Abstract:
A support for an LCD monitor is composed of two seats, a pivoting member, a positioning member, and a leg. The seats are mounted on a back of the LCD monitor. The pivoting member is pivotally mounted between the seats. The positioning member is mounted on one of the seats. The leg is secured on the pivoting member. The leg can be pivoted to extend for supporting the LCD monitor or fold up for packing and storing.
Abstract:
A pivot hinge has a stem, a bracket and washers provided on opposite sides of the bracket. Each washer is a disk and composed of multiple first sectorial areas and multiple sectorial areas parallel to the first sectorial areas. Each of the first sectorial areas is intermittently connected to one another and a second sectorial area is formed between two adjacent first sectorial areas.
Abstract:
A computer hinge has a sleeve and a shaft. The sleeve has a tubular portion with an inner surface, an outer surface, a slit peripherally defined through the tubular portion, grooves and a receiving recess defined in the inner surface of the tubular portion. The shaft has a journal with an outer surface integrally formed with the second connection plate and has at least one meander-line recess defined in the outer surface of the journal and a flange formed on the outer surface of the journal to correspond to the receiving recess in the tubular portion.
Abstract:
A hinge mechanism includes a pivot axle including a first cylindrical portion and a second cylindrical portion having a diameter smaller than that of the first cylindrical portion, an inner sleeve rotatably mounted on the second cylindrical portion of the pivot axle and including an inner wall containing a first hole for receiving the second cylindrical portion and an outer wall formed with a plurality of juxtaposed locking pieces, a first outer sleeve fixedly mounted on the inner sleeve and including an inner wall containing a second hole 31 for receiving the inner sleeve and an outer wall formed with a retaining block containing a retaining recess connecting to the second hole for receiving the plurality of juxtaposed locking pieces, and a second outer sleeve fixedly mounted on the first cylindrical portion of the pivot axle.
Abstract:
A hinge for a portable computer having a monitor with a pivotal end and a main frame with a pivotal end has a sleeve, a washer and a pivotal rod. The sleeve is mounted in the pivotal end of the main frame and has multiple cutouts. The cutouts are formed in the sleeve. The washer has two extensions. The extensions are formed on the washer and selectively engage the cutouts of the sleeve. The pivotal rod is mounted rotatably in the sleeve, is mounted securely in the washer and holds the washer between the pivotal rod and the sleeve. When the monitor pivots to open relative to the main frame of the portable computer, the extensions of the washer engage the cutouts of the sleeve to hold the monitor at a desired visual angle.
Abstract:
A pivot device has a pivot axle fastened on a cover of a lap top computer, a seat fastened on a chassis of the computer, and a first ring and a second ring respectively mounted around the pivot axle. The second ring and an elastic device are respectively mounted on the seat, and the second ring has two cutouts. Two lugs are respectively defined on the first ring and correspond to the cutouts. A nub is formed on an outer circumference of the first ring so that the nub presses against the elastic device. Hence, the cutouts are mated with the lugs by pushing so that the cover can be raised or lowered to the chassis and can be controlled to prevent colliding with the chassis.
Abstract:
A hinge includes a shank, a rotation bracket adapted to securely connect to a display of a laptop computer, a fixed bracket adapted to securely connect to a base of the laptop computer and at least one friction bracket securely connected to the fixed bracket and having friction pads provided on opposite sides of the at least one friction bracket. Each of the friction pads has an aperture so defined that after the threaded portion of the shank extends through the apertures of the friction pads, the friction pads pivot together with the shank to generate holding force with the fixed bracket for holding the display in position.

Abstract:
A hinge for a notebook includes an L-shaped seat with a barrel. A pintle has a shaft extending in the barrel of the seat. A first tube, a sleeve and a second tube are in turn mounted on the shaft. The first tube and second tube are securely received in the barrel and each has a stop formed at a respective end facing the sleeve. The sleeve has two arcuate segments respectively formed at two ends and corresponding to the stops of the tubes. Thus, the sleeve can be rotated along with the shaft about the first and second tubes until one arcuate segment of the sleeve abuts the corresponding stop. Whereby, a user can raise the display with a small force to separate the display from the body and a large force to completely raise and position the display.
Abstract:
A dual-directional hinge for a portable device with a body and a monitor such as a mobile phone, a notebook computer or a PDA is disclosed. The hinge is composed of a first supporting member, a second supporting member, a seat, a vertical pin and a horizontal pintle. The first supporting member is mounted on the monitor and is rotatably mounted on the second supporting member by the vertical pin. The second supporting member and the seat are mounted rotatably on the body by the horizontal pintle. Thus, the monitor can be turned about the horizontal pintle to be raised from the body, and can be turned left or right about the vertical pin to change the horizontal viewing angle.
