An assembly for controlling turn of a hinge is mounted within one section of a hinged structure such as a laptop, palm-top or handy personal computer. In the assembly housing, there are arranged an elongated pivot, a cylindric plastic sleeve having an aperture for setting the pivot, and a socket having a frusto-conical aperture. The sleeve is usually of a truncated biconical shape and has some slot extends axially to one or other end thereof. The inner surface of the housing bore inclines axially in the opposite direction to the inner surface of the socket so that the inclined inner surface can contact with the other frusto-conical outer surface of the sleeve.
