Abstract

A foldable hinge includes a base and two folding assemblies on both sides of the base and coupled to the base. The two folding assemblies are foldable relative to each other. Each folding assembly includes a rotating arm and a support member; a first end of the rotating arm is rotatably coupled to the base; the support member is rotatably coupled to a second end of the rotating arm away from the base; a side of the support member close to the base is rotatably coupled to the base and the support member is slidable in a direction approaching or away from the base. A distance between portions of two support members coupled to the rotating arms is smaller than a distance between portions of the two support members coupled to the base in response to bringing the two folding assemblies together.
