Abstract

A hinge for a foldable rail section for mounting a container of an oxygen supply unit in an aircraft, with a first hinge part on the rail section and a second hinge part on the edge of the container, and with a container door, which extends in parallel to the longitudinal side of the rail section and is pivotable around a joint on the rear edge of the container. The connection of the hinge to the container is simplified, and a stop is provided for the container door. The first hinge part is formed as of a bead (11), which is made in one piece with sections of the longitudinal side of the rail section (9), wherein slots (12) are present in the sections of the bead (11) not made in one piece with the rail section, and the second hinge part is formed as tongues (13) made in one piece with the rear container edge (4) corresponding to the outer shape of the bead (11), and the said tongues extend into the slots (12), and the tongues (13) are raised at the tongue end (15) such that the tongue ends (15) form a stop limiting the pivoting stroke of the container door.
