ABSTRACT:
A hinge assembly includes a body drive member (10) having an outer screw thread (12) on an outer periphery thereof, a cover drive member (20) having a first end surface (28) formed one end thereof, a follower (30) having a second end surface (34) formed on one end thereof, and an elastic element (40) abutting the follower. The cover drive member has an inner screw thread (26) formed in a cavity (22) of the cover drive member. The follower has a central hole (32). The body drive member extends through the cover drive member, the follower and the elastic element, thereby integrating the hinge assembly into a complete unit. The outer screw thread of the body drive member engages with the inner screw thread of the cover drive member, and the first end surface of the cover drive member engaging with the second end surface of the body drive member.
