016362000 | Including sliding surfaces to permit relative translation of hinged members | 18 |
20080263827 | Pivotal-axis changing hinge - A pivotal-axis changing hinge has a stationary leaf, a pivoting leaf, a pintle assembly and a cam. The pivoting leaf and stationary leaf are respectively connected securely to a cover having a rear edge and a keyway and a base having an elongated gudgeon. A parabolic edge is formed at an edge near the elongated gudgeon. The pintle assembly is mounted through the keyway and pivotally through the elongated gudgeon to allow the leaves to pivot along a pivotal axis of the pintle assembly. The cam is mounted on the pintle assembly, rotates simultaneously with the pintle assembly and has a protrusion mounted slidably on the parabolic edge to move the pintle assembly and the cover perpendicularly away from the base when the cover is pivoting. Consequently, the proximal edge of the cover is kept from colliding with the base and the rotating angle of the cover is expanded. | 10-30-2008 |
20080301909 | Rotatable slide hinge - A rotatable slide hinge has a stationary leaf, a moving leaf, a spring, a pivot pin assembly and a guide pin assembly. The stationary leaf has a top and a bottom. The moving leaf is mounted on the bottom of the stationary leaf, sliding and turning relative to the stationary leaf and has a top surface. The spring is attached to the top of the stationary leaf and has a stationary end and a moving end. The pivot pin assembly connects the stationary leaf and the moving leaf and allows the moving leaf to slide relative to the stationary leaf. The guide pin assembly extends through the moving end of the spring, the stationary leaf and the moving leaf to connect the stationary leaf, the spring and the moving leaf and allows the moving leaf to slide and turn relative to the stationary leaf. | 12-11-2008 |
20090007383 | SLIDE HINGE MODULE AND SLIDE TYPE EQUIPMENT UTILIZING THE SAME - A slide hinge module of a slide-type device, which includes: a hinge assembly, in which a connecting member having a locking part and a guide member having a guide part are foldably assembled with each other, and elastic force is exerted to the hinge assembly in a direction where the connecting member and the guide member are unfolded from each other by an elastic member; a slide member assembled with the guide part so as to slide, the slide member having one end at which a swing operating part is formed; and a swing member including a locking jaw which is rotatably installed at the guide member and is locked in the locking part or is released from the locking part according to a rotational angle, the swing member including a swing-trigger part, which is locked in the swing operating part according to a movement position of the slide member and is rotated so as to allow the locking jaw to be released from the locking part, or is released from the swing operating part and is rotated in an inverse direction so as to allow the locking jaw to be locked in the locking part. While the slide member slides along the guide part, the locking jaw catches torque of a hinge spring so that large amounts of frictional force due to the hinge spring aren't generated between the guide member and slid member. Therefore, the slide member can smoothly slide. | 01-08-2009 |

20100000051 | CASEMENT WINDOW HINGE WITH INTEGRATED ARM PIVOTS - A casement window hinge eliminates the use of rivets in the pivot between the sash arm and guide arm such as require a high force deformation of an element to a precise compression that varies according to a “tolerance stack up” between four controlled dimensions of the parts being assembled: the length of the rivet, the deformation of the rivet head, and the thickness of the two arms being assembled. The invention eliminates two of these dimensions through the use of integrally molded pivot pins that fit into a bore in the second arm and which are plastically flanged. Resistance to a pull-out of wood screws that are countersunk into a plastic sash arm is provided by exaggerated counter sinking with undersized countersink bores. | 01-07-2010 |

The slide is mounted slidably in the chamber of the stationary bracket. The pivot pin is mounted securely on the slide and extends perpendicularly from the stationary bracket. The rotatable bracket is mounted rotatably on the pivot pin. The slide hinge has merely four components so that fabricating the slide hinge is easy and fast. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the slide hinge is low. | 01-07-2010 |
