Patent ID: 7913360

Claim:
A hinge, comprising: a shaft comprising a post and a blocking portion; a bracket defining a pivoting hole for the post of the shaft rotatably extending therethrough, a protruding portion extending from one side of the bracket, a slope surface formed from one end of the protruding portion; a positioning member mounted on the shaft, a positioning portion formed on one side of the positioning member facing to the protruding portion of the bracket, an inclined stopping surface formed from one end of the positioning portion; and a resilient member defining a through hole for fitting about the shaft, located between the blocking portion and the positioning member; wherein when the shaft rotates with respect to the bracket beyond limits of a desired angle, the slope surface of the protruding portion drives the inclined stopping surface of the positioning member to move the positioning member away from the bracket to compress the resilient member for obviating damages to the hinge; wherein a setting portion is formed on the shaft between the blocking portion and the post, a stopping surface is formed on the setting portion facing the post, the bracket engages with the stopping surface, the resilient member and the positioning member are located between the blocking portion and the bracket.
