Abstract
A hinge for swingably coupling at least different plate members, which comprises a first mounting portion having first detent protrusions for engaging with each corresponding hole formed on one of said plate member, a second mounting portion having at least a second detent protrusion for engaging with other hole formed on the other plate member, a thin flexible portion between the first and second mounting portion and integrally formed with the two mounting portions so as to bend the second mounting portion, at least two groups of ribs provided at said first and second mounting portions respectively, and engagement projections formed on the first mounting portion and capable of being engaged with the edge of one of said plate members. With this construction, the detent or engagement strength as well as the strength of the hinge unit itself can be increased, while easy access to the plate member such as a printed circuit board within an electric apparatus can be realized.
