The hinge device for rotatably linking a first member (1) and a second member (2) has a first pivoting mount (4) provided to the first member (1), and a second pivoting mount (6) provided to the second member (2) and linked with the first pivoting mount (4) so that relative rotation is possible via a shaft part (5). A stop piece (9) for pressing against and locking onto a protrusion (8) provided to one of the first pivoting mount (4) and the second pivoting mount (6) is provided to the other pivoting mount to block over-rotation at a designated relative rotational position between the first pivoting mount (4) and the second pivoting mount (6).

Abstract: A sliding device and an electronic device using this sliding device are provided, wherein an elastic part that can be conveniently mass produced is developed, which has heretofore been unattained, and mass productivity and cost effectiveness are improved using this elastic part. The sliding device is configured such that one end and another end of an elastic part (3) are linked respectively to a slidable first member (1) and second member (2), and an urging force in the sliding direction is created between the first member (1) and the second member (2) by the elastic urging of the elastic part (3).

Abstract: The present invention provides as an object a novel hinge device which is extremely valuable as a commercial product and an electronic instrument using the hinge device.

Abstract: A compact hinge device is provided with which it is possible to turn two members and it is possible to make one of the members incline with respect to the other member. By a turning shaft part turning in a through hole in a first base member, a second base member constructed to turn together with the turning shaft part can be turned, and by an abutting part provided on the second base member sliding on a cam surface provided on the first base member the second base member can be made to incline with respect to the turning shaft part.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an innovative hinge device of a dual-shaft construction that performs a synchronized pivoting motion, and that can smoothly perform an undulating pivoting motion without any unsteadiness; and an electronic device using the hinge device.

Abstract: To provide a novel opening/closing structure for a flip provided to a portable phone, which is superior in evaluation on the market, a flip (3) that is rotatable in an opening direction from a condition where a phone operating portion (2) provided on a surface of a portable phone body (1) is covered by the flip to the condition where the phone operating portion (2) is exposed is provided at a predetermined position on the surface of the portable phone body (1).

Abstract: According to the present invention, a hinge device which may be mounted with one action without fixing and mounting the hinge device with any other discrete part and is superior in mounting work, in which a cam portion 4 is provided within a mounting case body 3 in a rotation preventing manner, the cam portion 4 is provided slidably movably within the mounting case body 4 against an engagement biasing spring 5 provided within the mounting case body 3, a cam engagement portion 6 for engaging with the cam portion 4 by the engagement biasing spring 5 is provided in confrontation with the cam portion 4, the cam engagement portion 4 or a mounting portion provided in the cam engagement portion 6 is provided projectingly on one side of the mounting case body 3, the mounting case body 3 is provided in a fixed condition to the first member 1, the cam engagement portion 6 or the mounting portion provided in the cam engagement portion 6 is provided in a fixed condition to the second member 2, when the second member 2 is

Abstract: A damper device includes a shaft 2 inserted relatively rotatably into an axial hole 1a provided in a bearing portion 1. A high flexible resin portion 3 is provided between an outer circumferential surface of the shaft 2 and an inner surface of the axial hole 1a. A recess portion 4, with which the high flexible resin portion 3 contacts, and into which the high flexible resin portion 3 bites by relative rotation of the shaft 2 to the bearing portion 1, is provided in either one or both of the inner surface of the axial hole 1a and the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 2.

Abstract: This hinge device comprises: a hinge element 10 which, along with being made up from an axis body 14 and a hinge main body, is made so that the axis body 14 has a predetermined torque characteristic around an axis relative to said hinge main body; a lock mechanism 30 (a first lock member which has an engagement cutaway 31b, and a second lock member which is biased by a spring 32 in the forwards direction and has an engagement body 34b) which functions so as to lock rotational movement of the axis body 14 around the axis; and a lock release mechanism 40 (a push button 40 having a projection 43) for releasing the locking by the lock mechanism 30. Due to this, it is not necessary for a separate lock mechanism or the like to be provided to a portable electronic device, and it becomes possible to provide a hinge device which contributes to simplification and reduction of space of a portable electronic device.

Abstract: To provide a novel hinge structure for a collapsible portable phone, which is very convenient and highly valuable on the market, the hinge structure includes an operating member (2) provided with a phone operating portion (1) on its surface; a display member (3), pivotally and collapsibly coupled with the operating member (2) and provided with a display image field (6) in which numerals and/or letters for phone numbers and/or names may be displayed on its surface; and a biasing mechanism S that may exhibit a closing biasing force for biasing the display member (3) in a closing direction between a closed condition that the display member (3) is collapsed to the operating member (2) and a predetermined rotational position A where the display member (3) is rotated to the operating member (2) in an opening direction and may exhibit an opening biasing force for biasing the display member (3) in the opening direction between a fully opened condition that the display member (3) is fully opened to the operating membe
