Abstract
A hinge assembly includes a first hinge member having an arcuate guide slot extending around a first opening and an overall thickness equal to or greater than a radial width of the arcuate guide slot, and a second hinge member having first and second clevis portions with a second opening formed through each of the clevis portions. Fastening member holes are defined in one or both clevis portions and arrayed in a first arcuate array around one or both of the second openings with a radius corresponding to the arcuate guide slot radius. The first hinge member is inserted between the clevis portions with the first and second openings aligned with each other. Fastening members extend into or through the fastening member holes and are slidably received in the arcuate guide slot so as to enable relative rotation between the hinge members about an axis passing through the first and second openings.
