20080235908 | Dual-axis hinge for a portable electronic device - A dual-axis hinge for a portable electronic device has at least one stationary bracket, a pivoting bracket and a connecting leaf. The stationary bracket is adapted to be mounted securely in a base of the portable electronic device. The pivoting bracket is mounted pivotally in the stationary bracket and pivot relative to the stationary bracket in a first axis. The connecting leaf is adapted to be connected with a cover of the portable electronic device, is pivotally mounted in the pivoting bracket and pivots relative to the pivoting bracket in a second axis that is in different direction from the first axis. With such an arrangement, the cover connected with the connecting leaf may pivot relative to the base in the first axis and the second axis respectively and allows the portable electronic device to make more motivation and contents to various applicability requirements. | 10-02-2008 |
20080282503 | HINGE ASSEMBLY - A hinge assembly has two leaves, a pintle, at least one limit, at least one positioning element and a rotating bracket. The leaves are respectively connected securely to a cover and a base of a portable electronic device. The pintle and the rotating bracket are mounted between the leaves and allow the leaves to pivot relative to each other. The limit and the positioning element are mounted securely on the pintle and limit positions of the leaves. The rotating bracket is mounted around the pintle and covers the limit and the positioning element. With such an arrangement, the limit and the positioning element are covered. Therefore, abrasions or interference between wires or cableways and the limit or positioning element are prevented and the hinge assembly is guaranteed to last a long time and move smoothly. | 11-20-2008 |
20100154165 | HINGE AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH THE HINGE - A hinge is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic device. A lid covers the hinge and is attached securely to the base. The hinge has two tilting brackets, two tilting shafts, two linking assemblies and two actuating washers. Each tilting bracket has a mounting wing with an elongated hole and a mounting hole and a connecting wing with an abutting surface. The tilting shafts are mounted movably through the elongated holes. Each linking assembly has an actuating seat mounted around the tilting shaft, a holding seat formed on the actuating seat and protruding into the mounting hole and a resilient element mounted in the mounting hole and pressing against the holding seat. The actuating washers are mounted securely around the tilting shafts and selectively abut the abutting surfaces of the connecting wings to lift up the cover. | 06-24-2010 |
20100154166 | HINGE AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH THE HINGE - A hinge is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic device. A lid covers the hinge and is attached securely to the base. The hinge has an arced surface and a rotating shaft. When the cover is pivoted to a certain angle, the rotating shaft abuts the arced surface to lift up the cover so the cover is selectively distant away from the lid. Therefore, the shape of the electronic device does not need to be disfigured and the cover still does not bump against the lid. | 06-24-2010 |
20100154167 | HINGE AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH THE HINGE - A hinge is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic device. A lid covers the hinge and is attached securely to the base. The hinge has two cam wings, two tilting shafts and two actuating disks. The tilting shafts are mounted movably through the cam wings. The actuating disks are mounted respectively around the tilting shafts. Each actuating disk has an actuating protrusion sliding along the outer edge of the cam wing. When the cover is pivoted to a certain angle, the actuating protrusions slide at part of the cam wing having larger diameter to gradually lift up the cover so the cover is selectively distant away from the lid. Therefore, the shape of the electronic device does not need to be disfigured and the cover still does not bump against the lid. | 06-24-2010 |
20100154169 | HINGE AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH THE HINGE - A hinge is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic device. A lid covers the hinge and is attached securely to the base. The hinge has an arced surface and a rotating shaft. When the cover is pivoted to a certain angle, the rotating shaft abuts the arced surface to lift up the cover so the cover is selectively distant away from the lid. Therefore, the shape of the electronic device does not need to be disfigured and the cover still does not bump against the lid. | 06-24-2010 |
20100154170 | HINGE AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH THE HINGE - A hinge is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic device. A lid covers the hinge and is attached securely to the base. The hinge has a cam wing, a sleeve, a rotating shaft and a pin. The rotating shaft is mounted slidably in the sleeve. The pin is mounted slidably and transversely through the sleeve, is attached securely to the rotating shaft and slides along the outer edge of the cam wing. When the cover is pivoted to a certain angle, the pin slide at part of the cam wing having larger diameter to gradually lift up the cover so the cover is selectively distant away from the lid. Therefore, the shape of the electronic device does not need to be disfigured and the cover still does not bump against the lid. | 06-24-2010 |
20110047751 | HINGE AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH THE SAME - A hinge has a first pivoting module having a connecting block with a bore, a first pivot shaft and a second pivot shaft mounted on two opposite sides of the connecting block, a first movable assembly mounted on one end of the first pivot shaft and having a first urged piece and a first movable piece tracing and urging against the first urged piece to drive the first pivot shaft to radially move, a second movable assembly mounted on one end of the second pivot shaft to operate in coordination with the first movable assembly and having a second urged piece and a second movable piece tracing and urging against the second urged piece to drive the second pivot shaft to radially move; and a second pivoting module pivotally mounted on the connecting block. Such hinge addresses opening smoothness of the top lid of electronic device and aesthetic allure. | 03-03-2011 |
