Swivel hinge with angular fixing structure
First Claim
1. A swivel hinge apparatus with angular fixing function employed to connect a mainframe and a display means of a notebook computer, said swivel hinge apparatus comprising:
- a fixture part, fastened to said mainframe, said fixture part having a through part in a center thereof;
a fixture friction ring, fixed to said fixture part and having at least one convex member;
a rotation part fixed to said display means, wherein said rotation part connects to said fixture part, and said fixture friction ring is disposed between said fixture part and said rotation part;
a rotation friction ring, fixed to said rotation part, having at least one concave portion, wherein said rotation friction ring is disposed between said fixture friction ring and said rotation part, and said rotation friction ring contacts said fixture friction ring; and
at least one elastic ring, disposed between said rotation part and said fixture part, wherein a combination of said rotation part and said fixture part provides one degree of rotation function and said swivel hinge apparatus provides an angular fixing function when said convex member fits into said concave portion.

Abstract
A swivel hinge with angular fixing structure is employed to connect a mainframe and a display means of a notebook computer. The swivel hinge has a fixture part, a fixture friction ring, a rotation part, a rotation friction ring, and an elastic ring. The fixture part mounted on the mainframe has a through hole in the center thereof. The fixture friction ring mounted on the fixture part has at least one holder on the surface. The rotation friction ring mounted on the rotation part has at least one slot in the surface thereof. The elastic ring is located between the fixture part and the fixture friction ring. If the slot and the holder on the friction ring fit into each other, the desired angular fixing function is provided.
