  • Publication number: 20060023407
    Abstract: A notebook suitable for display panels of different sizes has a main body and a display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a supporting unit, a holding assembly, and a display panel. The supporting unit is pivotly connected with the main body. The supporting unit has a receiving space formed therein and a first fastening structure. The holding assembly is assembled on the first fastening structure to decrease the receiving space. The holding assembly has a second fastening structure. The display panel is assembled on the second fastening structure and disposed in the receiving space. Thereby, the first fastening structure of the supporting unit can be assembled with a larger display panel or the holding assembly, and the second fastening structure of the holding assembly can be assembled with a smaller display panel.

  • Publication number: 20040025298
    Abstract: An automatic homing rotary hinge, which includes a pivotal rod, a spring slipped onto the pivotal rod, an assembly board, and a friction portion. The friction portion has a spacer, a baffle, a push gasket, and a skidproof gasket, which are assembled on the pivotal rod in order. Static balance is achieved between a torsion of the spring, the weight of an object and an elastic pressing force and a friction force of the friction portion to arbitrarily position the included angle between two objects. The spring is used to restore the original included angle between the two objects.
