracketing bodies (32, 134); a second thermal insulating body positioned between and separating said second and fourth bracketing bodies (84, 164); wherein the first bearing member further comprises: a convex first bearing surface of said hinge pin having a first radius R1 from the axis rotation; at least one concave second bearing surface of said first bearing arm having a second radius R2 from the axis of rotation, wherein R2 is greater than R1; a convex exterior third bearing surface of said first bearing arm having a third radius R3 from the axis of rotation, wherein R3 is greater than R2; a convex first bearing surface of said hinge pin having a first radius R1 from the axis rotation; at least one concave second bearing surface of said first bearing arm having a second radius R2 from the axis of rotation, wherein R2 is greater than R1; a convex exterior third bearing surface of said first bearing arm having a third radius R3 from the axis of rotation, wherein R3 is greater than R2; a stop member extending from the exterior third bearing surface of said first bearing arm.
