Patent number: 7036186Abstract: A swing hinge device of a portable terminal has a pair of housings, which are coupled to each other in such a manner that they can be rotated while facing each other. Using a resilient means and a pair of cams, the swing hinge device provides a rotational force so that one of the housings can be rotated semi-automatically to a position for allowing speech communication. The device also uses a hinge stopper, stopper washer, and the like to limit the range of rotation of the housings to 360° or less in any direction. This avoids any damage to a flexible printed circuit board and the like, which is positioned between the pair of housings.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2004Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co.

Patent number: 6925684Abstract: A hinge device of an information terminal, wherein the information terminal comprises a main body, a sub-body to be opened away from or closed to the main body while rotating about a hinge axis extending in one direction of the main body, and the hinge device for rotatably coupling the main body to the sub body. The hinge device comprises a driving part generating a driving force for rotating the sub body, and a clutch part for rotating the sub-body by the driving force of the driving part. When the sub-body rotates by external force, the clutch part prevents rotating force of the sub-body from being transmitted to the driving part. Such a hinge device configured as stated above allows the user to automatically open and close the sub-body of the information terminal by virtue of a driving motor provided therein, as well as to manually open and close it. Further, the user can freely adjust an opening angle of the sub-body to various angles, resulting in improvement in convenience of use.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2003Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sung-Ill Kang, Jong-Gun Bae, Young-Chun Kim
