  • Patent number: 9210241
    Abstract: A sliding plate hinge of a portable electronic device terminal includes a fixed plate and a sliding plate. A sliding-guide groove for the sliding plate is disposed at either side of the fixed plate. A frictional component supported by an elastic component is also disposed at either side of the fixed plate respectively. The frictional components at the two sides form a compression fit with the side surface of the sliding plate or with the side surface of a component fixedly connected to the sliding plate, so as to generate side pressure against the sliding plate or the component fixedly connected to the sliding plate. The design utilizes the frictional components to generate side pressure against the sliding plate or the component fixedly connected to the sliding plate and thus generate frictional damping, ensuring that the sliding plate hinge has a comfortable hand-feel even in the absence of a drive spring.

  • Patent number: 9016946
    Abstract: A slide plate hinge comprises a fixed plate, and a slide plate. A slide plate sliding guide groove is respectively arranged on each of both sides of the fixed plate. The central section of the groove wall at one side of the sliding guide groove is of an elastic structure, and the elastic structure and the groove wall at the other side of the sliding guide groove clamps the slide plate. The slide plate hinge can implement the sliding guide and friction clamping on the slide plate by use of the sliding guide groove of an elastic structure, with high structural integration and concealability, thereby enabling the slide plate hinge to still have good hand feeling even without driving springs and enabling the slide plate to be stopped at any time amid the sliding process. The driving springs are not indispensable, so the thickness of the hinge can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8540223
    Abstract: This invention provides the combined driving spring in the slide cover hinge of the mobile communication terminal. It comprises multiple springs in the same shape, the multiple springs are arranged and combined in turn on the same plane, with their both ends fixed; the driving spring is provided with connections on its both ends to match with the slide in the slide hinge. The shape of the spring is similar to the shape W. The driving spring provided by this invention can be directly used as a driving mechanism in the slide hinge for the mobile communication terminals, simplifying the structure of the driving mechanism. In particular, when the spring in the shape of W is employed, the spring can not only facilitate the combination connection, but also provide a greater force. Besides, when the slide cover slides, less area is occupied when the spring deforms, making it easier to arrange other parts of the mobiles device.
