Claim 12:
13. A method of operating a friction hinge comprising a stub substrate rotatably coupled to a finger substrate, the method comprising:
positioning the stub substrate at a first angular orientation relative to the finger substrate, wherein the stub substrate comprises a first stub and an adjacent second stub extending from a stub substrate, and the finger substrate comprises a first finger extending from the finger substrate between the first stub and the second stub, the first finger comprising a distal contacting face that is biased into contact with a first biasing face of the first stub, and the finger substrate comprising a second finger adjacent to and axially spaced from the first finger and extending from the finger substrate between the first stub and the second stub, the second finger comprising a distal contacting face that is biased into contact with a second biasing face of the second stub, wherein a pin extends through a stub aperture in the first stub, a finger aperture in the first finger, a finger aperture in the second finger, and a stub aperture in the second stub; and
repositioning the stub substrate to a second angular orientation relative to the finger substrate, wherein frictional contact between at least the distal contacting face of the first finger and the first biasing face of the first stub and between the distal contacting face of the second finger and the second biasing face of the second stub causes the stub substrate to maintain the second angular orientation relative to the finger substrate.
