The hinge knuckle is the circular part. Also called bead or loop. The knuckles of the two different clasps usually alternate around the pen.
1 of 10 PinThe pin connects the two (or more) hinge leafs.
2 of 10The pin diameter determines the thickness of the pin, measured in diameter.
3 of 10 LeafThe leaf or blade of the hinge is the rotating or fixed part of a hinge.
4 of 10The leaf width is the distance from the end of the leaf to the center of the pin.
5 of 10The leaf thickness is the thickness of the hinge.
6 of 10The hinge width is the total width of the open hinge: measured at right angles to the pin.
7 of 10The knuckle length is the length from one end to the other end of a single knuckle, parallel to the pin. Usually this is a fixed size, e.g. 30mm, 25mm, 20mm, etc.
8 of 10The end play is the light axial movement between the knots over the axis of the pen. This is caused by the small space between the nodes, which causes the leaf to hinge.
9 of 10The hinge length is the total length of the hinge measured over the leaf parallel to the pin.
