The first connecting member is rotatably sleeved on the pivotal shaft. The second connecting member is non-rotatably sleeved on the pivotal shaft. One of the second connecting member or the first connecting member forms a resisting portion, and the other one of the second connecting member or the first connecting member forms at least one limiting portion. Both the resisting portion and the at least one limiting portion are substantially V-shaped protrusions. An extending direction of the resisting portion is substantially parallel to an extending direction of the limiting portion. The resisting portion resists the limiting portion such that the first connecting member rotates within a predetermined angle. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100096518 | SUPPORT STAND FOR FLAT-PANEL DISPLAY MONITOR - A support stand for a flat-panel display monitor includes a rotatable bracket, a hinge assembly, a base member, a first link bracket, and a second link bracket. The first and second link brackets are rotatably assembled between the rotatable bracket and the support member via the hinge assembly. The rotatable bracket defines a pivot hole, and a guiding notch communicating with the pivot hole. The hinge assembly includes a pivotal shaft, and a positioning washer sleeved on the pivotal shaft. The pivotal shaft is engaged in the pivot hole of the rotatable bracket from the guiding notch. The positioning washer is fixed on the rotatable bracket to prevent the pivotal shaft from disengaging from the pivot hole. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100097747 | ROTATION MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME - A rotation module includes a base and a rotation member rotatably positioned on the base. The base includes a resisting surface and a connecting surface opposite to the resisting surface. A cylindrical protrusion is formed on the resisting surface. A locking portion is formed at an end of the cylindrical protrusion. The cylindrical protrusion defines an opening through the locking portion. The rotation member includes a bottom surface and a supporting surface opposite to the bottom surface. The rotation member defines a circular through hole. The locking portion is deformable due to the opening so that the cylindrical protrusion is able to pass through the circular through hole. The locking portion releases after the locking portion passes through the circular through hole and resists the rotation member to prevent the rotation member from detaching from the base. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100103596 | ROTATION MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME - A rotation module includes a base and a rotation member. The base includes a resisting end and a connecting end opposite to the resisting end. A periphery of the resisting end forms a curved surface. The rotation member is rotatably positioned on the base. The rotation member includes a bottom surface and a supporting surface opposite to the bottom surface. The rotation member defines a circular depression for receiving the resisting end in the bottom surface. The depression has a circular slanted sidewall resisting the curved surface. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100107368 | HINGE ASSEMBLY - A hinge assembly includes a base, a joint member, a pintle, and a coiling spring. The joint member is rotatably connected to the base. The pintle runs through the base and the joint member. The coiling spring has a first end and a second end. The first end is fixed relative to the base, and the second end is fixed relative to the joint member. | 05-06-2010 |
