Abstract:
The present invention is a stacker hinge for use in the manufacture and stacking of parts in a stacker apparatus. The stacker hinge may comprise a housing and at least one flipper, wherein the at least one flipper attaches to the housing such that the at least one flipper hinges from a first position to a second position. The stacker hinge may possess a two-piece construction, a housing and a flipper, for the single stacker hinge and a three-piece construction, a housing and two flippers, for the dual stacker hinge. The flippers for the dual stacker hinge according to at least one embodiment of the present invention are substantially identical and interchangeable, such that only two different components, the housing and the flipper, need to be formed and manufactured for the single or the dual stacker hinge.
