  • Patent number: 11194367
    Abstract: In the foldable device according to the present invention, the inner wall surface of a hinge section forms a part of the side surface of a columnar space that has a cross-section having an arc with a radius R0. When a first unit and a second unit are connected to each other in an open state by means of the hinge section, a flexible cable forms an arc with a radius R1 that is substantially equal to the radius R0.

  • Patent number: 10476056
    Abstract: A battery pack housing structure is used for an electronic apparatus including a housing portion for housing a battery pack and a battery cover for covering the housing portion. The battery pack, the housing portion, and the battery cover comprise battery-pack side-surface protruding portions, housing-portion side-surface protruding portions, and cover lower-surface protruding portions, respectively. Before the battery pack is positioned at a mounting position in the electronic apparatus, the battery pack is positioned at a pre-mounting position. When the battery cover is mounted, the battery pack is pushed from the pre-mounting position to the mounting position. The battery-pack side-surface protruding portions, the housing-portion side-surface protruding portions, and the cover lower-surface protruding portions are engaged, and movement of the battery pack in a terminal connection direction and movement of the battery pack from the lower surface toward the upper surface are thereby restricted.

  • Patent number: 8196261
    Abstract: A tilt hinge includes a movable range fixed tilt hinge and a movable range switching member. The movable range fixed tilt hinge includes a spindle, a movable bracket rotatably arranged around the spindle and having a projecting piece, a fixed bracket fixed to the spindle, and a stopper fixed to the spindle and having first and second cam portions. The stopper restricts a moving range of the movable bracket within a first movable range by engaging the projecting piece with the first and the second cam portions. A friction imparting arrangement has a friction built between the movable bracket and the fixed bracket. The movable range switching member is enable to switch the moving range of the movable bracket between the first movable range and a second movable range smaller than the first movable range by a pushing operation.
