  • Publication number: 20240353042
    Abstract: An alignment guiding sleeve for quick coupler includes a guiding sleeve having a closed engaging end provided with an engaging bore and an open guiding end defining a guiding bore and formed into a beveled guiding surface, and internally defining a guiding passage extending between and communicable with the engaging end and the guiding end. A male coupler can be assembled to the guiding sleeve by inserting through the engaging bore. The beveled guiding surface is adapted to guide a female couple into the guiding passage to connect to the male coupler. With the beveled guiding surface, any radial offset between the female coupler and the male coupler can be corrected, so that the female and the male coupler can be eventually aligned axially to connect together end to end without causing wear and incomplete watertight connection at the joint of the female and male couplers to result in leakage.

  • Patent number: 11697956
    Abstract: A hinge includes a rotating shaft, two pivoting parts, and a seat. The rotating shaft includes a friction section and a protruding section coaxially extending from the friction section. Each of the pivoting parts includes a connecting piece and a sleeve piece. Each sleeve piece is extended from an edge side of the corresponding connecting piece, and bent and wrapped to form a sleeve hole. Each sleeve piece is configured to be sleeved on the friction section, and the two sleeve pieces on the peripheral surface of the friction section are bent and wrapped in different directions respectively. The seat includes a shaft hole. The friction section and the sleeve pieces are jointly arranged in the shaft hole, the connecting piece is fixed on the seat, and the protruding section protrudes out of the seat.

  • Patent number: 11473356
    Abstract: A hinge is mountable on a flexible display unit including a housing shell unit and a display unit. The hinge includes a base seat, a torsion module disposed above the base seat and secured to the display unit, and a bracket module disposed below the base seat. The torsion module includes two outer supporting units and an inner supporting unit at two ends and a middle of the base seat. The bracket module has two brackets securely connected to two support plates of the display unit and rotatable relative to the base seat. The hinge is rotatable between an unfolded position where the brackets are in an unfolded state, and an outfolding position where the brackets are close to and face each other. The outer and inner supporting units cooperatively define a semicircular-shaped supporting surface in the outfolding position for supporting the display unit.

  • Patent number: 11365573
    Abstract: A double-screen rotary shaft structure includes two synchronous spiral channels disposed on the link shafts. Asynchronous assembly is slidably pivotally fitted on the two link shafts. Two bosses are disposed on the synchronous assembly and respectively inlaid in the spiral channels of the link shafts. Two connection members are respectively securely connected with the two link shafts. Two link assemblies are respectively pivotally fitted on the link shafts to synchronously move with the synchronous assembly. Two slide members are attached to lower sides of the connection members and formed with oblique slots. A guide slide connection member is disposed in each oblique slot and connected with the link assembly. The middle sections of two links are pivotally disposed on the connection members. Each link has a driving end pivotally connected with the link assembly and a driven end to drive the slide member.

  • Patent number: 11334122
    Abstract: A hinge mechanism includes first and second inner guiding members secured on a base seat, and first and second movable members slidable engaged with the first and second inner guiding members and connected with first and second substrate units. During the movement of the movable members to an upright folded state, inboard end edges of the substrate units are moved away from each other to provide a bending space therebetween for a flexible display attached to the substrate units to be bendably received therein.
