  • Patent number: 11726531
    Abstract: A hinge is adapted to an electronic device having two screens. A base body of the hinge is mounted to a host base of the electronic device. The base body includes an operating portion and a linkage portion connected to each other. A first screen of the two screens is connected to the operating portion; a second screen of the two screens is connected to the linkage portion. The first screen rotates according to an operating part of the operating portion, and a driver assembly of the hinge simultaneously drives the operating portion and the linkage portion to rotate, so that the first screen and the second screen rotate simultaneously. By the simple hinge linkage structure design, the two screens rotate in opposite directions when being open, and may provide parallel slopes for viewing when being open to a preset open angle, thereby enhancing the convenience and smoothness of operation.

  • Patent number: 10480226
    Abstract: A hinge includes a connecting bracket, first and second revolving axles, and first and second latches. The connecting bracket has first and second restriction blocks. The first and second revolving axles are parallel with each other and pivotally disposed on the connecting bracket. The first revolving axle has first and second cams. The first cam cooperates with the first restriction block in restricting a revolving stroke of the first revolving axle. The second revolving axle has third and fourth cams. The third cam cooperates with the second restriction block in restricting a revolving stroke of the second revolving axle. Peripheries of the first to the fourth cams respectively have a convex portion and a concave portion. The first latch is slidable between the first cam and the third cam. The second latch is slidable between the second cam and the fourth cam.
