Claims20
An interlocking hinge, comprising:
- a first hinge member;
- a second hinge member;
- the first hinge member includes a base side and a hinge side, and the second hinge member includes a base side and a hinge side;
- the hinge side of the first hinge member includes a rounded outer surface having ribs, which define one or more spaces;
- the hinge side of the first hinge member includes one or more protrusions;
- the hinge side of the second hinge member includes a rounded outer surface having ribs, which define one or more spaces;
- the hinge side of the second hinge member includes one or more protrusions;
- the one or more protrusions of the hinge side of the first hinge member seat in the one or more spaces of the hinge side of the second hinge member;
- the one or more protrusions of the hinge side of the second hinge member seat in the one or more spaces of the hinge side of the first hinge member;
- and
- wherein the first hinge member and the second hinge member are configured to interlock in a separable engagement.

An interlocking hinge, comprising:
- a first hinge member;
- a second hinge member;
- the first hinge member includes a pivot pin, the pivot pin configured to insert into a central opening of the second hinge member and rotate within the central opening;
- the first hinge member includes a base side and a hinge side, and the second hinge member includes a base side and a hinge side;
- and,
- wherein the hinge side of the first hinge member includes a rounded outer surface having ribs, which define a space, and the space receives a protrusion from the hinge side of the second hinge member to interlock the first hinge member and the second hinge member, wherein the hinge side of the second hinge member includes a rounded outer surface having ribs, which define a space, and the space receives a protrusion from the hinge side of the first hinge member to interlock the first hinge member and the second hinge member.
