Adjustable damped hinge mechanism

A bidirectional hinge mechanism comprising:

• a rotatable assembly comprising:
• a saddle comprising a first pin;
• a rotary speed limiter for damping a rotation of the saddle;
• and
• a shaft to which the saddle attaches and provides a single point of the rotation of the saddle in a first direction and a second direction from a neutral position of the saddle;
• and
• a hinge base assembly for supporting the shaft, the hinge base assembly comprising:
• a first hinge base housing;
• a first hinge base arm attached to a first end of the first hinge base housing;
• a second hinge base housing;
• a second hinge base arm attached to a first end of the second hinge base housing;
• a collar coupling a second end of the first hinge base housing to a second end of the second hinge base housing;
• a first torsion spring attached to the collar at a first end of the first torsion spring;
• a first tensioner attached to a second end of the first torsion spring and comprising a second pin for winding the first torsion spring when engaged by the first pin during the rotation of the saddle in the first direction;
• and
• a third pin that acts as a stop for the second pin when the saddle is in the neutral position, wherein the first pin is uninhibited during the rotation of the saddle in the second direction.
