Hinge question

[Salty]

I am trying to get this to work...at least I think it will work.
The idea is to have a caster that will flip out of the way when not needed.
I am having trouble locating a hinge that will have the plates flat when folded and the hinge measurements need to be as shown.
Anyone have any ideas where to get a hinge like this or what it is called?
I checked wwhardware and McMaster Carr. Could not find one. I think maybe it is named something particular but I don't know what.
Thanks all.

Try this site, and see if something will work.

Here is a Stanley one
1-1/2" Zinc Plated(2C) Back Flap Hinge - Non-Removable Pin

Thanks Mr Bill. I think that one will work. I'll see if the local hardware has it or can order it for me. I'll just have to re-drill the holes for 2 of the bolts. I guess I'll also need some real short bolts.
Good find.

Have you ever seen the work table that Norm built on NYW? His idea for making the table portable might work better for you. I would attempt to describe it, but I never would be able to. Best just to check it out for yourself, but it does work simply.

My workbench uses Norm's method. It works fine. Wheels mount to a board that runs side to side and is hinged (door hinges) to the legs. It gets held in place by blocks mounted to the other side of the L shaped legs that are also hinged. With the blocks down, the piece with the wheels is locked down. Witht the blocks tilted up, the piece with the wheels folds up and the table rests on its legs. A little piece of rope helps you pull both blocks at once. Lifting the end of the table lets them fall back down.

Yea, I'm aware of that method. Used something similar before getting the her-u-lift.
But this situation is different, there are no legs and the wheels need to be completely hidden when not in use.
I think I have it figured out. Just need to get more parts and do a mock-up.
Thanks guys.

I'm a little concerned about your design. It looks like the hinge pin will be bearing most of the load. If it is, you hinge will most likely stop pivoting after a short time.
