  • Patent number: 8978495
    Abstract: A synchronous movement-aid device for slide module includes at least one aid device. The aid device includes a first arm, a second arm connected with the first arm and a rotational wheel connected with the second arm and rotatable with the movement of the second arm. The first arm has a pivoted end mounted on a rail. When an external force is applied to the first arm, the pivoted end can freely move along the rail relative to the second arm. The second arm has a fixed end connected to the rotational wheel. When the first arm moves along the rail, the rotational wheel is driven to rotate so as to achieve better synchronous movement effect than the conventional slide mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8947867
    Abstract: A sliding-type electronic apparatus with a strengthening force structure includes a body served as a system terminal and an upper cover disposed on the body and having a surface configured with a touch screen. A sliding and cover-lifting member constituted by a sliding rail, a sliding member and a pivot shaft device is at least disposed between the body and the upper cover. In a normal state, a supporting device, together with the sliding and cover-lifting member, is horizontally and supportively placed in a preset concave chamber space of the body. The auxiliary supporting devices can be formed as an inclined auxiliary support structure on the rear surface of the upper cover when the upper cover is lifted, thereby effectively increasing the screen touch resistance to inhibit screen wobble in an operation process and to promote the support effect and operation stability of the screen.

    Abstract: A shield module travel enlarging structure includes a front cover and a rear cover formed with opposite windows. The front and rear covers are assembled to form a module main body having an internal operation space. A shield is mounted in the operation space and movable between a position in alignment with the opposite windows and a position misaligned from the opposite windows. A transmission gear is mounted in the internal operation space of the module main body to cooperate with the shield. The transmission gear at least has a large-gear-ratio gear and a small-gear-ratio gear. The large-gear-ratio gear is drivingly engaged with the shield. A push member is drivingly engaged with the small-gear-ratio gear. When the push member is moved, via the transmission gear, the shield is slid by an enlarged travel.

  • Patent number: 8833190
    Abstract: A relative-rotation synchronous movement-aid device, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. The synchronous movement-aid device includes a linking arm and a rotational wheel assembled with the linking arm. The linking arm has a pivoted end and a free end mounted on the rotational wheel. The pivoted end is mounted on a rail. When an external force is applied to the linking arm, the pivoted end can freely move along the rail. The free end serves to make the rotational wheel relatively rotate along with the movement of the linking arm to achieve better synchronous movement effect than the conventional slide mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8831696
    Abstract: A slide-aid device for electronic apparatus includes a linkage mechanism and an elastic unit assembled with the linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism has a first arm and a second arm pivotally connected with the first arm. The elastic unit has a fixed end and a connection end. The connection end is pivotally connected with the second arm, whereby the elastic unit is movable with the second arm. When an operation force is applied to the first arm, the first arm is moved to drive the second arm so as to make the elastic unit store energy. After the first arm passes over a reference axis, the elastic unit releases the energy to provide an action force to help the operation force.

  • Patent number: 8628244
    Abstract: An anti-interference structure of relative slide assembly includes a relative slide member and a slide member. At least one guide member is disposed on the relative slide member. The guide member has a support section rising from a surface of the relative slide member. At least one guide slope is formed on one side of the support section. The slide member is relatively slidably connected with the relative slide member. At least one raised abutment section is disposed on the slide member and slidable with the slide member. The support section is positioned in the sliding path of the raised abutment section. During the sliding movement of the slide member along the relative slide member, the raised abutment section abuts against the support section to enlarge the gap between the slide member and the relative slide member so as to avoid interference therebetween due to deformation of the components.

  • Patent number: 8616769
    Abstract: A slide rail structure of relative slide assembly includes two slide guide members disposed on a slide member. Each slide guide member has a locating section connected with the slide member. The locating section has a slide guide section disposed on one side of the locating section, which side is distal from an edge of the slide member. The slide guide section is bent toward the edge of the slide member. Two pivot seats are pivotally disposed on two sides of a relative slide member. A main support is connected on each pivot seat. The main support has a relative slide guide section disposed on the main support and slidable along the slide guide section. The slide guide section is bent over the locating section in an overlapping state. Therefore, the width and volume of the slide guide member are minified to enlarge internal utility space of the slide member.
