ABSTRACT:
A new hinge design is used to connect a base unit and its display panel of a notebook computer. The new hinge design consists of a hinge bracket and a hinge shaft. The hinge bracket consists of a horizontal band, a vertical band, a barrel part and a bent band. The horizontal band and the vertical band are both mounted inside the base unit via holes thereon. The bent band bends from the vertical to the desired direction so as to shift a position of the hinge shaft. Owing to the position shift of the hinge shaft, the center of gravity of a notebook computer will also shift. The hinge shaft includes an attachment plate for mounting on the display panel.
