Abstract
A dual-axis hinge, comprises a body, a pintle, a mounting leaf, a resilient element and a mounting bracket. The body is tubular and has two ends. The pintle is mounted inside and protrudes transversely from the body and has an upper end and a flange that protrudes radially out from the upper end. The mounting leaf is mounted rotatably around the pintle between the flange and the body and attaches to a cover of an electronic device. The resilient element is mounted around the pintle between the flange and the mounting leaf. The mounting bracket is connected rotatably to one end of the body and a base of an electronic device. With such an arrangement, the dual-axis hinge only has a few components in a simple structure and allows the cover to lift from the base and rotate horizontally relative to the base.
