Abstract
A hinge having the characteristics of space-saving and ease of installation is disclosed to include a mounting base member affixed to a base member of a flip-up electronic product, female hinge shafts fixedly mounted in the mounting base member, a male hinge shaft rotatably inserted through the female hinge shafts and connectable to a cover member of the flip-up electronic product, and a lever pivotally mounted at the mounting base member and operable to move the male hinge shaft axially relative to the female hinge shafts between a mounting position where the male hinge shaft is fastened to the cover member of the flip-up electronic product and a dismounting position where the male hinge shaft is disconnected from the cover member.

A hinge, comprising:
- a mounting base member comprising a horizontal base wall and two upright walls vertically upwardly extended from a top surface of said horizontal base wall in a parallel relationship, a lever pivotally coupled between said two upright walls, at least one female hinge shaft fixedly mounted at the top surface of said horizontal base wall, and a male hinge shaft rotatably inserted through each said female hinge shaft, wherein:
- said male hinge shaft comprises a shaft body rotatably and axially movably inserted through each said female hinge shaft, a position-limit groove extending around the periphery of said shaft body and exposed outside said at least one female hinge shaft;
- said lever comprises a lever body and a pivot pin pivotally connecting said lever body to said upright walls, said lever body comprising an operating portion located at one side relative to said pivot pin and at least one actuation portion located at an opposite side relative to said pivot pin and engaged into said position-limit groove of said male hinge shaft and adapted for moving said male hinge shaft axially relative to said at least one female hinge shaft.
A hinge, comprising:
- a mounting base member comprising a horizontal base wall and two upright walls vertically upwardly extended from a top surface of said horizontal base wall in a parallel relationship, a lever pivotally coupled between said two upright walls, at least one female hinge shaft fixedly mounted at the top surface of said horizontal base wall, and a male hinge shaft rotatably inserted through each said female hinge shaft, wherein:
- said male hinge shaft comprises at least one cylindrical shaft body rotatably inserted through said at least one female hinge shaft, each said cylindrical shaft body having a non-circular coupling hole axially extending through two opposing ends thereof, and a transmission rod axially slidably inserted through the non-circular coupling hole of each said cylindrical shaft body, said transmission rod comprising a non-circular rod body inserted through the non-circular coupling hole of each said cylindrical shaft body for allowing each said cylindrical shaft body to be rotated with said transmission rod and a position-limit groove extending around the periphery of said non-circular rod body;
- said lever comprises a lever body and a pivot pin pivotally connecting said lever body to said upright walls of said mounting base member, said lever body comprising an operating portion located at one side relative to said pivot pin and at least one actuation portion located at an opposite side relative to said pivot pin and engaged into said position-limit groove of said transmission rod of said male hinge shaft and adapted for moving said male hinge shaft axially relative to said at least one female hinge shaft.
