Abstract

A pivoting mechanism for a spring hinge includes a pin and at least one cap assembly. The pin defines an axial direction and is configured to be disposed through a barrel portion of the spring hinge. The at least one cap assembly is disposed on an end of the pin and includes a cap body, a restricting member and an engaging member. The cap body includes a first abutting wall lateral to the axial direction, a first circumferential wall extending around the axial direction and connected with the first abutting wall and a groove recessed on an inner surface of the first circumferential wall. The restricting member is embedded within the groove and radially protrudes beyond the inner surface. The engaging member surrounds the pin and is disposed between the restricting member and the first abutting wall.
