Content

In one embodiment, the hinge 156 can include a pin 158. The pin 158 can couple, or connect, to the pivot plate 148. The pin 158 can connect the support plate 150 and the pivot plate 148. In another embodiment, the hinge 156 may not connect to a support plate 150. The pin 158 has a longitudinal axis 160 that is a pivot axis 162 for the pivot plate 148. A force (e.g., a force in the direction of arrow 164 or arrow 166) applied to the pivot plate 148 can rotate the pivot plate 148 about the pin 158. As used herein, a "pivot axis" refers to an axis about which a structure pivots or rotates.
