Patent number: 6733005Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanical structure of an extendable electrical device comprising a body part (300) and a sleeve-like grip part (301). The smooth longitudinal movement between a retracted and extended position is effected by a clockspring in a spring barrel (302). A belt is wrapped around the barrel, and a slide part (306) is attached to the free end of the belt. When the device is retracted, the slide part with the belt slides along a longitudinal groove (304) made on at least one side of the body part until the slide part is interlocked. In response to pushing a releasing element, the interlocking is released, whereupon the belt is wrapped around the barrel and the body part slides smoothly to extended position.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Ilpo Kauhaniemi, Antti Rönkkö, Matti Kosonen, Eero Mäki-Tulokas, Tomi Kanninen

Patent number: 6695103Abstract: The invention concerns a spring barrel module having two chambers. A spring is located in the first chamber and a damper in the second chamber. The unidirectional damper is implemented by a clutch means that connects the damper plate to the spring shaft when the tightened spring is released, whereby the rotation of the damper slows down. Correspondingly, the clutch loosens the connection between the damper plate and the spring shaft when the spring is tightened. In low temperatures (e.g. below 0° C. degrees) the damper fails to dampen the rotation. The unidirectional feature of the damper improves both usability and durability. Breakage of the mechanical components of the spring barrel is prevented by an overload clutch, which means that the spring barrel module will tolerate even relatively rough handling of the equipment.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Ilpo Kauhaniemi, Antti Rönkkö, Matti Kosonen

Publication number: 20020069483Abstract: A hinge is constructed for automatically opening the cover panel of an electronic device. The hinge assembly includes a torsion bar on which is concentrically mounted a series of cylindrical barrels. The torsion bar is fixed to the base of the device at one end and to the cover at its other end in such a manner that the torsion acts as spring which is loaded by the closing rotation of the cover. The cover is opened by releasing the loaded torsion bar and allowing the cover to rotate to its open position. Viscous damping is provided to control the rotation of the cover support barrel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2000Publication date: June 13, 2002Inventors: Pertti Savolainen, Ilpo Kauhaniemi, Jari Suutari, Su-Jung Kim, Antero Aaltonen, Antti Ronkko, Jarkko Rouvinen, Matti Kosonen
