Abstract
A hinge is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic device. A lid covers the hinge and is attached securely to the base. The hinge has two tilting brackets, two tilting shafts, two linking assemblies and two actuating washers. Each tilting bracket has a mounting wing with an elongated hole and a mounting hole and a connecting wing with an abutting surface. The tilting shafts are mounted movably through the elongated holes. Each linking assembly has an actuating seat mounted around the tilting shaft, a holding seat formed on the actuating seat and protruding into the mounting hole and a resilient element mounted in the mounting hole and pressing against the holding seat. The actuating washers are mounted securely around the tilting shafts and selectively abut the abutting surfaces of the connecting wings to lift up the cover.
