Floating hinge
A floating hinge is a hinge that, while can behave as a normal hinge, can also be used to hold two pieces a constant distance from one another; this distance can, in many floating hinges, be adjusted.
They are commonly used in grills as they allow for even heating of both sides of a foodstuff without crushing.
