Abstract
A split barrel structure of a hinge includes a first partial barrel and an adjoining first complementary curved part extended from a first leaf portion in a first circular direction, and a second partial barrel and an adjoining second complementary curved part extended from a second leaf portion in a second circular direction. When the first leaf portion is aligned with the second leaf portion face to face, the first partial barrel and the first complementary curved part mate with the second complementary curved part and the second partial barrel, respectively, to form a split barrel for clamping a shaft of a pintle of the hinge therein. The aligned first and second leaf portions are then bound together using binding elements. Alternatively, the first and the second leaf portion are integrally connected at an edge via a bending section.
