Abstract: A sliding module includes a first section, a second section, a hinge module, a sliding member and a pivot body. The hinge module is positioned on the first section. The sliding member is slidably engaged with the first section, and is rotatably connected to the second section. Two ends of the pivot body are respectively connected to the first section and the hinge module. When the sliding member slides relative to the first section, the pivot body moves the second section to rotate relative to the first section to a tilted orientation.

Abstract: A sliding module includes a first section, a second section, a sliding member, at least one elastic member and a pivot body. The sliding member is slidably engaged with the first section, and is rotatably connected to the second section. One end of the at least one elastic member is fixed to the first section, the other end is fixed to the sliding member.

Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a shaft, a seat made of plastic, a follower, a cam, a latching member, a resilient member, and a sleeve. The follower includes a cam surface. The seat is fixed to the follower, and the seat and the follower are placed around the shaft. The cam has a latching cam surface, the cam surface is engaged with the cam latching surface. The latching member is fixed to the cam, and the cam and the latching member are placed around the shaft. An outer diameter of the cam is smaller than the latching member. The resilient member is placed around the shaft and provides an elastic force to make the cam surface abut against the latching cam surface. The sleeve receives the cam, the latching member, and the resilient member, and the latching member engages with the sleeve.

Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a first cam, a second cam, a third cam, at least one resilient member and a shaft. The first cam includes an outer cam surface and an inner cam surface. The third cam is slidably received in the second cam, and the second cam and the third cam respectively engage with the outer cam surface and the inner cam surface. The resilient member provides an elastic force making the third cam and the second cam abut against the first cam. The shaft extends through the first cam, the second cam, the third cam and the at least one resilient member.

Abstract: An exemplary hinge assembly includes a sleeve, a first member, a second member, and a resilient member. The sleeve includes a first end defining an opening. 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. The first end is deformed to form a narrowed portion to reduce the opening. The narrowed portion retains the first member, the second member, and the resilient member in the sleeve and prevents the first member, the second member, and the resilient member from escaping the sleeve through the opening.

Abstract: 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.
