1. A hinge comprising:
- a tilting assembly comprisinga central frame havinga first wall;
a second wall being opposite to the first wall and having an inside surface;
a first end;
a second end being opposite to the first end and being adjacent to the first and second walls; and
a mounting hole being formed longitudinally through the first and second walls of the central frame;
a first tilting shaft being formed on and protruding transversely from the first end of the central frame; and
a second tilting shaft being formed on and protruding transversely from the second end of the central frame;
a rotating assembly being connected to the tilting assembly and comprisinga rotating shaft being mounted slidably through the mounting hole of the central frame and havinga body;
an enlarged head being formed around the body;
an abutting end protruding out from the second wall of the central frame; and
a mounting end protruding out from the first wall of the central frame;
a resilient element being mounted around the rotating shaft and abutting the second wall of the central frame; and
a fastening ring being mounted securely around the rotating shaft; and
a bracket assembly being connected to the tilting assembly and the rotating assembly and comprisinga first tilting bracket being mounted rotatably around the first tilting shaft and havingan edge; and
an extending wing being formed on and protruding out from the edge of the first tilting bracket, corresponding to the central frame and having an arced surface facing the rotating shaft and selectively abutting the abutting end of the rotating shaft; and
a second tilting bracket being mounted rotatably around the second tilting shaft.

Abstract
A hinge is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic device. A lid covers the hinge and is attached securely to the base. The hinge has an arced surface and a rotating shaft. When the cover is pivoted to a certain angle, the rotating shaft abuts the arced surface to lift up the cover so the cover is selectively distant away from the lid. Therefore, the shape of the electronic device does not need to be disfigured and the cover still does not bump against the lid.
