  • Patent number: 8320111
    Abstract: In a slide/rotation attachment unit (100) having a base plate (1) with first and second axis pins (10, 10a) being spaced from each other at a predetermined distance and a movable plate (2) with first and second hook-shaped portions (20, 20a) that can engage with the first and second axis pins, respectively, the base plate and the movable plate are joined together so that the base plate and the movable plate are rotatable relative to each other. When the movable plate rotates in one direction, the first hook-shaped portion is brought into engagement with the first axis pin, and the second hook-shaped portion is disengaged from the second axis pin. When the movable plate rotates in another direction, the second hook-shaped portion is brought into engagement with the second axis pin, and the first hook-shaped portion is disengaged from the first axis pin.

  • Patent number: 8060159
    Abstract: A slidable and rotationally attaching unit configured to slidably and rotatably attach a movable housing on a supporting base so that a part of the movable housing is overlapped with the supporting base, the slidable and rotational attaching unit includes a base plate provided between the supporting base and the movable housing and attached to the supporting base; a plate cam provided between the supporting base and the movable housing and attached to the movable housing; a slide guide provided on a surface of the base plate facing the plate cam, the slide guide being formed by a slit or a groove along upper and lower directions in a standard pose that is a basic using state of the movable housing; a guide pin provided on a surface of the base plate facing the plate cam, the guide pin being positioned on an extended line of a lower end of the slide guide; and a connecting pin slidably and rotatably engaged with the plate cam so that the connecting pin prevents the plate cam from coming off from the slide guid

  • Publication number: 20070197268
    Abstract: A conventional horizontal axis portion is divided into two to have a triaxial structure including a vertical axis portion. Fixing these portions by a hinge main body enables stress and moment applied to each part to be reduced, resulting in realizing down-sizing of a biaxial hinge as a whole.

  • Patent number: 6609273
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hinge providing a specified braking force against pivotal motion between two hinged flaps. The hinge includes a bearing body, which has, at its exterior, mountings for a first flap and also a wear-resistant inner surface having slider catches at positions spaced by a specified angle on the same circumference of the inner surface. The hinge also has a shaft with a mounting at one end for a second flap. The shaft is mounted in the bearing body in a manner allowing relative turning, and also has a spring housing hole opening at its outer surface along an axis crossing at a right angle with its longitudinal axis. While turning, a coil spring, which is inserted into the spring housing hole, biases a slider radially outward from the spring housing hole.
