Abstract
The hinge assembly includes a housing and a monitor bezel for supporting a video monitor. The bezel is pivotally mounted on the housing about a pivot axis. A friction member is attached to one of the housing and the bezel and positioned and in sliding contact with a contact surface of the other of the housing and the bezel. The friction member is radially spaced apart from the pivot axis. A bias member biases the friction member against the contact surface. The pivoting of the bezel about the pivot axis causes the friction member to slide along the contact surface.
