Angle adjusting device in display device

Claim 1

An angle adjusting device for a display device rotatably supported by a main body for movement between a folded position, an intermediate position, and a fully open position, comprising: a pair of axes, each of said axes being fixed coaxially to one of the main body and the display device, ends of both axes abutting and being rotatable relative to each other; a coil spring closely and externally disposed about an outer surface of at least one of the axes, one end of the spring secured to the other of the axes, the other end of said spring being a free end; and an operating piece, formed on one of said axes, disposed adjacent the free end of the coil spring, the operating piece abutting the free end of the coil spring and working to store rotational energy in the coil spring when the display device is rotated, relative to the main body, into said folded position, the display device standing up automatically between said folded position and said intermediate position and then being arbitrarily adjustable between said intermediate position and said fully open position against a friction force applied by the coil spring between the coil spring and the outer surface of the at least one of the axes.
