Abstract
This is a removable hinge mechanism particularly designed for use with steam table food containers for removably attaching a separate cover to the upper portion of the container, thus providing a support for holding the cover when the same is lifted from the container to provide access to the food confined therewithin. The hinge mechanism is attached to the container by a releasable clamping action between the inner and outer portions of the rolled edge or flange formed at the top of the container and to the cover by an open-ended loop to permit complete removeability from the container and the cover for cleaning.
