cranked hinge?

That was my first thought, but unless I'm missing the obvious, a cranked
hinge is only cranked on one side.

I've looked through a million web pages and online catalogues.Â* I know
I've seen what I want, which makes it even more frustrating.Â* The
alternative is to mount ordinary hinges on blocks of wood, to lift them
above the flap surface.Â* I have done that before, and it worked, but is
a bit ugly.


When you hang a door with a 'proud pivot' hinge to allow the doors to
fold all the way back clearing architraves the arcane name for the
hardware is Parliament Hinge. obv they are set into the edges not into
the flat surface.
