Abstract
A hinge system for joining side walls having a first engaged position and a second disengaged position includes a first side wall, a second side wall, a hinge mechanism for joining the first side wall and the second side wall in the first engaged position and a latching mechanism for preventing inadvertently collapse of the first and second side walls. The hinge mechanism has a plurality of barrel lugs having a plurality of barrels and a plurality of hook lugs having a plurality of pins projecting from the hook lugs. Each hook lug is adapted to be positioned between a first adjacent barrel lug and a second adjacent barrel lug so that each pin of each hook lug engages the first adjacent barrel lug. The latching mechanism includes a finger member held in engagement with one of the hook lugs to prevent the pin of each hook lug from disengaging the barrel of the first adjacent barrel lug.
