Patent ID: 8261923

Claim:
A stabilizing hinge assembly comprising: a hinge including a hinge member and a hinge receiver configured to receive the hinge member, the engagement of the hinge receiver with the hinge member defining a hinge axis; a stabilizing ledge fixedly connected to one of the hinge member and the hinge receiver; and a stabilizing hook fixedly connected to the other of the hinge member and the hinge receiver, wherein the stabilizing hook is configured to contact and abut the stabilizing ledge when the stabilizing hook is rotated about the hinge axis to a first position and wherein the stabilizing hook is configured to separate from the stabilizing ledge when the stabilizing hook is rotated about the hinge axis to a second position, wherein the first position and the second position are approximately 90° apart, and wherein abutment of the stabilizing ledge and the stabilizing hook precludes further rotation of the hinge assembly past the first position.
