  • Patent number: 7594299
    Abstract: A stabilizing mechanism for a two part foldable hinged device having a cover and a base is disclosed and includes at least one elastic member having one end attached to the cover and a second opposite end attached to the base. The elastic member has a bending section defined between the ends which extends to increase the contact surface area of the base as the cover pivots open with respect to the base to keep the device from tipping over when the device is placed on a resting surface. The bending section is formed between two spaced apart knuckles whereby the elastic member bends with a controlled variable displacement to provide a greater rate of available contact surface as the cover and base pivot relative to one another, particularly between 90° and 180°. A portion of the second opposite end of the elastic member may extend beyond the downwardly facing surface of the base to make contact with the resting surface to prevent the device from sliding on the surface.
