The cam is fixed with the shaft. The hinge housing has an open end and a partially-closed end. The receiving portion is formed adjacent to the open end. The receiving portion is radially expandable. The pivot shaft passes through the hinge housing from the partially-closed end. The elastic element is received in the hinge housing, and is placed around the shaft. The cam is received in the receiving portion. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100205778 | WASHER FOR HINGE ASSEMBLY - A washer is for a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a shaft. The washer is placed around the shaft. The engagement between the washer and the shaft is a clearance fit. By the clearance engagement between the washer and the main shaft, the mechanism efficiency is greatly improved. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110067203 | HINGE ASSEMBLY FOR FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A hinge assembly includes a shaft, a cam, a follower, and an resilient member. The follower is mounted on the shaft. One end of the follower has a first cam surface. The first cam surface defines a groove. The cam is mounted on the shaft and adjacent to the follower. The cam has a second cam surface, and the second cam surface engages with the first cam surface. The second cam surface forms a protrusion, and the protrusion is received in the groove. The resilient member is placed around the shaft forcing the first cam surface to engage with the second cam surface. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110075333 | SLIDING AND TILTING MECHANISM AND PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME - A portable electronic device is disclosed including a first part, a second part, and a sliding and tilting mechanism. The sliding and tilting mechanism includes a lower board fixed to the second part, an upper board fixed to the first part, an intermediate board positioned between the lower board and the upper board. The sliding and tilting mechanism further includes two elastic assemblies, a swinging member, and a cam member, all of which engage with each other to tilt the intermediate board and the upper board relative to the lower board after the upper board slides over a predetermined distance along the intermediate board. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110095461 | ELASTIC ASSEMBLY AND SLIDE MECHANISM USING THE SAME - An elastic assembly for a portable electronic device includes at least two springs and two bushings. Each spring has a different curvature radius and two annular connecting portions at two ends, the connecting portion of each spring having a different diameter relative other connecting portion of other springs. The springs are substantially arranged in a plane, the two connecting portions of each spring are respectively coiled around and secured to another two connecting portion of another spring, the two bushings are respectively secured to the two connecting portion having the smallest diameter. The disclosure also discloses a slide mechanism using the elastic module. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110096475 | SLIDE MECHANISM FOR SLIDE-TYPE PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A slide mechanism includes a first plate defining two first guiding slots, a second plate defining two second guiding slots, and two connecting bodies. Each connecting body passes through the first guiding slot and the corresponding second guiding slot to connect the first plate and the second plate, and the connecting body is slidable relative to the first guiding slot and the second guiding slot. The invention also discloses a portable electronic device applying the slide mechanism. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110096479 | SLIDING AND TILTING MECHANISM AND PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME - A portable electronic device is disclosed including a first part, a second part, and a sliding and tilting mechanism. The sliding and tilting mechanism includes a lower board fixed to the second part, an upper board fixed to the first part, an intermediate board positioned between the lower board and the upper board. The sliding and tilting mechanism further includes two elastic assemblies and a tilting assembly, and tilts the intermediate board and the upper board relative to the lower board after the upper board slides over a predetermined distance along the intermediate board. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110100993 | SLIDING MECHANISM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING THE SAME - A sliding mechanism comprises a sliding plate, a main plate, a first slide enabling member and a biasing member. The sliding plate has two angled portions. The main plate has two side walls. The first slide enabling member is coupling the angled portions of the sliding plate to the side walls of the main plate such that the sliding plate is slid relative to the main plate from a closed position or to retract from an open position. The first slide enabling member comprises a set of first roller assembly and a set of first tracks that engage the first roller assembly, when the sliding plate slide relative to the main plate, the first roller assembly are rotated and slid relative to the first tracks. The biasing member biases the sliding plate to slide to the open position when the sliding plate crosses an intermediate position. | 05-05-2011 |
