[Shop-talk] Hinge description assistance required

I’m trying to correctly describe a type of hinge, but 
I’m not familiar with the nomenclature.
I’m wanting to place to thick door panels at 90 deg 
to each other, but in the form of a “T”, not an “L”.
When assembled, one side can “fold” or “close” 
down so that the two panels are parallel to each 
other, but when open, they would be locked in 
a “T” formation because the movable panel cannot 
extend beyond 90 deg due to the interference of the 
movable panel’s edge against non-moving panel.

Hope this makes sense.  The problems are:

The fingers (that encircle the hinge pin) must be 
flat against the panel on both sides

The minge pin must be removable.

In essence I’m using two hinges to connect to panels 
then fold the panels together, move the panel assembly 
into a small room, open and essentially make a 90 deg 
screen within a small area.  Possible disassembly may be 
required in the future.

How best to describe this type of box hinge?

Super thanks, BTW this all applies to some improvements 
I’m making in my shop.........!!
