A hinge structure includes a cabinet plate defining a first face and a second face, the cabinet plate including a first fastening hole, a stiffener plate in planar contact with the first face of the cabinet plate along the Z-axis, the stiffener plate including a second fastening hole, a hinge plate in planar contact with the second face of the cabinet plate along the Z-axis, the hinge plate including a locating hole, and a fastener for fastening the cabinet plate to the stiffener plate, the fastener protruding through the first fastening hole and the second fastening hole along the Z-axis and including a fastener head, wherein the fastener head is cylindrical and accepted within the locating hole of the hinge plate.

An automotive lift-off hinge joint to rotationally connect an automotive door and body comprises first and second door side hinge brackets and a body side hinge bracket. A detent shaft is provided with an interiorly threaded intermediate portion adapted to receive a removable threaded fastener and with a shaped detent shaft feature adapted to engage a similarly shaped pyramidal portion of a guide pin fastened to the body side hinge bracket. The detent shaft is rotationally mounted within a cylindrical check mechanism and secured in relation to the first and second door side hinge brackets. Bushings in door side hinge bracket apertures allow rotation of portions of the detent shaft extending through the apertures. The pyramidal shaped portions are preferably square.

A hinge device and an electronic device having the same are provided. The hinge device includes a hinge element, first connecting element, and second connecting element. The first connecting element includes first, second and third segments. The second segment is disposed between the first and third segments. The third segment is connected to the hinge element. The first segment includes a first connecting plate and first folding plate between which a first angle less than 180 degrees but greater than 0 degree is defined. The first folding plate has one side connected to the first connecting plate. The second connecting element includes a first fixing plate, first boss, and first extending arm. The first extending arm has one end connected to the hinge element and the other end connected to the first fixing plate. The first boss is connected to the first fixing plate.
