  • Patent number: 10065538
    Abstract: An articulation mechanism comprising first and second frames mounted in a rotatable manner with respect to one another and connected together by a gear controlled by an input member (11) actuating an eccentric cam mounted in a rotatable manner in a cylindrical housing integral with the first frame. The cam is formed of two cam parts that are elastically urged towards a position of maximum eccentricity and are movable towards a position of minimum eccentricity during actuation of the input member. A load-spreading washer is mounted in a rotatable manner with play in the cylindrical housing, parallel to the eccentric cam.

  • Patent number: 9527410
    Abstract: Hinge mechanism comprising a first frame and a second frame mounted to rotate relative to one another and bounding an interior space, an adjustment device adapted to allow adjustment of the angular position between the first frame and second frame, a stop member integral with the first frame and arranged within the interior space, the stop member cooperating in abutment with the second frame to limit the relative rotation of the first frame and second frame between first and second angular end-of-travel positions. The stop member protrudes from the first frame.

  • Patent number: 8672407
    Abstract: hinge mechanism comprising first and second rotating frames and a control member mounted rotatably in a neck of the first frame, such control member being capable of controlling the relative rotation of the frames. A metal retaining part is held in the neck by pressing, and the control member is mounted rotatably independently of the retaining part and abuts against such retaining part.
