DEFINITION
Classification: 16/348
By transversely moving pin in slot:
(under subclass 319) Hinge wherein the means to fix or retard the movement of the hinged members* comprises an element which protrudes into and is guided by a laterally elongated aperture in the hinge, whereby the element is confined to laterally traverse said aperture as a hinged member swings about the hinge axis*.
(1) Note. The aperture typically has a recess formed along its length into which the pin is moved to fix the hinged members* in relative position.
