A hinge movable between an extended position and a collapsed position via a hyper-extended position comprising a primary member, a secondary member and a coupling between the members, the coupling movable between a rotating position and a locking position and comprising: a pin connected to the secondary member; a retainer formed in the primary member in which the pin is retained, the primary member being rotatable about the pin and the pin being movable along at least a portion of the length of the retainer; a first arm connected to the primary member for acting against movement of the primary member relative to the pin in a first direction along the length of the retainer; and a second arm connected to the primary member for acting against movement of the primary member relative to the pin in a second direction along the length of the retainer.
A hinge movable between an extended position and a collapsed position via a hyper-extended position comprising a primary member, a secondary member and a coupling between the members, the coupling movable between a rotating position and a locking position and comprising:
A hinge movable between an extended position and a collapsed position, the hinge for moving an element between a lower position and a raised position with respect to a wall and for retaining the element in the element's raised position, the hinge comprising four members, each member rotatably connected to at least two of the other members, wherein two of the members when the hinge is in the extended position form a retaining coupling in which the rotatable connection between the two members is out of alignment with a theoretical line between the two members other rotatable connections.
