  • Patent number: 8082626
    Abstract: A hinge provides swiveling of a display relative to one side of a host body including a first fastening seat, a pintle, a second fastening seat, a main torsion anchor member, a torsion rotary member, an ancillary torsion anchor member, a compressed elastic reed assembly and a nut. The main torsion anchor member and the torsion rotary member are compressed by a returning force of the compressed elastic reed assembly. When the pintle pivots to a selected angle, the protrusion rapidly slides in a retaining latch trough of the main torsion anchor member through a steep sloped surface so that the display automatically and fully folds over the host body. The torsion rotary member pivots concurrently so that the bulged edge slides on a gradual sloped surface of different gradients so that adequate friction resistance is generated due to compression of the returning force of the compressed elastic reed assembly.

  • Patent number: 7565719
    Abstract: A hinge for anchoring and folding on a small pintle which has a diameter between 3 and 7.9 mm to form a stepless swiveling and anchoring by increasing the friction resistant force to counter the torque. It includes a maneuvering structure which has a rotary member and an anchor member that form a rotational displacement on a contact surface therebetween that can be swiveled and anchored in a stepless manner and latched on a fixed location for closing. A braking structure is provided that has braking elements and washers to increase the friction resistant forces so that the small pintle has adequate friction resistant forces to anchor a display device after unfolding. The maneuvering structure has anchor elements and retaining troughs of different sizes that cannot be coupled with each other when the display device is unfolded and swiveled to 180 degrees to maintain the original friction resistant forces so that the display device may be anchored at any angle after unfolded.

  • Publication number: 20090007373
    Abstract: The present invention includes fabricating a raw metal through a first rolling process to form a body having a base, a bracing portion and a holding trough; placing a forming strut in the holding trough; fabricating the body held the forming strut through a second rolling process to form the bracing portion in an arched shape with the inner side in contact with the forming strut; treating the body with the arched bracing portion and the forming strut in a heat treatment to enhance the hardness; and cutting off the body at a selected length and removing the forming strut to become a finished product of the hinge barrel. The hinge barrel thus formed can provide a required steady friction coefficient. It is simply structured and can be fabricated with a lower force. The probability of product defects resulting from too much or too little friction coefficient can be prevented.
