A hinge includes a first connecting member, a shaft fixed to the first connecting member, a second connecting member rotatably mounted to the shaft, a positioning member, an elastic ring, and a fastener. The shaft includes a fixing end. The second connecting member includes a positioning post having a slant resisting surface. The positioning member is unrotatably mounted to the fixing end, and includes a positioning protrusion resisting against the positioning post. The positioning protrusion includes a withstanding surface corresponding to the resisting surface. The elastic ring is rotatably mounted to the shaft and abutted against the positioning member. The fastener is adjustably fixed to a distal end of the fixing end. During rotation of the second connecting member relative to the first connecting member to a predetermined degree, the resisting surface resists against the corresponding withstanding surface for driving the positioning member to deform the at elastic ring.
1 A hinge comprising,
The hinge of claim 1, wherein the shaft further comprises a resisting portion and a shaft body extending from the resisting portion, wherein the fixing end is located at a distal end of the shaft body away from the resisting portion, the second connecting member is rotatably mounted to the shaft body and resists against the resisting portion.
The hinge of claim 1, wherein the second connecting member comprises a connecting body and a first curly sleeve bent from a side of the connecting body, the positioning post axially extends from one end surface of the first sleeve.
The hinge of claim 1, wherein the positioning member defines a through hole for allowing the shaft to pass therethrough.
A collapsible device comprising:
