Abstract
A cover assembly for an aperture in a wall may include: a first support and a second support provided on the wall, each support including a monolithic receptacle; a first pin-portion and a second pin-portion rotatably mounted in the receptacles, respectively, to define respective pivot-hinge arrangements; and a cover coupled to the first and second pin-portions. For example, the wall may be a part of fluid (e.g., air) duct disposed in a vehicle, and the cover may be oriented with respect to the wall so that the aperture represents one of an inlet and an outlet.
