Hinges Around Town - Strange Slip

No matter where you are, you should always keep a look out for hinges!  Sometimes they're in a hidden spot, but sometimes, like this cover on a iced beverages cart, you'll find some right out in the open.  For some reason, this designer wanted the hinge to mount on the top surface and the inside surface as I could see from the extra wide hinge bent leaves.  Maybe he could have saved a little money by just using a standard slip joint on the side surfaces, but this arrangement seemed to pull the lid slightly off to the side which led me to believe maybe they didn't want someone catching themselves or anything else on it? One thing's for sure,  Guden can create a custom slip joint hinge like this, or to your specifications easily!  Hinge Customizations | Glossary | Guden Custom Hinges
