HINGED Meaning and Definition

  1. Hinged is an adjective that describes an object or structure that has a hinge or a jointed mechanism allowing it to swing or pivot on a fixed point. The term is commonly used to depict a specific type of connection that enables movement or rotation between two or more parts of an object. These parts are usually linked by a hinge, which acts as a pivotal point for their motion.

    The hinged mechanism typically consists of two plates or wings that are connected by a pin or rod, allowing the object to open, close, or fold. This connection enables smooth and controlled movement, giving the object flexibility and adjustability. Hinged objects are often found in various everyday items such as doors, gates, cabinets, windows, lids, and boxes.

Hinges come in a range of styles and materials to suit different purposes, including butt hinges, piano hinges, strap hinges, concealed hinges, and more.
