In electrical cubicle manufacture, a pintle hinge is a hinge with

The advantage of such action design is that the same bolt movements can be achieved with significantly reduced range of movement by the user's hand. The two earliest companies who have made the lateral toggle are Finn biathlon, as well as Izhmash. Finn was the
