Abstract
A hinge includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve pivotally engaged with the first sleeve. The first sleeve has an arcuate step formed on an outer surface thereof, a neck extending from an outer surface of the arcuate step, at least one indentation formed on the arcuate step and a first upright wall formed on an end of the indentation. The second sleeve has at least one projection formed on an inner surface thereof to correspond to and be selectively received in the at least one indentation of the first sleeve so as to provide a positioning effect to the second sleeve when the at least one projection is received in the at least one indentation and a second upright wall formed on an end of the projection of the second sleeve to correspond to the first upright wall such that the first upright wall abutting the second upright wall is able to prevent excessive pivotal movement of the second sleeve relative to the first sleeve.
