Summary:A hinge includes a first member with a footing, an extension arm and a rod. The extension arm is connected to the footing and projects away therefrom. The rod is connected to the extension arm such that a center axis of the rod is disposed parallel to the footing. The hinge further includes a second member with a first end wall, a second end wall and a cradle wall. The first end wall is connected and spaced apart from the second end wall by the cradle wall to define a rounded receptacle configured to receive the rod. The second member includes a sleeve adjacent to the second end wall that covers a portion of the receptacle to define a cup wherein a portion of the rod is positioned inside the cup to permit rotation of the first member about the center axis and to limit radial movement.
