This is a tribute to my father's patented hinge, he invented in the 60s (https://patents.google.com/patent/US3209390).
It's only a model showing the joint mechanics and cannot be used in an actual application due to the poor mechanical properties of FDM plastics, the real hinge is made of brass or steel (https://youtu.be/oyA7kVHcAwM).
While its main feature is of being completely hidden when closed, in the 70s it has been used also in the iconic Micchel Prisma turntable transparent case (http://www.michell-engineering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/michell_prisma_2.jpg).
