Abstract
A hinge connectable with two housing parts to allow opening and closing thereof includes a mounting seat, two rotary units and two lateral support plates. The mounting seat has two first arcuate slots at two sides of a central line. The rotary units are connected with the mounting seat at the two sides of the central line for mounting the housing parts, and shiftable between an unfolded state and a folded state. Each rotary unit includes a linking member, a rail sliding block, a rotating bracket and an interposed sliding member interposed between the rail sliding block and the rotating bracket. The sliding of the rail sliding block relative to the rotating bracket can be steady and firm without the need to elongate the inclined rails of the rail sliding block and the rotating bracket, which renders the hinge more compact and slim.
