ABSTRACT:
A hinge device for coupling two rotatable members includes a stud and a shaft extended from one rotatable member and a barrel secured on the other rotatable member. The stud has a coarse wedge shaped projection. The barrel includes a coarse frustum shaped inner peripheral surface for engaging with a coarse frustum shaped outer peripheral surface of an actuator. The actuator includes a notch having a coarse tapered surface for engaging with the coarse projection. A spring may bias the coarse surfaces to engage with each other for allowing the rotatable members to be maintained in any suitable relative angular position.
