Abstract
A hinge includes a bracket, a shaft rotatably received in the bracket, a engaging member, a pressing member, and a driving member. The bracket includes a casing portion defining a receiving space therein. The receiving space includes a circular part and a slot connecting the circular part. The engaging member is received in the slot of the bracket. The engaging member includes a slope surface and a screw hole. The pressing member is received in the slot of the bracket. The pressing member includes a pressing portion pressing firmly against the shaft, and a driven portion engaged with the slope surface of the engaging member. The driving member includes a screw pole capable of screwing in the screw hole of the engaging member to move the engaging member toward the pressing member, for driving the pressing member to press firmly against the shaft.
Claims18
A hinge, comprising:
- a bracket comprising a casing portion defining a circular hole having an axial direction, and a slot communicating with the circular hole and extending along the axial direction of the circular hole;
- a shaft rotatably received in the circular hole of the bracket;
- an engaging member received in the slot of the bracket, the engaging member comprising a slope surface facing the circular hole, and defining a screw hole in the slope surface;
- a pressing member received in the slot of the bracket between the engaging member and the shaft, the pressing member comprising a pressing portion firmly resisting against the shaft, and a driven portion engaged with the slope surface of the engaging member;
- and
- a driving member comprising a screw pole rotatably passing through the pressing member and screwed in the screw hole of the engaging member, to move the engaging member toward the pressing member, for driving the pressing member to further firmly resist against the shaft for adding friction between the bracket and the shaft.
A hinge, comprising:
- a bracket comprising a casing portion, wherein the casing portion defines a through hole having an axial direction, and a slot communicating with the through hole and extending along the axial direction of the through hole;
- a shaft rotatably received in the through hole of the bracket;
- a first member received in the slot of the bracket, wherein the first member comprises an inclined surface facing the through hole;
- a second member received in the slot of the bracket and between the shaft and the inclined surface of the first member, to support the shaft and resist against the inclined surface of the first member;
- and
- a driving member comprising a first end, and a second end passing through the second member to movably engage with the first member, wherein the second end of the driving member is movable in the first member to shorten a length of the driving member between the first end of the driving member and the first member, to drive the second member to slide on the inclined surface of the first member, thereby driving the second member to move toward the shaft to firmly resist the shaft against a sidewall bounding the through hole of the bracket.
