Abstract:
1. A hinge useable in an electronic device which includes a base and a cover, with the cover pivotal with respect to the base through the hinge, comprising: a fixing frame; a rotating frame pivotally joined to the fixing frame; a joint rotated concurrently with the rotating frame relative to the fixing frame; a support including a first connecting portion for joining to the base and a second connecting portion; and a connecting member mounted between the rotating frame and the support and including a first distal end joined to the joint, and a second distal end joined to the second connecting portion, and the connecting member operably moved between a first position and a second position in response to two opposite pivoting directions of the rotating frame with respect to the fixing frame, with the support moving away from the rotating frame in response to the connection member moving from the second position to the first position thereof; and wherein the electronic device that employs the hinge is adapted to be gradually elevated from the support by the connecting member as the rotating frame is pivoted away from the fixing frame, with the base and a surface that bears the electronic device by supporting the support including a gradually increased gap therebetween as the cover is pivoted away from the base.
