  • Patent number: 10496129
    Abstract: A hinge device can detect an open angle and an opening/closing angular velocity with high responsiveness and simple configuration. The hinge device enables rotary motion of a main-body chassis and a display chassis, and includes a first chassis shaft non-rotatably provided with respect to the main-body chassis, a second chassis shaft non-rotatably provided with respect to the display chassis, a cylindrical body into which the first chassis shaft is inserted to rotate with rotary motion thereof, a ring-type magnet non-rotatably fixed to the cylindrical body, a sensor that detects a movement of the magnet associated with the rotary motion from the change of magnetism, and a controller that reads a signal from the sensor to calculate an open angle and an opening/closing angular velocity.

  • Patent number: 10289165
    Abstract: An electronic device having two chassis stably attached to each other is provided. The electronic device includes a first chassis having a display and a second chassis detachable from the first chassis. The second chassis includes a support post that protrudes from the attachment surface to which the first chassis is attached and has a claw portion on a tip side. The first chassis includes a post hole into which the support post is inserted and an engaging projection that engages with the claw portion of the support post inserted into the post hole and elastically biased so that the claw portion can be pressed towards the insertion direction to the post hole. The first chassis has an engaging slider having the engaging projection where the engaging projection is elastically biased in a direction of engaging with the claw portion.
