Abstract:
A dynamic platform with extending struts has fastened thereto a bi-directional torsional power unit to selectively deliver force opposing either extension or flexion, and to provide assistance in a respective opposite direction. The power unit is threadably mounted on a hinge pin (spline) centrally located on the platform, and is latched to a catch assembly radially located thereto, the hinge pin of the platform communicating with one end of a torsion spring of the power unit and the catch assembly communicating with another end of the torsion spring, to selectively deliver the extension/flexion force. The power unit can be detached, with simple manual operation of the catch assembly, without tools, flipped over and reattached to the same platform attachment points to switch (reverse) extension torque to flexion torque and vice versa.

Claim (Index 11):
The hinge assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a platform, where the first strut and the second strut form at least a portion thereof; the platform further including a joint assembly comprising the pivot point and the spline, where the spline is threaded and is workably fixed to one of the first strut or the second strut, the other of the first strut and the second strut having the catch located thereon; and a power unit including:\n the torsion spring; and \n a housing around and enclosing the torsion spring, the housing having an internally threaded reception slot centrally located on each side thereof, the reception slot workably communicating with the first end of the torsion spring, removably connecting the first end of the torsion spring to the threaded spline, the housing further having a catch receiver located on each side thereof, the catch receiver workably communicating with the second end of the torsion spring, removably connecting the second end of the torsion spring to the extending catch; \n wherein, with a first housing side exposed away from the platform, the power unit attaches to the platform to apply a bias force opposing relative pivotal movement between the first and the second struts in a first of two directions, and aiding pivotal movement in a second of the two directions; and wherein, with a second housing side exposed away from the platform, the power unit attaches to the platform to apply a bias force opposing relative pivotal movement between the first and the second struts in the second direction, and aiding pivotal movement in the first direction.
