  • Patent number: 7603748
    Abstract: A hinge with simplified components has a central bracket, a first tilt hinge assembly, a second tilt hinge assembly and a rotating hinge assembly. The central bracket has a main arm, a first arm and a second arm. An outer surface of the first arm has multiple positioning detents formed in the outer surface. The first and second tilt hinge assemblies respectively connect to the first and second arms. The first tilt hinge assembly has a resilient stationary positioning spacer mounted adjacent to the outer surface and corresponding positioning protrusion. With the resilient stationary positioning spacer, the single spacer replaces a positioning spacer and a resilient spacer. Therefore, the components of the hinge are simplified and then the manufacturing cost and the assembling complexity are decreased.

  • Patent number: 7587789
    Abstract: A hinge with simplified components has a central bracket, a first tilt hinge assembly, a second tilt hinge assembly and a rotating hinge assembly. The central bracket has a main arm, a first arm and a second arm. The rotating hinge assembly has a stationary limiting spacer and a rotating limiting spacer corresponding to each other. With the rotating limiting spacer has is thicker than the stationary limiting spacer, the rotating limiting spacer replaces many spacers. Therefore, the components of the hinge are simplified and then the manufacturing cost and the assembling complexity are decreased.

  • Patent number: 7555817
    Abstract: A hinge with less abrasion has a central bracket, a first tilt hinge assembly, a second tilt hinge assembly and a rotating hinge assembly. The central bracket has a main arm, a first arm and a second arm. The main arm has annular recess formed on an inner surface of the main arm. The first arm has annular recess respectively formed on an inner surface and an outer surface of the first arm. The first and second tilt hinge assemblies connect respectively to the first and second arms. The rotating hinge assembly connects to the main arm. Because strength of a material is enhanced when the material is pressed, the annular recesses of the main and first arms enhance the strength of the main and first arms to reduce the abrasion between the central bracket and the hinge assemblies.

  • Publication number: 20080189910
    Abstract: A hinge with a metal injection-molding board is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic appliance and has a central bracket and a rotating pivoting assembly. The metal injection-molding board is attached securely on an outside surface of the central bracket and extends out of an inside surface of the central bracket. The rotating pivoting assembly connects rotatably to the metal injection-molding board. When the cover pivots relative to the base along longitudinal axis, the rotating pivoting assembly rotates relative to and rubs against the metal injection-molding board so the central bracket is not worn. Because a board made of metal injection molding is strengthened, the metal injection-molding board can bear the abrasion. Therefore, the lifespan of the hinge is effectively lengthened.

  • Publication number: 20080109991
    Abstract: A hinge with simplified components has a central bracket, a first tilt hinge assembly, a second tilt hinge assembly and a rotating hinge assembly. The central bracket has a main arm, a first arm and a second arm. The first and second arms are formed respectively on two ends of the main arm. The first and second tilt hinge assemblies respectively connect to the first and second arms. The rotating hinge assembly connects to the main arm. The second tilt hinge assembly has a barrel with multiple steps formed on an outer wall of the barrel. The diameters of each step are smaller from an inner end to an outer end of the barrel. The steps formed on the outer wall of the barrel replace many spacers. Therefore, the components of the hinge are simplified and then the manufacturing cost and the assembling complexity are decreased.
