Toggle hinge allows deployable structures erected without end play encountered in conventional hinged structural members. New hinge ensures rigidity in portable bridges, masts, towers, platforms, and other deployable (and retractable) structures. Positioned halfway along length of folding strut, hinge allows halves of strut to pivot 180 degrees about center.
