  • Publication number: 20070174997
    Abstract: A suspension hinge that connects a liquid crystal display (LCD) to a roof of a vehicle has a central bracket, a first shaft assembly, a second shaft assembly and a third shaft assembly. The central bracket has a connecting wing, a first wing and a second wing. The first and second wings are oppositely formed perpendicularly on the connecting wing. The first and second shaft assemblies are respectively mounted pivotally on the first and second wings to allow the LCD to be opened and closed in relative to the roof. The third shaft assembly is mounted pivotally on the connecting wing to allow the LCD to rotate in relative to the roof. Then the viewing angle of the LCD can be adjusted easily.

  • Patent number: 6986188
    Abstract: A hinge includes a first leaf assembly with a first leaf and two barrels. A pintle has a cylindrical part extending through a first of the barrels and a non-cylindrical shaft extending through the second barrel. A second leaf is mounted on the pintle. A collar with a non-circular opening is provided outside the shaft. A resilient member is provided between the cylindrical part and the collar. Two channels are defined at a side of the collar facing the second barrel for alternately receiving at least one lug formed on the second barrel. Whereby, when the pintle is turned about the barrels, the first leaf can be positioned at multiple points about the second leaf.

  • Publication number: 20050155183
    Abstract: A hinge for a notebook computer includes a hinge member and a fastener assembly. The hinge member has a seat with a lateral portion and an upright portion. A hole is defined through the upright portion, and two recesses are defined at an exterior side of the upright portion. A pintle extends through the hole. A nut is threadingly mounted at a first end of the pintle. The fastener assembly has a positioning member provided outside the pintle and between the upright portion and the nut. The positioning member has an aperture corresponding to the pintle. Two protrusions are formed at a surface facing the upright portion and engaged in the recesses in a closed status of the notebook computer. A resilient member is provided outside the pintle and between the positioning member and the nut. Whereby, the hinge has a simplified structure and a low manufacturing cost.
