Patent ID: 7559117

Claim:
A dual-axis hinge comprising a body having a surface; two ends; and a transverse hole being defined through the surface and having a cylindrical lip being formed on and protruding out from the surface of the body around the transverse hole and having a distal edge; and multiple protrusions being formed on and protruding from the distal edge of the cylindrical lip of the transverse hole; a pintle being mounted securely in and protruding out of the transverse hole in the body and having an inner end being attached to the body; and an upper end having a flange being formed on and protruding radially out from the upper end; a mounting leaf being mounted rotatably around the pintle and comprising a top; a bottom; and a tubular base being formed on and extending down from the bottom of the mounting leaf, being mounted rotatably around the pintle, corresponding to the cylindrical lip around the transverse hole in the body and having a bottom edge; and multiple detents being defined in the bottom edge of the tubular base and corresponding to and selectively engaging the protrusions on the distal edge of the cylindrical lip of the transverse hole on the body; a resilient element being mounted around the pintle between the flange and the top of the mounting leaf and pushing the tubular base of the mounting leaf against the distal edge of the cylindrical lip of the transverse hole on the body; and a mounting bracket having a rotating element being coaxially mounted securely in one end of the body; and a stationary element being attached rotatably to the rotating element.
