  • Patent number: 6532628
    Abstract: A hinge assembly including a horizontal shaft, and a monitor rotator having one part fixed to the shaft for rotating as one unit with the shaft, and the other part fixed to a rear part of the monitor. Supporting member rotators are rotatably coupled to opposite sides of the shaft, with a supporting member fixed to the supporting member rotators for supporting the monitor at a rear part thereof from the floor at an angle to the monitor. Elastic members are provided to the shaft such that one end thereof is held at the monitor rotator fixed to the monitor, and the other end thereof is held at the supporting member rotators fixed to the supporting member, for providing an appropriate torque between the monitor and the supporting member according to an angle between the monitor and the floor, thereby adjusting a tilting angle of the LCD monitor.
