Abstract
A hinge assembly (15) comprises a first part (12) having a first hinge member (16), and a second part (14) having a second hinge member (18). The first and first and second hinge members (16, 18) form a pivot arrangement (20) to allow the first part (12) to pivot relative to the second part (14). A hinge pin (22) extends across the pivot arrangement (20), thereby pivotally attaching the first part (12) to the second part (14). The hinge pin (22) and the pivot arrangement (20) include a securing arrangement (26) to inhibit extraction of the hinge pin (22) from the pivot arrangement (20).
Claims26
A hinge assembly comprising:
- a first part having a first hinge member;
- a second part having a second hinge member, the first and second hinge members forming a pivot arrangement to allow the first part to pivot relative to the second part;
- and a hinge pin extending across the pivot arrangement, thereby pivotally attaching the first part to the second part;
