Publication number: 20250143471Abstract: A foldable device includes a pivot base having a through hole and two support holes extending through a base seat for a shaft member and two support shafts to extend therethrough. The shaft member extends along a central axis and is pivotably connected with the base seat about a rotating axis such that the shaft member is rotatable between a ready position and a swung position. The biasing member is interposed between the base seat and the shaft member to have a torque which urges the shaft member to rotate toward the swung position. During rotation of the shaft member to the swung position, the shaft member actuates the support shafts to rotate and spread relative to the base seat and to be inclined and intersect one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2024Publication date: May 8, 2025Applicant: STEP2GOLD CO., LTD.Inventor: Chih-Ting PAO
