Abstract

The butt of an aluminum 270.degree. hinge is inserted and welded into a slot in an elongated aluminum rib forming the rear corner extremities of the cargo container of a highway semi-trailer. A tapered plug extending from the base of the butt is welded into an elongated slot in the rib from the side of the rib remote from the hinge. The hinge pin is disposed closely adjacent to the outer end of the rib. A concave indentation in the base of the butt receives a convex portion of the hinge strap.
