Abstract:
A hinge for coupling two parts to allow one part to be positioned at an arbitrary angle and to maintain said angle by providing a high static torque that resists rotation between the parts. The hinge includes a plurality of identical clips having a flat polygonal shape and a closed opening a receiving a cylindrical shaft. The clips are stacked to form a central opening having a polygonal shape and the shaft extends through the central opening to form an interference fit with the clips.
