Abstract
A hinge mechanism for a cover of a container such as a golf bag comprises a spine, and at least one door panel. The spine has a slot which extends vertically from its lower edge. A pin extends transversely across the slot. A radially outwardly extending rib is formed on the container and fits into the slot in the spine. The rib has a channel therein to receive and trap the pin. The cover is movable about the pin from an upright closed position to an inverted open position in which the cover is adjacent the container and usable as a receptacle.
