Hinge
First Claim
1. A hinge, comprising:
- a fixing frame including a compartment extending along a first axis, and an orifice extending along a second axis, with the compartment communicating with the orifice, with the first axis transverse to the second axis;
a cam insertably mounted to the fixing frame through the orifice and being pivotal about the second axis, the cam including a cam member of a non-circular cross section and disposed in the compartment;
a rotating frame joined to the cam and rotated with the cam concurrently; and
a torque assembly disposed in the compartment and moveably urged relative to the fixing frame by the cam along the first axis, the torque assembly including an end abutted against the cam member and another end supported by the fixing frame; and
wherein the torque assembly imposes torque that is variable during the pivoting of the rotating frame with respect to the fixing frame.

Abstract
A hinge includes a fixing frame, a cam, a rotating frame, and a torque assembly. The fixing frame includes a compartment and an orifice. The cam is insertably mounted to the fixing frame through the orifice. Furthermore, the cam includes a cam member disposed in the compartment. The rotating frame is joined to the cam and rotated with the cam concurrently. The torque assembly is disposed in the compartment and is moveably urged relative to the fixing frame by the cam. Furthermore, the torque assembly includes an end abutted against the cam member and another end supported by the fixing frame. Moreover, the torque assembly imposes torque that is variable during the pivoting of the rotating frame with respect to the fixing frame.
