Sag preventing hinge and its assembly
First Claim
1. A hinge comprising:
- two turning modules being disposed facing each other, and each turning module havinga stationary bracket;
a pintle mounted pivotally in the stationary bracket; and
a retaining spacer being mounted securely on the pintle;
a central bracket being connected between the turning modules and havinga couple being mounted securely between the pintles of the turning modules and having a center and two ends; and
a central shaft being formed on and protruding from the center of the couple and having a distal surface;
a tilting module being connected to the central bracket and havinga central sleeve being mounted around the central shaft of the central bracket and having an outside wall;
two connecting bars being formed transversely on and protruding diametrically from the outside wall of the central sleeve and each connecting bar having a distal end; and
a fastening washer being mounted securely on the distal surface of the central shaft; and
two supporting modules being mounted on the ends of the couple of the central bracket and the distal ends of the connecting bars of the tilting module, and each supporting module comprisinga stationary leaf being mounted securely on a corresponding end of the couple and havinga proximal end; and
a holding wing being formed perpendicularly on the proximal end of the stationary leaf and having an arced outer surface; and
a turning leaf being mounted securely on the distal end of a corresponding connecting bar and havinga proximal end; and
a holding wing being formed perpendicularly on the proximal end of the turning leaf and having an arced inner surface corresponding to and selectively abutting the arced outer surface of the stationary leaf.

Abstract
A hinge is mounted between a panel and a main frame of a horizontal monitor and has two turning modules, a central bracket, a tilting module and two supporting modules. The turning modules are mounted on the main frame. The central bracket is mounted pivotally between the turning modules. The tilting module is movably mounted to the central bracket. Each supporting module has holding wings abutting each other and connected respectively between the central bracket and the ends of the tilting module. Connection between the central bracket and the tilting module and abutments between the holding wings of the supporting modules form a triple connection between the panel and the main frame so prevent the hinge from sagging.
