  • Patent number: 8621714
    Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a shaft, a main body drive member, a follower, and a resilient member. The main body drive member, the follower, and the resilient member are mounted with the shaft in turn. One end of the main body drive member has a cam. One end of the follower has a cam engaging with the cam of the main body drive member. The resilient member causes the cam of the follower to resist the cam of the main body drive member due to the decompression of the resilient member, and when the follower is manually rotated relative to the main body drive member about an angle, the follower automatically rotates relative to the main body drive member due to the decompression of the resilient member.

  • Patent number: 8402607
    Abstract: An exemplary hinge assembly includes a sleeve, a first member, a second member, and a resilient member. The sleeve includes a sleeve wall and an open end. The first member is received in the sleeve. The second member is located next to the first member. One of the first member and the second member have a cam, the other of the first member and second member have a cam follower interacting with the cam so that the first member rotates about an axis and the second member moves linearly along the axis when the cam follower follows the cam. The resilient member is fitted in the sleeve and provides an elastic force to bias the first member and the second member into contact with each other. At least one tab is formed adjacent to the open end and blocking a minor portion of the open end. The at least one tab retains the first, second, and resilient members in the sleeve for preventing them from escaping the sleeve through the open end.
