The invention relates to a hinge for connecting any two separate apparatuses that rotates around a common axis. Advantages of the proposed hinge comprise simple combination process, secured structure and no assistant tool is required. The proposed hinge comprises a first pair of structures, a second pair of structures and a torsional spring, where first pair of structures is fixed in one apparatus and second pair of structures is fixed in another apparatus. Moreover, the torsional spring connects both apparatuses. The combination process of the proposed hinge is that two separate apparatuses are initially connected by the torsional spring when the torsional spring is not compressed or elongated, then these apparatuses are rotated around the common axis until first pair of structures is directly coupled with second pair of structures. Where coupling interaction is provided by a hook of first pair of structures hooking on edge of a concave portion of second pair of structures when first pair of structures is pushed by a bulge of second pair of structures. Obviously, the combination process is simple and no assistant tool is required. Beside, owing to the fact that the torsional spring is compressed when the hinged is opened, it is obvious that first pair of structures is securely coupled with second pair of structures by opposite direction elastic force of compressed torsional spring.
