Abstract
An exemplary hinge assembly (300) for use in a flat display monitor includes a support member (10), a rotational base (20) and a pivot mechanism (30) for rotatably connecting the rotational base to the support member. The rotational base includes a fixing board (22) and a side board (24) disposed at an end of the fixing board, the side board defining an engaging hole (242) and forming an inwardly bent portion (240) at a distal end edge thereof. The support member includes an extending seat (16) defining a round pivoting hole (1601), and a retaining portion (161) extending from an exterior side of the extending seat. The retaining portion of the side board is configured for blocking the inwardly bent portion of the side board so that a range of rotation of the rotational base relative to the support member is between a first utmost position and a second utmost position.
