  • Publication number: 20230221774
    Abstract: In example implementations, a hinge for a dual-display device is provided. The hinge includes a positional member, a moving force member, and a moving bar. The positional member includes a first side and a second side. The first side includes a protrusion to divide the first side between a first position and a second position. The moving force member is coupled to a housing of a first display of the dual-display device. The moving force member is positioned against the second side of the positional member to allow the positional member to return to a resting position when moved. A first end of the moving bar is positioned against the first side of the positional member. The moving bar includes an axis of rotation that is transverse to a length of the moving bar to rotate the moving bar between the first position and the second position.

  • Publication number: 20230104827
    Abstract: An example electronic device comprises a first portion including a display, a second portion, a hinge movably coupling the first portion to the second portion, and a flex-protection mechanism. The flex-protection mechanism includes a first magnetic component, a retractable bumper coupled to a second magnetic component, and a third magnetic component. In response to movement of the first portion between an open position and a closed position and magnetic interactions between the second magnetic component, the first magnetic component, and the third magnetic component, the retractable bumper moves between a retracted position and a protruded position.

  • Publication number: 20220397933
    Abstract: An example computing device includes a hinge, a first housing, and a second housing rotatably connected to the first housing via the hinge. As an example, a first display device is disposed in the first housing. The second housing includes a cover disposed along a bottom surface of the second housing, wherein the cover includes a first portion and a second portion separable from the first portion of the cover. As an example, the second portion of the cover includes an L-shaped mechanism coupled to the first portion of the cover at a first end of the L-shaped mechanism and to the first housing at a second end of the L-shaped mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10852764
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a hinge device is described. The device includes a first shaft to be coupled to a first body and a second shaft to be coupled to a second body. A first band of the device is coupled to the shafts and travels along a first path between the first shaft and the second shaft as the shafts rotate in opposite directions. A second band of the device is coupled to the shafts and travels along a second path between the first shaft and the second shaft as the shafts rotate in opposite directions.

  • Patent number: 10317951
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide a hinge mechanism to couple housings of a computing device. As an example, the hinge mechanism includes a first guide rail fixed to a first housing of the computing device, a second guide rail fixed to a second housing of the computing device, and an intermediate guide rail to connect the first and second guide rails to each other. As an example, the hinge mechanism includes clamping brackets to hold the first, second, and immediate guide rails together and apply rotational friction to the hinge mechanism so that the first and second housings can be positioned at various angles with respect to each other.

  • Patent number: 10296055
    Abstract: An example system for adjusting the center of mass of a computing device includes a base slidably coupled to a first portion of the computing device. The base repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base. A first hinge couples the first portion and a second portion, rotates the second portion relative to the first portion about an axis of rotation, and repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base.

  • Patent number: 10296056
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide a hinge mechanism to pivotally connect housings of a computing device along an axis. As an example, the hinge mechanism includes a first guide rail fixed to a first housing of the computing device, a second guide rail fixed to a second housing of the computing device, and an intermediate guide rail to connect the first and second guide rails to each other. As an example, the hinge mechanism includes a rotation assembly linked to the first guide rail via a bell crank, wherein a rotational axis of the rotation assembly is offset from the axis, and the rotation assembly is to provide a level of resistance to a torque provided when opening or closing the first housing with respect to the second housing.
