DEFINITION

Classification: 16/366

Having plural hinge axes (e.g., multiple pintle):

(under subclass 221) Hinge wherein the structure which swingably connects the two hinged members* defines two or more distinct axes about which the hinged members pivot relative to one another.

(1) Note. The pivotal movement may occur alternately about each axis or simultaneously about both axes.
