Patent number: 11572975Abstract: A device for supporting an electronic display includes a base, a display mount having a first position and a second position relative to the base, and a connection mechanism positioned between the base and the display mount. The connection mechanism is configured to rotate and translate the display mount from the first position to the second position according to a torque curve. The torque curve includes a discovery stage adjacent the first position, an initiation stage rotationally after the discovery stage, and an approach stage rotationally after the initiation stage. The connection mechanism applies a force toward the first position in the discovery stage. The connection mechanism having an initiation force applied toward the first position that is greater than the force in the discovery stage. The approach stage having an approach force applied toward the second position.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kae-Ling Jacquline Gurr, Jonne Aapi Harju, Eric Paul Witt, Timothy Guyton Escolin, Ryan Eugene Whitaker, Young Soo Kim, James David Wahl, Daniel Clark Park, Bruce James Sandmeyer, Scott Ashley Rutschman, William Loren Emery

Publication number: 20220173548Abstract: A connector assembly including a first intermediate connector member associated with a first device and having a first connector interface and a second intermediate connector having a second connector interface. The first intermediate connector and the second intermediate connector are movable between an interfaced state in which the first connector interface is in contact with the second connector, and a tethered state in which the first connector interface is spaced apart from the second connector interface. The connector assembly further includes a tether member connecting the first intermediate connector and the second intermediate connector in the tethered state. The tether may include a flexible body configured to control a path along at least an axis of either the first intermediate connector or the second intermediate connector during movement from the interfaced state to the tethered state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2019Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: James David WAHL, Xianming HUANG, Royce Dean CHANG, Colin Kelong ZHAO, Jonne Aapi HARJU

Patent number: 10627854Abstract: A device for supporting an electronic display includes a base, a display mount, and a connection mechanism positioned between the base and the display mount. The display mount is movably connected to the base and movable between a first position and a second position. The connection mechanism is configured to couple a rotation of the display mount relative to base to a translation of the display mount relative to the base such that the display mount experiences rotation and translation when the display mount is moved between the first position and the second position.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kae-Ling Jacquline Gurr, Jonne Aapi Harju, Eric Paul Witt, Timothy Guyton Escolin, Ryan Eugene Whitaker, Young Soo Kim, James David Wahl, Daniel Clark Park, Bruce James Sandmeyer, Scott Ashley Rutschman, William Loren Emery
