[Shop-talk] Hinge description assistance required

[Steve Hammatt, Mount Vernon WA USA]

Thanks, but these won’t work, also I’d like the ability to 
remove the pin if desired.  What I’ve decided upon was 
some strap hinges, the position of the pin surround design 
allowed a flush fit within a 90 deg corner.  However, my 
supplier doesn’t stock any with removable pins, so I’m just 
planning to machine off one end and thus allow the pin to 
be removed when desired.  Thanks everybody for the suggestions.

Look into Soss hinges. They might do the trick.  

Peace,

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.........!!
