Abstract

Technology is disclosed herein for a payload dispensing hinge assembly. The payload dispensing hinge assembly has a first hinge-half and a second hinge-half that are joined by a hinge pin. The first hinge-half may be connected to a payload that is to be dispensed at a target angle. The second hinge-half may be connected to a payload base. The first hinge-half may have a first mounting bracket and a rotatable arm that are shaped to form interlocks that serve to dis-engageably link these two components. A biasing mechanism rotates the rotatable arm and hence the first mounting bracket and payload about a hinge line. The second hinge-half has a hinge stop that stops the rotation of the rotatable arm at a target angle, whereby the first bracket dis-engages from the rotatable arm to dispense the payload at the target angle.
