Push hinge

[nelmo]

I want to fit a small screen in my car which I want on a hinge so that the screen is flat against a panel but when I push it, it pops out on one edge to 90deg and then closes by just pushing it back in.

Anyone know if there is some hinge type that can do this? I've searched online but I'm not seeing quite the right thing - lots of cupboard door hinges but a bit big and bulky.

How about some kind of friction hinge that stays where its put?

That will do nicely - many thanks

This is the other way you can do it

I think that only pushes out  few mm, designed for a cupboard door with no exterior handles, so you push, it pops out but then you pull it the rest of the way yourself on a normal hinge.

I did find a beautiful little alloy hinge specifically designed for LCD screens but it was on Alibaba (the Chinese site) and I could only buy a job lot of 5,000 . However, at that volume, they only cost 0.8p each, so 5,000 would only cost £40
