Lift out or lift up

I am trying to build a lift up between two table sections so that I won’t have to duck under. How do I build it and place the hinges so that the wood lefts up without catching. The space is 24 inches wide by 19 1/4 inches long. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I found this topic on this very subject very helpful.
