  • Publication number: 20160216744
    Abstract: A hinge includes a first coupling member including an axle with a non-circular cross section, and a second coupling member including a sleeve and an elastic abutting arm. The axle includes a protruding portion formed on a curvy outer peripheral surface thereof. The sleeve is rotatably sleeved on the pivot axle. The arm is spaced from the sleeve, and abuts against the outer peripheral surface. The protruding portion is in a rotation path of the arm such that when the second coupling member is rotated to a predetermined angle relative to the first coupling member along a direction, the arm is elastically deformed to abut against the protruding portion and form a torque in the direction.

  • Patent number: 8821179
    Abstract: A clamp mechanism for clamping a cable on a circuit board is disclosed in the present invention. The clamp mechanism includes a base disposed on the circuit board. The cable can be accommodated inside the base. The clamp mechanism further includes a clamping portion disposed on the base in a resiliently deformable manner. The clamping portion moves away from the circuit board when the cable is accommodated inside the base, and a resilient recovering force generated by the resilient deformation simultaneously drives the clamping portion to press the cable, so as to constrain a movement of the cable relative to the base.
