Abstract
A hinge includes a fixing member, a shaft non-rotatably fixed to the fixing member, a rotating member, an adjusting member, an elastic assembly, and a fastener. The shaft includes a shaft post, and the fastener fixed to a distal end of the shaft post. The rotating member and the elastic assembly are rotatably sleeved on the shaft post. The rotating member defines a depressed slot. The adjusting member is fixed to the shaft post, and abuts against the rotating member. The adjusting member defines a groove. When the rotating member is rotated relative to the fixing member, the depressed slot can be rotated to align with the groove, or away from the groove.
Claims8
A hinge comprising:
- a fixing member;
- a shaft non-rotatably fixed to the fixing member, the shaft comprising a shaft post;
- a rotating member rotatably sleeved on the shaft post, the rotating member defining at least one depressed slot;
- an adjusting member non-rotatably fitted about the shaft post, and abutted against the rotating member, the adjusting member defining at least one groove;
- an elastic assembly rotatably sleeved on the shaft post, to provide elasticity along an axis of the shaft post to tighten the adjusting member and the rotating member;
- and
- a fastener fixed to a distal end of the shaft post;
- wherein when the rotating member is rotated relative to the fixing member, the at least one depressed slot can be rotated to align with the at least one groove, or away from the at least one groove.
A hinge comprising:
- a shaft comprising a shaft post;
- a rotating member rotatably mounted on the shaft post, the rotating member defining at least one depressed slot;
- and
- an adjusting member non-rotatably mounted on the shaft post, and abutted against the rotating member, the adjusting member defining at least one depressed portion facing the rotating member;
- wherein when the adjusting member is rotated relative to the rotating member, the at least one depressed slot can be rotated to align with the at least one groove, or away from the at least one groove such that the friction between the adjusting member and the rotating member is adjusted.
