ABSTRACT:
A hinge assembly (10) includes a shaft (12) and a follower (16), wherein one of the shaft and the follower defines a thread (122), the other of the shaft and the follower includes at least one resisting portion (166). The thread is separately formed from one of the shaft and the follower with the thread and the shaft and the follower slide and rotate relative to each other. Since the thread is separately formed therewith, the thread may be formed by injection mold. This manufacture method is easy. In addition, the thread may be made of wear resistant material. The thread is not easy to be abraded, thereby the work being stable.
