Abstract: Examples of hinge assemblies are described. In an example implementation, a hinge assembly includes hinge elements which are interconnected to move the hinge assembly between a folded position and an unfolded position. The hinge assembly further includes elastic members disposed between the hinge elements at a first side and a second side thereof. When the hinge assembly is moved from the unfolded position towards the folded position, elastic members at the first side are decompressed and elastic members at the second side are stretched. When the hinge assembly is moved from the folded position towards the unfolded position, elastic members at the first side are compressed and the elastic members at the second side are destretched.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide a hinge for a foldable display unit. One example hinge includes a plurality of brackets. A bracket from the plurality of brackets is to operably couple to an adjacent bracket from the plurality of brackets, to be folded into an arcuate shape. The hinge further includes a plurality of links to operably couple the plurality of brackets to each other. A first end of a first link from the plurality of links is rotatably connected to an end of a second link from the plurality of links according to a first frictional value. A second end of the first link is rotatably connected to an end of a third link from the plurality of links according to a second frictional value less than the first frictional value.

Abstract: A foldable hinge is described herein that includes a plurality of interconnected sliding links, wherein each of the interconnected sliding links comprise at least one curved extruding prong and at least one curved rail. The at least one curved rail of a first interconnected sliding link can be coupled to the at least one curved extruding prong of a second interconnected sliding link to form a torque engine. Additionally, the interconnected sliding links can be rotatable based on a pressure applied to the interconnected sliding links. The foldable hinge can also include a plurality of shafts coupled to the plurality of interconnected sliding links, wherein each shaft is coupled to a separate interconnected sliding link.

Abstract: A dual-axis hinge assembly may include a casing defining a first slot and a second slot. Further, the dual-axis hinge assembly may include a first shaft and a second shaft received through the first and second slots, respectively. The first shaft and the second shaft may engage with a first housing and a second housing of an electronic device. Furthermore, dual-axis hinge assembly may include a foldable linkage disposed in the casing and connected between the first shaft and the second shaft. Furthermore, dual-axis hinge assembly may include an elastic member connected to the foldable linkage. The foldable linkage and the elastic member may enable the first shaft and the second shaft to slide along the first slot and the second slot to variably adjust a distance between a pivot axis of the first housing and a pivot axis of the second housing.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates to hinge connectors with rotation control units. In an example, a hinge connector may couple a base unit with a cover unit of a device. The hinge connector includes hinge shaft. The rotation control unit is to control the rotation of the hinge shaft and stop a free-rotation of the hinge shaft at a predefined angle with respect to the base unit.

Abstract: In one example, a hinge assembly is disclosed, which may include a first member and a second member rotatably connected to the first member through a mounting portion. The mounting portion may include a first surface having a first protrusion and a second surface, opposite the first surface, having a second protrusion. Further, the hinge assembly may include a first cam fixed to the first member and disposed adjacent to the first surface and a second cam fixed to the first member and disposed adjacent to the second surface. The first cam and second cam being engageable with the first protrusion and the second protrusion, respectively, to shift an axis of rotation of the second member.
