  • Publication number: 20100050386
    Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a shaft, a leaf, a rotatable joint, a positioning member, an elastic engaging member, and a fastening member. The leaf is non-rotatably mounted on the shaft, and the rotatable joint is rotatably mounted on the shaft. The positioning member includes an engaging surface, and is non-rotatable relative to the rotatable joint. The elastic engaging member includes an engaging surface, and is non-rotatably sleeved on the shaft. The fastening member is engaged on the shaft. One of the engaging surfaces of the positioning member and the engaging member forms an engaging protrusion, and the other one of the engaging surfaces of the positioning member and the engaging member defines an engaging slot engaging with the engaging protrusion.

  • Publication number: 20100037430
    Abstract: An exemplary hinge assembly includes a shaft, a cam, a cam follower, a first elastic member, a second elastic member, a first sleeve, a second sleeve. The cam and the cam follower are sleeved on the shaft. The first elastic member is sleeved on the shaft, and configured for producing an elastic force along the shaft. The first sleeve is sleeved on the shaft, and non-rotatably connected to the cam follower. The second sleeve is sleeved on the shaft, and non-rotatably connected to the cam. The second elastic member is sleeved on the shaft, and configured for producing an elastic force for driving the first sleeve to rotate relative to the second sleeve. The controlling member resists one of the cam and cam follower, and capable of driving the cam away from the cam follower.

  • Publication number: 20100022286
    Abstract: An exemplary sliding mechanism includes a main plate, a slide plate, and a clock spring positioned between the main plate and the slide plate. The slide plate is slidably connected to the main plate. The clock spring includes a first spiral portion fixed to the slide plate, a second spiral portion fixed to the main plate, and a connecting portion connecting the first spiral portion to the second spiral portion. The clock spring is configured for driving the slide plate and enabling the slide plate to slide along the main plate after the slide plate is manually moved to a predetermined position with respect to the main plate.
