20090126155 | Coupling assembly for a foldable electronic device - A foldable electronic device comprising a first and second housing element and a coupling assembly, including a linkage assembly and a biasing member, that directs the housing elements between a closed and a deployed orientation. The linkage assembly includes a plurality of adjacently disposed links collectively defining a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the first housing element and the second end is coupled to the second housing element. Each link is rotatably coupled to each adjacently disposed link and includes an outward limiting member limiting the relative rotation of adjacent links in an outward direction of rotation. The biasing member is coupled to the housing elements and outwardly biases the housing elements relative to each other to direct rotation of the housing elements toward the deployed orientation. The operable length of the biasing member changes as the housing elements are rotated toward the deployed orientation. | 05-21-2009 |
20110005035 | FURNITURE HINGE - The furniture hinge comprises a first and a second equaliser connecting, operatively to each other, a box-shaped body-adapted to be fixed to a door of the furniture and an arm of a hinge adapted to be fixed to a fixed element of the furniture, the first equaliser being pivoted to the box-shaped body through a first pin and to the hinge arm through a second pin parallel to the first pin, the second equaliser being pivoted to the box-shaped body through a third pin parallel to the first pin and the hinge arm through a fourth pin parallel to the first pin, further provided for also being a flexure spring for generating a force on the door during the rotation of the hinge, the flexure spring being wound around a pin fixed to the hinge arm and having a first arm abutting against the hinge arm and a second arm abutting against a control cam present on the first equaliser, further provided for being a contact surface between the control cam and the second arm, during the rotation of the hinge, moves both along the profile of the control cam and along the profile of the second arm. | 01-13-2011 |

20120096678 | HINGE MECHANISM - A hinge mechanism includes two pivot shafts, two rotating shafts, a first connection member, a second connection member, two main gears, two transmission gears, and two resilient members. The two pivot shafts are substantially parallel to each other. The two rotating shafts are parallelly positioned between the two pivot shafts. The first connection member is sleeved on the two pivot shafts and the two rotating shafts together with the second connection member. The two main gears are sleeved on the two pivot shafts respectively. The two transmission gears are respectively sleeved on the two rotating shafts together with the two resilient members, and positioned between the two main gears. Each transmission gear engages with the other transmission gear and one of the main gears. The two main gears and the two transmission gears are held between the first and second connection members. | 04-26-2012 |
20120222268 | SLIDE-TILT MECHANISM - A slide/tilt mechanism is provided to include a base plate; a slide plate which is slid between a closed position and an open position with respect to the base plate; a guide plate which supports the slide plate to make the slide plate movable; a tilt mechanism which tilts the slide plate with respect to the base plate by inclining the guide plate with respect to the base plate; an elastic member which actuates the slide plate in a slide direction and a tilt direction; and a tilt restriction member which engages the tilt mechanism to restrict the inclination of the guide plate when the slide plate is slid from the closed position to the open position, and disengages the tilt mechanism to permit the inclination of the guide plate when the slide plate reaches the open position. | 09-06-2012 |
20120246874 | COMPONENTS DESIGNED TO BE LOAD-ADAPTIVE - A load-adaptive component includes at least one trapezoidal, elastically movable four-bar hinge incorporated integrally into the component to generate a shape change behavior that is anisotropically resilient-elastic and is directed counter to the direction of action of a force. The four-bar hinges have first recesses for forming hinge points that are produced by weak points in the material and embody elastic bending hinge, and second slot-like recesses connected to or joining the hinge points. A plurality of successive, mutually spaced four-bar hinges form a multi-hinge mechanism integrated into the component. | 10-04-2012 |
20120291224 | SLIDING MECHANISM - The present invention discloses a sliding mechanism including a first board, a second board, a first fixed piece, a frame, a first elastic element and a first sliding element. The second board includes a first slot. The first fixed piece passes through the first slot to be disposed on the first board. The first elastic element is disposed in the frame. When the second board slides a first distance relative to the first board, the first sliding element slides along a first direction to press the first elastic element, so as to make the first elastic element generate a first elastic force. When the second board slides a second distance relative to the first board, the first sliding element slides along a second direction and makes the first elastic element release the first elastic force. It makes the second board slide automatically relative to the first board. | 11-22-2012 |

20130239367 | MOVABLE HINGE - A movable hinge to pivotally couple a base and a back panel of an electronic device includes a first slide portion and a second slide portion slidable against the first slide portion. The first slide portion includes a track portion and a first sloped surface connected to the track portion. The second slide portion has a first pin with two ends respectively running through the track portion and fastening to the base, a butting portion coupled on the first pin and slidable thereon, and an elastic element interposed between the butting potion and base. | 09-19-2013 |
20140196254 | FOLDABLE FLEXIBLE DISPLAY DEVICE - The present invention provides a foldable flexible display device. A foldable flexible display device according to the present invention includes: first and second plates having a predetermined area; a hinge member for connecting the first plate and the second plate; and a flexible display screen attached to the tops of the first plate and the second plate and the hinge member, in which the hinge member folds the first plate and the second plate and the flexible display screen while folding with smooth curvature. | 07-17-2014 |
