Abstract
A hinge assembly attaches a cover pivotally to a base of an electronic device and has a stationary leaf, a bushing and a pivoting leaf The stationary leaf is attached to the base and has a barrel and two slots. Each slot is formed in the barrel. The bushing is mounted in the barrel and has two end edges and two securing members. Each securing member is formed from the bushing and is mounted in the corresponding slot. The pivoting leaf is mounted rotatably in the bushing and attaches to the cover. Consequently, the hinge has a small bushing and uses less material reducing the size and weight of the hinge assembly, and the same of the electronic device.
