Abstract:
A parallel hinge ( 10 ) for holding an opening member in a frame. The hinge ( 10 ) includes a first arm ( 11 ) connected between a fixed pivot ( 16 ) mountable on one of the member and frame and a movable pivot ( 17 ) mountable on the other of member and frame. The hinge ( 10 ) includes a second arm ( 12 ) connected between a fixed pivot ( 18 ) mountable on the other of the member and frame and a movable pivot ( 19 ) mountable on the one of the member and frame. The arms ( 11, 12 ) being pivotally connected ( 13 ) intermediate their ends to allow a scissor action. One of the arms ( 12 ) has two portions ( 14, 15 ) such that one portion lies above the other arm at the intermediate pivot and the other portion lies below, such that on closing the arms can overlie one another. Each of the portions ( 14, 15 ) of the arm ( 12 ) has a first end mountable on one of the member and frame, and a second opposed end providing a load transfer member ( 22, 23 ) extending beyond the intermediate pivot ( 13 ). The load transfer member ( 22, 23 ) of each portion is engaged with the other portion in order to distribute the load uniformly across at least a portion of the arm ( 12 ).

Claim (Index 9):
A hinge as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein each portion of the arm provides at least one first engagement feature located on a load transfer member and at least one second engagement feature for cooperative engagement with the at least one first engagement feature provided by the load transfer member of the other portion of the arm.
