Abstract
The swivel hinge includes a swivel element with apertures and a base element with a swivel shaft which is journaled for rotation within the apertures. The apertures include radially inwardly extending fingers which position the swivel shaft and are formed as molding gates for molding windows which are provided in common for initially molding the base element and the swivel member as a single integral piece. Subsequent rotation breaks the molding gates and the vestiges form the fingers.
