Abstract
A hinge includes a seat, a shaft, a swivel bracket and at least one limiting bar. The seat includes two support portions. An accommodation area is defined between the two support portions. The two support portions are respectively provided with a shaft hole. The two shaft holes are arranged coaxially and connected to the accommodation area. The shaft includes a coupling section and two pivoting sections. The coupling section is located between the two pivoting sections. The two pivoting sections are respectively provided in one of the two shaft holes in a rotatable manner, and the coupling section is in the accommodation area. The swivel bracket includes a mounting plate, a sleeve piece and at least one extension portion. The mounting plate includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and a bottom edge. The sleeve piece extends from the bottom edge of the mounting plate and is wound at a side corresponding to the inner surface. The sleeve piece is configured to be sleeved over and fixed to the coupling section, such that swivel bracket is fixed to the shaft and rotatable with respect to the seat to move the inner surface to face the accommodation area. The extension portion is adjacent to lateral edges of the sleeve piece and extends from the bottom edge and is bent towards the side corresponding to the inner surface. The limiting bar is disposed on one of the two support portions and is in the accommodation area. The limiting bar is in a rotational path of the extension portion. When the swivel bracket is flipped outward with respect to the seat, the extension portion moves towards the limiting bar.
