Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4794734
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A hinge adapted to pivotably connect a hinged member to a device housing is provided. The hinge is adapted to maintain the hinged member in one of an open position and a closed position relative to the device housing. The hinge includes a first hinge part having an axis and a cam follower. The first hinge part is adapted to be connected to one of the hinged member and the device housing. A second hinge part is provided which is aligned with and rotatable about the axis of the first hinge part. The second hinge part has a cam surface. The cam follower on the first hinge part contacts the cam surface. The cam surface has a first position and a second position. The second hinge part is adapted to be connected to the other of the hinged member and the device housing. A spring is provided which urges the cam follower against the cam surface with a spring force. The first and second hinge parts each have an axial bore defined therethrough. An axial load bearing connector extends through the axial bores to connect first and second hinge parts such that forces generated by the spring are reacted in the axial load bearing connector. The hinge is adapted to hold the hinged member in an open position relative to the device housing when the cam follower is in the first position.
