rmr Report post Posted March 21, 2011 Im making a case that has a top that has a retangular section of brass that maintaines the form of the lid- but will allow each half of the lid to open straight up- I call it a spring lid hardware. I have attached a photo of the lid- unfortunately I dont have a picture of the actual hardware. Does anyone know what the actual name of this harware is - and even better- where to purchase it Thanks Bob R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGGUNDOCTOR Report post Posted March 21, 2011 I believe what you are looking for is a torsion spring. They are made to spring sideways not lengthwise. A flat spring would work too if it is not bent too sharply at the corner. A company like Mc Master Carr might have something that would work for you, or you can even make them yourself if need be.
