Patent number: 11449109Abstract: A foldable device includes a housing, a foldable display coupled to the housing, and a hinge mechanism at a bendable section of the foldable display. The hinge mechanism includes hinge track modules movably coupling adjacent pairs of hinge beams. Each hinge track module includes a track member coupled to one of the pair of hinge beams. The track member includes an arcuate slot. First and second hinge shaft members positioned at first and second sides of the track member are coupled to the other of the pair of hinge beams. The first and second hinge shaft members include a hinge shaft slidably coupled in the arcuate slot of the track member. Outer peripheral contours of the hinge shafts correspond to an inner peripheral contour of the arcuate slot to guide movement of the hinge shafts in the arcuate slot and maintain the foldable display within allowable bending limits.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Davis Ou, Mike Liu

Publication number: 20220091635Abstract: A foldable device may include a foldable layer and a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism may include a hinge cover fixedly coupled to a hinge base. A plurality of rotation pivots may be rotatably coupled to the hinge base and the hinge cover. A housing of a computing device may be coupled to the rotation pivots, such that, as the rotation pivots rotate into the hinge base and hinge cover, the computing device is unfolded, and as the rotation pivots rotate out of the hinge base and hinge cover, the computing device is folded. Rotation of the rotation pivots into and out of the hinge base and hinge cover may be restricted by one or more stopping mechanisms, so as to maintain a foldable display of the computing device within allowable bending limits.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2020Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Davis Ou, Mike Liu, Vincent Chien, Ollie Chen, Chun Tseng
