Abstract

A hinge assembly includes a shaft, a first bracket, a second bracket, a spacer, and a restricting member. The spacer includes a main body and a resilient area protruding from the main body. The resilient area includes a top portion and a base portion connecting the top portion with the main body. The restricting member and the second bracket are arranged at opposite sides of the spacer. The restricting member forms a protrusion resisting the top portion of the resilient area. The spacer is fixed with the second bracket, and the second bracket includes a receiving portion corresponding to the resilient area. The base portion is located in the projection of the receiving portion projected at the spacer, situated parallel to the axis of the shaft.
