Hinge system for a laundry machine

A laundry machine comprising:

• a cabinet;
• a lid secured to a top of the cabinet and configured to transition between open and closed positions;
• and
• a hinge rotatably securing the lid to the cabinet such the lid transitions between the open and closed positions via the hinge, the hinge comprising,
• a post protruding upward from the top of the cabinet, and
• an L-shaped bracket disposed along a bottom of the lid and configured to rotatably engage the post to transition the lid between the open and closed positions, wherein (i) the L-shaped bracket includes first and second legs, (ii) the first leg is secured to the lid, (iii) the second leg rotatably engages the post, (iv) the second leg defines a notch, (v) the post is disposed within the notch, (vi) an internal surface of the L shaped bracket partially defines the notch, (vii) the post includes a base, (viii) the internal surface is configured to engage the base to limit a rotational range of the lid and maintain the lid in the open position.

A laundry machine comprising:

• a cabinet defining an internal cavity;
• a lid secured to a top of the cabinet and configured to transition between open and closed positions;
• and
• first and second opposing hinges rotatably securing first and second lower corners of the lid to the cabinet, respectively, such that the lid transitions between the open and closed positions via the hinges, each of the first and second hinges comprising,
• a post protruding upward from the top of the cabinet proximate to an opening to the internal cavity, and
• an L-shaped bracket disposed along a bottom of the lid and configured to rotatably engage the corresponding post to transition the lid between the open and closed positions, wherein (i) each L-shaped bracket includes first and second legs, (ii) each first leg is disposed within a C-channel defined along a peripheral edge of the lid, (iii) each second leg is disposed along a back edge of the lid, (iv) each second leg rotatably receives the corresponding post, (v) a first internal surface of each L-shaped bracket partially defines a notch configured to receive a correspond post, (vi) each a first internal surface further defines a bushing orifice extending away from the notch, (vii) each post includes a base and a pin protruding outward from the base, (viii) each pin is disposed within the corresponding bushing orifice such that each L-shaped bracket and the lid are rotatable about the posts via the engagement between each pin and bushing orifice, (ix) a second internal surface of each L-shaped bracket partially defines the notch, and (x) each second internal surface is configured to engage the corresponding base to limit a rotational range of the lid and maintain the lid in the open position.
