Paragraph Number

74

A hinge can include a pin, one or more knuckles (also referred to as loops, joints, nodes, curls, etc.), and one or more leaves. As used herein, a "pin" refers to a cylindrical structure having a cross-sectional diameter small enough to fit within openings of one or more knuckles of a hinge. In certain embodiments, the pin can include a head on one end, the head can be larger than a diameter of the openings of the one or more knuckles such that the head prevents the pin from passing completely through the openings of the one or more knuckles. A pin can be made from a variety of material including metal, plastic, wood, or the like. A leaf is a structure that extends laterally from the one or more knuckles and can be integrated with or connected to a structure that is intended to pivot or rotate about the pin. In certain embodiments, a hinge can include two or more leaves. A leaf can be a planar structure.
