  • Patent number: 11366497
    Abstract: A multi-body device includes a first machine body, a second machine body, a rotating member, a first magnetic member, a second magnetic member, and a stopper. The second machine body is pivoted to a pivot side of the first machine body. The rotating member is pivoted to the pivot side of the first machine body and located beside the second machine body. The first magnetic member is disposed at the second machine body. The second magnetic member is disposed at a portion of the rotating member corresponding to the first magnetic member. Two corresponding ends of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are magnetically repulsive to each other. The stopper is driven by the second machine body and disposed at the pivot side of the first machine body, so as to stretch into or retreat from a rotation path of the rotating member.

  • Patent number: 7485996
    Abstract: A position retention device includes a pivot member having a mounting axle, a cylindrical seat, a cylindrical housing and an annular member. A cylindrical seat is mounted co-axially on the mounting axle of the pivot member, and has pluralities of circumferentially formed and alternately disposed north and south pole sectors. A cylindrical housing is mounted co-axially and rotatably on the mounting axle of the pivot member. An annular member is disposed within the annular receiving chamber in the cylindrical housing for simultaneous rotation with the cylindrical housing. The annular member has pluralities of circumferentially formed and alternately disposed north and south pole sectors. Position of the cylindrical housing is retained stationarily with respect to the cylindrical seat by virtue of attraction between adjacent two of the north or south pole sectors of the cylindrical seat and the annular member.

  • Patent number: 7267566
    Abstract: A hinge assembly includes an inner ring and an outer ring. The outer ring has an outer ring slot penetrating the sidewall of the outer ring and connecting both ends of the outer ring. The inner ring has an inner ring slot penetrating the sidewall of the inner ring and connecting both ends of the inner ring. The inner ring is coaxially connected to the outer ring. When the inner ring slot and the outer ring slot are aligned, an electrical connecting device can pass through the inner ring slot and outer ring slot to stay in the hinge assembly.

  • Patent number: 7261579
    Abstract: A wire-to-board connector for coupling electrically a circuit board to a transmission wire unit, includes a plug receptacle, a plurality of signal contacts and a mating header. The plug receptacle is mounted on the circuit board. The mating header includes an insert body that is disposed at one end of the transmission wire unit and that has a plurality of resilient metal elements. When the insert body is plugged into the plug receptacle, the resilient metal elements respectively contact with the signal contacts of the plug receptacle, thereby establishing electrical communication with the circuit board and the transmission wire unit.

  • Publication number: 20070091582
    Abstract: A mobile phone includes a main body, a first magnetic device, a slide cover and a second magnetic device. The first magnetic device is disposed on the main body. The slide cover is slidably connected to the main body and can slide relative to the main body. The second magnetic device is disposed on the slide cover. When the slide cover moves to a distance relative to the main body, the first magnetic device attracts the second magnetic device so that the slide cover slides to a first positioning point.

  • Publication number: 20060261605
    Abstract: A device having a magnetically rotary cover mechanism is disclosed. Coupled magnets are pivotally mounted on one side of a cover cap of the device, and an attractive or repulsive force between the coupled magnets controls the cover cap to close an opening. The present invention uses the coupled magnets to replace the conventional elastic members for controlling the cover cap to close the opening, thereby simplifying and saving the process and time for assembling the device.
