Hinge type name help

For a garden decking project im looking for some hinges that ive seen before on wooden loft ladders. Like these:

http://loftsandladders.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/500x500/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/r/e/replacement_midmade_hinges_.jpg

The only sites I can find them on only refer to them as loft ladder hinges and want lots of money.
Do these have another name I can search for before in investigate other types and dispense with my hope to keep them concealed. All my search ideas have been fruitless.

Thanks!

Closest thing I can think to look for would be a trestle joint hinge.

Or pivot hinge.

Might be worth a Google.

Note your point on difficulty finding them at a good price.

Could you not design around a more common field or garden gate hinge? Cheap and readily available from Screwfix or other DIY stores.

Cheers, they are the best i had found also. Sadly that seems to be there name for them as butterfly is used to describe decorative hinges shaped vaguely like butterflies, and thats all that comes up searching for similar.
I also need several so whilst they are not a bad price i was hoping to find even cheaper!
