ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a hinge for a notebook computer, and more particularly to a hinge by which a monitor of the notebook computer can be turned about a vertical axis and a horizontal axis.
2. Description of Related Art
In conventional notebook computers, monitors generally can be only pivoted about a horizontal axis to raise from bodies. Few notebook computers have monitors which can be turned about a vertical axis to adjust a visible scope. However, in all of these computers, the monitors can be only adjusted in a maximum scope of 60. Furthermore, most rotating devices of these computers are made up of zinc alloy, which is easy to be worn down after a long term of using.
Therefore, the invention provides a hinge for a notebook computer to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the invention is to provide a hinge for a notebook computer by which a monitor of the computer can be turned about a vertical axis in a maximum scope of 180.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a hinge for a notebook computer that has anti-friction structures provided therein.
