Abstract
A torque-adjustable hinge is mounted between a display panel and a base of a portable device and has a stationary bracket, a rotating bracket, a pintle, a torsional spring and an adjusting element. The stationary bracket is attached to the base. The rotating bracket is attached to the display panel. The pintle is attached to the rotating bracket and is mounted through the torsional spring. The torsional spring is attached to the stationary bracket and abuts against the adjusting element. By changing the height that the adjusting element protrudes above a receiving tag of the stationary bracket, the torsional spring is selectively tighter or looser wound around the pintle. Therefore, the torque generated by the hinge is adjusted without replacing any element.
