Abstract
A hinge assembly (-) for a frame assembly () of for example, a hospital bed, has a smooth outer form which substantially conforms to the outer size of frame assembly struts to which it couples. The hinge assembly (-) has its components located internally and provides at least one reliable electrically conductive path therethrough so as to provide an electrical connection between frame struts (-) coupled together by the hinge (-), avoiding the need for electrical wires. There are provided angle markers on the hinge to indicate the degree of rotation of the hinge halves ().
